  • I mean, Canada might but given that I've of the issues is being in the crosshairs for annexation with "the largest land border" between us... how safe is it going to be?

    Trump's handing Ukraine and Europe to Russia while planning his own play from their book.

  • I hate to knock it as a product, but I compared a lot of the books I bought on Kindle and - unless I'm missing something - the selection on Kobo seems quite limited in comparison.

    It seems that Amazon is using Kindle Unlimited you lock authors into exclusivity. This reeks of monopoly abuse but of course nobody is going to do anything about that.

  • I've basically been hit by what seems to be 3-4 different viruses since December. The massive fever was the last one. A cold towel, acetaminophen, and taking in a ton of fluids finally broke that one for me and it suddenly switched from a baking dry overheat to the sweats at which point my temperature went down very quickly

  • Yeah I looked into the Kobo store and a LOT of the books I have - which are not exactly small titles - aren't available there.

    In some cases they've got the first couple books or audiobooks out of a series that currently has 10

  • Lidar, all the cameras/sensors, and the processing unit for all this definitely cost money.

    My car it cost $300 to replace a windshield. My wife's it cost over $1000 due to the optics/sensor unit behind the windshield

  • Yeah, even just kicking out these crazies isn't a good fix because they've already demonstrated they're more than willing to lie, cheat, and steal to hold on to or gain power.

    The only justice I'd trust would need to come at the end of a rope, and it'd need to include a LOT of colluders at the very least in cells as well. That includes certain media organizations that helped enable this shit-show as well.

    After all that, the American public needs to force better, including proper regulation and enforcement of public over corporate interests. While some of it has been astroturfing, the embedded cleptocracy and corporate interest in the Democratic party also needs to be fixed (or both parties turfed and new better choices), because "lesser evil" is not good enough.

    Other countries should also take heed from the US situation. This is what happens when you continually tolerate the intolerable, and when your government is owned by a billionaire+ untouchable aristocracy with a corporate shield protecting them from consequences.

  • Yeah that was kinda my thought. I'm pretty sure the other monkeys would beat the ever living F*** out of the hoarder-monkey.

    Even if he was the biggest, baddest monkey there a bunch of them would be smart enough to band together and reclaim food

  • Had this years ago except it was a dumbass contractor where I worked who left a Windows server with FTP services exposed to the Internet and IIRC anonymous FTP enabled, on a Friday.

    When I came in on Monday it had become a repository for warez, malware, and questionable porn. We wiped out rather than trying to recover anything.

  • The problem with incarcerating corrupt populists is that a sympathetic politician may vary well release them on the future. Korea has charged and imprisoned former leaders only to have subsequent ones free them.

  • Not even. There are even people in immigrant families that voted for him because "he's only going to deport the bad ones" and then [surprised Pikachu] a bunch of their own family get deported

    There's stupid, and there's zealotism, but stupid zealots are the worst
