Thems the rules. The rules we made up so we could demonize people and pretend it’s not racism.

The iPod was discontinued in 2022. I’m guessing there’s already a lot of kids who have no idea where the term “podcast” comes from.
The Famicom Disk System, which uses a kind of floppy disk for the Japanese market NES, had kiosks where you could copy games onto disks. The last of those kiosks were removed in 2003 It overlapped the Game Cube.
Gallium tends alloy with most other metals by just being near it.
The bigger problem is application. It’s easy to apply too little and have worse temps, or too much and have it squeezed out. It’s conductive, so squeeze out can be deadly to your build. I won’t touch the stuff anymore.
There must be a point where people get old enough that you figure out how to deflect problems indefinitely by acting like they don’t exist. Not just old women, either, I’ve seen old men do it by somewhat different means. They obviously know there’s a problem, but decide to ignore it.
I’ve been here since Windows 3.0. I’m not sure when this mythical not-shit Windows was. There were a few I could live with, but none that were good.
When Musk starts losing rockets due to bad weather data out of the husk of NOAA, will they start caring then? Reality has a way of forcing the issue.
Economics is merely the study of how scarce goods are distributed. There are many ways to do that. Capitalists argue that their system is the most efficient, but even taking that claim at face value, efficiency alone isn’t the only measure. It also says little about how control of those resources consolidates power.
Can’t seem to get them from Democrats, either, so what’s your point?
Doesn’t matter. Certain things have to be done correctly. Orwellian Rightthink doesn’t work in the long run; you can say that 2+2=5 all you want, but if you’re making a car, it has to be 4. This will affect the billionaire Republican donors, and then they’ll start caring.
1970s build?
Windows are terrible at efficiency. Yes, even modern ones with three panes and filled with argon. A building with minimal windows is generally going to have better thermal efficiency than one with lots of them, and that started to be really important during the 1970s oil crisis. The result was a bunch of schools like this that look like prisons.
If you get some local mural artists to paint the concrete in bright, whimsical images, it fixes a lot.
No, I’m saying that very factor will kill the whole project. They don’t understand how any of it works, why it has to work the way it does (at least to some extent), and things will go wrong because of it. As those things pile up, it’s going to be increasingly clear that they are creating more problems than they’re solving, and they will have to spend increasingly amounts of time solving those problems rather than moving the project forward.
That’s fundamentally not how it works. The bureaucracy must exist to a certain extent. Running a country of 330M people and $25T GDP without it is ludicrous. People must exist in all that who can actually do the work and not just be yes men.
They’ll make a lot of press for the first year or so of firing people and trying to replace them. Some of those replacements will back out, and positions will go unfilled. Then the consequences of not having the old guard around will start to sink in, and the whole project will grind against itself.
To be clear, none of this is good. Those consequences won’t be confined to the people causing the problems. Not even close. But it will mitigate the damage from a full implementation of Project 2025.
Yes, I’m aware. Still doesn’t matter. They can start down that path, and then they’ll find out how hard it actually is to get the US government bureaucracy to change anything. Infighting among those “loyalists” will also bog it all down.
They’re being chosen for loyalty first, and competence a distant second. It’s not going to work.
Not good enough. Even winding down an agency, like NOAA (fully planned as part of Project 2025), takes effort. These people don’t have any appreciation for how they’ll pull one thread and find it’s connected to a hundred other threads. Trump personally lacks the attention span to put any effort into it, and the people underneath him will jockey for position and work at cross purposes.
It’s not a lot of comfort right now, but fascism is self-defeating.
They won’t be able to implement half of it just due to the bureaucracy of the system fighting against any kind of big change. The part they do manage to ram through will be damaging enough, though.
There’s plenty of companies with stock options as part of the compensation package. They’re always just a bone thrown in. They absolutely do not want employees to be able to effectively do a hostile takeover of their own company and set it up as some kind of commie worker cooperative.
I need you to know, I’m a pretty big deal, according to my girlfriend, who lives in Canada, you wouldn’t know her.
Plus, if you can get the right model, you can play PS2 and PS1 games on it. That’s a ridiculous library full of hidden gems.
