There was also the cost of running twitter. Granted, his return so far has been about 50 bil and twitter still has a market value of like 40 billion, so it’s not like that asset has gone away. Like 4 billion in net costs to make 50 billion in two years is pretty solid return on investment…

They wouldn’t? Trump didn’t get more votes than 2020. Kamala just got far less than Biden.

Most phone calculators lack things like graphs, statistical tests, etc. Really just for people who are quired to use Ti calculators or learned to use them in the past. Better apps imo exist (like numworks graphing calculator) if you don’t have platform loyalty

You can vote for someone against genocide for pres or just not vote for any candidate and still vote downballot.

If the downballot candidate hasn’t been actively assisting genocide and hasn’t been very publicly celebrating that, it probably helps with getting votes.

Would have been a lot easier to type this comment while squatting if I had a standing desk capable of squating instead of using my lap for my notebook

Americans just weren’t convinced that Harris would do anything to improve their economic situation.

Why would they? She never proposed anything specific AFAIK except like 1 week before the election after early voting was already over. If she hadn’t avoided taking any policy positions except unconditional aid to israel, lower proposed tax rates for the rich than even Biden was proposing, continued fracking, no improvements to healthcare, and more lethal military/border while avoiding talking about abortion for months, maybe people would have reason for some hope for improvement.

How many Americans know about proposals about things like tax credits for parents or plan to expand medical care coverage under medicare (or was it medicaid?) to at-home care except the small percent who follow that kind of news.

I sincerely hope there is a future election where they have learned something from this. In the mean time, good luck everyone.

Given you’re expecting an apology instead of giving one, nothing was learned apparently.

Did McCain vote for Trump?

But he insulted others. He hardly was as vitriolic towards his base demographic.

Spending the first like 2 months campaigning on how she doesn’t care about certain demographics’ vote (primarily arab and college-age voters, and avoiding any popular policy discussion (only focusing on ways they were shifting further right) until the week of election probably didn’t help. Trump got the majority of 1st time voters this cycle. Biden got 64%.

And, just like her campaign, her voters did little but try to insult people. What a surprise… insulting people doesn’t convince people to vote for you or your candidate.

The basic idea seems to be that it should be pretty similar to reddit, but with federation. Definitely still seems to have its own separate character though. And different instances have their own unique cultures, some more differentiated than others.

Its actually in the headline. Dr. Who recommended “Dementia Tests For Trump”

Its been sorta expected to happen eventually. Texas is only not a swing state because of things like voter suppression. There’s only 6 states with worse turnout than Texas. If Texas had the turnout of Minnesota, it might just be a blue state.

If you know they are just trying to get you to quit and don’t actually want you to do anything, I imagine it’s easier than a job where you have to worry about how you appear to bosses and others. The facade of being productive itself can be taxing.

But it also depends how much leeway they give to do whatever. If you know you can just stay up all night and come in to sleep 8 hours, the time could pass pretty quickly…

By having a good product, so people want to use it and need to top-up on new searches regularly as a result?

Up to 300 searches. I’m not asking for free. Just for it to not be a subscription. Just sell me 300 searches.

Signing up and logging in isn’t a problem imo. I wouldn’t even mind if I had to pay for searches, but I’m not going to make it a subscription service. Unless they add an option to do something like buy 1000 searches that never expire, its not something I’d considered. I do think they beat out competitors like google with their results pretty consistently though based on the trial.

Its already been 6 years since the first 100TB SSD released and I still don’t think anyone has bothered to dethrone it last I checked. Density and number of layers possible have both increased since then. I imagine part of it is just a performance issue though; 10 10TB SSDs are gonna be faster than 1 100TB SSD.

At the consumer level, the usage of smaller form factors will probably mean more density will still be useful. Things like the steamdeck drives will benefit for a while.
