Yeah, Republicans turned on Christie for acting like a normal human being instead of a political hack.
So DeSantis, in his pathetic and desperate quest for political power, would much rather run away from anything that has even the slightest possibility of making him look as inferior as he actually is. In other words, he's a cowardly political hack who spends every waking minute of his time calculating his next move in terms of optics, and not in terms of what is right, or true, or good for the people of his state, etc.
Between Trump avoiding the debate and DeSantis avoiding even been seen with Biden after a disaster, the Republicans are really nailing the point home that they are absolute wusses. Political cowards.
I think you're missing my point. I'm not saying WSL is a con, I'm saying that the reason Microsoft ships a Linux subsystem is that there are useful programs and things that can be done with Linux.
There are plenty of people with mental illnesses who are good people and upstanding members of society. Trump, on the other hand, is a toxic cocktail of narcissism, greed, stupidity, amorality, mental illness and evil.
I get it, but old cars are also much less efficient even than modern ICE cars, so if the goal is to facilitate a transition into EVs and hybrids it might make some sense. The obvious issue with that is that there is also an environmental cost to making new cars to replace all the old cars, and I personally don't know how that pencils out compared to keeping people in older, inefficient cars, even if they have a pretty limited lifespan anyway....
I guess I'm kind of torn on it. Personally I'd love to move away form my 2014 BMW which makes about 18mpg on average.
I would love to see that, if nothing else than to give classic cars new life as EVs or hybrids. Probably not something for purist-type collectors who want to keep things as stock as possible, but there are so many absolutely iconic old cars that I would love to continue to see kept alive.
Prohibition was put into full effect by congress and the only real way to end it is by an act of congress. Don't worry though, people who care about cannabis law are not going to give up the fight--this win was for a key battle, but the war for reasonable cannabis laws continues one step at a time.
Vote for cannabis-friendly politicians on every level, do your best to pass cannabis-friendly laws in your state, and support your best local cannabis brands and dispensaries. After a century of illogical, hypocritical and racist cannabis laws, the last decade has truly seen a radical change in law and public opinion. We all feel that there is more that needs to be done, but there is value in taking a step back and acknowledging just how far this stuff has come.
Imagine punishing someone for attacking democracy and attempted an armed insurrection. I don't believe in the death sentence on moral grounds, but life imprisonment is a suitable alternative for the most extreme crimes.
I'm curious how Europe, with its long history of revolution, torture and guillotines, would handle a coup attempt.
Sure but is financial fraud not a crime? Why not charge him criminally if he has been demonstrably fraudulent? I'm not a lawyer and I guess I don't really understand.
Kind of hard to believe people still say stuff like this...
There is plenty of stuff that Linux does much better than Windows, for example containerized service and applications, which is why Windows needs a Linux subsystem at all. It's possible that the main reason you think Linux is bad is that you aren't as familiar with it.
The biggest downside to Linux remains official hardware and software support, though that's a business economics issue and not a technical limitation.
I honestly could not imagine a circumstance in which I go back to using Windows or switch over to Mac, because Linux does basically everything I want and then some.
Save your money, buy a Steam Deck or a desktop PC, play games online with the internet service that you already pay a shit ton of money for, and don't look back. It's really stupid that we allowed game consoles to charge us to play online.
