This tweet was from 2022. Can someone go check if the prediction came true?
  • Just order a flat white and get blanked confused face.

    Honestly just stick with instant. American whatever isn't that much better. And in America isn't not like you'll ever be afforded the time to enjoy, even if it were done right.

    Now get back to work.

  • Obama urged Biden to beef up campaign amid worries about Trump strength in polls: report
  • I'm going to lecture the idiot that doesn't understand democracy and doesn't think voting works, cuz you know, age demographics mean that each one of these election cycles if a few more young people vote things might quickly change. But you don't want to vote in a real candidate in a primary in 4 years. You just want to cry a river now.

    Go for it. Continue to convince yourself and the kids not to vote and continue to bitch about both sides when you can't even be bothered to try.

  • Alaska 737 cockpit voice recorder data erasure renews industry safety debate
  • The other guy thought it was too much of a pain in the ass to even spell 737 correctly tho. But yes, some things absolutely should be a pain in the ass. Like when something going even slightly wrong will likely kill someone.

  • Obama urged Biden to beef up campaign amid worries about Trump strength in polls: report
  • So a lot of us voted for what we thought was better option than a centrist in a lot of primaries before Biden, before Obama even.

    I don't think anyone is asking for your to always hold your nose and vote, but the man beat trump once, and if he does it again we can all do something more than bitch and moan that Biden isn't good enough.

    I'm not surprised by the way you feel tho, just caution that life is a lot longer than two presidential elections.

  • Obama urged Biden to beef up campaign amid worries about Trump strength in polls: report
  • So if Trump lost the Republican primaries that would change the entire calculus. I didn't say you had to vote for Biden under all possible circumstances. Just that not voting for Biden would be basically voting for Trump (the worse option) because we don't use ranked choiced voting in this country and due to first past the poll only have two parties.

    You do you though, if you want to be bitter, go for it. But I'd rather be really bitter with the DNC and with Biden than watch a TV star clown dismantle democracy for the lolz.

  • Retiring House Republican says $174,000 isn't enough money for members of Congress: 'Most of us don't have wealth'
  • Set their pay to be the lowest military pay at E-1 salary anytime there's a war on or troops are: in combat, deployed, or enlisted are staged even in a supporting roll in someone else's warzone.

    Let see how long it takes for congress to find a way to end the wars and bring the troops home from the southern boarders if they're all getting E1 pay. Or maybe they really do believe what they're preaching and will be willing to do without for the war effort.

  • Obama urged Biden to beef up campaign amid worries about Trump strength in polls: report
  • If you're not afraid of the commander and chief of the military being Trump, being worse for what's happening in the middle east, you are asleep.

    There is no guarantee that the Dems will take both chambers. Your plan to increase protest voting in support for trump sounds a lot like when Hillary told Bernie bros that she didn't need them, and they said they wouldn't vote for her in that case.

    We ended up with Trump, not by popular vote, but by just enough. Trump has praised the Israeli military. If this is your single issue, then siding with Trump won't improve any fait in the middle east.

  • Michigan police defend 107 mph fatal chase that started over expired tabs
  • Illegal possession of a stolen gun, likely intended to use that gun for at best extortion at worst murder. Yea I'll say it, that 24 year old was up to no good, and made the choice to drive dangerously and kill himself.

    I'm happy his actions result in him no longer being able to cause pain and suffering to others. Instead of him harming others karma caught up with the punk.

    Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

  • Man who brazenly attacked judge during sentencing said he was having a bad day
  • As a veteran with PTSD, DPDR, that has spent a lot of work, time, and money to not have a bad day. If I cannot prevent myself from committing acts of violence please just put me down.

    There is no reason my existence, for whatever reason caused it to be fucked up should cause harm to others. As a survivor of abuse at the hands of Catholic Church, nothing justifies harming children. As a TBI traumatic Brian injury survivor of war, my continued existence and freedom for self determination doesn't justify continuing to abuse others or commit unsanctioned acts of violence against others.

    If I am incapable of controlling myself or not causing harm to others I should not be allowed to cause harm to others simply because I am a faulty individual that has been harmed or suffered. My suffering does not justify causing others to suffer. Get out of here with that bull shit. If the person refuses medications, therapy, work then the only alternative is involuntary treatment.

  • Vizio settles for $3M after saying 60 Hz TVs had 120 Hz “effective refresh rate” | Vizio claimed backlight scanning made refresh rates seem twice as high.
  • There is a reason it's slightly more expensive tho. They don't even bother to force or nag you to connect to Wi-Fi / Internet so the manufacturer can start selling data on what you watch... Sony charges a little more because the TV is for profit, instead of your data being the profit product.

    They aren't all that much more expensive at Costco anyway. Also it's not like I'm buying a TV ever few years.

    Shit my Sony Trinitron CRT still works. That really is buy it for life. Less can be said about Walmart specials.

  • Shame.
  • While 104 is contact an MD range.

    Fevers have to get to 108F to cause brain damage. 106F is definitely in the seek treatment range!

    But normal fevers between 100° and 104° F (37.8° - 40° C) are good for sick children.

  • Has google stopped working for finding anything?
  • Bro,

    I have been using Google before 2000

    Had an early invite to Gmail. Got mobile search results over text message before smart phones.

    Google maps didn't even launch until 2005.

    Some of us went places and did things before Google+

    I don't disagree that if I want to go somewhere I might search g maps.

    But the search results are really shit lately.

    I miss competition with several web spiders

  • Federal court decides in favor of retired engineer told by state to not talk about math in public
  • I feel that engineer is shoehorned into a lot of job titles nowadays... But I also now work in software engineering. I have a degree in CS as well as degrees and certs in cybersecurity.

    Should I need to be licensed by the State to discuss the lack of cybersecurity in systems?

    If anything, my studies, and application of project management pay more benefits than my CS certifications and degrees. SMEs really lack the ability to explain to management how it costs more to screw around and half ass some fantastic plan than to, you know, just get minimum viable product going then integrate improvements.

    Previously I worked with aircraft where safety is written in blood. Yet in software dev I still have a hard time convincing people to provide a software bill of materials even though it's required. It's still the wild west. Even when DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas termed "killware" only a few took notice.

    I guess what I'm saying is that we care more about Netflix uptime than we care about if water treatment plants or infrastructure that could literally kill people if it fails insecure.

    The problem is qualified people already built a lot of the systems that are either no longer secure or no longer up to the task post IoT and climate change. How do we admit that qualifications aren't the problem? The problem is lack of continued penetration, stress, fail safe, or regression testing!

  • Kid repeats my patterns
  • If the kid is 4 they're going to be a COVID baby and possibly have some socialization issues due to lockdowns.

    Talk to their daycare, preschool teachers, caregivers about their socializing and interaction. But kids need room to experiment, try, test boundaries, grow. If you measure them all the time rather than model behavior and tell them, show them, teach them what you want them to do then they will find other less desirable things to do.

    Kids want to be involved and do things that other enjoy. Teach them the skills you think they need. If you value reading and music show them. If you value social interaction and conversation show them. They little sponges and will pick up whatever you make a point to show them consistently.

  • Yea not everywhere is equipped to do all types of operations.

    Shit, in America I know someone that just wants a blood work type test done in the largest city in the State. Can't even find anyone that knows shit all about the test. Several doctors refused to draw the blood and send it out of state. Test can be done at Johns Hopkins (or other 1st rate places around the globe) but hasn't trickled down to 50 states yet. Doctors stay in their lane and if you want a specialist at the cutting edge you'll have to travel even in America.
