Upset enough to send another $18 billion of bombs and crib-seeking missiles, I’ll bet.

“Superfund birdsite” I am shamelessly going to steal from you

I guess I just have to keep Windows 10 with a custom group policy that disables all updates either forever or until I learn Linux.

Linux gaming is getting to the point that I could consider the switch, but I hear scary stories about Nvidia drivers.

And who’s going to do that as long as the US extends endless military and financial support? Bibi slaughtered tens of thousands of children with nothing more than a furrowed brow at the State Department. We send Israel so many bombs that it exceeds our military transport capacity and we’re chartering private carriers for part of the load. At every turn, the US has confirmed to Israel that it can act with impunity and retain our guarantee of support.

I mean I probably wouldn’t hate my morning alarm so much

It’s not that much of an outlier. Nate Silver is tracking Trump’s lead in Florida across numerous polls at +3%. With leaners, this poll found +2%. Off the average by one point with a 3.5% margin of error. Which is to say, well in line with other results.

The article is sensationalistic and likely wrong in portraying that as a toss-up or close to tied. Trump won Florida in 2020 by +3%. A result that suggests he has a similar lead suggests that he’ll win by about as much as he did in 2020.

Silver has seven recent polls that inform the Florida average. Not a single one shows Harris ahead. Trump has also outperformed his polling in both of the last two contests, so his actual lead in Florida may be greater than the polling average suggests, but there is nothing to suggest Harris is ahead or likely to pull ahead.

Trump is likely to win Florida. The race still hinges primarily on Pennsylvania. Harris is not gaining ground. The race is locked in essentially a dead heat, with a tiny edge for Harris if you believe the polls and a tiny edge for Trump if you believe he’ll again outperform the polls.

I detest these articles and the conspiratorial side of me thinks they’re planted by the right to encourage complacency among Democratic voters. This election is as close as they come and requires everyone to show up and vote.

It’s amazing how good Microsoft is at making money relative to how bad they are at making products.

The people who want this have their money in Raytheon and Halliburton. So, in a way, they are putting their money where their mouth is.

I’m sure it’s technically possible to reverse engineer the software, but there are also “dumb” chargers that require no software or app. They’re more reliable and cheaper, and there’s no risk of being locked out when a company stops supporting its software.

Me too. They had an old address I lived at five years ago. I’m shaking, I’m shaking.

Check with Intel, not whoever you bought the chip from. They extended the warranty and will replace bad chips. For most models I believe it was extended from 1 to 3 years.

The purpose of the ED is to make sure you’re not actively dying and then refer you to a specialist who books three months out.

There is a huge gap in American medicine between the ED and the doctor’s office. You might spend weeks or months in severe pain or discomfort waiting to be seen by someone who can treat you. The ED docs are just there to stabilize you and send you on your way.

I’m just barely old enough to recall when Sir Mixalot alleged that Jane Fonda does not have a motor in the back of her Honda. I agree that she is not likely to make strong inroads with Gen Z.

Alito is a rancid cyst on American democracy. Jail me, clown.

It was hard for Republicans to compete with The Onion’s devastating exposé alleging that Walz’ “aw, shucks” persona is merely a facade concealing his true “gee whiz” tendencies.

No, I condemn all attacks against civilians. Hard to imagine, I’m sure, for someone who sees only one belligerent’s citizens as human.

But I am pointing out the ludicrous misrepresentation of history that Hezbollah “started” any aspect of this conflict. Hezbollah was created in response to Israel’s invasion of Lebanon. Israel invaded Lebanon because the PLO was launching attacks on Israel from southern Lebanon. The PLO was in Lebanon and before that in Jordan because they were driven out of their native homeland and made refugees due to the colonization of Palestine.

There is no aspect of this conflict that does not tie directly back to the violent disappropriation and explusion of the Palestinian people from their land. The conflict is and has always been about theft of land and homes, which continues unabated through the present day.

The “fight” started with the colonization of Palestine, the theft of indigenous land, and the expulsion of half the native populace. Naming a random date or event in the past couple of years as the “start” of this conflict is brazenly dishonest.

Every year, Israel expands its land seizures in occupied Palestine, but for some reason you don’t count that as sustaining hostilities. Sounds an awful lot like you’re willing to excuse Israeli terrorism while holding others to a different standard.

The states she needs are all on a knife’s edge. She’s polling slightly better after the debate but things could easily revert over the next seven weeks. This election will be decided by turnout. I get frustrated with these articles proclaiming she’s ahead in a single poll with a result that’s inside the margin of error. Harris needs to beat both Trump and complacency.

If you can do a good thing for women’s rights and simultaneously piss off terrible people, well, that’s just a win-win situation.

Superbly written article. The author distills the conflict very accurately.
