I presume the GOP will just appoint people to represent you. Don't worry, it'll be totally in your best interests, as decided by the rich people running the party.

Do you like being owned as farm equipment? Because that's what you get when right wingers take over.

The hours saved are likely calculated with Copilot. Just more Microslop.

... And then there's Hawaii.

Not Romania and Chad?

Maybe Ireland and Ivory Coast?

"Accidentally" my ass. In his life, few photos will be better remembered than this one.

Having taught a computer science course on Operating Systems it's even tough to teach a room full of CS undergrads what one is.

Not well. Had some family hurdles crop up so the focus has been elsewhere. The scale of work is also reaching a fever pitch so I mostly just push that through instead of learning German.

I have noticed my ear is getting better. I'm more able to pick out words when people are talking and if they slow down a bit I'm usually able to track many pieces of conversations.

My tracking on train announcements is getting downright routine. Unless the speaker is really busted I can usually get it now. Too much time in train stations, I guess.

The GOP lives to bomb people and destroy the hard earned soft power the US had accumulated. They're just fragile, fearful people with unearned power being the HOA Karens of the world.

I definitely agree. I have the luxury of coming from an Electrical Engineering / Computer Engineering background. I did microcontroller programming, designed ALUs, and transistor level work before moving into CS.

Nothing helps you understand a computer better then working with a small microcontroller and building up from there.

Tactics win battles. Logistics wins wars.

The important piece of this to me is this: She made $1 mil on OnlyFans and $42k/year as a teacher. She wants to be a teacher despite making plenty of money from other sources. This tells me that unless you have other evidence of impropriety she's someone we want in the classroom. It also reinforces my stance, along with plenty of other studies that have been performed, that a universal basic income won't stop people from working.

Pay people better and we'll just keep working because we like it. It's part of being human, but we shouldn't be suffering to survive at the same time.

The prior president pardoned a family member who was blackmailing and raping people, then appointed the same criminal to be ambassador to France. I don't give a fuck what President Biden does now. We're a country of criminals and oligarchs now.

According to the US Supreme Court, a US president cannot be prosecuted for crimes (if they're related to their official duties, but whatever goes, I guess). This means that Canada is faced with the fact that they're being attacked by a foreign power with a ruler not beholden to the rule of law. If they give in, they're going to be conquered by a king who is not bound by a national constitution, legislative body, nor courts. This is an existential threat to their freedom as individuals with rights.

"American Nazi Party Leader Condemns Foreign Government for Classifying Nazis as Nazis"

STD's aren't diagnosed (mostly) just by looking at people. That's exactly why they're so tough to eradicate.

Wear protection and protect yourself. You did just fine here. If he is unwilling to be up to your safety needs, then he's not worth keeping around.

"It turns out not burning a bunch of fossil fuels leads to less pollution"... news at 11.

The really dumb part of all of this is that people have just accepted cars as the default mode of transportation for so long that it's hard to even envision a world without them. They're normal, despite being expensive, dangerous, horribly inefficient, killing people actively (crashes) and passively (air pollution, plastic in our lungs, parkinsons/dementia, obesity, and more), and directly contributing to isolation in our communities. Every car we can get off the road, especially in our cities, makes the world a better place.

Georgia apparently would rather put 10 year olds into debt than feed children. It's the best they can do as Christians.

I love the ticket systems in places like Berlin, Helsinki, Heidelberg, and Tampere. They don't use turnstiles at all, just occasional onboard ticket checkers.

It's so much faster for large groups of people to move through the stations so it keeps people moving instead of piling up at a ticket machine, even ones as fast as those in London.

You don't need officers standing guard at turnstiles, just extra onboard sweeps to keep most people honest.

Even better is a whole free system like some cities are going to. LA is having a freeway widening project happening. If the money for that went to their public transit system, they could make it fare free for 20 years at the same price point as "just one more lane, bro" of freeway that will still be a parking lot anyway.

Oh, what's that? The Dems caved for promises that the proven liars wouldn't end up keeping? Bravo to everyone and enjoy your new insurance premiums, peasants.

Strange that once you start having ways to make people identify themselves the government would expand it's use! Who would have foreseen that?
