The wordplay in Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss that name drops Copperfield ain’t aging too well.

But I'd love a source for the non-partisian debates being scheduled after early voting starts.

I've never heard anything about that.

The article itself mentions that both campaigns have an issue with the debate commission scheduling after early voting. But let’s assume the AP is not a credible source and didn’t fact check this.

How long before the election does early voting begin? Looks like it’s 50 days in some instances:

Early in-person voting may begin as early as 50 days before the election … The average start date is 27 days before the election.

https://www.ncsl.org/elections-and-campaigns/early-in-person-voting

So let’s look at how well the commission did in 2020. Election Day was Nov. 3, 2020; 50 days prior was Sept. 14, 2020 and 27 days prior was Oct. 7, 2020.

Based on the schedule here: https://www.debates.org/debate-history/2020-debates/ there were three debates:

• Sept. 29, 2020: Biden v. Trump
• Oct. 7, 2020: Harris v. Pence
• Oct. 22, 2020: Biden v. Trump

So, yeah, not a single one of those dates is before the absolute start of early voting, and two of them are on or after the average start.

Seems like a valid and factual complaint to me.

I don’t have them tagged personally but you can always tell. It’s at the point where I read a couple words into the comment and I can tell which dumbass it is that wrote the L take.

Our federal government always moves slowly and almost always is decades behind popular opinion, that’s not news. What is news is that someone did something, and that person is Joe Biden. Even if it’s long overdue, and even if it could be better, he acted on the opportunity to make it happen and that deserves credit.

That’s the one.

“ … This is Trump Country. Our pronouns are USA and MAGA. …” Gaetz wrote Monday.

What a fivehead fucking tool Matt Gaetz is.

Yeah.. I would unironically rock those jeans.

I fly Delta a fair bit just because they’ve fucked me around the least out of the major US carriers. They also use Embraer models for shorter regional flights. However, yes, you’re correct in saying the odds are high that any given commercial jet in the air is a Boeing or an Airbus.

One can dream I suppose.

Oh so now Mitch is back to criticizing trump again? What did Mitch get rebooted again and forget endorsing him a few weeks ago?

Why the fuck would anyone want to be the Microsoft of anything?

Give Marge some credit, she probably plays a mean ass-tuba as well. It’s hard to tell though, they all just point the finger at one another as soon as anyone hears one squeak out.

Perhaps I’m more sensitive to tramadol, because for me it does slightly dull pain, but also makes me profoundly drowsy and itchy. I took it for one day after being prescribed and decided that tylenol was a better option.

Yeah.. that’s insane. I recently had surgery and was administered a small dose of fentanyl via IV while being held in post-op, I was also prescribed tramadol for pain management afterwards. Both drugs turned me into a zombie on their own. I can’t imagine mixing both, and also layering on weed, as a recreational substance.

Shocker. /s

The article title is straight up misinformation at present. From the article itself:

The FuryGPU is set to be open-sourced. “I am intending on open-sourcing the entire stack (PCB schematic/layout, all the HDL, Windows WDDM drivers, API runtime drivers, and Quake ported to use the API) at some point, but there are a number of legal issues,” Barrie wrote in a Hacker News post on Wednesday. Because he works in a tangentially related vocation, he wants to make sure none of this work would break his work contract or licensing etc.

Nothing against OP who simply copied the title, nor the project author. This is impressive but it’s not yet open source and there may be legal hurdles preventing it from becoming so.

My father had a Brother laser printer.

So it was an Uncle laser printer?

(I’m sorry I’ll see myself out)

Ooh I love the “don’t be a commie” addition. We all know how desperately those snowflake conservatives want to be part of the in-group. That shit will make their heads hurt.

Yeah, I was gonna leave something spicy like “Comcast, the shittiest company in the Milky Way” in my response, but I didn’t want to detract too much from answering the question asked.

It’s complicated because of megacorp structuring. In short they’re different divisions of the same mega network which is ultimately owned by Comcast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBCUniversal

It’s also worth noting that my comment above isn’t really about the quality or journalistic integrity of reporting, but the leadership that decided to hire an individual like Ronna McDaniel in the first place.
