I wish I was the kind of person that could feel surprised, disappointed, or offended by that. But I’m not.

Dunno why you’re surprised. Dude is a consummate performer with a large songbook of his own.
Here he is singing “Never Gonna Give You Up” with the Foo Fighters.
Here he is doing voice and drums on Highway to Hell.
The man owns the stage.
Currently, PopOS although I’m not really that enthusiastic about it.
What? Why would you choose that over Baptist Church of Missouri SynodOS, you heretic?
It will be interesting to see if it passes Constitutional muster. The Constitution only requires that “the people” choose the legislator. Previous attempts to regulate voting like this required amendments (e.g. elimination of the poll tax).
The relevant:
“I better win or you’re gonna have problems like we’ve never had. We may have no country left,” Trump said at his weekend swing-state rally. “This may be our last election. You want to know the truth? People have said that. This could be our last election.”
Eh. The article goes on to quote pundits who claim he’s threatening voters – that if he doesn’t win, he’s gonna do something to end democracy.
Seems kind of overblown to me. First, Trump would have to do something (laugh) and second, this is normal posturing. If you elect the other person, it’s doom and gloom, if you elect me it’s 4 more years of good times. These folks would have watched LBJ’s Daisy and concluded that LBJ was planning to nuke the country if he didn’t win.
People trying to make sense of Trump’s incomprehensible blather are always gonna come out looking silly.

I’ll stand to it. See you in November.
Does anyone think that RFK Jr would be any kind of spoiler? If he got as much as 0.5% of the vote in any state, I’d be floored. I mean, I guess it could be a super-close race, but I don’t think it was a given that all of RFK’s voters would turn Trump anyway.
Then they would have to remove the various hooks in the Settings app that actually call and open the Control Panel.
How many are there? I can think of several (advanced mouse settings, advanced network settings, printer properties, date & time has a callout back to the old panel…)
Windows 10 came out nine years ago, so they don’t seem in any particular rush.
“Main Quest”. What does that even mean? That’s nonsense.
The idea that anyone finishes a game of Civilization is a myth.
How hard were the sources laughing?
What, is this a Canadian assassin?
I went through two defective EVGA cards within the original card’s warranty period. On the second card, EVGA tried to deny my warranty.
They eventually made it right, after I shamed them on Reddit.
Yeah I’m not excusing the driver parking it like a jackass.
It depends on the use case, though. If that driver’s main concern is getting in and out of muddy work sites safely, maybe carrying cargo is less important than 4WD cred.
FYI, Fortnine is based in Canada.
Increases or decreases in the frequency of pedestrian-driver fatalities is affected by lots of things, although I suggest that poor road design and traffic laws might have a positive feedback effect when combined with limited forward visibility (e.g. a truck with poor forward visibility isn’t a huge liability in Canadian road designs might be a larger liability in typical US road designs).
Unfortunately I don’t know if we collect the right accident statistics. Perhaps the more relevant question is: are pickup trucks over-represented in pedestrian fatalities as a result of vehicle collision compared to other vehicles, and has that representation grown as truck grill heights have grown? I found a doc on Canadian pedestrian fatalities, but it classified all passenger vehicles as a single class – and unfortunately that doesn’t tell us much since most 4-wheel pickups are classified as passenger vehicles.
Is this even news? Surely the list of politicians who’ve opposed this or that spending measure, then gone on to demand disbursements from the same pool of money, is very long and bipartisan. I’d go so far as to say it’s his job and responsibility to get as much for his constituents as he can, no matter what his official or personal position on the bill.
For Democrats, the usual culprit is military spending – they’ll speak against it on the floor, then demand contracts and base expansion in their own state.
And when politicians do refuse disbursements on principle, as some Republican-led state legislatures did around welfare expansion and COVID-related spending, we ridicule them.
