I think more people know about Arch from it being mentioned than who actually use it. Actually I think more people know about Arch from the meme of an Arch user mentioning it than who have mentioned using it.

Bills don’t often get passed on the first try. If anything you should be critical that this is only the second time, it ought to be a constant attempt to change a system that seemingly everyone not making a profit from is against. I’ll also say that the only way anything like this will get passed is through the left, the right does not want everyone to get a vote. So it will likely fail again somewhere unless the ratio of left-right shifts. As is true of any bills that favor the public good.

Bills are often started by one or a few people to get voted on by others. It will be resisted, but not by the side that would do well with a ranked choice with other left-sided third parties.

I know it’s not the point, but this gives me anxiety. Not a fan of crowds at all. I would take one look and leave.

Same, except I snatched up both the theater and extended the minute they came out and have watched through them all numerous times. As well as now watched a lot of reaction videos for them, which I guess counts too. It’s fun to reexperience the first time through someone else’s eyes.

Lord of the Rings.

I accept the concept from “The Man from Earth” movie/play as canon. Maybe not in that particular way, but in how it went from a nice philosophy by a guy that mushroomed into something he would not have recognized.

We already knew this before, I think we were just hoping that it would bounce back some or we’d stop doing what we do. A fool’s hope.

Socialism, democratic socialism, and socialist democrats are related ideas, complex themselves, but not the same thing as usually used in political discussions where labels are thrown around. Same with liberals, leftists, and generally the left. Everyone uses these simplified words in their soundbites, assuming the other people hearing them agree with the meanings used, and usually they are completely different. No wonder we can’t agree on anything.

I’m sure many don’t have the hardware to run local, but for most things that will probably work just as well as the full models, plus you can modify them and experiment. Start with Ollama as the base to run them, and see what works best. I tend to primarily use the edited uncensored versions of llama3 like the Neural Daredevil variations.

But just remember at any model’s base, even the biggest and best, they are at the core a predictor. This works great for some uses, not so well for others. Don’t use a screwdriver for a hammer…at least not until they merge them to be able to do both well.

The good news is that hospitalization rates haven’t gone up much. I find it funny that following a link to figure that out got me to the CDC main page where the first warning wasn’t about Covid, but about the West Nile virus cases rising.

You’re correct on all those, but OP was talking about people who praise the Affordable Care Act but vote for politicians who say they want to get rid of Obamacare. Those people aren’t using the system but want better, they are just ignorant that the two are the same thing.

Now we absolutely could do better, but it’s better than what we had, and Republicans still want to get rid of it, even with less ties to Obama in name now. They truly hate people.

I don’t like extra dots simply because pattern matching might get weird down the road. Keep dots for extension type and use Pascal to make it easier to read multiple words. Flatcase only if it’s short or I’m lazy for a temp file.

Third Miele. Might be a bit more than the usual, but some things you have to pay more to avoid having to buy cheap two or three times. I love the adjustable power, so you can clean delicate things or stuff that would get sucked up easily. The full power isn’t all that loud either compared to others we’ve had.

I still see people talk about the pandemic for the US and use the word “shutdown”, and I’m like…when? Maybe the first days or week, then the economists chimed in with, “we’ve got to make things go again”. There were a lot of people forced to work-at-home or even laid off for a bit, but there was absolutely not a real shutdown. We wouldn’t have survived. Thankfully the “essential worker” label got tagged on just about anyone working a low level job (but not really compensated for that effort), and lots of niches opened up for people needing stuff delivered.

No, hand made masks. Especially when it surprises the officials who should have known it was possible and beefed up supplies of the real thing. The first few months of Covid were a wild ride on knowing what would be the best choices of DIY protection, and Etsy and other sites were crazy.

And if/when the increase cap doesn’t go through, they’ll lower the rent back down. Right?

Right?

I actually have two robot vacs and tested that first thing, switching them out to see if the error followed the robot.

Good point. It looks fine so far, but apparently not only overcharging (which I think isn’t a problem since the charger seems to detects current flow) but deep discharging could lead to this. So my running it down until it stops could eventually get things unstable. And it’s enclosed so I’d have to literally remove the cover regularly to make sure it’s okay. I guess that was what I was looking for, something that might be a problem down the road. Thanks.

I didn’t think of using the switch to hold a charge. Might be a good test, to see if the battery can hold what little it takes. I’m just mainly concerned about the lithium overheating more than anything. If it gets tedious then I’ll spend some money.
