Well, I'm from Utica and I've never heard anyone use the phrase 'steamed hams'.

If datacerters are forced on communities, they should be forced to provide free heating/access to those communities.

Hell, I'd be satisfied if they just paid their own way. Pay for the system upgrades for power and water, pay full rate for power and water consumption, pay for any other infrastructure upgrades needed and pay normal property tax on your multi-billion dollar facility.

It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
I agree. No matter what happens during the election it will be an absolute shit show.
Trump may do exactly what you describe but I think the people who are swing voters or were somehow to apathetic to vote in 2024 will see through that.
I'm more concerned about a false flag attack on civilians. I don't think it benefits Iran to attack us directly but I'm not sure most people would accept that it wasn't them if something happens. And with most (if not all) major news outlets under conservative control the narrative will be easier to manage.

Meta strikes deal with Zuckerberg to protect him from California wealth tax
Reply in thread
If Meta pays Zuck's wealth tax I hope they classify it as income and tax it more. If you or me are given a bonus from our jobs, it is taxed as income. I don't really see how this is different.

TIL Zuck is diluting META/FB’s stock and fleecing shareholders (401ks) to pay his personal California Tax Bill, subsidize hundreds of billions in lawsuit settlements/fines, and float the slop bubble.

...on unrealized gains...
I'll be willing to accept that they are unrealized gains once they can no longer used as collateral to secure loans or used to calculate wealth. Until then they have value and should be taxed either when given (which is different than bought) or as an annual wealth tax.

The anthrax made my whole arm hurt for a day for each of the six shots. Small pox also hurt but that involves getting jabbed a bunch of time in a little circle at the same time.

Science, yeah!
I like it when other people do science and then tell me about the exciting parts.

Voters want the next Congress to focus on costs and Iran, not on Trump, a new AP-NORC poll shows
Addressing Trump will not, by itseld, fix any problem but taking care of him is the first step in fixing any of them.

I was thinking more along the lines of someone who wants to be an open source developer but doesn't know how to do it so will just use AI to vibe code litterally the entire thing.

There isnt a pussy out there that you couldn't find someone to fuck. Big or small, hairy or waxed, clean or riddled with disease. Someone would fuck it.

Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 is crashing some games and apps, and promises to fix it in the next update

I think Bazzite has (had?) a good out of the box experience for most people and the integrated Nvidia drivers are great so you don't have to fiddle with them. I had a 3060 when I first switched to Fedora and had the tiniest bit of an issue with drivers. If I had been less technically inclined that could have been a deal breaker. Bazzite being immutable is also probably a plus for people scared of Linux since they don't have to worry about breaking it.

Maybe if we quit blowing them up every chance we get they wouldn't hate us as much. Think how much aid we could provide for the same amount of money we're spending to bomb them.

I'm not Catholic and don't really care who the Pope is but I know that MAGA doesn't like him. That makes me like him.

The Religious Right in the United States
If a human can choose how to interpret holy text however they want and there isn't an immediate response from a diety for interpreting them wrong, the texts must not really matter.

I dont like MAGA on MAGA violence and would like it to stop but if it must continue can they at least accept that is what it is? I'm tired of the blame that everyone non-MAGA gets before the MAGA shooter inevitably gets caught.
