Canceling the CNBC interview I could see after getting thumped in Chicago, but canceling a softball rally where he would certainly be lavished with obsequious adulation suggests a health issue. Undoubtedly the grueling campaign trail is taking its toll on him.
The design there is basically the telephony equivalent to dark patterns. Like endless IVR loops. Throw as many roadblocks in the way of someone trying to cancel while not technically making it impossible: outsource your cancellation department and make sure they use a lossy codec so everything sounds like mud. Then the agent will try to beg you off for another month and, if successful, the thought of having that horrible experience again will discourage you from taking action.
Who could have imagined the guy who defends the continued murder of schoolchildren being a sadistic psychopath? It’s always the ones you most suspect.
Successful accelerationists tend to be murdered by the people they help put into power.
This certainly makes me happy that Biden and not Trump was in office when Putin invaded. Trump would have handed Ukraine over on a platter to daddy Vladdy.
It’s strategy. Many American swing voters own guns, the Republican messaging is that Kamala will take all those guns away, so this ‘admission’ is intended to make it permissible for those on-the-fence gun owners to vote for her.
Kamala has secret service protection, she will likely have security around her for the rest of her life. She doesn’t need to own a gun. This is just messaging and posturing to capture votes, please recognize it for what it is.
People who died of COVID usually didn’t die with COVID. People who are looking for a reason to blame anything but the virus for deaths point at that distinction as though it is somehow meaningful.
The most powerful winds were well off the coast in Mexico, still i think the surge was 4-6 feet.
I actually answered an unrecognized local number on Saturday thinking it might be a pollster, but it was my local voter turnout organization calling to make sure I intended to vote and to see if I needed a ride to the voting center.
What is really annoying is that there are a lot of really good data modeling applications, they are just in research areas. Generative AI is absolutely a waste of resources, but a ton of money and energy is spent on that instead of on the applications that are actually bearing fruit.
People are so short-sighted, organized labor succeeding helps all labor get more, even if they are not represented. I was in CWA for years but even after I left the union their bargaining successes typically translated into wage increases for me. So even from a purely self-interested position all workers should support union actions and celebrate union successes.
I’ve been using Garuda and I quite like it with the KDE Plasma 6 DE.
A 77% increase over 6 years is 9.15% per year, which is quite good, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable.
Well then her opinion on the subject appears to be irrelevant unless she is indicating her intent to vote for the one candidate on the ballot who will protect a woman’s bodily autonomy.
Is Melania running for President?
A deal penned under the Trump administration because of course it was. Government sold to the highest bidder.
You can set it yourself but it then verifies your address is real using Bing maps and the database is really lacking. If it doesn’t find an entry it won’t let you enter it. I am told this will be moving to Azure maps soon which I hope is better.
Anyway we are leveraging manual network entries tofind phones at our locations using the WAP bssid or, for ethernet, LLDP but the latter isn’t working. I can show LLDP coming in on a pcap but Teams doesn’t see it - another ticket for Microsoft.
I am in the middle of trying to get e911 functional for Teams direct route calls, based of lis data, my Teams can’t correctly determine the state I am in, much less my current address. It took multiple tickets to get our corporate headquarters to show up correctly instead of an address a half-mile away.
I forsee getting a lot of tickets from this feature.
So he admits to being a thief.
I have tried to explain this to so many managers and they never ever get it.
