If we got through WWII, with troops scattered around the world, without canceling elections or even disenfranchising the soldiers fighting overseas, he has no excuse. (How did a solider in France, a sailor in the Philippine Sea, or a marine on Leyte Island vote? Mail-in ballots.)

20 years on (yes, 20), that opening theme still gets me hyped up. I was really expecting the Battlestar to jump away from the missile in the last shot.

OK, but elections are run by states, not the federal government, and the GOP has worked to defang the FEC, so I don’t know how he actually plans to make this happen.

Donald kept talking, so Vlad told him to catch a bubble.

“Can I get a sundae?”

“Sorry, the VM is broken.”

“live” didn’t make it onto the list, I see.

Made from vegetarian cows.

What’s the point in negotiating a budget if they’ll renege on any concessions they give you with a rescission bill like they did with the public broadcasting money?

If you took the highlighter tool and changed the color to black, it may default to semitransparent. It’s useful if you’re trying to highlight something in fluorescent yellow.

What’s not to love about print-on-demand pancakes?

Apple is generally allowed to do business, or not to do business, with whomever they want. If they were promoting their own AI over an outside competitor’s, they may be subject to an anti competition lawsuit, but if you’re saying OpenAI is paying Apple to promote ChatGPT, then your complaint would be against OpenAI. If you’re saying Apple is recommending ChatGPT on their own volition, well, then, that’s their First Amendment right.

Can’t believe I’m defending Apple promoting ChatGPT, but, really, I’m saying Musk probably has a baseless case that’s going to do nothing but make the lawyers rich.

That’s not a very good job of redacting the names. The boxes aren’t fully opaque, I can read the names through them.

In my day, the RJ-11 jack was for connecting the keyboard, not the phone line.

Early PC only had 5 card slots, and the only jack on the motherboard was the keyboard. One slot is going to be used by a video card, one’s probably being used by a hard drive controller, one’s probably used by a parallel + serial card. Soundcards also included controller ports to try to save a slot.

The fact that a majority of voters did not want Trump to win makes me simultaneously feel happy (that I’m not surrounded by idiots) and more depressed (that the Electoral College has screwed us AGAIN!)
