My guess is that at first it will be a first or second generation citizen. Someone who grew up in a Spanish speaking household.

And the right wing will spin it as “deporting the anchor baby”.

After the corrupt supreme court erases the 14th amendment, the gloves will come off.

Especially with the firing of the NSA director. The guy who was limiting Peter Theil’s spy company from having unlimited access to data collected on US citizens.

Well, security through obscurity never really did work

Wind and solar cannot set grid frequency.

They just can’t. You need a turbine to set frequency.

And yes, the grid frequency matters.

So yes, we will always need a base load. And what better way than a small modular reactor, keeping the grid local and modular.

Or we can build out so much wind and solar that we have to have massive transmission lines running across the country, and then we would still need to curtail that power during peak supply, while also not getting enough generation when solar and wind fail.

And then you still need a turbine to set the grid frequency.

2040 huh?

My prediction is a record number of new plants going online in 2040.

Especially as there are literal factories being built to specifically crank out Small Modular Reactors.

We’re looking at a future where every small town can have their own reactor, providing enough power for that town but not large enough to ever melt down.

Another distro that’s easy to get going for gaming is Garuda.

Also, the easiest way to switch to any distro is to get a USB drive and install a program called Ventoy. Then you throw your install iso onto the Ventoy drive, boot from USB, and you’re good to go.

As a tip, pick up an external drive large enough for your Steam library. Then in Steam, you right click on each game and select Manage/Back up game files.

Doing it this way will save you days of downloading.

XP might actually be somewhat safe to connect by now. Most of the viruses and worms have updated past it by now.

If you need an egg stand in, there’s the cheap plastic eggs. Which are available everywhere. So I too, doubt this story.

Funny you bring up that couple, because the lack of standards has a through line here.

A man named Roy Cohn was the prosecutor, and he wheeled and dealed to make sure that both Rosenbergs got the death penalty, even if the evidence was a bit weak, especially the evidence against Ethel. Cohn got witnesses to change their story so that he could push to kill Ethel.

Cohn then went on to help Joseph McCarthy run the Red, and Lavender Scares.

And then, later still, Roy Cohn would tutor Donald Trump in the art of personally attacking anyone who tried to enforce the law against him.

The piece of shit finally died of HIV,

Except Social Security is not in danger of bankrupting the government. Sort of.

See, Republicans have been raiding Social Security for petty cash for decades so that they could give rich assholes another tax break and still fund their endless wars.

But that money needs to go back. Whenever some asshole says that Social Security is x amount short, that’s money that’s owed to the American people,

I’m betting far more people want to see Trump strung up by his ankles, maybe he should bow to pressure there as well.

The Marquis de Condorcet wrote about the evils of Christianity back in the 1790s.

He wrote about how it was a tool of oppression, not just of the person, but of the mind and spirit.

And nothing has changed in the last 200 years.

Technically the Nazis lost that election, but the Conservatives who won turned around and handed power to Hitler, all to prevent the Left from gaining power.

Trump does intend to die in office. That’s the point. That’s his full plan.

But that death could be 10 years from now. Elections are pretty much over.

The only way this goes wrong for him is if he leaves office. He has no intention of allowing that to happen.

More than one test failed.

The Tesla failed the heavy rain and the heavy fog tests.

There’s zero excuse to fail either of those tests. But the Tesla killed the kid both times.

The wall test was just to show that the Tesla cannot put together optical clues.

The other two tests that the Tesla failed were more realistic. Heavy fog and heavy rain.

It failed both.

If your self driving car cannot handle weather, then it’s not self driving at all.

Actual lidar isn’t fooled by weather. Shitty optical only cameras are.

Measles also resets your immune system, making other illnesses deadly again.

Back in the day you’d survive Smallpox, then get Measles, then get Smallpox again.

These days, I guess it will be Covid and the Flu killing most people.

It’s doubtful that they killed him, he was just a kid when they took him. They have him squirrelled away somewhere, having gone through heavy indoctrination. Just waiting for the Dali Lama to die.

That hinges entirely on whomever holds the loan.

If it was one person, then no way. But it’s not just 1 person, it’s more than 100.

There are investment groups in that list, and ties to the Saudis and Russians.

The investment groups might be legally required to margin call if the stock price falls too far, but none of them will hold the full loan.

There is a heavy element of malice here, but lest we forget there’s also more incompetence than any other administration in history, even the first Trump admin.
