Very cool. I haven’t even thought of dillo in years.

The Constitution is pretty clear that trump doesn’t qualify for the office, yet here we are. It’s freaking insane watching this happen in my lifetime.

The middle class gets a wealth tax, but the top people don’t. Freaking wealth tax above <whatever>. This current state of affairs is ridiculous.

Now he can get back to praising the journalist-killing Saudis.

I listened to the samples there and they seem decent. I’m interested in how the voices feel after listening to an entire book, but I’m not willing to put in the time to find out myself. Maybe because of crappy TTS experience in the past.

I’m in northern OC. Along the route. I found this nursery, https://californianativeplants.com/, out on the Ortega Highway out of San Juan Capistrano and they have fantastic California natives and knowledgeable staff. They aren’t on the list, but they had the correct varieties last time I hit them up. I don’t own stock or anything, I just really like it, even though it’s a bit of a drive for me. They’ve set me straight on several things I had been doing wrong.

SoCal here too. A few years ago, the local nursery was giving out milkweed for people to plant in their gardens. We did that, then a couple of years later they apologized because they had given out the wrong type of milkweed, and it was actually worse than not having it at all. Pretty fucked up. Anyway, we used to see a ton of them come through, the last couple of years it seems like I see a couple dozen or so at best.

Triple D.

Freedom’s just another word

We (in the US) just elected a grifting, criminal “billionaire”. I don’t think the animosity so loudly and gleefully displayed in the reactions to the murder of this asshole insurance ghoul is representative of a newly heightened consciousness of wealth inequality. I hope that it is the start of something, but I’ve been disappointed in the public way too many times.

This is one of the dumber news articles I’ve seen recently. What a bunch of tools all around.

I don’t know if I’m alone on this, but I just bought the biggest 5400rpm HDD that was in my price range when I set up. Might notice the slower speed when doing a big data dump, but for streaming purposes you can run many 4k streams concurrently and the bottleneck would probably be your network speed before you hit a drive read bottleneck.

When you vote in a Nazi, expect Nazis to be validated.

Two others were more lightly injured in the struggle that one police source said had broken out around 8:00 am as the teenagers involved were on their way to secondary school.

It was not immediately clear what triggered the fight, in which weapons including the axe, a knife, a samurai sword and baseball bats were used.

Damn. I thought some US schools were rough.

Linus either makes me think he’s a dick, or he makes me laugh. Sometimes both. I liked his response:

Greg Kroah-Hartman who authored the patch dropping the various maintainers has yet to comment on the mailing list thread, but a few minutes ago Linus Torvalds chimed in with his opinion. Linux creator Linus Torvalds wrote:

"Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

It’s entirely clear why the change was done, it’s not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to “grass root” it by Russian troll factories isn’t going to change anything.

And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing.

If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too."

The Supreme Court went out of their way to dodge the 14th Amendment question. Both during questioning and in their ruling.

I still don’t get why trump hasn’t been disqualified under the 14th. Pretty fucking clear.

is unknown as CTE can only be definitively diagnosed after death.

So you didn’t look at the second link, the diagnosed after death part. Which was pretty definitive.

To be fair, I don’t care if grown men want to brain damage themselves. I enjoy watching both boxing and MMA. I don’t think it’s something younger people should be doing though, the head striking at least. At the same time, I’m not going to fool myself that these people I’m watching aren’t damaging their brains.

I guess if you don’t like facts, what you said could be true.

• 345 out of 376 former players have CTE

• … the studies that aim to identify the prevalence of CTE in football players have shown unequivocal findings. In the largest ever case series of CTE, involving 202 deceased former football players, Mez et al. demonstrated the existence of CTE in 87%, including 99% ex-NFL Players

You aren’t practically guaranteed to have life changing injury from skydiving, drinking, or eating. Several studies have shown that over 90% of football players have CTE. It’s not the same, and not a question of moderation.
