Me too. They had an old address I lived at five years ago. I’m shaking, I’m shaking.

For when you want to defend your country and discover new exoplanets at the same time

Check with Intel, not whoever you bought the chip from. They extended the warranty and will replace bad chips. For most models I believe it was extended from 1 to 3 years.

Ah, of course. Noted and fixed.

Reminds me of that MF DOOM song:

“Sit in the court and be their own star witness. / ‘Do you see the perpetrator?’ / ‘Yeah, I’m right here.’”

I bet at first it seems like multiple consultancies, but the more they investigate, the more they realize it’s just minor variations on one consultancy copy-pasted around the map, and at a certain point, investigating each one just feels same-y and boring.

I’d take either one, but both is just a great deal

The purpose of the ED is to make sure you’re not actively dying and then refer you to a specialist who books three months out.

There is a huge gap in American medicine between the ED and the doctor’s office. You might spend weeks or months in severe pain or discomfort waiting to be seen by someone who can treat you. The ED docs are just there to stabilize you and send you on your way.

I’m just barely old enough to recall when Sir Mixalot alleged that Jane Fonda does not have a motor in the back of her Honda. I agree that she is not likely to make strong inroads with Gen Z.

The Israel/Palestine conflict and its ancillary conflicts like Israel/Hezbollah are not about religion. They are about the explusion of indigenous peoples from Palestine who have now lived as refugees in occupied territories or camps in bordering countries for four generations.

The idea that this is some age-old religious conflict is not historically accurate. These conflicts all trace back to the colonization of Palestine and the expulsion of half its population in the mid-20th century.

Republican House

They could have instead done things to actually help fix our country

Hahahahahahaha wheeze hahahahahaha

Alito is a rancid cyst on American democracy. Jail me, clown.

It was hard for Republicans to compete with The Onion’s devastating exposé alleging that Walz’ “aw, shucks” persona is merely a facade concealing his true “gee whiz” tendencies.

His “charisma” only appeals to a certain subset of Americans. Sure, he has fanatical support in much of the Republican base, but he has low overall favorability ratings and turns off a lot of moderate voters.

I am actually glad it’s Trump and not another Republican who’s on the ticket. I think he’s easier to beat. I am more scared of what happens when smoother, more coherent Republicans begin campaigning on the same platform without the chaos and cringe of Trump.

The states she needs are all on a knife’s edge. She’s polling slightly better after the debate but things could easily revert over the next seven weeks. This election will be decided by turnout. I get frustrated with these articles proclaiming she’s ahead in a single poll with a result that’s inside the margin of error. Harris needs to beat both Trump and complacency.

If you can do a good thing for women’s rights and simultaneously piss off terrible people, well, that’s just a win-win situation.

Superbly written article. The author distills the conflict very accurately.

Yeah, if you asked Trump supporters to find Haiti on a map, I’m guessing a single-digit percentage is getting it right. Their prejudice towards immigrants is not some calculated, historically-informed position. It’s a basal fear of the other.

Now known as “And Then There Were None.”

10 Little Indians was actually the second title for the book. The first one was worse.

Great mystery though.

It’s a great way to replace competent human workers with a lower-cost, lower-quality alternative. Wall Street may buy that anti-worker BS but workers tell a different story.

Literally an article in Forbes today that says 77% of employees report that AI tools make them less productive: https://www.forbes.com/sites/torconstantino/2024/09/12/77-of-surveyed-employees-say-ai-tools-make-them-less-productive/
