Depends on whether or not it acquires a supermajority when being voted on.

Yeah, RISC is good.

Imo the main addition to that console is that face tracking made the 3d work properly.

I think that has more to do with ending production on the LX Platform Challenger / Charger tbh. They haven’t quite managed to gather the same hype among domestic car nerds with their replacements as those old boats had.

Damn, it’s fucked enough that even the neoliberal thinktanks are starting to get spook.

You know what they say about people who live in glass houses…

That’s a surprisingly narrow definition.

So do you look at something like a Studebaker Commander Coupe and go “well obviously that’s modern”?

The divide at that point becomes a class one, where the quality varies intensely by how rich each individual town is.

The pain comes when a struggling town can barely fund its own schools and the assistance coming from the top down to keep the lights on gets cut.

You guys are getting helpdesk jobs?

That’s the same thing they’d say to a cancer patient.

Every so often I hold a microsd card and I think about how much storage is on that pinky-nailed sized $20 device. Compared to ancient hard drives it is one of the few things that makes me remember “oh shit I live in the future”.

That or we’d overspec into stem education and neglect humanities until we get a whole generation of genius niche engineers who will sit down and gladly explain the most eugenicist viewpoint you’ve ever head from a living human in your entire life the moment you ask them a single question related to social issues…

Oh wait.

Giving them more than two senators might lead to a senate that isn’t perpetually gridlocked. That makes them dangerously close to being able to pass progressive legislation instead of nothing but mandatory funding bills with 37 pages worth of riders and pork.

History books are written at a state level actually, you can thank the lost-causers for that one.
