There’s anywhere from 100-400MM USD distributed for election security and infrastructure provided by the federal government to states on a yearly basis. The path forward would likely to be barring distribution of such funds for any state which holds RCV elections.

Sure, but it’s an additional 70 miles. Not something that would go unnoticed.

Plenty of chemical syntheses are patented. Biological catalysts and precursors are patented every day. No one owns the rights to orbital calculations, because that would be like patenting the concept of a square root — it’s not novel or even complex within the field.

What data do you need to leave your bubble? Issue polling, favorability polling, revealed preference, actual vote share? Americans, by a wide margin, want. Less legal immigration and stricter enforcement of immigration law — including detention and deportation.

It’s the unfortunate reality.

Nah, you’re just a fucking idiot.

One of my favorite movies of all time. The gun battle in the streets is an all-time great scene.

Not every response to a comment is an argument. This one looks like it was providing some color and additional detail to your comment. Calm down.

User base size dictates development resources. If you want Linux mobile to be daily driveable, you do need widespread adoption.

Look at the FUD getting voted to the top. This place is just as bad as Reddit.

Not at all? This is nonsense. The very concept of a standing professional military has been exceedingly rare throughout history and was so during the Revolutionary period as well.

There’s no one in the entire world that likes the current system except for the dealers. OEMs and consumers hate them and would rather move to a direct system. It’s awful. Fuck Tesla, but direct sales are just a superior system and there’s no reason not to move to them now that we no longer have the hurdles which once necessitated the dealership model.

Look here’s one in the wild!

Maybe some tech has increased efficiency (although, when it does that increase is more often than not temporary and short lived), but there is even more “tech” that swarms that space rent seeking any time, money, or other resource saved by that increased efficiency. After the efficiencies degrade, the tech-as-a-scam persists and you end up with less efficient systems than you started with.

For the past 20 years, tech has promised to make things more efficient while making almost everything more complicated and less meaningful. Innovation, for innovation’s sake, has eroded our craftsmanship, relationships, and ability to think critically.

I feel this in my bones.

His life’s work was attempting to get everyone to know that his initial work offered incorrect conclusions and that he had later disproved it. He’s actually a hero.

Which is funny, because Apple itself is giving one of the best takedowns of generative AI with the flagship feature on the most recent iPhone.

This comment is borderline offensive, tbh.

Yeah, the whole thing first took hold in left-leaning crunchy all-natural circles.

We just reporting on standard motions now?
