Protesting, public pressure in other ways, pressure through other representatives in Congress. Also the same to try and get the voting system changed so minority parties can have more effect, bending the major ones to have to talk about issues that for now are easy to avoid (the both sides, even if that's not entirely true). Another factor is lobbying, that needs to be restricted so large entities like corporations can't basically buy loyalty.

I would point out that any vote, even for Stein, is unconditional, so there's no way to avoid that. To make politicians keep their policy the public has to be engaged past the election.

Even if all of that is debatable, my main point is that a vote for Stein won't get any change. One of the two choices that can win the election has some chance, even if small. Whether that be from citizen pressure or them getting the power of office and doing things themselves.

Wouldn't removal of the data effect on the model require a basic retraining? A bit too late for all the open source ones out there.

Voting for Stein in a FPTP voting system doesn't solve the problem that's been turned into a one issue campaign slogan. Even if she was the perfect candidate. The only realistic option is to try and change the stance of one of the two that can win the election, and out of those two choices, suddenly who to vote for is obvious. If it wasn't already.

Tropical Tidbits update has some solid info not only on the current data and what to expect, but WHY these things can happen.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 12 points 6 hours ago

It requires several conditions to happen, but like you said a warming climate makes those conditions more probable. So many people online seem to be surprised at Milton's growth, but anyone around when Andrew turned from a tropical storm into a monster out of nowhere knows it can happen even in better times. When I first learned of Milton's initial formation and then also saw the Gulf waters were at record heat levels, it doesn't take much to expect the next steps. Let's hope that jet stream dips faster than the models are saying so it hurts Milton earlier than expected before landfall.

"before they acknowledge there's a problem" would be the better phrasing.

We didn't listen

I never made that connection. And not even the voice, but the actions too. Dude can't just sit and talk.

I changed it to the National Archive version, a better choice.

"John Carter" wasn't a perfect movie, but it was a fun ride and failed mostly to bad marketing. I would have loved to see more.

The Greatest Generation is shaking their heads in sadness. Time to break out the unfortunately timeless short, Don't Be a Sucker.

I have an older robot vacuum that has finally shown some age in its battery. The charger will charge for about 15 mins and then gets an error, but it's enough to do a decent vacuuming of the room if I charge then vacuum, then repeat once more. I can't leave it on the charger now due to the error repeating, so basically I run it dead until the next time.

So my question is, can I continue doing this since it works well enough, or is there potential problems/danger with the battery being at less capacity? I could buy a new battery, they aren't terrible in price, but if it works and is safe, why not continue what I'm doing until it completely gives out?
