Thanks, that was a good analysis.

Is her middle name "fucking"? I thought it was "asset".
The popular vote has some weight. Not enough to award Presidency, but it can be used in arguments for eliminating the electoral college, implement RCV, and other improvements. Narrowing the popular vote gap makes it harder to make these arguments.
Weight loss.
Both pretty names! I'm particularly fond of "Genevieve."
I suspect there are several names no longer common in the US that are more common in other countries. I think "Genevieve" is still fairly common in France, and it's making a comeback in the states! You're doing your part!
I agree with you, but kinda don't?
The important thing is to engender a culture of engagement, and a big factor of that is getting people to the polls. Yes, I think voting for Trump is a vote to end Democracy in the US, but I think we should separate the messages. There are two distinct ones:
- It is important that you vote.
- It is important that you vote for Kamala.
Point 1 is the more enduring one; point 2, this election, ensures we continue to have point 1. But I don't believe we need to stop reinforcing the first point, especially because if 100% of the US voted, Kamala would win handily. That's why Republicans are so keen on voter suppression. People, in general, will be more receptive to message 1.
Taste?
I loved it; it's in my "classics" list. But I loathe Game of Thrones - both the novels and the TV series, and those were wildly popular with a lot of people.
It's just personal taste; I'm not sure there's an explanation.
This has been a thing in Japan for a while.
But $700 per what? Month? That's insanely high everywhere but SF. You can't get an in-city anything for $700/m.
Your use case is obviously different, but I've gone years between system upgrades. I mostly do OSS coding, or work stuff; not gaming. The only case I can imagine needing to upgrade my little Ryzen with 16 cores - a laptop CPU - is if it becomes absolutely imperative that I run AI models on my desktop. Or if Rust really does become pervasive; compiling Rust programs is almost as bad as compiling Haskell, and will take over my computer for minutes at a time.
When I got this little micro, the first thing I did was upgrade it to 64GB of RAM, because that's the one thing I think you can never have too much of; especially with the modern web and all the shit that brings with it; Electron apps, and so on, absolutely chew up memory. The one good thing about the Rust trend is better memory use, so the crappy compile times are somewhat forgiveable.
Create an account there. Dip your toe in. It's worth seeing, just to know; like seeing what's going on in Truth Social.
I do however have to think of my wife who loves the oracle because it is zero hassle for her.
Oh, yeah. The a Leva of not a good option. It's not quite as manual as pulling shots fully manually - the lever has a big spring that controls the actual pressure, but you have to charge the lever, and the common complaint in reviews on RoastMaster (back in the day) was that it requires upper body strength, and many women found it hard to work.
There's nothing automatic about it.
I also thought about just getting the grinder first as then if she feels confident to do her grind and tamp herself it’s fine but if not she can continue to use the standard grinder.
Have you considered the DF54? It's getting quite good reviews, and the price is reasonable.
Like most things, there's a sliding scale. I block two instances (in my client) because of the high noise-to-signal ratio, and a few individuals who I find particularly obnoxious. I've never blocked anyone who I thought was trying to have a good-faith argument with me, regardless of their position. But I also don't feel obligated to stand and listen to the MAGA dipshit shouting obscenities at minorities, either. Is it an echo chamber? No more than me not watching Fox "News".
Although, Lemmy leans strongly left, and the instances are tankie ones; there isn't a lot of right-leaning posting IME. I think this is a particularly difficult time for reasonable conservatives because of how their party has been co-opted by fascists. The instances I'm on doesn't do a lot of defederating, but I know just by virtue of being on Lemmy, I'm getting a left bias.
