The difference is the center of power and control. Michigan sets most of their own rules and administers it within the state.

Ohio does the same, following its own internal standards. The process and results might look similar, but they really don't have to be.

Which means that Trusk can't dismantle it from the inside. They have limited power to tell each state what to do or how to do it.

Love the sentiment, but it needs to be workshopped to create the right product. There's definitely something there, though.

There is something to be optimistic about on that front- there is no federal election. Instead, there are 51 state elections (inc. DC) that are mostly independent.

While I'm sure that Trusk will try their damnedest to corrupt the whole process, there's not much requiring states to listen to the feds.

That said, election security will need to be paramount. Not just the integrity of the voters (but that too), but all of the staff, the election machines themselves, outside attackers, intimidation, and so on.

There's a report going around of voting machines reporting a red shift once a certain number of votes have been counted. If I were trying to hide that sort of attack in the code, that's exactly how I would do it. Which means audits will need to be very thorough.

This is exactly why, for many years, there was no percentage on the label. They were concerned that people would try to get it to 100%.

Fast forward a few decades, and it's extremely rare to find Americans consuming that little sugar, so the concern was no longer valid.

You can try, and probably even win, but people that stab other people tend to not pay court judgements.

While I appreciate that rule in many communities, there's nothing stopping them from posting a summary or even editorial in the body.

Something I found very eye-opening was the Wikipedia editing guidelines/style guide. Specifically, they had (have?) section on weasel words.

Once you see these types of manipulations laid out, you start to see them everywhere.

Yep, these are some of the extra variables. If the buyer would not have otherwise bought a Tesla, it changes things entirely. Same for the (slight) increase in supply of used Teslas lowering the price, making them more attractive to buyers.

But I'm going to hazard a guess that anyone buying a used Tesla today was already going to buy one, limited only by their finances.

At least in theory, she replaced the sale of a new Tesla with her used one. That's money directly taken from Tesla, and by extension musk.

Obviously there are a ton of extra variables, so who knows what the end result is.

Do you have any idea how many cups/mugs/plates/pans say this? Most of my dishes are not "dishwasher safe". Only a couple have had any issues with it.

Similarly, look at how many of your clothes are incredibly delicate according to the tag. It's erring on the side of extreme caution, and to provide a defense if it's a piece of shit that falls apart.

It's since been updated, although I'm not sure the changes are any better. More clinical, I guess.

Goodwin was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2015 for 1st degree criminal sexual act and 1st degree sexual abuse, according to state prison records. He was released in 2023.

The victims were a 7-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl, according to the state sex offender’s registry.

Yes, because we are all convinced by people that are poor and homeless.

Money is power. I could give half my day's wages to a worthy organization (if I could find one) and it would be infinitely more effective than losing my job.

 

I'm looking to upgrade some of my internal systems to 10 gigabit, and seeing some patchy/conflicting/outdated info. Does anyone have any experience with local fiber? This would be entirely isolated to within my LAN, to enable faster access to my fileserver.

Current existing hardware:

  • MikroTik CSS326-24G-2S+RM, featuring 2 SFP+ ports capable of 10GbE
  • File server with a consumer-grade desktop PC motherboard. I have multiple options for this one going forward, but all will have at least 1 open PCIe x4+ slot
  • This file server already has an LSI SAS x8 card connected to an external DAS
  • Additional consumer-grade desktop PC, also featuring an open PCIe x4 slot.
  • Physical access to run a fiber cable through the ceiling/walls

My primary goal is to have these connected as fast as possible to each other, while also allowing access to the rest of the LAN. I'm reluctant to use Cat6a (which is what these are currently using) due to reports of excessive heat and instability from the SFP+ modules.

As such, I'm willing to run some fiber cables. Here is my current plan, mostly sourced from FS:

  • 2x Supermicro AOC-STGN-i2S / AOC-STGN-i1S (sourced from eBay)
  • 2x Intel E10GSFPSR Compatible 10GBASE-SR SFP+ 850nm 300m DOM Duplex LC/UPC MMF Optical Transceiver Module (FS P/N: SFP-10GSR-85 for the NIC side)
  • 2x Ubiquiti UF-MM-10G Compatible 10GBASE-SR SFP+ 850nm 300m DOM Duplex LC/UPC MMF Optical Transceiver Module (FS P/N: SFP-10GSR-85, for the switch side)
  • 2x 15m (49ft) Fiber Patch Cable, LC UPC to LC UPC, Duplex, 2 Fibers, Multimode (OM4), Riser (OFNR), 2.0mm, Tight-Buffered, Aqua (FS P/N: OM4LCDX)

I know the cards are x8, but it seems that's only needed to max out both ports. I will only be using one port on each card.

Are fiber keystone jacks/couplers (FS P/N: KJ-OM4LCDX) a bad idea?

Am I missing something completely? Are these even compatible with each other? I chose Ubiquti for the switch SFP+ since Mikrotik doesn't vendor-lock, AFAICT.
