Harris is even more unlikeable than a corpse and hrc, so the DNC will likely settle on her.

Why?

Biden is also Hitler. He is racist and fascist.

Prove it.

Why is she Hillary repeat?

They don't know. Watch... they won't have specific factual reasons, only vague generalizations. Betcha.

Holy shit!

"Biden is a sure loss, he literally cannot win"

Since you have your crystal ball handy, can you let us know next week's winning lottery numbers?

"perceived foreign policy goals" "how she ran the bay area" "bad public image" "subpar debate record"

So basically you don't have specifics but just gross generalizations. So far that's all anyone has come up with and it just gets repeated as though somehow saying it with more words makes it more than "because reasons". It doesn't.

How about some context and maybe even a few specifics?

Harris on Israel: She's criticized Israel and made it clear Israel's behavior would not be without consequences. Example.

"ran the bay area": Honestly this is just kind of nonsense. Did you mean her reputation around drug crimes? What about all the other stuff like the Back on Track initiative? She helped pass legislation banning the gay panic defense. And efforts to change state policies around transgender medical treatment for prisoners (this is nuanced because she argued in line with the law but didn't agree and worked to change it). Harris pushed hard agains the family separation policy under Trump, and was the first to demand Nielsen's resignation. Just a tiny random sample of achievements, which are a lot more than you might think.

"bad public image": What does this even mean given that the same could be argued for Trump and Biden? Or the "bad public image" of politicians in general? I'd argue that a lot of this "bad public image" has to do with people like you generalizing in vague ways and, to be blunt, remaining ignorant of the facts.

subpar debate record: What, like one? I know other people who flubbed debates. Obama, for example. It happens and while you could sort of argue that degrades her electability slightly you cannot argue that it points to an inability to be president.

My entire point here is that there is a LOT more to Harris than vague half-remembered generalizations that too often seem to be all people put forward. It's really worth looking at her record in more detail. Wikipedia actually has a pretty good rundown. And of course On The Issues has the usual handy summary.

Yes but WHAT REASONS SPECIFICALLY?

Y'all so far are just repeating the same thing assuming nobody will notice that "reasons" is so far only one "reason" and not a great one at that. Somebody remind me the name of this cognitive error....

Wow, you were around 80 years ago? Very impressive!

I'm kind of more inclined to blame Trump and the GOP, but you are not wrong...

... but the concerns I’ve seen raised most often are:

Concern, singular. It's the same issue over and over again, and especially in Harris' case... I mean both Clintons were once opposed to gay marriage, which is a real deal breaker for me. I didn't hold that one single issue against Hillary, I looked at the totality of her neo-liberal/con background before deciding I couldn't support her.

And... Joe Biden and just about every other congress critter has a terrible history of police support too. You know what? That's the price they pay for getting votes. I don't agree with it, I think it stinks as much as pigs in general, but it's a price I'm willing to accept to get everything else and not get a Republican administration.

I'm looking for reasons that make Harris unelectable. TBH, her background throwing people in jail for minor drug offenses ups her appeal with a lot of voters.

Harris cannot win, Harris will not win this election. If she is the nominated candidate all it leads to is Republican bullshit and a win.

"Because reasons"

Ah, so you sorta tried to answer this question. But it boils down to "because things", mainly. Or rather ONE thing exactly. I'd bet that is the sum total of your actual knowledge of Harris' history.

Like take this sentence: "Socially, I think Harris leads to some Republican bullshit scheme."

What? What does that actually mean?

Gods I cannot wait for her to lose, she’s a POS through and through

I find that in general when people say shit like this, without elaborating, they generally don't have a solid idea why they think that. Is that the case for you or do you have actual reasons for saying this?

Losing implies that something happened. Like in a race a contestant is visibly ahead, or in gambling you have more chips than someone else or your money is all gone.

In my experience pretty much all IP cameras phone home in some way at some point, so yeah, you are best off putting them on a separate VLAN and routing appropriately.

The only brand I've had a good experience with is Reolink. I don't think the quality is appreciably different than a brand like Hikvision and the firmware and support is vastly superior.

Edit: Some good info on using Reolink cameras with Frigate. I use Blue Iris but would vastly prefer OSS.

Both are true. And they want the data privatized so only they can profit from it.

I was glossing over the details. To clarify - and I think you mean this - they want the free data from NWS but they don't want that same data to be publicly available. Except that's not generally how federal government data works - by law in most cases it has to be made public. But that's kind of irrelevant in the context of "disband the NWS" at least in the sense that Accuweather very much wants the free ride to continue or failing that to get handed all the NWS resources, which isn't gonna fly not least because other providers would strongly object. IOW, this is all kind of DOA.

Is he gonna wear that bandage until November?

Accuweather doesn't compete with NWS, they rely on it's data.

It amazes me that people do not seem to know this, so it bears repeating strenuously.

Without NWS there is effectively no weather data. Oh sure, you have Wunderground's handful of private weather stations with their dodgy uncalibrated data. But anything high quality and worth using in forecasting models comes from the gubmint.

No weather data means agriculture is seriously fucked. Aviation is even more fucked. Shipping is fucked. The electricity grid is fucked. Construction, mining, sports... the list of industries that depend on accurate data and forecasting is massive.

No.
