if by “most” you mean “a scant few applications that can’t tolerate it” then sure. US to Germany pings are currently ~120ms. Not many things that can’t tolerate 500ms outside of gaming.
From the Intrusive Thoughts Wikipedia Page:
Many people experience the type of negative and uncomfortable thoughts that people with more intrusive thoughts experience, but most people can dismiss these thoughts.[7] For most people, intrusive thoughts are a “fleeting annoyance”.[8] Psychologist Stanley Rachman presented a questionnaire to healthy college students and found that virtually all said they had these thoughts from time to time, including thoughts of sexual violence, sexual punishment, “unnatural” sex acts, painful sexual practices, blasphemous or obscene images, thoughts of harming elderly people or someone close to them, violence against animals or towards children, and impulsive or abusive outbursts or utterances.[9] Such thoughts are universal among humans, and have “almost certainly always been a part of the human condition”.

I can’t say for sure but it sounds like a Ponzi scheme. You get some investors. You lie on paper that they’re making lots of money. If anybody wants to withdraw, you give them the money from other investors to make it look like anybody can withdraw whenever they want. But there isn’t enough to cover all of the withdrawals because you’ve lied about the profits. Then you get more investors. And more investors. You promise if they keep their money in your investment a long time they will make way more than the initial withdrawers. They were silly to sell when everyone is still making so much money. As long as investors continue to add money to the pool you can pay off the few people who want to withdraw. At some point it becomes untenable to pay everyone off and continue to look legitimate and so you just withdraw all the money and run.
Yes, there are certainly people who could help. I’d suggest finding them and asking them for assistance.
Here’s the list of states and electoral college votes:
https://www.archives.gov/electoral-college/allocation
Just don’t think about the popular vote. It has no bearing on who wins the Presidency in the US.
You can argue that it should but just accept that under the current rules it does not.
As far as your question “If Kamala wins the popular vote, how much does she have to win by to flip the electoral college to her side?” the only answer is “it depends”
It depends because as amazingly stupid as this sounds, one vote for a candidate counts either more or less depending on which state it came from.
Example of California (most people) and Wyoming (least people)
California:
Electoral Votes: 55
Population: 39,500,000
Weight: 0.00000139
Wyoming:
Electoral Votes: 3
Population: 580,000
Weight: 0.00000517
A vote in Wyoming (0.00000517) affects the outcome of the electoral college much more than a vote in California (0.00000139).
Another way of looking at it is that one electoral college vote in California represents the will of a little over 718,000 residents, while in Wyoming it represents the will of a little over 193,000 people.
Things get even trickier when you factor in the fact that some states split the EC votes based on popular vote or district, and other states are a winner-take-all (whichever candidate takes the state takes all the EC votes.)
It’s a giant complex mess and it cannot be easily related to the popular vote.
This is EXACTLY what was in my head as I wrote the post.
just under 50% of people voted in Ohio in the 2020 election.
Trump won by 8%.
If just 9% of the people who felt like you (what’s the point of voting) had showed up to vote for Biden, that would have flipped the state.
No single raindrop believes it can make any difference. But together, all those insignificant raindrops can change the course of a river in a single day.
To expand, pecans are about 6kcal/g sugar is 4kcal/g - since the serving size is 28g, not by volume, they have reduced the pecans per serving and added sugar per serving which is less calorie dense per gram.
If the AI can run everything, then we become a post scarcity society. I’m hoping for Iain M Banks Culture series myself, but who knows. Or maybe the AI becomes so intelligent it just checks out like in the movie Her and we have to go back to doing it with non-AI tech.
Ah, didn’t realize pfSense is the OS, not something that runs on linux. My command examples won’t work for you.
Some antibiotics, like sulfonamides, can be used in dogs but might cause adverse reactions in humans, such as allergies or severe skin reactions.
So my first question is how can it be that my little mini J1900 Celeron (2 GHz) with 4 GB RAM cannot handle this bandwith?
sudo ethtool enp2s0 | egrep 'Speed|Duplex' Your device name may be different from enp2s0. use ip link to see all devices. if it’s notSpeed: 1000Mb/s
Duplex: Full
then that’s probably a bad sign.

You make it seem like the US’s market will need to experience the same thing eventually.
You make it seem like it didn’t already: The US market didn’t reach its 1929 peak again until 1954. 25 years is a long time to hold out on withdrawing your retirement investments.
Here’s two other modern markets:
The Athens Stock Exchange had peaks in the 2000’s that haven’t recovered.
Ukraine’s stock market has ceased operations since the invasion.
These events are rare, but not unheard of.
At least as close as anything can be guaranteed in this world
Turns out “close to guaranteed” is in fact, not “guaranteed.”
So much so that if you pick any 25 year period over the last 200 years, you won’t find a single instance where the total value of the all traded stocks was worth less at the end than at the start.
Here’s my 25 how did they do:
(hint: they’ve all filed for bankruptcy at some point)
Again, look at the Nikkei from the 1990’s - that’s an entire index that was flat for 30 years. Hard to put off retirement for 30 years waiting for that index fund to pay off.
Don’t bother dying on this hill, son, there’s plenty of other, nicer hills to die on.
It becomes gambling when you are going on gut feelings without researching what you’re doing.
If you have an investment strategy that financial advisors approve of, let’s say investing 70% in a US index fund, 20% bonds and 10% high risk mutual funds that you don’t touch for years or decades, that’s investing.
If you’re just randomly picking stocks, buying and selling in order to make a quick buck because of some guy screaming at you on television without any real research into a company other than a few google searches, that’s gambling.
I want to remind everyone that there is no guarantee that the market / index funds continue to go up. It hasn’t happened in the US market, but look at the Nikkei over the last 30 years - if you had invested in the 90s you would only now be getting some of your money back - that is a long time.
