But do people like “her” content? Like, I’ll be honest, radio mid day to me is very much a “spin some hits and good jams and don’t talk over everything or interrupt” kind of thing. I don’t want a DJ talking over or between tracks other than the occasional mention of what the song was. A number of stations I’ve frequented in the past were literally just a DJ’s playlist with ads interjecting every so often.

Because no judges died during his reign… they’re lifetime appointments.

Thing is, they don’t have the same opportunities. The one reason why trump has been able to push things through in this shitty manner, is because the Republicans have stacked the Supreme Court (because the holes from people dying got filled while Republicans were in power) and they have majority control of Congress.

Much of what Trump has “undone” wasn’t undone legally. Many of the things he did requires congress to rollback and other things are caught up in courts. But in the mean time they happened so it will be potentially unable to be put back even if it is ordered so.

Cool thing is that Poverty isn’t just money:

Fundamentally, poverty is a denial of choices and opportunities, a violation of human dignity. It means lack of basic capacity to participate effectively in society. It means not having enough to feed and clothe a family, not having a school or clinic to go to, not having the land on which to grow one’s food or a job to earn one’s living, not having access to credit. It means insecurity, powerlessness and exclusion of individuals, households and communities. It means susceptibility to violence, and it often implies living in marginal or fragile environments, without access to clean water or sanitation.

There are plenty of other definitions, but they all revolve around these things: food, clothing, shelter, clean water and air, etc. All basic human needs.

Why? This is literally voting with your wallet, a cornerstone of Capitalism. If I look at my options and decide not to do either, I can do that as well. This is how the world works. Always has. Compare your options, make your choice.

It’s always a value proposition. If I feel like a game is a better value/ROI that whatever else I was going to spend my money on, I’ll still get the game.

Sure, I’ll have more limited number of purchases due to having a cap on discretionary spending, but if it costs more for all options, it’s different math that games being more than, say, a night out or a movie or whatever. I can easily say, I’d rather spend $45 for a few beers and dinner with friends than an $80 game, but if I get 100+ hrs of enjoyment out of a game and that dinner goes up to $80 as well, the game makes more sense. Or maybe having them over for some couch coop and we just get a sixer from the store instead.

Everyone will make this decision differently and that’s okay.

Oh the flip side, I have a Bazzite desktop rig running Proton/Steam for gaming and a PS5 and Switch. I’m not in the market for an Xbox and havent bought one since the OG… so I’ll just keep not buying their stuff I guess? I feel like boycotting things I’m not buying anyway doesn’t really send a message.

All the bills around here for natural gas are measured in CCF. “Hundred Cubic Feet” (centum cubic feet, but Latin is hard or something). I’d gladly take cubic meters instead. But then I quite like Metric.

Two European-based cloud service companies, Exoscale and Elastx, tell WIRED they have seen an uptick in potential customers looking to abandon US cloud providers over the last two weeks

Are these any good? Are there others? As an American, I’m 100% on board with getting my digital footprint out of this country and into the EU somewhere, so I’d love to know!

It’s become very popular. Jaguar, Lexus, Audi, they’ll use glues at some point. So I’m very surprised. It’s not as if it’s an unknown science. I’ve not heard [of problems] anywhere else.”

Yeah, none of those brands are trying to be cheap as shit death traps though.

I also find it fun how i heard this morning that it hasn’t even been fixed in production yet.

So glad we’re destroying the environment and GPU market for this.

So. the FTC doesn’t have enough people now to do its job… great planning there.

Except it’s likely on purpose so they won’t have enough people to look into this and other large cases against corporations that might impact the people buying out the government.

While it wasn’t necessarily pretty and had its share of glitches, I quite enjoyed Arceus. It was a nice break from the standard patterns it’s fallen into.

Course I say that as someone who also enjoyed Sword and Shield after a skipping a few prior.

Graphics definitely aren’t everything, but they could stop it With the half finished games with glitches.

Elon Musk is probably the single worst thing for Tesla. Sure the FSD that drives into trains and lakes and people is a problem, but you can potentially fix or mitigate that with OTA updates and recalls.

If the Tesla board was smart, they’d fire Elon as before he tarnishes the brand even further.

In about 1 in 10,000 who get sick with measles and recover from it, the virus lies dormant in the brain for about a decade. It then can reactivate, causing a severe, progressive dementia called subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, which is fatal within one to three years.

There is no treatment or cure for the disease. I have seen a couple of suspected cases of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, and none of these patients survived, despite our best efforts.

Unless you have a legit reason, Give your kids the vaccine, people! Do you want your kid to die a horrible death? Or feel groggy for a day or two and then live a normal healthy life? What the hell is wrong with people?

Sounds like a health problem.

My dead grandmother use to tell me stories about the bank account information of everyone in my neighborhood…

It’s easier to roll out if no one can saturate it!

Perfect!
