It could be…but it’s supposed to be the most newsworthy/discussed person. Doesn’t necessarily have to be for negative reasons. Greta Thunberg was Times POTY in 2019. Last year was Taylor Swift and before that was Zelensky.

I dunno man if he’s in Kansas that means he’s past the Rockies and it’s all downhill from there.

You should take it. Especially nowadays. You’ll never know when you might need a solid alibi.

How could I have been getting an abortion? I was across town getting a donut. Jen L was the cashier. She saw me.

I would expect a massive nerf/devaluation of rewards if there’s no poor people getting exploited.

I say this as someone who pays for all his family vacations almost entirely with points. About every year and a half. This time was Texas for the eclipse. Before that it was Disney world for my kids 5th birthday. Before that was COVID times and I used my points to buy hardwood floors that I installed throughout my house. Before that it was SC for the eclipse.

Fire suppression systems, and fire prevention mechanisms, are no joke in a data center.

Plenty of systems that displace oxygen in the room to prevent combustion.

Many places won’t let you even bring combustable materials into the data center spaces. Receiving department unboxes and puts cardboard right into the baler. Wanna store stuff in your cage? Better be in a tote.

Also, humidity is strictly controlled to prevent static buildup.

The most likely place for a fire to break out in a data center would be from battery backup systems. But at the scale that most large facilities have, there is a dedicated battery room, or they use something else for instantaneous load transfer, like flywheels.

Well what should they do about it? They kanban them…

Is this a Joker reference?

I’m sure Trump will get his DOJ right on it.

You are embracing fascism as long as it’s your guys.

That’s the problem.

There’s no winning. Democrats embrace fascism, everyone loses. Democrats play by the rules, Democrats lose.

It’s not for lack of trying. Congress has been too split for too long, Republicans care more about open-carrying to committee meetings than to get anything actually done. They get to make the Democrats look bad by dragging their heels and voting no on anything they bring up. And that makes them heroes, somehow.

Literally the oldest president-elect in American history, but keep acting like age matters.

It’s attitude. It’s playing by the rules or bending them. Republicans figured out the cheat codes…they can bend the rules and win, or at the very least not lose. Because you can’t, honestly, compete with that. It’s impossible. Lies are far easier to create than they are to refute.

So either Dems have to go low, and lower the bar further, bend the rules more, and be just as guilty of breaking democracy as the GOP…or they can play clean and lose. There is no winning for the Democrats, and there is no losing for the Republicans. They found the cheat codes.

What’s more, they got seized control of the anti-cheat (SCOTUS) 4 years ago. Stubbornness is a part of it, sure…RBG was too stubborn to leave at an opportune time…but let’s not kid ourselves over GOP hypocrisy when it came time to fill her seat, and let’s not consider whether or not Trump is stubborn.

Republicans can do no wrong, but Democrats have to be perfect.

The first waves, sure. Once you get to the Irish escaping the famine or the Italians escaping Mussolini, it became more about just survival.

The OGs were racist as fuck towards them, too.

Of course. He’s bankrolled by Peter Thiel and they make no false claims about it. Dude is a vindictive brat with billions to his name and absolutely 0 shame. He bankrolled Hulk Hogan’s Gawker lawsuit over a grudge.

Look to the Xiaomi Mi AX6S. Quite capable router and only like $50 on AliExpress. I just got a second one to use as a mesh node and wireless bridge for a bunch of stuff that gets a terrible signal inside of a solid wood entertainment center.

This is the USA. Since when is the US part of the rest of the world?

Seems most the world wants to distance themselves from us. Except for some shithole countries.

I also appear on any graph that shows the months between July and January abbreviated by the first letter of the month.

According to Wikipedia, he’s actually a criminal defense attorney in California, and also “The Fish”, original lead guitarist for Country Joe and the Fish.

The challenge: demand satisfaction. If they apologize, no need for further action.

I went to Texas for the eclipse. Made a big family vacation out of it…landed in Houston, rented a Mustang Mach-E, stayed there for a few days, drove to Austin for a few days, drove to Dallas for a few days (and for the eclipse, was at the Perot), then back to Houston for a few more days.

I say this because this was a lot of highway driving. More than I would usually do. And I absolutely loved one-pedal driving in the city, and the adaptive cruise control and lane keeping on the highway. I trusted it much, much more than in our 2019 Odyssey.

Anything more than that, I don’t think the tech is really ready for. I wish it were. I know theoretically a computer could be a much, much better driver than humans…but it takes a non-trivial amount of intelligence to drive. We take it for granted, because a lot of it is practically instinctual to us, and almost entirely subconscious. It’s an incredible amount of identification and complex decision making that goes into it if you actually break down the number of inputs you observe and variables you “know” the values of (such as stopping distance for various surface and weather conditions).

I imagine power is the tricky part. Badge readers and the like that use RFID also use wireless electricity to “power” the card. The range of that is limited without massive coils. You may be able to harness power from heat in asphalt (from traffic or sunlight beating on it), but I’d think that’d also be very limiting.

Better would be low power RF beacons set up at every transformer or every N utility poles. Something like BLE, maybe a little bit beefier. Power is readily available. They don’t require data. All they need to do is broadcast their exact location and time (which they can get from GPS receivers).

Well, to start, you need an old psychologist, and a young psychologist.

And probably several psychology grad students.

And then you can have a scientific study.
