It would require two people to either die or resign. Granted the President is like 130 and the Presidency ages you in dog years so the likelihood he dies in office is higher than most. But then there's a healthy Kamala Harris next up who gets to pick her own VP, who would then become first in line.

While I disagree with Kamala Harris on pretty much everything and don't think she would make a good President, she'd be a lot better than this wanker.

The down side is it does position him high in the Republican Party making him a presumptive front runner unless another option emerges.

If you watch Critical Role I like Imogen's accent.

I'm not sure if psilocybin shows up on a follicle test.

Speaking as the token conservative in the room... yeah I'm here for this.

Appalled? No.

Annoyed? Yeah.

Firefox was great at launch (seems like 100 years ago now), got a little bloaty there in the middle, and is great again now. And it's not dependent on Chromium.

In case anyone's curious.

I'm not saying it was the ideal thing, I'm saying people mostly suck and moderating something sucks a lot less when you can fire the person who decided to say "pinche tu madre" meant "have a nice day."

They're all much smaller, both area and population wise. Hence why I suggested those decisions happen at the State level.

Which is exactly why the Senate is there, to be honest. The Federal government shouldn't be legislating things that can change at a whim. They're the element of temperance.

If anything is going to change it needs to start at the State level.

In my opinion virtually all governing should happen at the State level but there's a lot of fascists that disagree with local governance.

His comment wasn't irony, there's no national referendum process for a very good reason.

I'm not sure if you've ever moderated anything volunteer based but.. honestly you can't give the internet anything nice.

The one that looks like it's had a stroke?

Yeah my server is an i5 using an onboard GPU so it's nothing crazy but it's got 80TB of drive space, so I optimize for what I put my money into.

Hell, sometimes it's even easier to copy the data to my gaming rig, transcode it, and rsync it back. If I'm done playing for the night and about to go to bed and I have like a TV show or something I know has to be transcoded, I'll just queue up a job and let it run while I'm sleeping and script it so it rsyncs everything back when it's done transcoding.

If anyone knows of a good ebook reader that's as easy on the eyes as a Kindle I'd love to know it. Everything I look at looks like a low spec tablet instead of a proper eink display.

Edit: thanks to a few comments in this thread I went with the Kobo Libra 2. I love this little device. Plenty of storage, a great display that's really easy on the eyes even with the backlight (which is fully dimmable and has color temperature adjustment). Thanks for everyone for the recommendations!

Admittedly the server on which it's running is pretty beefy and I don't let it transcode. I've got enough disk space that if something spends time transcoding I just optimize it to a new version of the file.

By bandwidth I was speaking in terms of network only, but if you were to run it on a simple server that didn't do any transcoding it might be ok.

This is a topic that has centuries of history, dating back well before the existence of either Israel or Palestine as countries. You won't find a single source that can actually get into the thousands of nuances involved. Don't think there are only two sides, either. Read from everywhere, make up your own mind, but honestly you'll never fully understand it.

If I'm just using them as a glorified small Linux box it could work pretty well. If you're going to host services that don't require a ton of bandwidth you don't need a hard line or anything. Hell my Plex server is using WiFi (802.11ax but still) and it delivers 4K just fine.

They might get some money from them but certainly not entirely. There's an entire Mozilla Foundation.

John said he pressed representatives of Tesla on whether he or Rob were at fault for the damage, to which he claims he was told that it was a weather issue. He added: "They said that the battery is effectively submerged in water. How can that be our fault?

The car got flooded, then? That's an insurance problem not a repair problem.

That's a thing?

Are the people you're watching at least doing anything interesting? Like I'll watch a girl get at it watching porn.. but that's just a "he likes to watch" thing.

I used to be a Brave user. I loved it. It worked well, it blocked ads without me asking, whatever. Then Google said they're gonna bake ad blocker blocking into the API and, knowing Brave was Chromium based, I went back to Mozilla after like 100 years.

Two observations:

1. I was kinda deluded
2. Mozilla got their shit together, Firefox is as awesome again, by comparison, as it was when they unseated Internet Explorer.
