I found a guy on linkedin that has the same name, just slot him in and pretend nothing happened, wouldn't even have to change any of the campaign marketing. Dude looks to be in his 20s and manages a coffee place, definitely more than qualified.
I admire your optimism, but even if you aren't willing to bend the rules and stick to the letter of the ethics rules, you can still use campaign funds for a fairly broad amount of items. And, if you are willing to bend the rules... when's the last time you heard of someone getting in trouble for misuse of campaign funds? If you remember one at all, i'd wager it was George Santos, and it took a huge amount of misuse there for people to start paying attention.
This makes me irrationally angry because whenever I hear this, putting the time it took to ask would have been enough time to just type up a few sentences in an email that would explain everything everyone needed to know and then we've also got it in an easily searchable format so we can reference it later if needed.
I may be a little bitter.
I think we've been operating on the false assumption that the Democratic partys primary goal is to win. I would wager that as far as campaign contributions go, it's likely better for them financially if they barely lose. I feel like the past few presidential races have been the American populace trying to force them to win anyways when they obviously didn't want to.
A lot of their decisions make a lot more sense in that context.
Not super popular, but i've been using Resilio Sync for years, it's from what used to be the Bittorrent Foundation.
The UI has all the features I need but is still simple and I've been using it for years and have never had to spend any time troubleshooting it post-install. I'm not sure what that gets you over syncthing though.
The 'But, everyone is a bit evil' argument is such bullshit, the concern here is obviously the extent of the surveillance, but no one can say you're entirely wrong because the definition of that is so broad.
It's kind of technical, but there are comparisons on the report itself, even a fancy table, to other popular shopping apps and there are some legitimately troubling items. For anyone else, I'd recommend skipping direct to the source:
As others have said, prices should be mostly stable, especially for big names, but you still might see a few small devs who were like "Oh shit, its the summer sale, we should add a discount" halfway through.
I know it's kinda hard to quantify and fireworks can be overpriced, but street value up to 10 million and 150,000 pounds puts that at around $67 a pound per fireworks. I know that's also a weird metric to use for fireworks, but that feels pretty high.
If I have to choose between keeping nature around and not having to buy an iron again, is gonna be a tough choice.
They're in the top 10 for the lowest obesity rate worldwide. An overweight person isn't someone with a problem there, it's just someone who knows their food.
Plastic is defined by the fact that it's not biologically produced, but if you remove that qualifier there's tons of existing items that should qualify.
Not a chemical engineer, but think along the lines of latex/rubber/etc.
Probably doesn't matter. Having worked similar jobs in the past there's usually a question along the lines of how you feel about the company overall and if you answer negatively the whole survey counts against them and it sometimes only takes 2 or 3 of those in a month for them to get fired.
Turnover is intentionally exceptionally high and employees aren't usually treated that well. Pay was pretty great comparatively at the time though.
Plex operates a service on their end that mostly covers you if you fuck up the network routing. It's probably the least user friendly part of the setup, so kind of a big deal.
There are resellers in the US who will set you up with the infrastructure to do it yourself. You don't need much and it's less expensive than you'd think, almost turnkey.
Demand is more than high enough in poor areas too, they probably made a really good return before it shut down.
You might be overestimating how much content that was. Streaming services try to maintain an illusion of neverending content but last I saw except for prime, the amount of content they offer has been trending down.
Those numbers are fairly accessible for an average person with 3 or 4 large hard drives.
I realize I'm immature but I can't help but laugh at the table heading of 'Solid D'.
Looking at the house races is kinda crazy, I didn't realize things were going to be so close there this election.
Anything reaching those kind of numbers is probably a music video or some sort of nursery rhyme set to music. Youtube is mostly a music service.
Beyond that, there's a grammarly ad that hit over 500 million views, wonder how much they spent on that and a lot of random memes. It's real difficult to find the most viewed real non-music, non-kids, non-ad video. Probably still Charlie Bit my Finger (again). Except Mr Beast, not many others regularly topping 100M.
Honestly, I use it because it does a better job than who we usually use, the items it adds to the Job descriptions usually actually exist.
You're right that is a real loss. Really, an Alexa that didn't require a personalized amazon account could still be huge if they could figure out how not to have to justify the costs of running the servers. I think that unwillingness to let Alexa be just a voice assistant is the key roadblock. In a similar vein, Alexa for business could have been a really big deal too if they could have worked it out a bit faster but now I think interest has mostly died out before it had a chance to be adopted.
I'm not a huge fan of the company and I think it's a coin flip as to whether they would just completely screw it up, but I wonder what would have happened if someone like Crestron had taken a real interest instead of just half-assing an integration.
