    https://www.theroot.com/folks-in-red-states-google-searched-how-to-change-my-vo-1851696397 Iowa, which went red, was the state that had the highest amount of people looking into changing their votes. This occurred mostly in the areas of Des Moines-Ames, Cedar Rapids-Waterlook-Iowa City and Dubuque. Interestingly enough, the highest number of searches took place on Monday (Nov. 11) at 5 a.m., less than a week after Election Day. Other states with the same high search interest include Kansas, Idaho, Nebraska and Alabama — all states that Trump secured.

    What makes you excited about the appointments? I'm worried about all the agencies and important oversight that's gonna be going away, not to mention that enforcement for laws that trump disagrees with is going to stop completely

    That you're posting about how christianity has always been oppressed by the state, going all the way back to Roman times. That you're equivocating abortion to concentration camps. You're back on surly and immediately blowing dog whistles that are go-to favorites. What's next, GROOMERS??

    It's unfortunate that your hiatus for surly has not changed your christofascist worldview. I'm sorry for your wife.

    It really blows my mind how fast it's gonna all happen. We are going to see universities have their endowments taken away if they don't comply with the federally preferred speech

    this is pretty offensive to compare a woman aborting a fetus to jewish children getting marched into a gas chamber.

    A 51% attack is not implausible. If a state actor wanted to, I would imagine they could gain control of a mining pool or two that would get them to the point of controlling pool consensus. And that's just a perpetual risk, by protocol design

    That's a classical fascist tactic - accuse your enemy of doing to you what you're about to do to them. By constantly claiming victimhood and nursing grievances it empowers their internal moral high ground to keep digging in. And it helps to engender support from an uninformed public since they have a vague impression of that norm already being broken.

    My main thesis is that if it's a currency, it's a terribly expensive, inefficient and hard to use currency. Its rise in value has not been driven by a rise in utility or decrease in end user costs. Its price is going up from increased FOMO and the expectation of cheaper debt.

    Insurance rates got double whammied by increasingly frequent and severe storms, especially in coastal areas - PLUS - the absurd explosion in home prices from 2019-2023. There's a load of homes in my area that have doubled in price since 2020, and for the last couple decades had only had small incremental price growth

    Well at least you're honest about cheering on the downfall of the republic

    We did just elect the "King of Debt" into a second term as president. He's gonna grab our childrens future by the pussy.

    We should rename this thread from "truce" thread to "totalitarian" thread. I haven't really seen anything aside from angry and gleeful partisanship, and the trumpers refuse to even engage on what trump said he plans to do The trumpers just want acknowledgement of the win and nothing else

    You're right, moving to a 100% privatized and religious education model will fix everything. Privatizing has done wonders for basically every industry, and has never resulted in worse outcomes for the new clients of these monopolies

    It's leveraging BTC more and more. And when the line goes up, that leverage is an excellent thing. If the line goes the other way, it's a ton of exposure to downside.

    You're arguing that conservatives are victimized, because they don't show up at all in the first place? I'm not sure I agree with your police work, lou. A null data point is a poor input for inference.

    is this considered a good or bad thing for crypto? A major selling point was insulation from governments and would-be manipulators

    This is another instance where repeating a story does not magically transmute it into truth. What do you mean "violence" in a thread? Y'all craft these wild and rhetorically juicy narratives in your head and repeat them to each other, and then get bigmad when you get fact checked

    Here's the highlights

    Man, am I fucking glad we left that dogshit conference with its dogshit refs. I still remember 2015 Okie Lite - I was at that game with some friends and it was their first game at DKR

    3D Printing

    Captainant replied to 52-80's topic in Hobbies

    Check out some of the advanced settings in your slicer - one that Orca and Bambu slicer have that I LOVE is variable layer heights. So for each model, it will dynamically adjust layer height to best suit the geometry. If it's a curve, it gets really thin layers - straight walls get thicker layers. It's shaved nearly an hour off of prints in some cases for me, without negatively impacting quality or strength

    The context of that clip is LGTBQ folks who just spent the whole election cycle being advertised against as the next "enemy within". I don't think going to the people who want to put them in camps is a good healthy decision for them
