That’s not what I said, not even close.

That doesn’t apply to Senate and Presidential races though.

Trump’s vote was largely static. He didn’t add significant support in any way.

That’s my point. Trump is a known quantity now and he didn’t lose support. That’s a failure of the US electorate.

Ask yourself why Harris had to run a near perfect campaign to even stand a chance of winning while Trump ran a campaign that should’ve seen him lose badly, in a more informed and moral country, and still won.

For once I disagree with Bernie.

You can blame the DNC for being useless and out of touch but they always have been, nothing changed there. You can blame them for their shitty messaging and not listening to the concerns of working people … ditto.

What changed in this election is that millions of people, who know Trump is a a liar, a criminal, a rapist, a narcissist … I could go on and on. Well, they decided to vote for him because none of those negative traits were sufficiently off-putting.

This was a test of the collective character and morality of the nation and the United States failed that test miserably. Put it down to a poor standard of public education, Russian/Iranian/Chinese propaganda, accelerationism, racism, misogyny, whatever mix of reasons you’re comfortable with. Could the DNC have done better? Absolutely. Would the DNC doing better have won the election for Harris? Probably not, given the margin of victory.

See, this is why I rent.

Grabbed, thanks for the recommendation.

Funny though, at least in the only thing of his I’ve seen.

He was good in Avenue 5.

The female body has ways of shutting that whole thing down.

Numbers are so 1940’s, I thought they might have moved to QR codes by now.

I’d like to turn him off now.

Just as well. If you turn him on he offers to buy you a pony.

Braking during impact is the worst thing you can do.

This is not correct, where are you getting this from?

Deer on the road is an edge case that humans cannot handle well.

If I’m driving at dawn or dusk, when they’re moving around in low light I’m extra careful when driving. I’m scanning the treeline, the sides of the road, the median etc because I know there’s a decent chance I’ll see them and I can slow down in case they make a run across the road. So far I’ve seen several hundred deer and I haven’t hit any of them.

Tesla makes absolutely no provision in this regard.

This whole FSD thing is a massive failure of oversight, no car should be doing self driving without using cameras and radar and Tesla should be forced to refund the suckers customers who paid for this feature.

And then actually shooting something into the sun is harder than just blasting it out of the solar system.

This is fun to play with: https://trinket.io/embed/glowscript/6642756b52?toggleCode=true&start=result

I recently moved to Affinity Photo with no complaints but I’m not a power user.

Maybe clinics should start mailing out Faraday pouches ahead of appointments?

I’m sure they don’t need the extra expense but this is fucked up.

It’s way cheaper to build storage than new nuclear.

Posting this again because some people don’t realize just how expensive nuclear really is.

Shit take. They’re not bombing Goldman Sachs or HSBC.
