Vance doesn’t have the rabid fanbase Trump has. The man has the charisma of a wet paper sack.

Trump might be able to pull off keeping the Oval Office. Vance will not.

Of course it has a rock face.

You’re not wrong there.

Sealioning is when someone pretends to be ‘just asking questions’ in good faith in an attempt to sow discord in a community.

It’s technically possible to administer Linux servers with a Nintendo DS.

…Not sure where I was going with that, except to say that you can, in fact, do just that with an actual toy.

Well sure, but that’s not the virus’s fault.

Yeah, you’re not wrong - I’m not counting on it, by any stretch.

But I can hope.

It’ll be far, far from the nail in the coffin, but we’re already seeing promising movement among what was normally staunch Trump supporters.

It’s only one avenue to follow though. We still have to do what we can wherever we can.

That’s because the TVs are subsidized by selling your stolen info.

That’s like preventing a disease from being used for political reasons.

As COVID, a virus that has zero political affiliation and infected nearly everyone equally, proved…

You can’t.

…are you seriously complaining like this about the use of the word ‘apopleptic’? It was one word, dude, let it go.

EA and Ubisoft are really duking it out for the first prize in the worst game company competition.

I bailed when they started banning people for upvoting Luigi content. I’d already drastically reduced my usage when the appocalypse happened and RIF no longer worked, but that level of panopticon shit was too much.

…Italians?

There’s an easy solution to that.

Seed something yourself.

Go buy a garage sale DVD of something that is semi-popular and doesn’t already exist on the private tracker, rip it, and post the torrent yourself.

'S what I did back when Underground Gamer still existed; I had a version of Mechwarrior 2 that didn’t already have a torrent, so I spent some time making a nice summary and uploaded it myself. Worked a treat; I had enough ratio to get me through my rough early weeks and never looked back. Until the site shut down, of course.

I even tried to migrate mine, and it failed. After deleting my Mojang account.

Tech support made a token attempt to help me and then gave up. So much for my capes, I guess…

It’s the House Rules Committee, and actually one Republican voted in favor.

I read recently of a variation of this. You play the game by intending to play it; you win when you forget you’re playing the game.

Thus, when you remember the game exists, you realize that you won!

There’s often a lot of fun cheats you can use - bitwise operators, etc - if your numbers are small powers of two.

Also it’s easier to organize memory, if you’re doing funky memory management tricks, if the memory you’re allocating fits nicely into the blocks available to you which are always in powers of two.

They’re not necessarily great reasons if you’re using a language with sufficient abstraction, but it’s still easier in most instances to use powers of two anyways if you’re getting into the guts of things.

The more progressive candidates win local elections, the more what constitutes “the Democratic party” changes.
