It’s about damn time. The difference between Hillary’s meme attempts and Walz’s is crazy. I’m not sure who handled them, whether it was the candidate or a team for each, but Walz’s are so much better it’s insane. Chillin in cedar rapids and Pokemon go were so hard to watch. I know an election like this so much more than that, but get with the times if you rely on a younger voting pool. Walz’s reminds me of Biden VP memes to a certain extent. Maybe more timeless and less fad based. Not sure but seems much more genuine this time.

I was reading that he would probably hurt the surrounding 6 more than many other options and wasn’t that much of a lock for PA itself. Probably not worth the tradeoff. Make several virtual locks and maybe swing PA vs make some of the 6 less sure and still be shaky in PA anyways. PA is important but potentially so much of a tossup that too many eggs in one basket may cost several surprise other places.

Honest question, who outside of PA wanted Shapiro? I’ve heard even PA people say it wasn’t a good choice. Not sure if I’m just out of the loop though.

I might be the 10th dentist but I grew up with the fake stuff and enjoy it far more. I didn’t understand why all of the “nice syrups” tasted awful comparatively.

There was a feature I had on android several years ago where you could limit notification sounds by time. You could pick from 1 to like 10 minutes. The first one would ping you and the rest for that timeframe would be silent notifications until the timeframe ended and treated the next one like normal.

Edit: still a feature on the texting app I use, Textra. I like their features so much I paid for it and keep reverting back when trying stock or anything else. I’m sure there’s some big flaw I don’t know about since it’s an old SMS app though.

I’d argue that it sacrifices the safety of any other car that’s smaller than it too, with sudans being the most vulnerable. No way a bumper difference of feet allows for the smaller car’s safety features to work as intended if not bypassed entirely.

I can vibe with this. Better use a straw to help protect from those kicks to better enjoy the show.

I was also wondering but it makes perfect sense now :)

If I miss a part on commentary, I lose out on the video explanation. If I miss part of the movie, why the hell are these people trying to kill each other. Different levels of impact where rewinding just a few minutes and not going back to the beginning for exposition and reparsing it all back together.

He may have been apolitical for his time (you’d have to ask him personally to know), but many teachings align with socialism. It just relies on the individual to do it themselves instead of being state enforced. “you do you but also heaven won’t accept you if you don’t share wealth”. Final judgement would stand in for corporeal laws in this case. When people don’t subscribe to that and it actively lets people suffer, teachings might not be enough.

I strongly agree with you. I’m not against assisted suicide the same way I’m not against it for non incarcerated people. The only time I would agree with nonoptional state enforced death penalty is if the person is such a danger that they can either not be contained or are somehow able to continue to do direct harm despite all efforts of containment. This would be like trying to imprison evil Superman or professor X. Extremes only fiction has been able to create. This person wasn’t even close. I am wary of assisted suicide for the incarcerated only because consent isn’t a strong value for prison systems and could be faked/forcibly encouraged etc.

No, it’s harsh but fair. Despicable view of the world from the water company.

I also want to know more like the previous commenter. Automatic screening that I had with an old pixel phone was the best thing Google ever did for me back with a pixel 3.

Thanks for backing me up

Completely agree. Block means don’t see in my mind.

I completely agree. I tinker and change my PC to parts because it’s fun. Did it make a difference to performance? Kinda. Was the effort put forth because of performance alone? No. People like making Legos and just put them on a shelf. There are consumer products where the customer is paying to do the work themselves for little gain above the fun of the journey. Why wouldn’t it expand to many other areas? And if there’s not enough people willing to do something, make it worth their while to fix it, but that’s already a problem and UBI isn’t the big smoking gun people claim it to be.

Thank you for your comment. Of everything I read, this is the most sane response. It’s a shitpost to send a specific message.

While I agree, the amount of productivity that’s increased since the 5 day work week was established has made it reasonable to once again change the norm. That, or pay workers equivalent to the increase in productivity that has happened. It’s all going somewhere.

I know that old media/tech platforms have a use that can be helpful. Where should I donate unused/functional tech that can be more than e-waste that isn’t something I want to make money from? If I’m sitting on floppy discs and know they are going to help someone, who do I give them to?

In college I had support to do something very similar to engineers without borders just under a different name but in conjunction with the program. They required a certain donation level to ensure that the work we did had the needed materials paid for and could compensate the local workers involved. That’s what I was told. I wasn’t auditing anything but it seemed above board. I was able to engage with doctors without borders members while there. All were committed to the cause. Many were from the same part of the world if not “state/province” and giving back after they were able to make more money elsewhere. Just about all were hardcore. We have 5000 to treat in 7 days type of hardcore. Bedside manner wasn’t what you’d expect in the US, but it was about helping as many people as you could as effectively as you could. Truly eye opening though. I can’t say anything about the organization, but the people who were first hand there either gathered the donations or donated themselves and went there to make a difference. I respect the hell out of those people.
