The Democratic Party is a big tent party. There isn't often a plan, because the party membership has many different opinions on every subject.

Satan did lead an uprising with a third of the heavenly host. Satan must be pretty convening.

Or you know, Demiurge is a dick.

It has been said that for the outlying regions of the Roman Empire, the collapse only meant that when the unused bridge fell down, no one came to fix it. (Undoubtedly I have garbled it.)

It has also been said "We are a long way from Beijing", which means the central government is a long way away and don't know what we are doing and impact our lives little.

Some things will really suck. They will suck far more than I can imagine. We will still have local police and hospitals. Medical care will get worse. There may be less food in the non-agriculture states, but that will be fixed with trade or war.

Lots of people will die. Likely you and I will die.

Some states will link up to make their own countries. Canada may invite some states to join. Same with Mexico (New Mexico maybe...)

Very much a "things I do not control".

Every groups have a "testing". Some also have a "production".

Looking into it, it seems that perhaps it was not notable until recently. This is likely a limitation of my searches and popular understanding. Does anyone know of ancient Greek writing on the subject? (Perhaps I am too quick to discount the trained memorization of bards and storytellers of old, which I understand typically used memorization and not Total Recall?)

Funes the Memorious was written long after the camera was invented.

The Wikipedia pages on Eidetic Memory and Hyperthymesia cover different aspects, but neither cites anything older than "Funes the Memorious". "Total Recall" is also used for the ability, but also does not appear to have a long history.

No. Transporter Chefs tend to be obsessed with filter performance and TTL (Time To Live). They keep turning off all of the "unneeded" filters. If a filter hasn't caught an issue in the last 100 transfers, it is removed (not commented out, they use "git" to catch those issues.) Eventually issues happen, but that is why they have defense in depth and so many red shirts.

Given how few "christens" are Christian, she only needs to state once that she is christian. She needs to make no actual changes, attend church, read the bible, nor pray. Heaven forbid she do something like feed the hungry, help the needy, or give her wealth to improve lives for her fellow humans.

Those that voted for this will never understand the pecking order. They will always think it is enough that they are not on the bottom, even if they are also drowning.

Right.

Remember this in the future. We have the money to provide free healthcare to all Americans and a UBI.

We choose not to.

Teslas are now asking minors for nudes.

Fuck

77,302,580 people is not half of America. It is 49.8% of the folks that bothered to vote.

More usefully,

In the 2024 presidential election, 73.6% (or 174 million people) of the citizen voting-age population was registered to vote and 65.3% (or 154 million people) voted according to new voting and registration tables released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.

The lines are long. The food is expensive. Everyone in the group wants to eat something different. The food taste is a gamble. There are few places to eat.

Does everyone stick together and wait in all of the lines? Split up and meet at some location? Eat on the way to the festival and just hang out?

 

I keep getting a red banner saying “Toastify is awesome” when updating. What does it mean, and what should I do differently?

I don't like subscribing to nonphysical things. I can read a physical paper a month after it arrived. Digital is faster, but I tend to lose it before I have read it.

I need a recipient in my pocket. Too often my virtual thing is lost, my device fails, or things reboot and I don't have my secure 24 digit password with me.

I won't subscribe to a digital only anything. Physical and digital is nice.

Edit: They don't even have to be identical. A digital daily with a monthly print would be nice.

 

Hello friends. Work email is crushing me. The ticketing systems, plural, email me on everyone's tucket. (Because some people only work tickets via email and others through the web interface.)

Are there any email clients or servers that allow new email to land somewhere other than the inbox? Or allow my view to start elsewhere?

I declare email bankruptcy daily....

Send whiskey.

Edit: I was unclear.

I have filtering, but those all happen after the mail is in the Inbox. I get a quarter second of crazy emails and previews and things moving, then they are gone. (Outlook sucks.)

I don't even want to see that shit. Not at all.

 

"I don't know if you saw this study the other day, but what this study clearly shows, is when people have the ability to come downtown to an office and don't, when they stay home, sitting on their couch with their nasty cat blanket diddling on their laptop ... if they do that for a few months, you become a loser! It's a study. We're not losers, are we?"

 

There is evidence that standing is better for the human body than sitting. For work we have standing desks for computer work and such. Some aim to stand 8+ hours a day.

What about for other activities? How do the unemployed, retired, and homemarkers get in enough standing? Are there good ways to stand while reading a book, or sipping a coffee and enjoying the dawn?

 

On Tuesday, Jan. 2, a federal appeals court declined to rehear the case of Berkeley’s ban on new natural gas hookups, which was struck down by a panel of judges in April 2023.

 

There are a lot of news articles about "back to the office", but they recirculate the same bad ideas. Let's provide some new ideas for the media to circulate. It may also have the effect of making the office less terrible.

I would like my work computer to do Windows updates lightning quick in the office. It currently takes weeks, in or out of the office. Stopping in for a day makes no difference, so there is no point. Now, if there was a point, I would go in.

What would get you in the office?
