Democrats Are Pissed Another One of Their Own Has Died in Congress
Maybe they should stop platforming these geriatric fucks and make space for the next generation then.

SpaceX satellites half the size of pickup trucks are falling from the sky
How does half a pickup truck compare to a large boulder the size of a small boulder?

Almost anyone [with the funding] can run for office
FTFY. I'm not independently wealthy and can't afford to quit my job and campaign for office, even locally. Nor am I interested in selling myself out to corporate interests to get the funding I would need.
It's easy to be holier-than-thou behind a keyboard, though. Why don't you run for office?
Edit: lmao, the keyboard warrior seems to have blocked me

Notepad++ Creator Don Ho Calls Out "Fake" MacOS App Over Trademark Violation
Reply in thread
GIMP never called itself Photoshop. The problem here is this clone is using the trademarked name and lying about official association with Ho, not that it has similar functionality to Notepad++.
Also, Blender predates Maya by at least a couple years, so not sure what you're going on about there.

The layer lines switched from horizontal to vertical?
It's only a layer line if it's parallel to the bed, otherwise it's just sparkling print artefacts.

Honestly impressive how pharmacies are able to find a new type of problem every time I go to pick up my meds
I have found that going to literally any other pharmacy besides walgreens or cvs is a significant improvement in competence and convenience.

Which computer-related belief do you hold without any foundation?

I think it has more to do with expanded computing resources allowing for devs to skip optimizing their code since it is no longer absolutely necessary to get something useable.

If someone legally changed their last name to a last name a soap opera character has, how would you feel?
I don't see how someone else changing their last name has any appreciable effect on my life. If it makes them happy, I guess I'd be happy for them?

10 years old laptop - is it time to retire?
8gb of ram shouldn't necessarily be an issue in and of itself, although it's on the low end these days. The memory is also old enough that it may just be failing.
Some searching suggests you could use something like Memtest86 to run diagnostics on the memory.
If it isn't a hardware issue, you might have luck trying a Linux distro on it. Linux generally runs better on older machines than windows, and some distros are specifically designed to be lightweight and consume as few resources as possible.

How would you survive a zombie apocalypse?
Idk, not sure I really want to live in a post-apocalyptic world. Life is already hard enough as is.

He's mentioned in some videos that he lives in the Chicago area. It usually comes up when talking about electrical work in his home, since building code in Chicagoland generally requires all electrical runs in conduit.

Purchasing card. It's a special credit card that companies give to employees to make purchases when they cannot issue a purchase order or it is otherwise more convenient to use a credit card for a transaction.

I think that's actually how it works on the backend (someonr please correct me if I'm wrong!) but it's a bit more convenient since I don't have to plug in to a computer.

Looking for a cheap old n busted EV for a specific use. Suggestions?
(Assuming you are in the US since you used miles and $)
Availability, even of used vehicles, appears to be pretty limited in the sub-10k range.
It's important to note that EV range estimates in the US are often based on the EPA estimate for new vehicles, so the cells on older models will likely have degraded and thus the range will be lower than stated. Frequently charging above 80-90% and discharging below 10-20% are also bad for the longevity of the cells, so whatever you get should have enough cushion in the range to avoid that if possible.
I'd look at listings on craigslist and facebook marketplace. Aggregator sites like Car Gurus will also be useful here.

What band did you hear one song of, check the rest of their music, and find it was a one-off and none of their other music sounds like that?
Basically how I feel about Poppy.
She's done a few collabs that I really enjoy, like End of You with Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox and Amy Lee of Evanescence or Suffocate with Knocked Loose.
I don't think she's bad or anything, but I just don't really jibe with her work.
