Dude's got nothing. No intelligence. No coherent theory of the case. No information that he has shared in a classified or non-classified setting. Just the slowly dawning realization that no one loves him. This is not the time for fear. Kick him while he's down. Cue the Mortal Kombat GIF.
@slims I don't have any serious ties that bind me to Tokyo so I do have that going for me.
The cost in comparison to the rest of Japan,, the summers, and the crowds, are what is driving me outward.
@cb_desu ah I see. what are you looking for ? Sendai has nature access going for it, while staying close to Tokyo but that’s about it for me.

We actually have a *tremendous* amount of proof about election interference by multiple countries, including Russia, China, and Israel.
Except.
a) It wasn't at the ballot box or in the counts, it was in the media, social and mainstream, and the PACs.
And.
b) It was pro-Trump propaganda.
These reason this is a very big deal is that these are the new Raptor 3 engines that were introduced in the last test Flight 12. In that instance there were also engine failures in flight.
These engines were supposed to be the answer to Starship underperformance and reliability issues, and it seems like that is not, at least so far, proving out.
The truly perplexing thing is that SpaceX has previously made a big deal about each launch. It has been very difficult to find out when the launch was planned with final notice only coming days ago and very underpromoted. Today it was only streamed for 30 minutes before the launch attempt by SpaceX and a few enthusiasts.
Feels like something major has changed in their PR strategy now that the company has gone public.

Trump claims an investigation found that people could “Change votes on a deep level that could not be detected even with a deep audit,” and that ,”There are 278,000 foreigners illegally registered to vote.”
This is just making up ish. There’s zero evidence of this. A reminder that Trump shut down not one but two of his own voter fraud commissions because they found no evidence of fraud, and that he filed 61 lawsuits after 2020 and lost all 61 because he could offer no evidence of fraud.
@mattblaze @ai6yr @cvvhrn My current lab has giant red buttons by each exit that say "room air purge" which I've never seen before and are so, so tempting. The only thing really stopping me is that I think it automatically triggers the fire alarm and when that happens in a lab building no one gets to turn it off except the fire department, after they fully check the building and I don't actually want my coworkers to hate me.
🕹️ Jack Tramiel and Atari
｢ Warner purchased Atari for a mere $28 million in 1976, mainly at the urging of [Emanual] Gerard. “That has to be the greatest acquisition in history,” said Donald Valentine, a California venture capitalist who was an initial backer of Atari. [Emanual] Gerard ousted [Atari founder Nolan] Bushnell and his associates and installed [then-CEO Raymond] Kassar ｣
I tried to find the official Income Guarantee policy on the Greens website, but its a nightmare to navigate, and every time I tried to find it using web search (a range of them), I kept being linked to pages that don't appear to exist anymore.
Can anyone link me to a canonical source there, or recent media article that accurately reports what it currently says?

@strypey Given that almost nobody in positions of power seems to give a toss about part a) I definitely have days when I think that burning it all to the ground is the best course.
It seems that the Business Idiots have manipulated the Public Idiots so completely they can't or won't separate the two spheres.

That's their goal, which is why it's important we don't play into it. Also, see the other 2 posts in the reply.
There are about 170 million registered voters in the US. Trump says they found 250,000 non citizens registered to vote. Even if these numbers were true — and given where they come from, I would not trust them — that’s about 0.15% and that sounds minimal. We should be so lucky as to measure anything with as complex a system as federal voting with a precision that’s better than that.
@j12t but do you really think his target audience understands basic math?
Also, to be honest, I don't understand the voter id problem. Ask for ID and if you don't have ID you get a provisional ballot that requires citizenship proof later.
This is done in vast majority of countries. We are talking about t tiny percentage here, make it a non-issue and move on to more important ones
New version of #Wikisource Export released just now. Nothing major changed. :-)
The next thing is to maybe stop advertising that people download PDF and Mobi formatted books! (That's contentious I know, and I'm not going to actually change anything.) These formats are generated from the #EPUBs and people can do that themselves locally — running #Calibre in the cloud is just so frustrating. (Not to mention that a Wikimedia site advertising Amazon's proprietary format is just wrong.)
Oh I guess I could've linked to https://ws-export.wmcloud.org :-P
This same syllogistic thinking underpins the economic doctrine of "meritocracy," which holds that markets are giant computers that process uncountable trillions of decisions we all make about what to buy and sell and at what price, seeking out the "correct" price for every commodity and also elevating the people who are best at allocating capital in ways that arrive at the best prices for the best goods.

@pluralistic every time I see this kind of argument, my first reply is "you know, using actual computer is both faster and more efficient", my second reply is "and it runs incredibly buggy crapware".
