Its the parts fault if they cant get an easy vote, not the voter’s
Ultimately, yes that’s the case. It’s the candidates job to attract voters.

And that’s great, that’s what I do in the primaries. I’m not about to risk a Trump presidency just to place a vote for a 3rd party that I probably also don’t actually like. Just plug the nose and stop the larger threat.
- Comment on Stay Mad 1 day ago:
Whatever helps you sleep at night if Trump gets elected.
- Comment on Stay Mad 1 day ago:
This vote is far too important to protest vote. Especially now that I live in a swing state.
- Comment on Stay Mad 1 day ago:
Technically I’m voting for Biden, in reality I’m voting against Trump. I really wish I had a better option…

Rosy? Star Trek said we had to go through a nuclear apocalyptic war before learning to cooperate.
- Comment on Vulcan rocket's debut brings long-awaited challenge to SpaceX dominance 5 months ago:
The important part about this is that Vulcan doesn’t just use yet another Russian bought rocket engine. It uses BE-4, from Blue Origin. Finally, someone other than SpaceX building rockets. Too bad it’s the other out of touch billionaire with too much power and influence that is doing it.

I’ve been using this image with different providers for years. I would highly recommend it.
- Comment on But I wanted to be somebody famous! 8 months ago:
I disagree. It’s okay to make fun of things that people do, but not what people are. You shouldn’t make fun of someone for having a disability. You can make fun of someone choosing to put all that money and effort into a degree they are only leveraging to work at a haunted house. Not to mention comedy is subjective, so you may not find the same types of jokes funny.

There were a couple of companies that tried programs like this. PeoplePC was another similar program. You would pay for their services and they would lease you a computer every 3 years.

It would be trivial to attach something that would catch the casings to collect them.
- Comment on Judge blocks California law requiring safety features for handguns 9 months ago:
The real problem is that all of those parts would print on the shell casing, not the bullet. What good would that do?
- Comment on Judge blocks California law requiring safety features for handguns 9 months ago:
The microstamping. As far as I know, no gun does this. What it effectively is, is a way to ban guns without outright calling it a ban.

Only private companies can get away with thinking like that. Companies that can put the stakeholder’s interest ahead of the shareholder.

Median is a form of average.
- Comment on Markdown everywhere 9 months ago:
I was using MarkText and a fairly structured set of directories. I switched to Bookstack which allows me to do essentially the same thing but with a web interface and the ability to share with even using RBAC. It doesn’t do the cool linking stuff though.

I have obsidian installed, but I haven’t really looked into how to use it. It has been on my list of things I should probably learn for a long time now
- Comment on Microsoft cuts ties with the Surface Duo after just 2 Android version updates 9 months ago:
I think I made the point pretty clear… There really isn’t a phone with the “real android” and it’s best to check the company’s track record of updates. It seems like you just reworded my point while missing that I just stated the same thing.
- Comment on Microsoft cuts ties with the Surface Duo after just 2 Android version updates 9 months ago:
And what phone runs that source without manufacturer tweaks?
- Comment on Microsoft cuts ties with the Surface Duo after just 2 Android version updates 9 months ago:
The “real version”? There is no “real version” of Android. I wouldn’t pick Microsoft specifically because they don’t have a track record of supporting their phones.

Some devices, like Android, do this automatically. By default they have randomized mac enabled.

You’re getting down voted but this is the first logical argument I’ve heard for not eating the crust.
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
I agree with you. I think that they think they’re being “cool” and patriotic while actually being completely ignorant to flag code and about the no quarter flag.
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
No, the American flag in all black is literally a flag of traitors. The south used it as a symbol that they would rather die than surrender during the Civil War. Now whether or not somebody is actually intending to have that message or just wants a “cool” subdued flag is the questionable part.
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
That’s not why the starfield is on the other side. The starfield always belongs at the front. If that flag was flying from a pole and being carried by the person or vehicle that’s where the starfield would be and why that’s how it is applied. The flag should be moving forward, not retreating.
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
They think having flag themed everything is patriotic while having never actually read the flag code to know that it isn’t.
