There was also a separate full vote. Every single Republican present voted against it.

They did it because they didn't want to have to pay for flood insurance. They didn't give a shit about the kids' lives and just wanted to save money.

What exactly do you expect them to do? They're impotent because we didn't give them any power.

You can be friends with someone and recognize they'd be terrible to live with.

He's good as a comedian who criticizes politics, which, to be fair to him, is all he seems to want to be.

I said the guy is milquetoast and refuses to take real stances on much of anything and the rebuttal is to say he once stood for an incredibly safe and uncontroversial thing, which does not disprove my point.

To be a politician, you have to actually stand for something and come up with a platform of policies you'd enact at the risk of alienating people. Every time people ask him what he would do on a topic he's criticizing, he always dodges the question. He's a political coward that has far more in common with Chuck Schumer than any of you people downvoting me want to admit.

I've been watching the man for 25 years and I'm able to separate the fact that he's an enjoyable clown pandering to an audience from his actual politics.

Ah yes, one of the most milquetoast stances possible. What's next? Is he going to take a brave stance like childhood cancer is bad and raising children is good?

Maybe he'll hold another Rally to Restore Sanity, telling the left they're just as bad as the right and that they need to compromise with Republicans more and be nicer to bigots.

Stewart is a milquetoast both-sides-er. He can criticize and he's good at it, but he stands for very little and instantly retreats behind his "I'm just a comedian" shield when pressed to take a stance.

Hopefully Kitten Space Agency ends up being a true spiritual sequel.

To get the temperature probe data on your phone so that you don't have to repeatedly get up to check it. It's particularly useful for turkey, where the difference between moist and horribly dry white meat is only 5-10 degrees.

Traeger makes pellet smokers. They have a hopper full of wood pellets and a micro controller that feeds in pellets to maintain a set temperature. You can get ones with a temperature probe to stick in the meat and let you know when it's done, which is what the Wi-Fi is for.

There's a legit use case for them because they save a ton of time and effort over smoking the traditional way.

It's great for smoking though. I've done it the old fashioned way of staying up all night to feed wood into the smoker and I'll gladly take a wifi-enabled pellet smoker with a temperature probe over it.

Yes, but in Texas they only use it for dumb shit like waking up the entire state at 4am to warn them that a cop was shot the previous day in some podunk town 500 miles away.

It prevents rootkit malware that loads before the OS and therefore is very difficult to detect. If enabled, it tells your machine to only load the OS if it's signed by a trusted key and hasn't been tampered with.

I'll just leave this here: https://youtu.be/BckqviVaWl0

It's one of the reasons Tyranny is such a good game. You start out as a bad guy in an evil system. You can try to do good, but you never really succeed because you're trapped in an evil system.

The devs would probably prefer if their work for several years wasn't thrown in the trash. It's the publishers and suits killing games.

Just because you have admin rights doesn't mean the process you've invoked does. Unless you specifically elevate it or the process asks to elevate, it'll run unprivileged.

She apparently had an OF as well, which really draws out the judgmental weirdos.
