Because it's smart to put all your eggs in one basket, yeah?

Never heard of "plan b" ?

So when you read "The Congress shall have Power To [...] coin Money, regulate the Value thereof" you take that to mean that individual states can coin money and regulate the value thereof?

Hint: when the US Constitution grants a power to the Congress, it is taken away from everyone else unless the Congress delegates it back.

Is it a sponge made from some magical indestructible material that never tears?

Is it made from some magical material that rejects any form of biological growth, and always washes 100% clean?

If you say "no" to either, you're going to need another sponge someday.

And when you're leaning into the aisle and a flight crew member smashes your shoulder with the drink cart, be sure to enjoy that too.

This might come as a galloping shock to you, but some people don't need to get up during some flights, so your "aisle seat is better anyways" is a personal opinion and has no place in any discussion of fact-based matters.

It also may surprise you that people like being able to lean against the "window" while sleeping for comfort, in which case it does not matter if there is an actual window there or not.

Please stop pretending that your preference is everyone's preference.

No, they did not.

There was an effort to have "uncommitted electors" change their votes, and not a single one did. Notice the word "uncommitted" in that sentence - that is a legal term that specifies certain electors from certain states where the state law allows the elector to make the choice.

But go ahead and continue gaslighting people to try to bothsides the fucking coup that the GOP tried (and is still trying). Either you're a useful idiot who actually believes this crap, or you are part of the gaslighting. Either way you can fuck off.

England has no shortage of rainfall. They need to build reservoir capacity to match population growth and consumption trends, which they haven't been doing.

This isn't a "holy shit we need to spend $100B on desalinization" problem, this is a "we neglected to scale our infrastructure and now we're getting bottlenecked the same way people have in SimCity for 25+ years" problem.

So we should shit all over the standards bodies because they didn't come up with cheat-proof tests, instead of shitting on the cheaters?

That seems pretty stupid.

Also don't forget how Microsoft made the same prediction about personal computers replacing mainframes in the 90s, and yet mainframes are still with us.

Microsoft is pretty big on making predictions that never happen.

PCIe direct access is what Thunderbolt is. And there's an ACL in the firmware to allow devices to connect or not in order to at least give some opt-in security to it.

We already solved this.

Thunderbolt has the same DMA insecurity that IEEE-1394[b] had. And now every UEFI implementation of thunderbolt has an ACL that allows devices to connect or not, and at the very least Mac and Windows will both pop up a box asking if it's ok for that hardware to connect.

Solved problem.

And hopefully they learned something about that decision in the 7 months since this spraytan shitbag took office.

And hopefully it's not too late for them to make a different decision next November in the midterms.

Sorry, you don't have nearly enough annual revenue to qualify as "too big to fail."

Say, remember when Trump was anti-bailout for the auto industry? I wonder what happened that changed his mind - it couldn't possibly be that he's the guy that gets to wear a major industry player going titsup on his watch, would it?

Also: let's take funding from the Chips and Sciences Act because that has Biden's name on it, and then instead give a big cash infusion to one of the applicants for funding under that act, with far less accountability for results attached.

Something something fiscal responsibility...

Exactly.

And if you are running the linuxserver.io container, all you have to do is stop / start the container and it updates itself.

Gee that took me all of 30 seconds. Oh no!
