Is blue sky federated? I thought it was another closed garden. If slightly more open than Twitter.

No, it won’t change the minds of his base.

But there are people he wouldn’t consider his base, that also tend to vote conservative, who were actually offended by some of those jokes. And then realized that hey, Trump and company are white nationalists, and that means that no minority will be safe.

It’s a tiny minority of Trump supporters, but as close as this election could be, that’s more than enough.

Now, Trump is planning on stealing the election anyway. Via disrupting or delaying certification of votes past December 11th, Which then means that there will be incomplete slates of electors, which means the election goes to the House, and each State gets one vote instead of the house itself voting.

They’re going to try to use Section three of the 20th amendment.

If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President-elect shall have died, the Vice President-elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President-elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President-elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President-elect nor a Vice President-elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.

Fun times to live in…

That one came out of left field.

Trump was taking a premature victory lap, and hires a comedian to warm up the warm up the crowd, and the proceeded exactly like Trump wanted.

And then everyone suddenly wakes up and says wait, these hate spewing assholes are actually hate spewing assholes.

All because one comedian didn’t use the code words.

The definition is that Tesla is shit.

They’re selling a spotty lane assist as Self Driving when it is not.

Other companies are selling actual self-driving cars, (even if those companies are fucking up as well) but Tesla is nowhere near that level of autonomy. All because Musk cheaped out on the sensor package.

Teslas will never be self-driving, because they literally cannot detect the road and obstacles with just their little camera setup.

They should not be allowed to call it self-driving, or autopilot, or anything else that implies that you can take your hands off the steering wheel.

but you need to supervise it because you are both responsible and because it’s not perfect

Not self-driving then. Words have meanings.

Then it’s not “Full self driving”. It’s at best lane assistance, but I wouldn’t trust that either.

Elon needs to shut the fuck up about self driving and maybe issue a full recall, because he’s going to get people killed.

The actual answer is at vaporization temperature. Which the satellite did not reach.

I like vector pinball as well.

Eh, it’s honestly safer than you’d think. The size of the reactor plays a huge role in safety.

A reactor sized for a container ship would be literally incapable of melting down, because there just isn’t enough fuel to get to those temperatures. You could then limit the ship’s speed, and over build the reactor a bit, so that the reactor is never truly stressed during normal operation.

Then for refueling, you just remove the entire reactor and replace it with a new, fully fueled one every 10 years or so.

That’s where you want your controls.

Other than that, yeah it would be safer than oil. A crash just means your reactor casing gets wet.

The main worry is someone cutting into the reactor to take out the spicy rocks… and there are easier ways to get spicy rocks.

Windows has always had broken versions. The old advice was to always skip every other version.

NT, Millennium, Vista, 8… 10… 11… More misses than hits really. And the bad updates are turning hits into misses.

Bots building post history in an abandoned looking sub. Usually done to get access to some other sub.

With the right looking post history you can scam your way onto a surprising large number of moderation teams.

One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.

Did you know that Nelson Mandela was the leader of a literal terrorist organization?

He ordered attacks that killed people. That’s why he was in prison.

And every one forgave him, and even voted him into power.

All because South African Apartheid was fundamentally evil.

Israeli Apartheid is orders of magnitude worse than the South African version.

That makes it worse, not better.

Again, the context is important. Mostly that the Tunisian military refused to step in and support Wasalo, eventually forcing him to flee.

Asad on the other hand, is still very popular with his own ethnic group, and draws heavily from them to staff his military. Iran’s help just made things worse.

The start of the Syrian civil war had nothing to do with anyone except the Syrian people being pissed off at living under the most restrictive police state in the Arab world. There were protests after a mass arrest and subsequent torture of 15 teenage boys who had spay-painted some anti-government graffiti on some walls around the city.

Assad cracked down on the protests hard, which led to people saying, “fuck this shit, time for a revolution”.

Iran started helping Assad, and then the US started helping the rebels. And yeah it’s a shit show now. But no, it would have kicked off without outside help.

Trump is arguing that his twitter was “official communications”, and thus can’t be used in court. This means that the 34 felony convictions might go away now.

But the truth is that the Supreme Court didn’t say that every “official act” was immune from consequences. The more nuanced reading is that any act that the Court declares official is immune from consequences.

The Conservatives on the Court declared the president King, but only when they feel like it.
