Schiff says he hopes Intelligence Community ‘will dumb down’ briefings for Trump ( thehill.com )

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said the U.S. Intelligence Community should “dumb down” briefings for former President Trump when he receives classified information as the eventual GOP nominee, voicing concerns about whether Trump could share the information....

I like the libertarians that lie and claim to be Rs

That's not lying, they're just Rs under a different name.

Justin Nash

Anti-abortion? How libertarian. Against DC representation in our government? How libertarian.

Dudes a cuckservative hardcore and pretending otherwise is a joke.

Thomas Massie

The Russian stooge that's the literal only person who voted against supporting Ukraine in 2019, as well as hong kong that same year? The climate change denier?

That dude sounds like a real piece of shit, actually.

So what we get from this is that your political opinions are worth less than nothing as you clearly support regressive pricks. Work on being less shitty in future

As someone who just installed Linux Mint as a test and uses their machine mostly for gaming:

Linux is perfectly fine for that, too. I had one minor issue that was fixed by plugging a cord into a different plug on my machine and have otherwise had 0 issues getting things to run on the Linux partition of my system.

I actually have seen mostly better performance in the realm of about 10fps better per game than the Win 10 install on the same hardware

Spent less time tinkering with the settings (done via GUI that makes more sense than windoes' 15 different settings menus) than I never have in any version of Windows, synched my firefox over, boom.

Not gonna say Linux is perfect for everything but it does seem a lot of people think it's harder/worse than it is by a mile

You disgusting monster (me too)

I wonder if it has something to do with my parents being heavy smokers as a kid, now I think about it. Nicotine is detectable in mucus, so if you do the kid thing of trying it enough maybe you can end up vaguely addicted?

Used to have a problem where I'd scratch my head and sniff it when stressed which stopped when my parents quit, too, now I think about it....

Use Calibre, there are guides. Took me like 4 minutes to learn how to do it when I was gifted a kindle last year

It miiiiight be an ADHD thing as the only people I've been known to actually retain info while doing this are all diagnosed, including me

Or at least more commonly possible in ND brains like that

I personally only find myself rewinding my audiobooks when either:

  1. Something weirdly worded or confusing happens. Going through discworld right now and I had to repeat a lot of Pratchetts descriptions of people, for example

  2. I need to read something in the language the book is in. IE, english Text that's actual words that have meaning, but not numbers or acronyms or other non-sentence English, if that makes sense

why pay Plex extra for what Jellyfin can do for free since it is an open-source project?

One big reason for me is that I got Plex lifetime on sale for like 70 bucks and it comes with a discount on Tidal, something I already paid for. With the discount after about 1 year and 2 months I've gotten my Plex Pass value out of Tidal alone. Oh and the paid features for PlexAmp are also really nice to use for the point where I barely use the Tidal app anymore.

the question if what motivates people to be productive. I think it varies widely.

That is accurate, but does not mean that basic survival should be that motivation.

SodaStream is cool and all but I've found Sparkel to be better

Basically the same thing but you provide the Citrix acid and baking soda to make the carbonation right in the machine so it's wayyyyyyy cheaper to run.

Also doesn't void warranty to use alcohol in it, shits great for everything from recarbonsting flat soda to giving alcoholic mixed drinks some fizz

Someone on Amazon reviews even carbonated their milk like a madman

There was a serial killer in Stockton, CA a couple years back that got hunted down to a place in the rural bits near Ione

That house is across the street and 1 over from me, and they get swat to visit them about once a year for some shit or another

No, the president gets our votes automatically because he's got the job already and can beat the mean fascist man without tying! All we have to do is verbally abuse anyone criticizing Biden and we'll surely have him as president again and there'll be no problems come 2028 or anything!

As a CSR at a fuel company who regularly deals with many types of people:

It's not "Americans haven't heard of ach/eft", it's old Americans who refuse to use it.

I have multiple overly paranoid nutters who insist they must hand their check to my driver or some evil spirit will take their money from them in the night (these are not pleasant people in general, either, so I think it's that they like forcing an interaction with their nasty asses on my driver's)

gamermanh ,

Actually I am. That's kind of how thinking for yourself works

No, that's how ignoring facts to fit your personal beliefs work. That's what Republicans and religious nutters do.

have years of experience that clearly others don't

Guarantee you the people doing the study have enough experience with grocery store waste to know what they're talking about. Kinda the point of the study.

If you or the doofus I responded to had ever actually worked restaurants or grocery stores you would understand what I am saying

Im not either of them and I HAVE worked in those places and DO know that you're wrong. Checkmate.

that would also assume that you have working braincells and aren't going on just being contrary to argue and feel like you are more than you are

Put this dude in a movie theater cuz that's some damn fine projection

First U.S. moon landing since 1972 as private spacecraft touches down on lunar surface ( www.cbsnews.com )

Intuitive Machines' Odysseus lander touched down on the moon Thursday after a historic, nail-biting descent following a last-minute navigation sensor malfunction, becoming the first U.S.-built spacecraft to stick a moon landing in more than 50 years and the first ever by a private company....

gamermanh ,

One of the major parts of the current Artemis missions is to put a lunar base in orbit and have construction of lunar hab modules be based out of that orbital base

There's no way they're not going to use at least some civilian contractors for at least some parts of that mission when we're already using civvy work for making the damn rockets

That's setting aside $33,333/yr

That's not easy for most people

You're acting like there aren't affordable used EVs that would function perfectly well for people in a position to have an EV

My 2018 Leaf is more than sufficient for the majority of commuters and is cheaper than last year's Honda Civic. Oh and bonus, a lot of them just had their batteries swapped under warranty due to a manufacturing defect and have a fresh new battery and warranty!

So, assuming someone either has the ability to charge at home or close to (I lived with this car in an apartment complex for a year so yes even that is possible, if not annoying) then they should be able to locate an affordable EV if that's their desired engine type

I finally took the dive in audiobook form about 2 weeks ago

Yesterday I finished The Light Fantastic in one day at work while listening

On equal rites rn and I now see that all of my favorite inline creators for the last 18 years have just been repackaging Pratchet

And I love it

She owns and regularly uses a private jet

Recently she (or someone working for her) sued someone doing the jet tracking update via Twitter thing

Thus it's on people's minds, especially what with the cuckservative rage over her and the superb owls or whatever

Cutting things out of an even mildly noisy background was a pain in PS when j went to college

6 months ago I cut out a game character from a really noisy background using a free web based PS knockoff and it took like 5 minutes

I cried a little for the lost time past me had

Luna is Latin for the moon

Selene is Greek for the goddess and personification of the moon

"The Moon" is it's actual name these days but either of those options is a fair pick given their oldness

gamermanh ,

as it should be

No, it should not be.

There was once a time when politicians would use election time to debate the president anyway, allowing up and coming politicians to get their views and voice out there while also letting the current president show their strength, conviction, and skill even within their own party. Time that's used for inter-Party debates is time where that party's points are being broadcast to all, as well.

But now that we're all so scared Trump's gonna win were tossing that in the garbage because "any question to Biden at all means we get a fascist!", which is only gonna bite the US in the ass when Dems eventually have nobody that's well known ready to take the seat

Biden absolutely should have been challenged in the primaries by competent Dems that will be the next generation

gamermanh ,

Because they're not being given the time to debate and be seen by the public like in elections past.

Because the DNC doesn't want someone else.

gamermanh ,

You're comparing petty theft to murder

One of these crimes has a word in it that quite literally means insignificant in it, do you not see how they're nowhere near comparable?

It's not a separate sink, it's a dual-chambered sink, it's one big sink with a raised bit in the middle

The real reason for separate sink areas is that one is for un-dirtying them (this side has the disposal usually) and the other side for rinsing

Commercial sinks are usually 3-chambered (rinse, wash, sanitize)

gamermanh ,

Me, though it's more indifference than active desire

Brought my wife's bad dragon collection out so she could show a friend the different firm esses and my ADHD ass put one on the shelf

It's been there for months, keeps getting put back there

I could go move it right now if I wanted but now that's it's place now

No, we call it the "minimum wage" because it's the minimum to be legally paid

It's meant to be a living wage, and in case that's not clear enough for you

and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living.

quoted from FDR, the guy who got the initial minimum wage laws passed in the US

YSK: Indeed and other job sites are saturated with scams

For the past two years, legitimate job postings on Indeed and Glassdoor have been replaced by scams. If you're tricked, the scammers aren't satisfied with your contact info in your CV, they reach out via email to request that you connect on an encrypted messenger app where they can privately scam you out of thousands in pre-hire...

gamermanh ,

So many "sales" places reached out to me while I was job hunting, my god

Clear scam mills designed to make you data harvest on people by canvasing door to door and if you fail to make a sale the company gets their data from you for free at least

Went to their first day onboarding and it was 6 hours of introductions and repeated company slogan bullshit, left after hour 3 of doing shit in another window out of pure boredom

Back when I regularly used Java for Minecraft mods n shit id get shit like

Then I'd go to line 68 in the editor and it and the 5 on either side of it are allllllll blank. Wonderfully helpful!

A federal judge has gone to great lengths to make clear Trump really did rape E. Jean Carroll ( www.motherjones.com )

District Judge Lewis Kaplan has said it multiple times: Donald Trump raped E. Jean Carroll in 1996. Kaplan wrote it in May 2023, when he presided over one of the trials against Trump. And he reminded jurors of the rape this week, during the latest proceedings in the multi-layered, winding rape and defamation cases brought...

Yep, Greek af

I can technically afford my house and acre on my wife and mys income

Doesn't mean I'm not currently planning and setting up my network of legit customers of shitake and no other mushrooms to help make sure I can survive, no sir

Not all places combine sick and PTO, that's why they differentiate them as "sick days"

I've worked places that gave x days PTO and y days for sick leave, though it's fucking stupid and prefer where I work now that just lumps the 2 together into one big time off pool

gamermanh ,

I think when parents realize DeSantis just sentenced their kids to fighting to be menial wage slaves

But that's not what happened, it's very clear that brown people came and unfairly took those better paying jobs from our perfectly fine and upstanding American good-ol-boys!

gamermanh ,

So what you're saying is it takes a day to reach someone the skills to be a ditch digger?

So it's skilled labor?

They're unskilled when they get hired, skilled after a day of training. Might not be a lot of skill required, but that's still not 0

gamermanh ,

I'll believe they actually optimized their PC port when their PC ports start showing some signs of effort at being actual PC ports

No FOV slider after FO76 had one is, to me, a great sign of how little Bethesda actually cares about the platform that keeps them popular (thanks to mods)
