This is a fantastic read and a great explanation of how this can happen. You’ve come a long way and made it out the other side.

Any chance they accept gift cards or a temporary Visa you can charge up? If not, that would be a bummer.

Thank you to everyone involved for all that you do!

Keep up the great work.

The problem is where you said “as long as” because we already know companies AND the AI itself can’t be trusted to not expose sensitive info inadvertently. At absolute best, it’s another vector to be breached.

“The market” (stocks) has been and will continue to be divorced from reality but to play devil’s advocate, Tesla and it’s investors consider it “more than just a car company”. It’s still ridiculous, but that’s the market for ya.

While odd looking to some of us, they were actually right. That’s 56,000 “millions” or 56,000 x 1,000,000 = 56 billion. A mind blowing amount of cash.

Great find, saving these.

I’ve found it pretty easy to avoid with a bit of curation but I understand they’re a “necessary” evil that comes with every major user migration.

Yet, annoyingly, much of the press still uses it to disseminate news.

I understand journalism is in a rough spot these days and many are there against their will but something needs to change abruptly. This slow exodus is too slow for democracy to survive '24.

We dug those up years ago though, I have one framed from Alamogordo.

Finally someone who understands the nuance here.

You’re naive to think it’s just starting now.

They hated him for he spoke the truth…

RIP legend. He always acted his ass off, every role.

Fair points, but I’d imagine any single person attempting what you propose would automatically fear for their lives, becoming a huge target. That certainly would be the hero move though.

Oh the irony of you telling us to read when you literally can’t figure out that yes, I was talking to YOU. When I said “your first post” it meant yours not the OP. Look in a mirror.

If it takes three paragraphs and your specific voting location to explain why your vote “technically” won’t go to 45, maybe those people are right. The problem is that there are a LOT of people that don’t understand the nuance and we have to plan for the lowest common denominator, otherwise people in actual swing states will see posts like your first one (lacking any explanation) and run with it. For them, a third party vote actually is helping 45.

Additionally, there’s a decent argument to be made about total votes even though they don’t “technically” decide the president. That number still matters and a lot of weight is thrown around with it. For all we know, this whole thing could hit the courts and having every advantage may be necessary to save our future.

Teleconference chat at 2400 baud was something else.

Appreciate all you do.
