Pritzker has been very outspoken about defying national orders, and even protecting the vulnerable in other states.

I’m not surprised he’s leading the charge.

I thought he was going to be another shit governor in a long line of shitty Illinois governors, but this guy is knocking it out of the park.

The supreme court has no ability to enforce their decisions. The states can and have ignored their orders in the past.

If an order comes back that’s blatant enough, there will be pushback.

The states control the elections, enough of them could literally just refuse to put him on the ballot.

Yup, sometime in the next year or two I’ll get laid off, then I’ll just mooch off my spouse.

Because no matter how prepared I think I am, there’s always at least one item on the ballot I didn’t expect to see.

I can sit down at my computer and look up everything on my ballot and make better informed decisions in the comfort of my home. I can lean over and ask my spouses opinion on what they’re voting for and we can decide what we want to do. In the end we each make our own decision, but at least we can discuss it.

I have a QR code on my envelope that shows that I can track my ballot from end to end and ensure that it’s where it is supposed to be. If it never arrives, I can go vote in person and have a provisional ballot to ensure I didn’t vote twice.

There’s a saying you might want to get familiar with

“If everywhere you look, all you see is assholes, maybe you’re the asshole.”

it’s much harder to prove because the official acts part also includes all the evidence and testimony needed to prosecute.

So if you can’t use evidence from official communication to prove that the treason happened. That makes the prosecution of presidents very difficult. It’s going to be extremely difficult for a prosecution to tell a coherent story to a jury without including any “official” acts as part of the crime.

Oh, he claimed it was still stolen in 2016. He says that he won by so much more, but the Democrats stole enough votes to make it look close.

D) Move manufacturing and other dirty processes off planet and live here.

There was a spike in crime during the early 2020’s, but aside from that, you are correct.

Crime has steadily been going down ever since we removed lead from gasoline. (are those things related? Probably?)

Schwarzenegger put out a few videos post Jan 6th that made me respect him so much more.

He’s certainly made some mistakes in his past, and he’s not a perfect person, but damn, that guy really has a solid moral compass.

According to a US Army study, Iron and Tungsten could create galvanic action, causing both materials to degrade if in contact.

So at first glance, it seems like this combo wouldn’t last as long as it could with just Tungsten.

You misread, I specifically said that Earth doesn’t have enough mass for that.

First - The major problem with trash isn’t the getting rid of it part, it’s the gathering it up part. If we could do that, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Second - Launching things on a rocket is kinda dangerous still, there’s a risk the rocket will blow up on launch, scattering the material across a large area. This is a big reason why things like nuclear waste is a problem to transport in general, much less flying it somewhere.

Third - Launching something into the SUN is really hard, it would be easier to send something out of the solar system than back into the sun.

Fourth - Someday we’ll figure out a use for everything, wall-e style. If we dump everything into a centralized landfill, we’ll eventually be able to collect/sort/recycle it into something useful. Throwing it into the sun (or off-planet) would make that stuff unavailable forever.

Finally - Throwing stuff into the sun would actually get rid of it forever, yes. It would be completely decomposed into the atoms it was made from. If we threw ENOUGH heavy metals into the sun, we could actually poison the sun making it not able to fuse hydrogen anymore, but even if we threw the entire earth into the sun, it wouldn’t be enough.

If you use a web email account, just create a draft email and don’t send it. Then log into your email account on the other device and read it there.

This shows that AI isn’t an infallible machine that gets everything right — instead, we can think of it as a person who can think quickly, but its output needs to be double-checked every time. AI is certainly a useful tool in many situations, but we can’t let it do the thinking for us, at least for now.

No, it’s not “like a person who can think.” Unless you mean it’s like an ADHD person who got distracted halfway through the transcript and started working on a different project in the same file.

The current generation is now showerthoughting the same thing people used to say about credit cards.

No, then we would have no way to send astronauts to space, and no way to reliably and cheaply send satellites up.

Force him to divest from spacex.

I open the picture on my computer, then screenshot it before uploading.

That removes any association with the original picture without relying on any exif stripping that might miss a hash or weird embedded info.

You think he’s happy? Dude is fucking miserable.
