I still find that insane.

“Russia has been attacking us for 2 years. We’re going to attack back.” “No, don’t do that. That will escalate things.” “Oh cool, I guess we’ll just keep taking it.”

Looks like that storm is going to fuck up that coast

Never responded. I didend up buying a keychron. They didn’t have the blues in stock, so I bought one with browns and ordered blue switches. They also were out of the model that had Wi-Fi, but I figured Bluetooth is fine. Turns out, I love the brown switches. Also, I realized my rig is so old and randomly upgraded that I don’t even have Bluetooth.

Anyway, it’s the best keyboard I’ve ever owned. Works great with my various laptops. I now enjoy typing. Many thanks for the recommendation.

“Are you don’t yet? Why aren’t you done yet? Help me update infinite plans that will be outdated in a week. Also, I just promised a bunch of stuff… all that stuff we already promised, I think you can do that faster.”

When I was a dev, I once had a PM with no technical skills that decided he would “learn to program to help catch us up”… He did not succeed.

The argument is that corporations do what they want, often not because we want to buy their stuff, but because:

• we don’t have a choice
• they hide what they’re doing through propaganda, lies, obfuscation, etc. so we don’t know about it
• powerful lobbying

Here’s some examples:

• Cigarette companies spent decades convincing people their product was harmless and Even good for you. The oil industry has been covering up climate change the same way.
• Trains are rarely an option in the US, because of subsidies to planes, roads, etc. Car companies pushed hard to actually remove public transportation.
• Don’t like your ISP? Too bad, you probably don’t have another choice
• Look at the PG&E story and how they contaminated drinking water, then just lied about it while people died. You don’t really have a choice about who supplies electricity to your city.

Yes, you could choose to live off of the grid and walk everywhere and grow your own crops, but that’s hardly a choice. And it doesn’t have to be that way. Shitty people at the top of these companies make ungodly money by screwing everyone else over anyway they can, regardless of the cost to humanity. That is the point.

The crazy thing is that you don’t need to cherry pick quotes or take them out of context to make him look like an idiot.

Listen to pretty much any interview or speech and he says something that is clearly idiotic, evil, or a blatant lie. Most likely all three… Repeatedly.

I get that Fox News is a hell of a drug, but just hearing this dipshit speak should shatter the illusion. The unwavering support is mind boggling.

Thanks for the great write up. I’ll take a look at these. I’ve read a few reviews about keychrons having defective keys, etc. Any issues there?

That’s where I was leaning towards, but I haven’t ever used one.

Creepy. And I learned something. Reminds me of another comic strip that cracked me up. The gist:

God said to the insects “you may each pick three traits.” The millipede said, “I want legs!” The centipede agreed. God nodded. “And for your second trait?” The millipede smiled brightly and said “More legs!” The centipede request the same. God asked for their final request. “More legs!” The millipede shouted smiling even brighter The centipede gave a sinister grin and growled. “Teeth.”

While I wish we had a candidate that wasn’t 80. I’ve actually been pleasantly surprised by Biden’s administration.

And yes, the risk on this one is too great for third party. I genuinely do not believe that democracy will survive another term with the orange turd. He’s already tried to overthrow our government once. He has made it clear that he plans to succeed through force if reelected.

Ouch. That’s not acceptable for a flagship phone.

Checked a few different light sources halogen, incandso, led. All the same.

Love that your gut knows enough about sensors to make a judgement call.

Good suggestion, but I installed Open Camera and at exactly 5x zoom the same thing happens.

I like the camera app though …

This is a possibility. White fur everywhere.

Her face isn’t they boxy and she’s only like fifty pounds, but good guess.

What kind of dog is this? I’m trying to figure out what breed my dog is. She is equally derpy, and looks almost identical.
