I used that so much when I was creating purchase orders. Nobody needs to know how I got to that page.

I logged into mine a month or 2 ago and realized I was still in tutorial island. I had totally forgotten where I left my character! It was a fantastic experience to go through the F2P quests and leveling again.

That’s because California (like the majority of other states) assigns all of their EC votes to the winner of the popular vote within state. Only Nebraska and Maine split their delegates right now.

The popular vote compact is not in effect yet. They don’t have the 270 votes needed to do it. The last sentence of the first paragraph in the Wikipedia article you linked to says so.

Oh shit there are! Wow! /s

If one of them could get to the 5% popular vote…yada yada. Yeah I know. 2016 was the closest they got in a long time. I voted 3rd party then because I’m in a deeply red state so it wasn’t a throw away vote or preventing the Dems from winning. They didn’t get there. I’m am very convinced at this point you must fix the voting system before 3rd parties have any viability. FPTP is outdated at this point and the added layer of the EC is doing more harm than good now. It was a good idea for a different time, but today is different and the system should evolve. RCV/IRV has shown very clear benefits to enable more than 2 options to be viable on a ballot.

They are bringing votes to a political party who is supporting a genocide where more than 40k people died so far, many of them are children.

It would be no different under the alternative administration. Probably worse actually. There is a very good reason that Iran created a plot to kill Trump and continues to hammer on influencing against Trump. https://www.npr.org/2024/07/16/nx-s1-5042424/trump-iran-plot

Oh it gets worse and still only in NWS area. All of the severe weather alerts from thunderstorms to hurricanes are also done by NWS. Not to mention the radio stations they broadcast all of that information on that are also used to help tune antennas and receivers.

This would kill thousands of people every year. And it’s mostly red states that would feel the biggest burden of being hurt. It does not make any sense except to acknowledge that the people writing P2025 really do not give 2 flying shits about anyone but themselves.

Toss these guys a few bucks the next time your plan is up for renewal and see what rate you can get. Usually TXU is on the high side. https://www.texaspowerguide.com/

I fully agree with the prioritization of meeting basic needs before luxury. The detail I would like see happen is making sure that people have a chance to see more than their own area at some point in their lives. See how other people live for a time. I do think there can be better connections for humanity when we can see the lives of others.

I took a trip with some college buddies. We went on a cruise and stopped in Nassau and some of them had some real shock seeing a city with not as much wealth. The just hadn’t considered that clean streets, sidewalks, and traffic lights didn’t exist everywhere.

The local newspapers in my area send each candidate in every race a form of question that they then print. Typically it is very easy to tell which candidates understand what the that form is, there are those that don’t understand, and then there are ones that don’t return it. It’s makes choosing much easier for me. I’ll still pull of websites and check past news articles for each one I am considering.

Support your local newspapers!

The launcher for War Thunder was a p2p client for sharing game files. It worked really well and was essentially it’s own CDN. Not sure if it still is.

I found this one a while back for the purpose of having a local copy of what I’ve put in my playlists. https://github.com/caseychu/spotify-backup

Check out FidoNet for another example of federation.

Really? I find python imports to work very similar to cpp in practice.

Not really with ATT fiber anymore. The fiber goes straight into their router to authenticate. There is no option for me to purchase an equivalent piece of equipment. I am forced to pay to use their equipment. Fuck ATT.

You are commenting on a LemmyNet post from the shit just works instance. I am replying from a LemmyNet account on lemmy.world. It could also happen that someone from a Mastodon instance could reply to this comment. Everyone can have their account on a specific instance (even self-hosting their own instance) and still be able to see content from other websites. There is no singular website that hosts all data and there is no singular authority (ok maybe you could argue the developers of the software, but it’s also open source and other options do exist so it’s not a true single point of authority) for the entire network.

Content and data is shared between instances.
