Umm... Shouldn't the first attempt have been unlikely? This literally proves Secret Service isn't as competent as you believe.

The same Secret Service who left one of the only buildings in the area unsecured? Who when told there was a shooter by the crowd, ignored them? Making a lot of assumptions about competency here when that's already directly in question.

If you don't think your cheap Chinese made plastic popcorn maker is shedding micro plastics too, I have a bridge to sell ya.

Dude, you can literally Google it. There's dozens of articles and talking points suggesting a handful of names. It's right there. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

It's becoming really fucking clear just how much of an echochamber the Dems also live in while simultaneously mocking Trumpers for being in theirs.

Dude is just as much in a cult as the Trumpers are in theirs.

"I'm voting for X, even if he's in a coma" is the exact kind of cult rhetoric you mock Trumpers for following. You're blindly following a leader because "he's going to save us" and willingly dismissing any criticisms, just shoving your fingers in your ears and going "LA LA LA LA LA I CANT HEAR YOU". Oh, and calling anyone who disagrees a Russian/Trump shill.

Fuck the US Democrats. Progressives in name only. They had their chance and they failed miserably. Time for a new party to step up. We need an actual left party, not a "less right than the extreme" one.

Because people liked the feature. Look, I'm just saying WHY they added windows. That was the reason. I'm not saying it's a good reason or no one could figure things out before. They added them for that reason, people liked it, and it stuck around. Yet, there's always gonna be someone dragging out their 30 year old washer going "but mine is fine!". Never said it wasn't. Or someone pointing out that not all washers have a window even today. Cool. Nifty. But if yours does have one, that was the reason they got added.

Congrats on having an ancient machine with no variable timing that finishes early and being able to look in tells you what step it's on easily at a glance instead of staring at your worn away knob. Good for you. Was it relevant at all to the discussion about why they added windows to machines that do?

To check the progress before electric displays and fancy indicator lights. Windows came before those upgrades when machines were still dial controlled.

Really fitting since usually the correct one isnt any of those. It'll be the non-flashy, plain text "download here" link.

As it stands now, you can download all of Wikipedia for offline viewing. It's not restricted in any way. And since Wikipedia is looking for objective truth, not opinions, I'm not sure what benefit federation would do. You want it centralized, not broken up. What happens when two instances decide that their version is the only correct one?

I just don't see any benefit. This feels like when everyone was slapping "blockchain" on things because it was the current buzzword. What is Wikipedia failing at currently that decentralizing it would make better?
