Your username raises questions. I'm not sure any of them need answers, though...
That was my reaction, too. I feel like I'm aging at an accelerated pace with these guys in charge.
Bush's 2000 campaign is largely responsible for mobilizing the evangelical Christian voting block in the US. So in no small way, we have him to thank for the rise of Christian nationalism that we've seen over the past 20 years.
I won't judge him as a person, but there's no rehabilitation possible for his presidency.
Just ask ChatGPT; it's better than humans at proving its humanity with these stupid things.
Those aren't tubes, they're whole tubular tires, essentially an integrated tube and tire in one unit that is glued to the rim. Changing a flat first required peeling the old one off before the new tire could be stretched (they fit tight!) onto the rim.
Tubulars are still used regularly by at least one world tour team (French, naturally), but these days a flat is fixed by swapping the wheel or even the whole bike for a spare carried by the team car. That wasn't allowed in the early days.
Interesting! From his post,
Mikhail advised me to use balanced trees instead of extensible hashing
And
I never told Mikhail that Oracle had tried implementing a filesystem using balanced trees, and its performance was terrible leading to most insiders in the industry concluding that balanced trees performed poorly for filesystem File size patterns.
Of course, that filesystem exists today as btrfs.
Turnout matters, though. Biden in 2020 won more votes than any presidential candidate in history, but the second place winner was Trump in 2020. There will be similar loyalty to Trump on the right in 2024, and if Biden can't match that, he loses. So I'm not afraid of the youth vote either, but I am afraid of the lack of it.
They don't want this! Control comes with responsibility and is expensive. Twitter is already there, has been there for a long time, and still has the users and the mindshare. It's still the logical choice for organizations wanting to reach the widest audience.
Fortunately that last bit does seem to be changing. It's not happening as fast as many of us think it should, some prominent organizations have left X. Hopefully more will continue to do that, but calling the stragglers fascists, as was done earlier in this thread, is not a productive way to engage.
Trump is the victim again. See how badly he needs our support? (/s, just to make it explicit.)
Its use of a single letter app name did, too, and we see how quickly they bent the rules to accommodate the name change.
Exactly this. An arraignment of a former president has become a non-event. This is ideal for Trump, regardless of how MSNBC tries to spin it.
How does that compare with the number of congressional Republicans actively spreading this disinformation?
