So the lesson for republicans is if you are going to try to disenfranchise an entire state, replacing the legitimate all or nothing statewide electoral college votes with criminally fake electors and fake certificates, just sign the paperwork in a heavily republican area. Worst case scenario you might face an elected republican judge and a heavily republican jury, best case is they throw out the case. Not bad if you are a fascist working the system.

Sweet upgrade! Good work benching it, thinking of doing a little overclock or undervolt or whatever the kids are doing these days?

FunderPants ,

Maybe no over/under tweaking with the non K CPU and B motherboard. No matter, upgrade is sweet anyway.

FunderPants ,

Nice, is your ram 4x8, 2x16, or 1x32? How about those m.2 slots?

You don't need overclocking or undervolting to squeeze a bit more out of the system with dual or quad DDR and an nvme drive.

    There are dozens of us.

    Accused adulterer Trump who paid to keep Stormy Daniels affair secret professes ‘love’ for the Ten Commandments ( www.independent.co.uk )

    “I LOVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND MANY OTHER PLACES, FOR THAT MATTER. READ IT — HOW CAN WE, AS A NATION, GO WRONG??? THIS MAY BE, IN FACT, THE FIRST MAJOR STEP IN THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION, WHICH IS DESPERATELY NEEDED, IN OUR COUNTRY. BRING BACK TTC!!! MAGA2024,” Trump wrote in the early...

    "Oh you know, that's too personal"

    We should be extreme in our opposition to the climate disaster currently unfolding. The heat is extreme, the hurricanes extreme, the drought is extreme, the crop failures are extreme and the dead and dying ecosystems are extreme.

    We the public have been politely asking for climate solutions for decades while the extremist oil and gas companies hid the extent of their knowledge from us and used lies to convince half the population nothing is wrong. Even now, the oil and gas lobby lie and plan for expansion into poorer countries where western regulations can't touch touch them. They'll burn every drop, take every dollar, and Fuck over everything in doing it.

    So you know what? When I see these people throwing paint on things, gluing themselves down, and causing tension I say good, good for them, be extreme. These protestors have convinced me over the last couple of years with these acts and nothing they've done is anywhere near as extreme as climate change.

    Climate change is killing people, right now, probably thousands every year, that's fucking extreme and its getting worse. These protestors threw paint on objects.

    Well it would help an awful lot for so called moderate allies to stop whinging over the methods and start focusing on the message. Everyone who pours into a comment section to opine over their "agreeing with the cause, but not the act of protest" is carrying water for the oil companies. It's these people who help establish and maintain the permission structure for the out of hand dismissal of climate protests.

    We should be uncomfortable with protests, people should be made to feel discomfort, tension, and cognitive dissonance. These things work to end injustice better than all the polite ignorable protests that have ever happened.

    FunderPants ,

    Nothing really, but the protest does shine a light on humanities superficial respect for historically important monuments and cultural sites especially when it comes to climate change.

    Stonehenge is a culturally important site, no doubt about it, and the reaction to the protest has been swift and strong and includes criminal charges. But the same state that condemns these actions in the harshest terms is timid in the face of the much more destructive acts of climate change.

    Where is the outrage over the climate driven erosion of the Cliffs of Dover? Or the surge risk to the tower Of London? Or Orkney Islands? Not even to mention the risks to human health, food production, invasive species, and fires.

    Personally, I'm done carrying water for big oil and climate deniers by focusing on the method of protest instead of the message.

    FunderPants ,

    Just a note for anyone disagreeing with the sentiment of my last line. I would have agreed with you a year or two ago, but then I read Martin Luther King's Letter from the Birmingham jail and it changed my mind entirely on the nature of protest, nessecary tension, and the role of so called moderates in perpetuating injustice.

    Give the letter a read, hear some analysis on it, it might change your mind like it did mine.

    FunderPants ,

    I'm not sure what to take from this second half, is protest only valid if it happens under a set of circumstances and targets you've chosen? Is protest by a westerner invalid if they don't take a net zero canoe to India or China or Saudi Arabia to deface something there? Surely not.

    FunderPants ,

    Sure, here you go.

    AI took 60 writing jobs and replaced them with 1 person, but AI is accessable enough that the 59 people who left could also do the job.

    Which makes me wonder, did they create 59 competitors, or has the writing business become more accessable because smaller firms can more readily afford 1 writer plus AI, or do we have 59 people just out on their ass with no options.

    I'd like to know more, and watch how this changes over time.

    FunderPants ,

    Yea, I plan to go again in the next year and in CAD it's about $2500 for flights for four, $2750 for five days of tickets, $1200 offsite accommodations, plus food and local transportation.

    There are other ways to go, to stay on park or get package deals but $7000 seems about right for a family of four.

    FunderPants ,

    So white and yellow for staying cool, every other color heats up.

    FunderPants ,

    Are you telling me a human body is different from a manikan torso?

    Seriously though, I think you're onto something.

    FunderPants ,

    Oh, they're after gay people too.

    FunderPants ,

    I look for broken but working sff/tiny deals. Scored a sweet i5 7500 /16gb system for $100CAD. Just had a broken audio port I was never going to use.

    FunderPants ,

    Cool. Thank you.

    FunderPants ,

    legal experts noted that holding a probation interview over a video conference call is unusual but having the former president in a New York probation would also be unprecedented.

    More kid gloved special treatment for Trump.

    Trump could also be asked if he is associating with anyone with a criminal record because he cannot associate with them if he is placed on probation,

    LOL, Trump has been surrounded by criminals for ages.

    FunderPants ,

    That dog is so angry looking, like it walks on its own fists, and does pushups.

    FunderPants ,

    I figured this was not true, or sensationalized, or something. But then I popped into Gemeni and sure enough, "I'm still learning to answer this question".

    Chat GPT 4o answers correctly and confidently though.

    FunderPants ,

    Weird to say it wasn't taxpayer funds, I mean I get what they mean, It wasn't local town money. But getting it in loan from the DoD just means it was all americans taxpayer money.

    I also wonder who is responsible for vehicle upkeep while they have it and what that entails, specialty vehicles sometimes need specially mechanics.

    FunderPants ,

    I love science, this was an interesting read thanks.

    Let's not gloss over something important, Trump did try to get Hillary locked up. He had his justice department investigate her and the Clinton foundation both. They couldn't find evidence of crimes, so Hillary remains free.

    Where Trump backed down was not going extra-judicial. But let's not let him off the hook, he tried, he's a despot.

    FunderPants ,

    And flush out the earwigs

    FunderPants ,

    Trump is a criminal surrounded by criminals.

    FunderPants ,

    To add to this :

    4 Trumps gain from the crime was to become the most powerful man in the world

    5 Trump would do it again, and is in a position to do it again right now

    Given these, how can he not go to jail. A money fine is nothing compared to what he gained and could gain again.

    Biden campaign launches Pride Month push as allies work to shore up LGBTQ support ( www.nbcnews.com )

    The campaign plans to have a presence this month at more than 200 Pride events in 23 states, including all of the battleground states, and to launch a paid media blitz aimed at mobilizing LGBTQ voters, two campaign officials said in details first shared with NBC News....

    FunderPants ,

    Biden has been working on LGBTQ issues his entire term.

    I mean, no, they're changes to law and policy which is literally not symbolic. But you can just say whatever, you're free to do that I guess.

    FunderPants ,

    The vitriol is unreal, you'll get it just for asking for the vegan option at lunch.

    FunderPants ,

    Shamefully low, but not surprising because they knew who he was already and like it.

    FunderPants ,

    Lol, yea just give your money to a convicted fraudster.

    FunderPants ,

    We will see if he survives shorting a fellow inmate three cigs.

    FunderPants ,

    When will we stop pretending these are the far right and recognize this is just republicans generally?

    FunderPants ,

    Unpresidented

    FunderPants ,

    Under an NDA.

    FunderPants ,

    That's easy for you to say when it's not your millions of dollars, professional reputation and according to this author, prison time on the line.

    FunderPants , (edited )

    No, he's a cynical opportunist arguing for the benefit of the one red hat on the jury.

    I mean, the defense had jury consultants help them find the best juror, they drove out a perfectly qualified juror with the help of their media allies and managed to score a male investment banker who reports using truth social and Twitter as their exclusive news source.

    11 other jurors are an afterthought, they've always been targeting that one. The arguments seem ridiculous because they're aimed at a Trump supporter. They know their audience.

    FunderPants , (edited )

    Juror #2 an "investment banker" who gets all their news exclusively from Trump Truth social and Elon twitter.
    The red hat is there to save the day, hang the jury on some nonsense to protect the cult leader.

    If I'm wrong, and the jury convicts, point to this thread and I'll donate $25 to charity.

    The observers in the court won't say who it is, but I guarantee its that one.

    Edit: I have chosen Special Olympics Canada as the charity.

    Edit2: I was wrong, I will make that donation tonight and post the blurry receipt

    FunderPants ,

    Right on

    FunderPants ,

    Adding one other thing, a juror can be asked to leave for misconduct as well.

    FunderPants ,

    You won the bet, good on ya.

    FunderPants ,

    Lol

    FunderPants ,

    And at least one juror from Trumps NY criminal trial.

    FunderPants ,

    We all knew it would be a hung jury when juror #2 turned out to get their news directly from Trump Truth social. Normal well adjusted people don't do that, that's a red hat behavior.
    Asking a red hat to do anything other than mindlessly support Trump is a losing game, the cult won't turn on their leader.
