That’s not idiots. That’s people that don’t make much money, hate their job, and saw an opportunity to leave with some change in their pocket while dumpster fire is just smouldering and not a full blown blaze yet.

I have an old desktop downclocked that pulls ~100W that I’m using as a file server, but I’m working on moving most of my services over to an Intel NUC that pulls ~15W. Nothing wrong with being power efficient.

If you have a laptop/something that runs off a battery, upower

The average is 99.

99 people scored 100. They’re above average.

That’s not necessarily true. If 100 people take a test and 99 of them score 100 but one person gets a 0, the average score is 99. But 99 people scored 100, so 99 people are above average, and only 1 is below average.

Just think about the fact that 100 years ago everyone in the world could not get get out of season fruits and vegetables unless you grew them yourself and probably needed a greenhouse.

No tomatoes, no strawberries, no blueberries.

It’s why preserves and fermenting were such a huge thing. Through our history humans have invented tons of methods to keep food edible during times of less abundance.

Now there’s a world wide logistics network just so someone can have a fresh tomato in their salad in January.

Secede. That’ll teach 'em.

You said it! Shifting right, right?!

Trump’s numbers didn’t stay the same. Despite winning the popular vote, Donald trump had 2 million less voters than in 2020. That’s a hefty chunk.

It just doesn’t matter, because 15 million other voters also didn’t show up.

I think it’s that this L forces the Democratic Party to lean back left with their campaign promises, and whatever power they have left to affect policy.

Yeah, that’s what everyone thought after 2016 as well.

Would be nice if he put his money where his mouth is. He’s 81 years old, but I bet he’s still gonna show up Tuesday.

Throughout his congressional campaign in 1974, Gingrich was having an affair with a young volunteer. An aide who worked with Gingrich throughout the 1970s stated that “it was common knowledge that Newt was involved with other women during his marriage to Jackie.”
…
In September 1980, according to friends who knew them both, Newt visited Jackie in the hospital the day after she had undergone surgery to treat her uterine cancer; once there, Newt began talking about the terms of their divorce, at which point Jackie threw him out of the room

In 1993, while still married to Marianne, Gingrich began an affair with House of Representatives staffer Callista Bisek, more than two decades his junior.[278] Gingrich was having this affair even as he led the impeachment of Bill Clinton for perjury related to Clinton’s own extramarital affair.[279][128] Gingrich filed for divorce from Marianne in 1999, a few months after she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

My stepmother was doing her undergrad (and a few years later her law degree) from the University of West Georgia when he was a professor of history there and had started his first congressional campaign. She said literally every woman in school was aware of his affairs with students.

Moral decay in 2024? This is just yet another year of accusations fueled by projection from the right.

“Mr. Walz what is your position on student loan forgiveness?”

“Stop DOTs”

“Interesting. What do you think the escalating border issues?”

“Many whelps. Handle it.”

All North American congressmen? Hah! Checkmate librulz!

Who doesn’t have time for a hot dog?!

That has been the case since 2016.

“the bullet”

The creation of Israel, and the US aided Iranian coup of 1953 both happened a couple decades before Carter.

Those seeds were planted and had been growing for a while.
