Comment You're in a fucking recession (Score 2) 30

And it wants to Democrats win big in the midterms we can expect it to become a depression.

Right wing trickle down economics not only don't work but they do active harm. Normally we go through a cycle where we elect a republican because they are better at messaging than they wreck the economy and we come to our senses briefly and then we elect the Democrat and then have eight years of relatives stability and then flip back and forth between chaotic destruction by people who know how to push our buttons and boring ass administrators who know how to run a country...

We only got 4 years of those boring ass administrators and it was not enough time for them to fix the mess. It actually is never enough time to for them to fix the mess there's always a bit left over and is always a bit of resentment because they didn't fix things fast enough. This is typically because in between major elections we put the Republicans in charge of Congress and they sabotage any attempt by the Democrats to fix the damage their policies caused.

You would think after a 40 or 50 years Americans would have figured out this pattern but nope.

Comment Re: 455 calls failed and two callers died (Score 1, Insightful) 10

It's certainly a testament to how many of those calls didn't need to happen, and I'm not seeing here that we're sure those people would have made it if the calls had gone through, or they'd even have had a good chance.

On the flip side, if anyone certainly died because of negligence around a critical emergency service, some heads should roll. Unfortunately, it won't be the ones which it needs to in order to prevent it from happening again.

Comment And you and I are going to pay for it (Score 1) 27

Microsoft has a monopoly and that means you're going to pay to fund their AI bullshit. Even if you install Linux on your fucking home PC the companies you do business with are going to still need Windows and they're going to have to pay for this crap.

It's not enough to just say you like Linux better if you want actual viable alternatives you need functioning capitalism. Billionaires do not like capitalism and when you let billionaires run roughshod over you for whatever stupid reasons you give up on capitalism.

And that means you're going to pay for this one way or another.

You need to start deciding come November what's important to you. Is it more important to have functioning capitalism and an economy or is having the girl at McDonald's say Merry Christmas what matters to you the most?

Comment It's destroyed small business (Score 1) 59

Lots of small businesses didn't just import finished codes they imported unfinished goods and finished them here. So a lot of small businesses now gone much to the delight of Trump's mega donors.

What's amazing is how many small businessmen are on the Reddit leopards eating faces forum talking about how Trump is basically ended them.

I mean you own a business that depends on imports and you didn't know what a tariff was... What the actual fuck?

But I mean if people weren't kind of stupid we wouldn't have elected a convicted felon who botched the covid response, bankrupted six casinos and has 28 credible Rape accusations... For a second term though less.

The next eight years are going to suck. We usually get 8 years of Democrats fixing Republican economic damage but we only got four this time. It's just not enough especially after how much damage Trump did. We really need a 12 or even 16 years to recover...

Comment Re: Ohhhhh! (Score 1) 89

You can get a full sized convection oven. You can also power a medium sized one from 110v@15A. When I was a teen we moved into a mobile with a lousy oven and my mother bought a DeLonghi countertop convection oven that plugged into a regular outlet. It cooked about as rapidly as any normal oven, and had capacity between one and a modern air fryer. Just enough for a turkey basically.

"Congratulations, you just coded an unplayable lagfest. This has been tried, this has failed"

This is nonsense.

You don't have to detect cheating before it happens. You can detect it slightly after the fact and then retcon scores and ban players. This is almost as good, much easier, and doesn't create any latency.
