Unlike other classifications of people, it’s relatively easy to create new rich people. Isn’t that what these people think the American Dream is all about? Is this group of rich people opposed to the American Dream?

I don’t think that line will pull any weight with Trump? At least not in the direction they want….

I don’t know how Duckstation does it, but Retroarch cores (Beetle/Mednafen and PCSX) support widescreen?

He’s obviously looking to leave “journalism” for a career in insurance.

I’ve done this for decades. While everyone else switched to streaming music, I keep my entire collection on my phone. It’s only 40GB, but it makes up the majority of my music listening, with streaming radio supplementing it to find new stuff… which I then purchase and download if I like it.

We used to start with random objects; usually something nobody would want.

Yes, but then you’re not comprehending all the numbers. There’s no difference between imagining 5 googolplex and 5 dragons.

As an average, I usually see the number 7 bandied around. After that we start “chunking” where each group becomes its own conceptual object.

This is why phone numbers without the area code have 7 digits in North America.

Well, I fail to see what makes it better than Freenet. Which ended up becoming exactly that.

Not for a full house, but there are per-room solutions on the market today.

The problem is the rule of squares… for the field to be strong enough to charge devices at the edge of its range in a house, it would have to be strong enough to scramble all electronics and possibly cook your food at the emitter.

But one per moderately sized room? Yeah; very energy inefficient, but you can get it installed today.

Really, it depends where you live; Canada has all the same types of people as the US. The difference is that so far, we have stuck with neo-liberals in power instead of neo-conservatives.

Outside the cities is more conservative, but only in some ways. We like our social services for the most part, even if healthcare is a shadow of what it was 50 years ago — but again, healthcare is now administered at a provincial level, so different provinces will have emphasis on different levels of care.

On the education side, expect the college of teachers to be without a contract 2 years out of every 10 — which results in strikes. Also, a lot of “extra” programs like the arts are massively underfunded at the elementary level. Teachers often go above and beyond to provide equipment and programs out of their own pockets because the government no longer provides the funding.

All that said, I feel a lot safer living north of 49, and feel like even if there still are things like systemic racism, at least it gets called out and doesn’t usually lead to violence.

Oh yeah, and school shootings are VERY rare.

Yeah; free export of soft wood lumber.

Some re-assembly required.

I hope there’s Epstein banners everywhere.

Well, you can’t blame the current government on his selection; it’s not like they’ve got a bunch of people who aren’t white nationalists to pick from who are also loyal to Trump….

That’s why you’d only almost think it.

You’d almost think the military has forgotten to notify when they enter civilian ATC airspace….

That makes 3 near collisions with military aircraft in 5 days, all in ATC airspace.

That’s the second time in less than a week! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/delta-airlines-skywest-collision-north-dakota-b2792725.html

What on earth is going on with USAF ATC this week?

For Macs, I’d visit 68kmla.org, which has a buy/sell/trade forum. There are other forums specific to other platforms as well,

He likely thinks the Golden Rule is “do unto others.” Although he could be getting it confused with golden showers.
