Astronomy Cast

well it’s a six inch display so presumably it’ll be a lot cheaper. maybe designed with an always-on display. And the UI optimized for home oriented stuff. could be interesting.

TIL Snow Leopard is retro.

this could be very sensationalist because as far as I know, we have no idea what the absolute numbers are, the trend is measured in percentages:

Numbers represent search interest relative to the highest point on the chart for the given region and time. A value of 100 is the peak popularity for the term. A value of 50 means that the term is half as popular. A score of 0 means there was not enough data for this term.

So it’s true that the peak is today, but that could be only a few people. Considering most of October the daily number was “0” (not enough data), I’m guessing the absolute numbers are fairly low. Anyone know how many datapoints google needs to publish data on trends?

the county trends in PA WI and MI compared to 2020 are looking bad. don’t get your hopes up.

what specific facts were down voted?

the county trends in swing states compared to 2020 are extremely discouraging.

this ain’t happening folks. fuck.

Republican counties, with their fewer number of citizens, always report first. Rural areas are easier to count. Democrat counties, which tend to be urban, have far larger numbers and report later.

the problem is trump is over performing in those counties relative to 2020.

yeah so hilarious that this demented old shitbag has the nuclear codes, power to further strengthen the corrupt SCOTUS and larger judicial system, completely dismantle what little progress we could have hoped for with climate change, gut the federal govt of anyone who may oppose him, is buddies with Putin and Netanyahu, etc etc.

it’s more of a panic over county margins compared to 2020 that they’re showing on TV.

…because modern smartphones to a shit ton more than pre-2007. if you want your phone to do more, as most people do, yeah, they are going to use more engery. it’s hardly a con pulled on us.

modern smartphones are extremely efficient for what they do, to the point that Apple decided to redo their computer architecture based on their phones. their baseline laptops don’t even need fans they are so energy and heat efficient.

where do you see that?

hoping it’s roe v wade related.

why do we need batteries to last more than a day? plug in at night, job done. Any more capacity is just a waste of precious battery materials and extra bulk to carry around for no reason.

If you’re a special case who for some reason has to go multiple days away from a charger, you have portable battery banks now.

honest question, are we not wary of how republicans would operate with no filibuster?

50 is also big for confirming judges.

why bother voting if you think it’s rigged and going to storm the capital anyway?

but there are even nonviolent ways they can intimidate people that is against the law.

Intimidating conduct can take many forms. For example, courts have found the following conduct to constitute unlawful intimidation:

…efforts to closely follow, monitor, or surveil voters at polling places

and improper threats of potential criminal prosecution, arrest, or other legal action.

not to mention the mere presence of such a notorious group may be intimidating, it’s like an unspoken threat. I certainly would not feel 100% comfortable with them there - would you?
