Congrats dude, you win Slashdot. You're the archetypical know-it-all that's so common on this site. You've got that perfect air of superiority over all the stupids of the world, and a smug answer for everything to match. The delicious irony is that that's precisely why your team got fucking smoked last month. So enjoy the next four years, because people like you earned it, in spades. Maybe go bone up on Maslow and Carville so you get an understanding of what's really important to those deplorable average Americans you hate so much that your party has ridiculed and ultimately ignored for years, because they're the ones who ultimately call the shots.

The Democrats made Byrd, a fucking black-hating KKK Exalted Cyclops and honest to God white supremacist, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, from 1989 - 1995, and 2003 to 2007, as well as the straight up Senate Majority leader a large part of that time. It's not ancient Dixiecrat history, and it definitely was not an accident. Your party consciously did it, and they knew exactly what they were doing. Funny how they're perfectly willing to ignore someone's past when it helps them. So own it, at least.

And no, I'm talking about AOC, Omar, Tlaib, Bush, Bowman, and other Democrats who get a hall pass NOW to post their hatred and your party does NOTHING. Own it.

Hate to break it to you, but the party of speech == violence has plenty of assholes on the wrong side of history too.

It's amazing to me how often American conservatives are on the wrong side of history and yet they continue with this nonsense. Equal civil rights for minorities

And let's not even talk about the virulent anti-semites and open hatred for straight white men on that side of the aisle today

Or even cultural stuff, they've been solidly against every form of popular music at one point or another aside from maybe country.

No party has a monopoly on being a dumbfuck. When you start believing that, you end up with shit like the California homeless crisis, where politics is so religious that people can't even admit they were horribly wrong in order to fix a dreadful, self-inflicted mess.

Meanwhile, the pirated streams and rips just keep getting better and better, including live sports and first-run movies and shows. The golden goose is halfway cooked already, and these dummies are just driving more people to the illicit options faster. E.g., many would-be consumers have already found it's better to pirate a movie just to not be forced to sit through 20 minutes of BS ads first.

Apparently they stopped teaching about diminishing returns in MBA school a long time ago.

Nonsense. When the CEO of a high profile, troubled company says this type of thing publicly, it is very effective free marketing / lobbying / pimping for potential M&A, depending on who specifically he's hoping will show up with a bag of someone else's money. Just the fact that you're commenting on it proves his action got *your* attention -- along with millions of others, a very select few of whom are in a position to actually do something about it if they choose to -- which is 100% of his goal. Pretty savvy move IMHO.

The Raspberry Pi 5 doc states PCIe 3.0 mode isn't stable, which is why it's not enabled by default:

The Raspberry Pi 5 is not certified for Gen 3.0 speeds, and connections to PCIe devices at these speeds may be unstable.

While this is very cool, I see that Raspberry Pi 5's internal PCIe bussing is Gen 2.0 x1. So although it supports NVMe SSDs from a pure connectivity standpoint and that in and of itself has a lot of value, they will run a lot slower than in your typical modern x86 mobo.

Not being disparaging at all. Raspy Pi 5s are awesome and this is expected, so I looked up this info as I was interested to know the actual throughput one could expect.

Fuck these thieves. Burn their ships into the harbor. That data didn't belong to them. This would be a great and apparently legal start to pushing back against the "consent by default" headspace of big tech.

It's almost like interest rates were raised a few points and kept that way until the job market tightened up. Color me shocked.

A candidate that showed a 3 place increase in grade scores studying at a school in a poor area is likely a better hire than someone who achieved a higher grade but didn't exceed expectations at a school in an affluent area.

Link to any study proving this? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Just because people want to redefine "merit" to some arbitrary meaning that supports their fringe worldview doesn't make it so.

Newsome never gave a shit about merit, skill, or hard work until the Supreme Court made it illegal for leftist universities to discriminate against Asians. Now we're supposed to believe he's the Champion of the Level Playing Field?!?

The Democrat-controlled Senate just blocked Section 174's repeal last month.

I've vowed never to set foot in an Apple retail store ever again. Why would anyone wait all that time in line and then pay such an outrageous amount when the guy at the little kiosk next to the food court will change the battery for 1/3 the price in 1/4 the time?

ICEs will eventually take care of themselves, but if you're actually serious about putting "crippling taxes and bans on meat," you've already lost, badly. Humans are omnivores -- yes, we eat meat! -- and you're not going to change that biological FACT, ever.

It's already happening. In deep blue ultra-liberal Maryland, the state government is completely ignoring the huge majority of its residents so it can eminent domain 70 miles of private property and build new high tension lines to power new data centers for AI. More proof that your government officials really don't give a fuck about you or the state once they know they have your vote.
