I JUST saw another article that said his approval ratings were fairly steady and line up with about what they were the first time around.

Statistics and numbers can be made to say damn near anythin.

The judge’s order prevents federal agents from arresting peaceful protesters.

I want whatever the judge is smoking if they think this will stop them.

Because politicians like John Fetterman exist and people are paranoid that Mamdani will turn out like him. In other words now that he is in pull the ladder up behind him.

All of the bad parts of esim are the fault of the carriers in my experience. I’m on a MVNO that created their own method of generating a new esim and moving the number via their website and app and it is painless for the most part.

They only let you do it 4 times a billing cycle though without talking to customer service. Which I suspect is the fault of the upstream carrier somehow.

Having more money than you could spend in your lifetime buys you options not available to most people, news at 11.

Plex has been off limits to me for along time. Just the fact they want to require auth with their central service for something I use for reasons rights holders would love to sue me into third world poverty over (muh Linux ISOs) is enough reason.

Them demanding that auth hook into the server makes me uneasy about what sort of metatdata they are currently, or could exfiltrate later on, should they want to or be demanded to.

Whole thing stinks of willingly being part of a honeypot.

The biggest selling points of Windows these days is familiarity, backwards compatibility, and gaming.

And the only one of those not under active threat by someone is the backwards compatibility. Which means there is an active shelf life on the viability of Windows as a big money maker on the consumer desktop/laptop. And once it starts to falter in that market then the enterprise will start to follow.

Don’t worry once this bites them in the ass by exposing something they have said is bad they will get themselves an exception.

Meat ram making a comeback.

Assuming there are people in NY that would actually want to go to one of his shows, I would imagine the prospect of actual important parts of their lives getting better would outweigh the desire to watch Kid Rock sing the songs you can already hear on Spotify live.

Anecdotally at average viewing distances on my 55" TV I can’t really tell a difference. If I had an enormous TV maybe I would be able to tell. 1080 > 2160 is for sure not the leap 720 > 1080, or 480 > 720 was in the average environment that’s for sure.

Those little tin Burger King ones were peak.

I like AOC and agree with her on a lot. And I really would like to see how she would handle it. But as a straight white guy in his 40’s that honestly wants to see things get better for everyone I also dread the tidal wave of dog whistle reasons the GOP will bring out for why she is unfit.

I know that is the point, but the constant avalanche of ignorant talking points that hearken back to “the good ole days” when men were men, women were arm candy, and brown people shared a corner on the floor with the family dog in these peoples minds that they disguise as honest engagement with a legitimate issue in the country is starting to burn me out.

Could, but very unlikely they actually will.

Not many cops are going to go around arresting ICE agents for such things I don’t imagine.

The only reason Trump cares about the shutdown is because his people are telling him he will be blamed the worse it gets.

Yep, for these things to matter there has to be no end in sight until those that want the change get heard and taken seriously.

Bonus points if they are headed up by sympathetic and visible politicians and/or other public figures. A well spoken orator in the vein of MLK at a podium giving a loud united voice to these sorts of movements are what creates something non-violent that is really hard for those in power or those on the side lines that would otherwise support the movement to sweep it under the rug as a one off.

I like Dave’s channels and content. But God I hope he doesn’t start trying to wade into these sorts of debates with “hot takes”. Nothing positive will come of publicly taking a side on this issue on Twitter/Bluesky for him.

But clam jamming is what you wanted to do, so he was helping,lol.

Or his views on seemingly eating toe nails right off of his feet in public.

Are mosquitoes a concern in that part of the world? If so and they don’t have some nets hiding somewhere you are gonna have a bad time.
