Fuck him up ladies.

god it’s nice when government works for the people occasionally, kudos to the many people who made this happen

it looks good! nice work

Seriously, some solid snack game there, they fucking missed out

Seriously, this was pretty cool, thanks for sharing!

I think it is measured and professionals who work in areas where this was relevant probably track this number among many others. I think the real question you are asking is why it is always framed as a % of GDP in public discussion and news reporting. Some people here point out how % of GDP can be more useful for comparing across countries with vastly different sized economies but I think we all know the real answer has more to do with how people perceive the value differently by using the larger number. Framing government debt as a % of GDP serves the zeitgeist, whatever that is.

I don’t get this sentiment, not a m$ fan but the surface hardware always made sense to me. Full laptop specs in a tablet style shape with a unique and useful aspect ratio. Sure they gimped the processor but it’s still 4 times as much CPU as an ipad. It’s a shame that android or IOS seem to be the only truly usable tablet operating systems these days.

As a side note I’m pretty shocked still at how poorly windows 11 performs on my SP7. It’s weirdly bad considering it’s their own damn hardware. There have been improvements since these things ran Windows 8 but touch still feels like a gimmick rather than a first class experience.

I installed some arch variant with a custom kernel that included the drivers on my SP3 a few years ago. Performed great, stable. Battery was meh, lost maybe 30% capacity which was pretty par for the course but maybe could have improved with more tuning. Tried using it primarily as a tablet and that sucked. Ran scripts to do things like help with palm rejection but it was just a poor tablet experience overall. Not that Windows provides a significantly better one. But certainly more usable.

It’s been 5 years though so maybe everything is better 🤞 . Please tell me if it is, I am thinking about flashing that same SP3 back to linux to be a dashboard somewhere.

I understand this reference and I approve o7

Yeah that looks like a no for me holmes. The ai features don’t tickle my pickle and while it’s still probably the best camera out there I crave that battery life more. MKBHD already dropped his initial reviews as well for what that’s worth.

Got my new phone budget two weeks ago and I’ve been waiting to see if the new pixel was worth it or if I should just buy a oneplus 12. The camera on the oneplus’s are never as good but all the other pixel features seem so meh usually. Especially that battery life, why can’t they just stick a bigger battery in these things.

This is super useful, thanks for sharing!

One of my low-key unpopular opinions is that this is why Obama never accomplished much. Charismatic, gifted speaker, seemed like a great person etc… but not terribly experienced in politicking. Honestly if you compare Biden’s presidency with Obama’s blow for blow I think, hands down, Biden wins on number of things accomplished. He just knows all the right buttons to press to get things done around Washington.

Definitely have to acknowledge the unprecedented pushback from congress that plagued Obama, but overall I think an experienced politician can vastly outperform a “good guy” in a lot of elected positions. It’s why I’m not as stoked about term limits for Congress. Sure it hurts to see some of these lifers grift for years on end but it also fosters experienced people in the role. You think AOC is doing great stuff now, give her 5-10 more years of experience in the role and she’ll be capable of doing way more.

I’m so fucking glad we’ve got a president who can at least handle this moment responsibly. Biden may not be everything people want but he’s not seizing this moment to forward his own personal agenda. I think he is pretty clearly trying to find a more ethical path forward. I don’t think we can say that about all of our past presidents.

The smarter people seem to be saying it’s a mixed bag. She could have dragged the case out for more months, maybe even years. Or she could have seated a jury and done a different kind of dismissal thing that isn’t appealable.

This path let’s Jack Smith appeal to the 11th circuit (I think) immediately and they’re the ones who rebutted her pretty soundly the last time she ruled on a Trump case. We can probably expect a reasonable ruling from them.

However, here’s the rub. After 11th circuit or whatever has their say Trump can appeal to the Supreme Court. In their recent Presidential Immunity ruling there was a long response by Clarence Thomas that included a section questioning the legality of Jack Smith’s appointment. Which is the same reasoning Cannon gives in her ruling. It’s pretty clear that Thomas was signalling that he would rule in favor of Trump for that same reason if/when an appeal got to him.

It’s not clear whether the rest of the conservatives on the court agree with Thomas but it all suggests this will go to the Supreme Court and at least one member has already signalled how they would rule. For the time being, Trump continues to prove that he is, in fact, above the law.

It can take time too. One of the ways rich people skirt taxes is paying lawyers to drag things out in court. IRS doesn’t just have to hire new people to do complicated audits on rich people, they also have to pay lawyers to enforce their findings in the courts. Ramping up new agents to handle the audits and going through any court procedures can take years.
