I'd recommend doing some research into the 1960 election. JFK's election as a Catholic was a BFD. Same shit happened with Biden, just a bit more subdued.

These are not people who really believe that ideological differences are a problem; they just don't want to cede any control.

I guess you didn't get the memo that modern "Christianity" is about making money and looking down on others. I'd look up the exact chapter and verse, but as it doesn't exist, not much one can do.

Sure, but contrarian investment and bets are built into the system. Everyone wants to think they're the genius.

This week has been ... trying. My electrical system failed twice in my van, and I don't trust it to survive the night (luckily, I have good bedding that should negate the need to risk heat tonight). But it's only 17.00 and I'm already down to 25.3V.

Which sounds fine for a 24V system but is actually scarily low, as nominal for LFP is 25.6V, and things tend to go sideways below that.

I continue dealing with the fallout from Pop's death, and the seemingly solidified plan to visit my ex-wife for a couple of days, starting tomorrow? Yeah, she's being a bit flighty about the offer holding.

I essentially wake up each morning wondering what's going to go wrong today.

But I also remember times when this was not the case. Being constantly on edge is ageing me.

While I grant these things are true, there's no way in hell multiple people aren't trying this bet.

Fucking hell. Take my upvote, and let us never speak of this again.

More seriously, like, isn't the fucking irony here obvious to everyone?

No, no ... it's Actually Indians.

I mean, that always makes me feel better.

Oh, you just know someone's shorting this. It just doesn't seem to get reported on.

I'm typing this on a Surface, so I'm not inherently anti-MS, but they've very clearly given up on the consumer side, which is an industrywide trend.

AI is sort of like having a plug. If you know you want it, it's easy enough to find.

Have fun with the wait!

I have a rule that I will double RAM with each generation. I had 8GB of DDR2, then 16GB of DDR3. You can guess where I went with DDR4.

Looks like I'm not getting 64GB this year.

I'm going to make two points here. First, "Goons" is a loaded word. I don't disagree with the usage, but U.S. News is intended to be more balanced.

In what Arizona’s attorney general slammed ...

You're not in a 1-col here. "Slam" is not a verb called for in modern journalism. What are we going to do next? Eye? Mull? Reference Solons?

Looks like my dad chose the right week to die in Tucson. You've got nothing on this, Lloyd Bridges!

It was rather pretty of me.

You can only use so many "fucks" before a video is demonetized. Running any longer would have come up against that wall.

Sometimes, being an editor sucks. I try to hold back, but when you end up with a different word than intended -- and it's funny -- I feel I have no choice but to point it out.

I'm sorry. Are you a mod here? You're just bitching that you didn't get exactly what you wanted served on a platter.

Burning Man participants.

I'm assuming you were going for "petty," not rhapsodizing about the UI on the error.
