As an Oregon voter, tough shit. We voted with a 68% majority to amend the state constitution, with explicit penalties for legislative absenteeism.

The chilling impact they are feeling is the will of the people bitch slapping their defunct political strategy.

Previous administrations have used special government funds that are dedicated to the transition and inauguration. This comes with obvious restrictions and ethics requirements since it is taxpayer money.

Trump has decided to not use this money and get donations instead, which allows him and his incoming administration to skirt the normal mandatory reporting, disclosures, and rules.

A live stream with tens of thousands of simultaneous viewers is, almost by definition, a scheduled DDOS. Even Apple struggled for years to get it right for their WWDC Keynote events back when they were live.

Yeah… this feels right. He seems to have checked out because the real campaign starts once he has lost. They’d rather use their dollars shielding him from further judicial consequence and preparing to set the country on fire once he loses.

People who identify with bullies

That’s not how you write off a corporate jet from your taxes.

Can we get another admin to sign off on this being authentic? In other words, short of a signed GPG signature how do we trust announcements after a breach where admin accounts are compromised?

Fundamentals: Intel powers the US military industrial complex, they’ll weather this storm.

You must work in communications for Trump’s White House.

Happened to my grand parents’ church in the 90s. They had this big disagreement over rocks (not joking) and then the infighting tore the church apart. Half of the group left and built their own building across the street and the other half stayed. Neither church ever really recovered from that.

Using your own WiFi router also bypasses the wireless security settings to access the school network.

Some resources are only available while on the network (printers, access to library, academic papers, other student hardware). Now imagine a random person in a coffee shop next door had u limited access to these resources via an unmanaged access point.

Everybody in this thread needs to read Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.

You seem to be missing the point, the Nintendo Switch is handily the most popular game console in US gaming history. It has officially sold more units than the PS2.

I’m sorry that you don’t appreciate the switch, it’s an amazing general purpose gaming console.

So, China

Pretty sure ants are already sentient, but I like it.

Edit: apparently ant sentience is somewhat hotly debated, and the current understanding of ant consciousness and metacognition is murky.

It’s a fantastic format from a docuseries on David Beckham.

On October 4th, the documentary series BECKHAM about the life and career of the British football player David Beckham premiered on Netflix. During an interview with Beckham's wife Victoria, "Posh Spice" of the Spice Girls band, Victoria tells the interviewer that both she and her husband came from working-class families, with David interrupting and telling her to be honest, with Victoria reluctantly admitting that her father had a Rolls-Royce:

- [Victoria] We both come from families that worked really hard. Both of our parents work really hard. We're very working, working class.
- [David] Be honest.
- [V] I am being honest!
- [D] Be honest.
- [V] I am being honest!
- [D] What car did your dad drive you to school in?
- [V] So, my dad did-
- [D] No. One answer. What car was it?
- [V] It's not a simple answer because-
- [D] What car did your dad drive you to school in?
- [V] It depends…
- [D] No, no, no, no, no.
- [V] Okay, In the 80s, my dad had a Rolls-Royce.
- [D] Thank you.

Oregon has entirely mail-in voting, since the 1990s. Good luck getting us to give it up.
