And everyone who helped cover up his crimes and those of his accomplices.

Or better yet, we could punish them in real life instead of engaging in fantasy.

What a shitty, dishonest retort. The entire goal is to be allowed to talk about it so he can organize and gain allies so there's a chance to win, but you're just telling him to pointlessly suicide-by-cop.

It's not at all strategically comparable and it's dishonest rhetoric and it's cyberbullying. That's the kind of shit that ought to be banned!

IIRC Hogg wanted to primary old incumbents with younger ones, but not necessarily with more progressive ones. It was more of a credibility (and possibly anti-corruption) thing than an ideology thing.

Don't forget South Sudan.

If I could easily emigrate to a country that didn't suck, I would.

Did he, though? Trump appointees are almost uniformly selected for their commitment to sabotage.

Having shared assets to maintain is legitimate, but the vast majority of HOAs (those governing single-family neighborhoods) don't really have that as an excuse. Even if they do have something to maintain, like a private street or a pool, it's only because the local government was shirking its responsibility to provide what should have been public infrastructure.

(And that's why they're so common: because low-density development is so ruinously unsustainable, governments heavily encourage developers to establish HOAs so that the time bomb of future maintenance is the homeowners' problem instead of bankrupting the city.)

You hired somebody to put a shutter back on? It's just a couple of screws!

HOAs are the direct result of racists trying to work around de-jure segregation being abolished, so yeah.

Huh. I just kinda assumed Norway would use the Euro, but TIL it's not even a member of the EU. Weird.

I've been using AMD (and ATi) for 20+ years. An Arc GPU is the first* Intel product I've actually been interested in and seriously considered getting, in all that time. I still ended up picking an AMD 9070 XT because there isn't an Arc card in that market segment, but maybe next time.

(* Other than a Chromebook I had to buy for college, which at the time didn't have any reasonable AMD options available.)

Is there ANYTHING that's going well for Intel?

Their Arc Battlemage discrete GPUs are a success, relatively speaking.

I'll use Dutch to clarify

I now blame AOL for more than I had previously considered.

Look up the phrase "eternal September."

2000 was better, though.

Those things are still top quality, for retrogamers looking for authenticity in how the pixel art in their old games gets rendered. High-quality CRTs need to be found a good home, not discarded.

Flash was also cancer that ruined web pages.

The reason Java Web Start wasn't, was specifically because once you clicked on the link, it downloaded the app and started it as a real desktop application, with its own window and taskbar entry and whatnot. It didn't rely on being embedded in HTML (I'm specifically not talking about Java applets, BTW -- they sucked too) or manipulating the DOM for its UI; it could use Swing and have the same look and feel as a native application.

What was that phrase, again? Oh yeah: "VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO."

So what? That doesn't mean it would've worked.
