My point is that Trump lies so often that it’s easy to forget to actually check on what you’re reporting. Like the first piece reported in that article… Yeah if someone sent you just that clip and you see him referring to the wrong State, you might just accept that and post it without looking at the rest of the rally and realizing he was referring to something else. It’s easy to forget that Trump isn’t always full of shit.

Cool, now do Trump. I want to see a comparison of how many times Trump has lied or misled followers to the number of times the Harris campaign has done this. I think if the numbers are 1:1 we can all agree it’s intentional. What if the numbers are 5:1? 10:1? At what ratio do we agree that mistakes were made by overzealous campaign staff? Without comparison numbers, this article is meaningless.

So creating stronger border security to stop drug trafficking is a bad thing? There are still ways for people to cross legally, and what you quoted acknowledges the need to fix immigration policy for allowing citizenship. Whataboutism is when you are comparing two identical issues. What you are doing is ignoring the extreme approach of one party and trying to make it sound like the other party is doing the same thing… In the US, Trump wants to deport or straight up kill immigrants, Harris is acknowledging that we need to stop the drug traffic while helping supporting immigration. In Palestine … yeah Biden is sending bombs and he’s an ass for that but Harris has at least stated that things need to change. Meanwhile Trump’s only statement on the matter is that they need to bomb the Gaza strip and make the problem go away. Do you really thing allowing Trump to get into office will help anyone except rich white people? Stein might have a different approach but under our current voting system there is no possible way she will get elected, so your only honest choice in the matter is voting for someone who has a stated policy of death, or someone who has at least admitted that we can do better.

The one where Democrats made deep concessions to Republican demands? The one where Republicans set most of the tone in the bill and then backed out because daddy Trump wanted immigration to still be an issue for the election?

You’re saying the Democrats, who are welcoming immigrants into sanctuary cities and fighting to protect the rights of legal immigration, are somehow also responsible for fear-mongering about immigrants? That’s an interesting take. What do you call it when Republicans are threatening to deport all legal and naturalized immigrants without any concern for the number of generational US citizens they will also deport because they had the wrong skin color?

According to Buttigieg they are waking up thinking “Oh shit I don’t want people talking about that… what other fucked-up shit can I spew to distract the rubes?”

Nice, I’ll have to remember that.

There’s been some discussion already. Also the fact that any time things go wrong for Trump, he starts firing people and blaming them for his own failures. I’m just sitting here watching with the popcorn.

Funny how he claims he somehow won this debate, and yet for some strange reason will be replacing his campaign staff. That’s not the actions of a winner. Maybe he should be taking a closer look at the real loser.

If you’re curious enough to get one, I’ve seen them on ebay as well. Might even be available on Amazon. I think they’ve been around for a couple years, I just got mine in April but still haven’t had time to fire it up and play with it.

Hmm I’m seeing a sale price right now, might be based off my order history though. I found another that has a standard price of $10.39, but all the ones I looked at are now also including a shipping cost around $4.50 so that jacks the price up even more.

All these taxes and tarrifs and what-not are really hurting people’s ability to get access to affordable items. I was looking at some solar panels right before the US added a tarrif to those items, so now I’ll wait to see what happens.

The board costs about $10, I have one on hand. Besides VGA and PS/2 ports, it also has an audio-out jack and a slot for SD cards. And if you want to compare specs, the ESP32 blows this away. Sure $1 sounds impressive, until you realize just how little you can do with it.

[Edit] Looks like the price has come down under $10 for this board now, here’s a link to get them from China.

So basically something like this only a whole lot LESS capable? Although if you specifically want to do RiscV coding then it does limit your options.

You doubt anything that was said here? This is all based on Trump’s own words and actions. He already tried a coup once, what makes you think he won’t do it again after learning from his previous mistakes?

Obviously cars shouldn’t be going around hitting pedestrians, and we stop when we’re able. My problem is more with the lack of common sense. This dog park I mentioned is out in the country, people are driving their cars to bring their pets here so they obviously have some idea of the time it takes for a car to stop. So why are they walking out from behind a fence and stepping directly into oncoming traffic without at least waiting for vehicle to see them and stop? Yes most people DO take this moment and are able to cross safely, but then you have someone who has no regard for their own safety and acts like they’re invincible.

Hard to say for sure. They may have legitimately found something, but my experience with McAfee products has been abysmal. The last time I dealt with it, someone had the full paid version of their virus scanner which was up to date but wasn’t finding anything. I ran the free version of AVG and found over 200 items (mostly trojans and other malware). Their research may be valid, but I certainly wouldn’t trust any of their software to find even widely-known issues.

Well here’s the conundrum… I could start a youtube channel showing stupid people, but what happens if it gets so popular that I no longer need to work? Then I won’t be able to get any new footage, my viewership would drop rapidly, and I’d have to get another job. It’s a vicious cycle!

I visited London in 2000 and was amazed how well the Tube worked there. At the time I could buy a 1-week pass for around $10US and get everywhere in the city. That’s great if you’re not going anywhere, but the US is a lot more spread out and many of us don’t have a choice about getting jobs in other cities, so it does change the dynamic quite a bit. The other problem is that our transit systems are just not efficient. I can get most places on a bus, but it takes twice as long. I already only have a few hours between the time I get home and when I go to bed, so it feels like quite a sacrifice to give up yet another 90+ minutes of what free time I have. If I worked in the same city and it only took 10-15 minutes to get anywhere via mass transit then yeah, I would have a very different outlook on things.

So yeah, #1 I’m in agreement with to some degree, with caveats for particular situations. For the people where mass transit is suitable, what we have is a disaster through poor planning, poor execution, and outright corruption, and it could be immensely better.

#2… Well maybe. I drove a car for 25 years but now drive an SUV because quite frankly I work on a lot of projects and am constantly grabbing wood or metal supplies. Wednesday I’ll be making a couple trips to get some hand-me-down computers for my department which are actually a nice upgrade for what I’ll be replacing. Meanwhile I’m also building a new utility trailer this Summer (and again has required picking up a lot of materials) to make it easier to haul those things that don’t fit in the SUV. No this doesn’t apply for most people, but some of us do actually use these vehicles for their intended purpose. I didn’t just go buy the largest obnoxious thing I could find, I picked one that fits in the garage but carries the majority of what I need.

#3… god yes! If you want that sort of off-road vehicle then keep it off road! Otherwise if you want to prove how small your dick is, steroids are cheaper.

#4… I work in a college town, I see kids at every light holding up traffic. Or weaving through traffic on the highway because causing an accident is worth getting one more car ahead.

I see a lot of people who ride bikes or walk around town, and there has been some efforts to add or improve the bike lanes. There have also been some spectacular failures at this, like taking one of the more major streets in town, cutting it down to a single lane so the other lane can be used for bikes with no separation but painted lines, and then gasping in amazement when the number of accidents increases. They did learn though, and now they’re moving bike lanes to raised paths so there’s some hope. We have a long ways to go to make infrastructure more friendly to other modes of transportation, but it would also help if employers started accepting the fact that a large number of jobs can be work-from-home so they would quit forcing everyone to drive without reason. Maybe some day we’ll get there.

Now there’s an oxymoron. Let me know when they can write a virus scanner that works.

You do realize that you’re making the false equivalency of a crowd of people walking across the street during a red light and active walk signal to someone blindly walking out in traffic? Are you also going to argue that people walking on a sidewalk in the middle of the block weren’t using their brains when a car drives into them?
