And this criticism of ‘the greens only show up every 4 years’ is in bad faith. The greens run in other elections as well, you just only hear about the presidential elections because that’s the only time they get some media attention.

This list has a bunch of school board members, city councillors, even a mayor on it. They do run in local elections, and even win sometimes.

Earnings is different from profits.

Isn’t that basically the point of the extension? Making sure you’re not tricked into watching BS content?

This might actually be one of the few things AI could be used for. ChatGPT could download the transcript and just build a short summary.

Although chances are you’re just replacing one shitty thing with a different shitty thing.

And Reagan was a criminal as well. He just got Ollie North to take the fall and leaned into his dementia to play the poor victim.

Yeah, you’d snag the wire or slightly bend the connector and then you were just playing a game of making sure it stayed plugged into the exact right angle.

He got rid of everyone else when he took over, he’s still dealing with court cases about how he handled that.

Having worked with designers in an ad agency (although not a designer myself), the male designers didn’t ever have a good thing to say about the work of any of the female designers. Consequently, none of them stuck around for long (one of them is a creative director in a big agency now, so presumably she wasn’t that bad).

Then again, they were assholes in many other respects as well, and the guys in the next companies I worked for were a lot better.

Or back in the days where Google Reader was a thing, one request from them could represent millions of readers.

Yep, handing out a flyer, or even just talking is an engagement. This means nothing.

Since HEART has launched, the county has engaged with roughly 215 people on the street, according to the commissioner.

So in 2 years they spent $3 million dollars to “help” 215 people. And the article is very vague and full of euphemisms that make me suspect they’re just pushing them out to Denver.

That’s probably exactly what happens. Or they get a bus ticket to the nearest big city that does have some services, after which conservatives can rail about how the city has become a hellhole that’s full of homeless people.

If they’ll let you.

Have you considered only backing up the data you can’t replace relatively easily? I would look into a strategy of periodically backing up the list of media in a format that can easily be imported into Radarr or whichever system you used to acquire them. Sure, if the worst happens it’ll take forever to redownload, but you can just prioritise the things you want to watch right now while everything’s rebuilding in the background.

Definitely do back up photos, documents and your home directory (excluding stuff like a steam library), but hopefully you should be able to fit all that on a NAS or external HD.

The problem is that once one manufacturer starts doing this, they’ll all do it, so you won’t even have the option of buying a new car without a subscription.

If you use a case like most people do it makes sense.

I personally haven’t had to touch it in over a decade, but I guess there’s probably some uses for it still, yeah.

Apology accepted

The spoilers look like crap on connect too. The bot takes a huge amount of screen real estate. I wouldn’t mind it as much if it was like 2 lines instead, but it takes up a whole screen.

CNN isn’t left by any stretch. It’s corporate friendly that pays lip service to some liberal culture war issues.
