I'm convinced conservatives would vote for a potato if you put it in a Nazi arm band at this point.

Every time I look at Matt Gaetz, all I can see is if Butthead (from Beavis and Butthead) were a real person and grew up rich.

Any tips for eliminating the stutter, or increasing the smoothness of the emulation? I've got an i7-12700k, 4090, and 64GB of ram and it seems to struggle a bit.

4 doesn't feel like enough to make the full curve but I bet its starting to get close. 8 is probably what you'd need for to truly encircle yourself

As far as the legal and historical precedent goes - we fought a war over it.

Exactly, there's a whole bunch of "winter" cowboys in Montana and Wyoming, lol

Delayed onset mental deterioration caused by a decade or two of exposure to leaded gasoline.

It just means you're accepting that there are different codes of law for different social strata, which is both unjust and contrary to the propaganda you were taught in school.

I'm just trying to pay for housing with my meager allotment of 80 hash browns per week

The thought of having literally every tool conceivable immediately available without having to move is fantastic.

I'm in love with the concept of laying under my car, while also being able to get any particular tool in my hand, without ever having to get up, or having a little pile of sockets, wrenches, and bolts next to me that I have to navigate by feel.

Agreed. We should (in the US) pay really high salaries to government officials, especially executive office/legislators/judges. Provide huge benefits like paid education and lifetime medical coverage for children and spouses (even if you retire), and a one time home purchase up to a certain amount in any location on retirement. It's yours and if you sell it, the income is yours too. Pension equivalent to salary, which is raised whenever it's increased for active government officials, and continues for your spouse after you die.

But in return, you and your spouse must fully divest yourself of any investments of any kind. You must sell any properties you own beyond a home in your constituent state. A home in DC will be provided, if applicable. Your spouse also may not have investments or own properties. Your adult children may have investments if they're managed by a blind trust.

After you retire, or "age out" at the current full social security age, or at the end of your assigned term after reaching that age, you may not ever hold another job ever again. You may not receive income in any form other than what is paid to you by the pension fund. You (and your spouse) may not own investments of any kind.

Don't like it? Cool, don't run for office.

My wife has an iPad and one of the things I hate the most is that you can't install adblock extensions into Firefox on it like you can on Android. Which is a thing that has made using the browser on the phone wayyyy more enjoyable.

Saw a video from Denmark I think where everyone is biking everywhere and the metro station has an enormous numbered rack for depositing bicycles for storage. The entire thing is spotless, well maintained, and has zero graffiti.

All I could think is that in the US the fabric of our society and the integrity of the social contract is so degraded that even if we somehow had the political capital to build it - it would be destroyed by individual anti-social behaviors. And we'd certainly never have the wherewithal to maintain or repair it.

Won't someone rid us of this meddlesome judge?

Shrek is a prince of nurgle confirmed

For printers, I'd like to suggest picking up a brother laser scanner/copier/printer off Craigslist.

They can usually be had for ~$100 if you just get black and they'll last for a stupidly long time. Toner is expensive but you'll easily get 1500+ pages out of one cartridge and it never dries out.

If you want color, look around for an HP laserjet pro. They're usually commercial grade and while you'll probably pay a fair bit more, I see them on Craigslist regularly for ~$150-250 depending on the model. I have one in my office and I've gotten several thousand pages through it with zero problems.

Prior to collapsing, Rome achieved a sustained population in excess of a million people.

This did not occur again anywhere else until the mid 1800s.

The case where it was determined that a company has a fiduciary duty to share holders to maximize profit is up there with Dobbs and Citizens United in terms of damage caused to the fabric of society.

Look, Solomon's temple ain't gunna rebuild itself on the temple mount so we gotta support Israeli genocide until that happens, otherwise Jesus won't return.

Don't worry though, when he does, he'll assuredly take all the good christians to heaven AND exterminate those non-believing Jews so the problem will sorta solve itself. Means to and end and all that.
