We’re doing a solar install and we refused Tesla batteries solely because of Musk. I won’t have his shit in my driveway, powering my home, or in my social usage. He’s fucking cancer.

The Democrats have an unusually deep bench right now. Honestly there’s probably at least 5 very high quality candidates for Veep. Another 5 won’t take it because they plan on running for Prez themselves and don’t want to backbench when their current gig is going so well.

The veep choice won’t be a problem.

They were commenting with confidence about the current political situation. My first thought was non American, but their statement is quite definitive for someone that doesn’t have a basic understanding of our legislative process.

Like I said, I wasn’t trying to be a jerk. I really wasn’t.

No. Republicans control the House. Democrats cannot pass a bill without their support.

I don’t mean to be a jerk, but why don’t you know that?

Because Paul Pelosi is a trader.

And Pelosi’s trades are all tech which makes perfect sense because she’s the rep from San Fran. Most of them are long big tech which would have crushed over the past decade or two.

I was an election monitor in the US. I am not aware of a state that lets anyone walk in and vote without any form of ID. If your ID is incorrect or cannot be confirmed, your vote is provisional and you have the opportunity to fix the issue.

Thanks for the post. I ended up reading a bunch on how it works and learned quite a bit.

I'm a new iphone user and the "every browser is Safari" thing is weird as hell to me.

Another for the wishlist. Thanks for posting that.

My kids played this till their eyes bled. Great local screen party game.

That has been the case for every election that’s ever existed. What we want is always overtaken by what we don’t want.

I’m an old man now, and I realized at some point that I won’t get what I want. Now I just want to position my community and my country in a way that following generations don’t have to dig out of a massive hole to find their own progress.

And that means Biden or Harris or whoever.

I used Proxmox for awhile, then went to Unraid. I learned a lot using Proxmox but for ease of homelabbing, it’s tough to beat Unraid. It depends on what you’re wanting from your lab.
