This board also has soldered memory and uses MicroSD cards and eMMC for storage, both of which are limitations of the processor.

Ah, yeah, hard no from me dog. Can we get one of the new Snapdragons tho? Please?

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

I have no problem with regular people having the ability to shoot machine guns or similar auto-fire weapons but for God's sake license that shit!

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

"Please bare with us during this transition period."

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

FML. Leaving it.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

If you supported abortions Matt then your 15 yo dates wouldn't have a kid in the first place.

Just because it's not on a report doesn't mean providers have no recourse when it comes to seeking compensation. If they so choose they can take anyone to court and obtain a legal judgement. The frequent calls and letters from collectors are no picnic either.

The biggest issue I have with paying bills on time is the stupid billing systems. Like 30% of the time I either can't find the payment option in their portal, login doesn't work, don't see any record of services (i.e. just give us money), or the total amount owed is different from the paper bill. Life is distracting, and if I can't assess what I'm paying for and get to the "Submit Payment" button in 10 mins then don't expect me to remember 8 hours later when I again have free time.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

It's still amazing that they shot it down for that reason when the case brought by Lorie Smith had pretty much no standing either (i.e. a homosexual couple never once solicited her services). https://www.scotusblog.com/2023/06/supreme-court-rules-website-designer-can-deny-same-sex-couples-service/

Did something happen or is this just, "Waaaahhh, China baaaaddd!"? It sounds like they actually had better reason to ban TikTok.

Biden says the next president may get to name two Supreme Court justices ( www.npr.org )

LOS ANGELES – President Biden on Saturday night said he expects the winner of this year’s presidential election will likely have the chance to fill two vacancies on the Supreme Court – a decision he warned would be “one of the scariest parts” if his Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump, is successful in...

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

One, they haven't had the votes since Biden became President. Two, that doesn't fix anything. If we had 6 more liberal justices today they can't just say, "Hey, let's undo the bad decisions from the last 15 years." They need to address the issues that come before them in regular fashion. If the Democrats had the votes they need to just start codifying everything we take for granted AND institute reforms (e.g. no more fucking filibuster, no stock trades for elected officials, and a SCOTUS code of ethics).

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

You clearly underestimate how much money a billion dollars is. There's always enough money to bribe officials.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

Trump, the guy who twice said Nikki Haley was Speaker of the House on Jan 6th?

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

If OP has a thrift store nearby it's pretty likely they can get both for under $30.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

Hmm, don't see anywhere in the Constitution where elected officials have a "right to life". Your move NC.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

I watched Dear Infidels and really most of the criticisms could also apply to Christian Nationalists.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

And if somehow marijuana was the cure... or the cause!

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

Goddamn this makes me sick. THEY CAN BOTH BE GUILTY!!!

Why scientists fear a second Trump term, and what they are doing about it: Several federal agencies are working to safeguard research, including climate science, from future political meddling. ( wapo.st )

The Washington Post has recently started asking people to register in order to access gift links. You can put in a completely made-up email address, as there is no verification of the email address.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

Biden should start ousting conservative appointees and other officials any way possible and goad Congress into passing laws to restrict his ability to "drain the swamp".

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

If they're illegal they're undocumented. How do we even know they're in the country?

How do you connect with people and make friends without social media?

I'm struggling to figure out how to make friends without having Instagram or any other social media. I have discord but don't use it much. I see all my acquaintances in discord channels and sharing Instagram posts and stuff. It's already hard for me to make friends, but I feel like not having any of the traditional social media...

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

Which is why I've made zero friends on social media.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

Any alt source? This just doesn't render properly on mobile.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

Sounds like these are at least some of the items they backed away from: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/03/22/fact-sheet-house-republicans-endorse-a-national-abortion-ban-with-zero-exceptions-in-latest-budget/

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

Do you have any idea how much energy an abortion uses? Like way less than a delivery or supporting a living, breathing human! Wait, where was I going with this? Shit!

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

My high school banned shorts. In Texas! Can't wear fucking shorts to a school in hot AF Texas! Of course a school can ban certain phrases on t-shirts.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

I'm just done "trusting" Republicans in general. Romney seems to be the only one left that has a moral compass (that doesn't just point to "Nazi Jesus"). Even then I don't believe he'd give a damn about the poorest among us as long as he could point to record stock prices and low unemployment.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

I mean, there can be a way of working — a way of living together peacefully, but it’s difficult, you know, because there are differences on fundamental things that really can’t be compromised.

(LGBTQ+ exists)

Republicans: I can't live like this!

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

I'm sure there's no "conflict of interest", "insider trading", or "anti-bribery" training for her and I, an engineer with no direct reports below me and no power to make financial decisions, have to recertify those things annually.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

If I'm not being calorie conscious then Big Red.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

This is a really odd take. I mean if voting is inconvenient on the reservations then why not mail-in voting? The reservations take up a very small portion of the land so administration should be relatively low cost. You'll spend way more money trying to secure an online voting system (and of course they're just going to cut corners).

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

Grabeth them by the pussy as thou would haveth them grab thine own pussy.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

North of 95F your body will start having trouble regulating temperature and hydration, ventilation, and shade become critical. On a bike you can only reasonably control hydration (can't depend on strong wind, moving at a constant speed, or staying under building and foliage shade) so basically 9 months of the year you're putting your health at risk to commute by bike. Riding a bike to the nearest bus stop and going from there might be the best middle ground.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

Well, same sex couples, and by extension their children, are more likely to get harassed by bigoted fucks like Rep Rosendale so I guess there's a sliver of truth in there.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

And if they say the President does have immunity before the election then Biden would be free to exercise that new "freedom" to suppress the opposition or find some other way to hamstring the new admin.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

So the DoJ is Joe Bidens puppet and he's using it to persecute Trump for *checks notes* failing to turn over classified documents? Not insurrection or treason? Embezzlement? Russian collusion? Campaign finance violations? If every single indictment is a farce, why not drum up murder charges so he's guaranteed to serve time?

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

Hate to give him such credit but he's shaping up to be even more brilliant than Hitler was. Hitler rode the wave of real economic strife (700% rise in prices) while Trump is riding a wave of ignorance.

Trump plans to claim sweeping powers to cancel federal spending: In a second term, allies said the former president would look at funding cuts for the World Health Organization and green energy ( wapo.st )

Classically, Congress held the power of the purse, able to both bar and require spending. This imposed a significant limit on Presidential power. With a bought court supporting him, Trump would have significant ability to essentially chart power as a king.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

So the 2025 Enabling Act?

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

Surely AI makes them so efficient they're free to spend more time organizing a union right? /s

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

After watching part of the Netflix documentary Hitler and the Nazis: Evil on Trial I'd say there have definitely been war crimes committed.

Just Google "IDF power targets" and keep a barf bag on standby.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

Doesn't seem very unusual unless that's trying to say runoff elections are no longer a thing (most votes doesn't mean majority).

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

Once again Republicans misunderstand/misrepresent history to suit their own needs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_man,_one_vote

In short, none of this is meant to say that a person can't express more granular support in an election, so long as it doesn't give certain citizens greater influence than others. A ranked ballot is still "one vote" per race, in IRV at least, so my vote doesn't mean any more than yours.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

We can't have the VP out-racist the Racist-in-Chief.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

Black VP contender touting the positives of Jim Crow and a black Supreme Court Justice wanting to revisit a landmark desegregation case? The GOP is a cult, straight up!

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

Depends on whether or not Manchin keeps his seat. So far he's the new Lieberman.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

This has Handmaid's Tale written all over it. Man I live in a fucking horrible state.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

What's keeping me here is:

  • Family
  • Good food
  • Decent weather (not a fan of cold weather)
  • Low cost of living
  • Southern hospitality (helps if you're a WASP)
  • The nearest non-shitty state is pretty damn far

Everything else about the state pretty much sucks ass.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

I'd wager there's at least a million Texans that have never left the state. It's hard to get a sense you're part of many other states if you've never left yours. Almost every time I leave the state I experience some kind of culture shock.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

True. New Mexican food is good. Have a little concern with their gun policies but doesn't seem too far off from Texas anyway.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

At least he won't be President on 7/11 and less able to hamstring security.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

Seriously though. If something happens please save every scrap of footage and every tweet or post regarding the event. Join conservative groups if you feel so bold. Don't let them get away with the rhetoric that the event was spontaneous and Trump didn't organize it in any way or that it was a false flag op.
