Comment Somebody said the Democrats wouldn't save you (Score 1) 541

If you were drowning. Fair enough. But the thing is when somebody is drowning more often than not they can take their rescuer down with them while they're panicking.

I think the Democrats are trying to save us from drowning but at the same time I think that if they start to go down with us because we won't stop panicking then well, they don't have the strength of character to go down with us.

I'm not sure I can blame them for that. At some point we have got to stop being in a constant state of mild or extreme terror and making bad decisions because of it. The problem is once you're in that state it's really hard to calm down and get out of it which is why so many people drown...

Comment So the senate seat isn't what matters (Score 1) 541

It's the AG and the governor. That also means the secretary of state will be a Democrat because the governor appoints them.

This is a big deal because those three seats control and oversee voting.

Now Democrats have a bad habit of refusing to wield power but the orange pedophile has gone after individual Democrats with the doj recently so they're starting to actually fear for their individual lives.

So I think that the Texas Democrats will actually wield that power for a change and this is going to make it really hard for the Republicans to cheat the way they need to cheat to win elections.

That's why I say Texas has flipped blue. The Democrats could potentially wussy out and let it flip back Red by allowing the Republican party to suppress their voters again like they've been doing for the last 50 years but I don't think they're going to do that this time because they are genuinely fearing for their lives and for good reason

Depends on what was mined. A few sparks in an abandoned coal mine could result in a Centralia-style mine fire.

In other words, this is a great idea and Putin should search for abandoned coal mines near Moscow, preferably under valuable land, to house the new data centers.

Comment Which is why the stock is down (Score 1) 9

At this time, AMD stock is down about 1% after being up nearly 10% in overnight trading after they released their results.

I've said it before and I will say it again: If these companies were in any other industry, you wouldn't be able to buy their stock. They are printing money faster than the U.S. government.

Yet every time they announce record earnings, sometimes double what they did the previous year, morons sell because the end is nigh. Never mind their projections for the coming year say they can't keep up with demand. This time it truly is the top of the market.

If that were the problem, the bank would be saying "No PCs with the exception of those running our new banking application, downloadable via the Microsoft Store, that requires TPM 7.1 to run".

No the problem is they're cheap and would rather support easy-to-steal-phones exclusively than issue secure ATM cards and have a website.

> I can't say I know how long ago dinos walked around since none of us were there

They're still here. It's just mammals now dominate the land so there are very few land based dinos.

Regardless, 115M vs 65M (which is probably what you're getting at) isn't a massive change in the "Holy shit that survived a long time" category of things, and honestly, if something can last 65M years, it wouldn't be a surprise that it can also last 115M, especially given the mechanism of survival described here.

Comment Re:Fuck you right wing fascists (Score 1) 541

When people say "150 million people support", it's generally a sign someone is a Russian troll. I've actually seen such people go further and say "146 million".

It's basically a slip of the tongue. Guess what country has a population of 146M?

(The rest of your comments about the Democrats are ludicrous BTW and suggest you've been wallowing in the right wing rabbit hole for too long, but I wanted to let you know where the 150M thing comes from. Maybe it'll make it easier for you to identify people who are trying to make you think that people wanting equal rights for women and other minorities are "misandrist" next time...)

Comment Re: Trump is obviously a compromised asset... (Score 1) 541

Trump has been all over the map politically. The "Trump was once a Democrat" thing is popular in some circles, but he was a Republican between 1969 and 1999, supported the Reform Party from 1999 until 2001, was a Democrat then until 2009, and has been a Republican since 2009. So he was a Democrat for eight years, and a Republican for 47. During the Republican part of his life he tried to be George Bush Sr's running mate.

Was he a supporter of Clinton? I think he was friends with Clinton for a bit, or at least tried to cultivate him as a friend, but I can't find any evidence of him promoting Clinton while Clinton was in office.
