I was specifically referring to Biden's own words. "Nothing will fundamentally change" is a campaign promise. https://www.salon.com/2019/06/19/joe-biden-to-rich-donors-nothing-would-fundamentally-change-if-hes-elected/

Nothing will fundamentally change

That was an upgrade, imo

Yeah, this headline might read, "Guilliani required by law to surrender". Not news.

Detection of a WiFi signal does not mean you are detecting a specific machine's signal. Mike's drones will pick up the signals of every Wi-Fi hotspot in range. I seriously doubt these places are so isolated that the only signals around would be certain to belong to voting machines. Votes are often held in schools, libraries, city centers, etc. surrounded by hundreds of Wi-Fi signals. Didn't the Fulton County tabulation happen in State Farm Arena? Their website says that building has a capacity of over 15,000 people. It also says the building is equipped with Xfinity WiFi spots.

Even if you could confirm that an actual voting machine was connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot, that does not mean it has outbound or inbound Internet access. Even if you could tell that a voting machine was connected to a Wi-Fi signal with a route to the Internet, you would still have to have software on the machine that manipulated the data. If the concern is that some outsider is getting in, there would have to be open ports on the machines.

I wouldn't complain if our voting machines' software underwent static code analysis (it probably does, but I don't really know that) or if its source code was open. If these machines connect to a network, maybe some packet analysis is in order. But you're never going to snoop this traffic from a drone. This is the stupidest wardriving.

the presence of several hundred parasitic eggs suggests they [the pooper] were riddled with intestinal worms.

If Behind the Bastards is still running when he dies, I hope they do a series on Guilliani, et al.

I'm out here in 970. Not too far.

It is a rule of English grammar that city/state names are followed by commas. https://style.mla.org/commas-place-names/

Lawyers of Lemmy, let's say he gets stuck with a fine or some trivial amount of jail time or something as a result of these charges. Is there anything about these crimes or punishments that would prevent his presidential candidacy?

The way I do this is to start with leftovers from a pot of pinto beans. You strain out a bunch of the beans. Keep the jalapeno, onion, and tomato all in with the beans since they add so much flavor. Put some bacon grease in the bottom of a cast iron skillet. Heat/melt it and then add the strained beans and veggies. Smash it as it cooks with a fork. And smash it way more than OP has smashed theirs. That's way too lumpy. Should be a lot smoother than that, like a bean dip.

Does this indicate that these donors don't want Trump?

I think the place to make this argument is a few chapters later after the flood. Only two of every species. Except humans. iirc, there's Noah, his unnamed wife, and their three sons, Ham, Shem, and Japheth. I don't recall them having any daughters on board (might be wrong, it's been a while).

The city I live in has about 320,000 people in it. Union action has today materially improved the lives of more people than live in my entire city.

The games that don't work are typically (not exclusively) games with anti-cheat systems or live service games. Most everything else works out of the box on Steam with Proton.

It speaks more to the uncritical thinkers this party openly creates and then courts that it doesn't matter to them if their leaders blatantly lie to them. If it feeds into their bigotry and prejudice they eat it up. It's confirmation bias of the highest order.

I'm sure Abbott and his cronies are aware of this. They destroy education (openly opposing the teaching of critical thinking in their party's published platform), promote uncritical, religious, dogmatic thought instead, and then willfully exploit the idiocy they have bred for their own benefit.

Assume I've done zero reading on the subject. Are the Intel GPUs on par performance-wise with Nvidia and AMD chips?

They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

Full text of the statute. I am not a lawyer, but I am very curious about this. Various fraud/bribery/election related stuff I expected. I guess the angle here is that his actions were oppressive to voters' right to vote.
