It’s not super comforting knowing that politicians can become brain dead and their day-to-day functioning in government doesn’t change at all.

That the person they belong to is a dick.

When it was formed

Their car was nearly totaled. It’s possible there were parts of the deer somewhere, but my wife, police, and tow truck driver weren’t able to find any.

How old are your folks?

My parents hit a deer at 40mph with their Forester and it turned into pink mist. The only “mass” left of it was just a head. I have no doubt the CT is not as safe as regular vehicles, but I don’t think the outcome of object getting hit by something at 75mph is going to be an indicator of safety.

Right. Behind in the polls against the Republican candidate.

Either I’m confused or perhaps you are. Bernie Sanders, while he happily had my vote a while back, is far past the need to retire. Hunter isn’t running for politics, and El-Sayed is behind in the polls. How are any of these people supposed to help?

He has set the precedent that presidents and their families can not only continue to run businesses while in office, but make governing decisions that lead to profit for those businesses. Oh, and getting payments for advertisements from the Resolute desk, and putting up paid advertisements on government property. Oh, and punish federal funding to states, companies, Universities, etc. for not following his executive orders, which are not laws, but are being treated as such.

The only way to remedy this, I figure, is to have a democrat in office do every. single. thing. he is doing in office, until each thing has a law created by the other branches of government to make it illegal going forward.

I think the main issue for insurance companies here is that the $1 Trillion savings would be going to everyday people.

The advantages are starting your car remotely in the hot or cold months to pre-cool/preheat the cabin, defrost the windows, etc. and let the engine warm up for a couple of minutes.

I don’t fully buy into the ‘both sides are the same’ argument. I do believe the two parties are not different enough though. Basic shit like universal healthcare, civil rights, taxing the wealthy by closing loopholes, etc. should be what the left is doing in my opinion.

Hasn’t drone warfare been in use in other conflicts for several years now (I’m thinking of Ukraine but maybe there are other examples)? Why hasn’t the military developed a solution to this yet? Where did the multiple trillions of our taxpayer dollars go if that spending wasn’t used to prepare for modern warfare?

I agree with you on all points. We shouldn’t be there. Cut the military budget in half. We don’t truly need that large of a military presence. We have nukes as a defensive deterrent.

Because they are complicit. The two parties are not the same, they differ on a few dozen topics, of which the public is acutely aware. For the other 1,000,000+ issues, they are either in agreement or are complicit in Republican ideology.

I think it’s a valid argument. For example, if someone wants to read Shakespeare but they aren’t a strong reader, you could provide a simpler version, while acknowledging it isn’t as originally intended. It allows for accessibility for a larger audience while not changing the experience for others. You wouldn’t tell someone to read a different story genre instead. This isn’t tools, where we have to bend the laws of physics, it’s changing some numbers in a database, and something already done for higher level difficulty settings, so just allow a version that is easier. No one is forcing anyone to play it that way.

Linux desktop is in a great position now. I’ve been using it long before it was usable for most casual users, but it’s finally reached the point where it has less problems than Windows for my purposes.

Doesn’t matter what his reasons were to wipe the device, that’s the point of privacy, not to hide criminal activities.

Flock cameras are not LPR cameras. They are regular security cameras, with server-based AI. They even show demos to potential customers showing how the their product can search for specific people based on clothes, animal types, children/babies, strollers, carts, etc. across the entire country from one web-based interface. It’s all very Orwellian and I don’t think this issue either starts nor stops with Flock as a company. This type of surveillance is going to be ubiquitous regardless of what company(s) show up for making money from it.

Windows has been increasingly failing at being what an operating system is supposed to be. It’s supposed to bridge the gap between hardware and software, and facilitate the launching and management of applications. Instead, it’s spying on users, collecting private date, silently installing and running software by third-party accessories, displaying ads, etc. It is full of friction when trying to use it, for example, it can’t suspend or shutdown correctly, it’s full of vulnerabilities, etc. …And then there’s Copilot…
