Wrong. Her stock trades were entirely legal since insider trading isn't illegal for Congress members.

Mostly they're having a disagreement about whether this is the right time to reveal that they hate Jews.

I think it can be repaired but it would require an actual human being as a leader. I dont know if you have that over there in politics.

You have plenty in politics. Special interests (mainly but not exclusively the rich) have seen to it that the American electorate would never make any of them president. Billionaires don't buy news and media outlets because they love honest journalism.

A good low (basically zero) risk way to start is to flash an image of say Ubuntu onto a flash drive. They're usually bootable. So you can boot into Linux right off the flash drive.

This obvious takes a performance hit compared to actually installing it, but it'll let you confirm that it actually works on your hardware.

Apparently when Satya Nadella took over, Steve Ballmer told him "don't screw up". In terms of stock price and profits, he absolutely hasn't. In terms of producing products that consumers might actually want to pay for, he has failed completely and Microsoft has never been in a worse position. But those two things are completely disconnected now so it's fine.

Why have windows calculator when you can have windows calculator with AI guess what you want to calculate, get it wrong, spy on you, and use that spying to serve you targetted ads all at the same time? #innovation

None of this matters when 2/3rds of potential voters either support this or don't care.

A third your countries voters support this. Another third don't care. Under those circumstances, the last third don't matter.

I think that the reality of the situation is breaking through the Trump Delusion Syndrome a lot of these die-hards had and they are starting to see what really is going on and they're pissed and silently fuming about it now.

The fundamental problem with this logic is that anyone dumb enough to have fallen for this in the first place (and to vote for Trump again in 2024) is more than dumb enough to fall victim to all the nonsense of the next election. There's no way this momentary glimmer of rationality will survive an election campaign, and the utterly broken epistemology of these people is no closer to being fixed.

Have ATC employees actually decided to stop showing up this week?

Usually quantum physics serves as a crank magnet for all kinds of generally leftist kookery, but Jan seems to want to reject it outright for similar reasons that you talk about above with irrational numbers.

I know this isn't your point, but the non-political way to express a similar rejection of quantum theory was literally just Einstein saying "god does not play dice", which he famously retracted.

I mean okay sure but Trump was doing that fine by himself and this guy's entire job is to cheerlead for whatever deranged nonsense Trump does after finding out about it in the news. So he can be safely ignored.
