A quick tip to remember which countries are majority Shiite is that the two I’s in Shiite are Iraq and Iran and then you just have to remember Azerbaijan and Bahrain because this is a shitty quick tip.

I know this is a controversial opinion but it would be nice if we stopped letting paranoid insane people be judges.

You can have your views on firearms that differ from mine but he wrote a 168 page opinion. That’s an insane person.

Wrong prophesy, dipshits. He’s not King Cyrus. He’s just a senile pervert and you, Trump voter, are the reason we’re not able to address global warming or even people pissing everywhere in public bathrooms.

Good thing he’s pathetic and no one respects him except catturd2 and 7 year-olds who think he makes the spaceships.

You might not be scared but you don’t own a Golden Corral buffet. The damage they can do on the chocolate fountain alone will set you back thousands of dollars.

I’ve never had to wait long in New Orleans or DC except for odd circumstances but those places essentially have predetermined elections.

  • During the pandemic in New Orleans, they made the Smoothie King Center the main early voting location. That took a couple of hours but in normal years, I vote at a fire department and it just takes a few minutes.

  • In 2008 in DC, I lived near the White House and my polling place was an historic AME church that was a spot on the Underground Railroad. Every global news channel with staff in DC — so all of them — was trying to interview people. So, I’m not sure that was the voting system’s fault so much as global media asking everyone for a sound bite. (I got interviewed by Japan’s NHK but I didn’t make the cut. If I want to get on Japanese TV, I guess I’ll have to go on a game show.)

But I’ve never lived in a competitive state or district. DC doesn’t have real representation in Congress and Louisiana’s 2nd district is drawn for Voting Rights Act compliance reasons so it’s also not typically competitive. (Louisiana also elects state/local officials in non-presidential years so it’s rarely got much on the ballot besides President and maybe an amendment or two. This year, we voted on whether offshore wind farms would participate in the coastal wetlands restoration program like offshore oil rigs.)

The good news is that if Elon says a Republican will win today, we have at least 5-10 years until the next Republican President is in beta and will burst into flames after mistaking an elementary school crossing guard for a 2001 Buick LeSabre and driving into a wall.

Why do they need half that data for a derivative of a distro? Fuck off. I don’t care if someone collects the model number of my GPU or whatever but that sounds like personally identifiable tracking data, not basic “telemetry” data to set development priorities or whatever.

China should be ashamed. America would never steal rocket technology from fascists.

They couldn’t get Zoltar to de-age him like in Big? Why use A.I. to do something we could already do in 1988 for 25¢?

Omaha, you say? LSU is gonna dominate.

Oh, definitely. Even beyond age, cardio, strength, etc. imagine how much she hates him after all the death threats to her and her family. She’d even have the pure cussedness advantage. I could see a full blown Waffle House 3am level ass whooping coming his way.

 

I had to test/fix something at work and I set up a Windows VM because it was a bug specific to Windows users. Once I was done, I thought, “Maybe I should keep this VM for something.” but I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t a game (which probably wouldn’t work well in a VM anyway) or some super specific enterprise software I don’t really use.

I also am more familiar with the Apple ecosystem than the Microsoft one so maybe I’m just oblivious to what’s out there. Does anyone out there dual boot or use a VM for a non-game, non-niche industry Windows exclusive program?

 

I’ve never worked with major enterprise or government systems where there’s aging mainframes — the type that get parodied for running COBOL. So, I’m completely ignorant, although fascinated. Are they power hogs? Are they wildly cheap to run? Are they even run as they were back in the day?

 

I found the least efficient way to get to the Linux CLI.

 

I ordered a Raspberry Pi 5 so I have a Pi 3 that’s about to be redundant. I haven’t used Pi-Hole so I was thinking it’d be good for that but I’m curious if there’s any downsides for users. Are sites blocked if you dont whitelist them? That sort of thing.

Basically, I’m not worried about me having issues but I’m worried about a maintenance headache if friends and family can’t access things.
