We basically get two chances if you want to follow the normal procedure. Swing congress during the midterms and lock him up for the remainder of his term and or elect a democrat in four years who will tear up the stack of executive orders a

This is why I'm hoping that bare-bones short range EV truck catches on because I would love for my "hauling" vehicle to be an EV.

It's really a shame you literally can't buy a BYD car in the US because they're great vehicles. They're "boring" electric cars— not trying to redefine the driving experience, not trying to be luxury cars. Just

Yep, I used Lenire. Based on the the comments on the internet I expect the other device to work better but Lenire was what was available and it did the job for me.

The bilateral stimulation devices aren't a cure, but they do meaningfully help. My tinnitus is much quieter after using it.

You can pry my wood window frames from my cold dead hands. They're gorgeous. If you want them to be energy efficient as well they're also expensive but easily worth it over the ugly plastic that plagues every new construction.

Ya know, reading this I start to understand the backlash against DEI programs when real life, presumably educated, people such as yourself seem to genuinely believe in such a cartoonish narrative. That's not even what redistributive ju

My guy you clearly have no idea what intersectionality even means. Like this is firmly in the "not even wrong" territory where the word doesn't make sense in the sentence. Intersectionality is a descriptive term to understand

Yep, there is basically nothing else to be said. Using a static type checker isn't some moral imperative or whatever. I simply am able to write better, more correct code faster than without it. And my test suite doesn't have to do

Parallels does it on macOS and it works. Windows also provides a way to RDP individual applications so it's "just" a matter of the client hiding the seam.

So that's a funny thing, your blinds are on the inside of your house so the sun energy is hitting them and dissipating from there. Hopefully your blinds are white and reflecting more of it out than the other surfaces it would otherwise

I've never found a satisfying way to not hold the lock for the full duration of the task that is resilient to workers potentially dying. And postgres isn't happy holding a bunch of locks like that. You end up having to register an

It depends if you believe the government is buying something with that money or not. A local example the township just installed bunch of sump pumps in people's houses free of charge— they covered whole neighborhoods with them. This is

Pyright being so fast has gotten my coworkers (as well as myself) who dare to code using tooling not made by JetBrains an easy to use instant-feedback type checker that can be used in CI. So I think it's a huge win.

I find it funny people are making fun of this while every ORM builds up an object representing the query and then compiles it to SQL. SQL but as a data structure you can manipulate has thousands of implementations because it solves a real p

I think you're inventing a hypocrisy that doesn't really exist. Abortion protection should exist at a federal level because it's healthcare. If a pregnant woman is traveling and has an emergency that requires an abortion she

One could make that argument, except that until the Trump administration the US government has made no distinction between sex and gender when it comes to sex markers. A transgender woman is a transexual woman is legally female. They have e

But SS isn't a tax like the rest of our general taxes. I pay a specific SS tax on my payroll so that when I retire I'm entitled to a payout. If you take away the payout you need to take away the tax. Once you means test SS it beco

I'm surprised the major cell providers are cool with letting randos operate cell towers that back into an unknown untrusted ISP and their customers will automatically switch to when in range. It's unbelievably chill for companies
