You've led me astray! Haha, no worries. I probably should have figured that but I try not to assume that new information is false just because I haven't heard it before. The post as a whole primed me to think there was some missing piece of info I hadn't heard before.

Ah. Okay, grumpy physicist who objects to the term "God Particle" signing off. πŸ™ƒ

Interesting. I haven't heard of that breed before and I'm having trouble finding anything by searching - could you toss me a link or something?

Yeah... am I missing something here? I don't get the joke.

I'm also very disappointed in the so-called accomplishments of the Biden/Harris administration, but I firmly believe the DNC's complete unwillingness to run a primary without thumbing the scale is the main reason for how awful the last 12 years have been. If they could just run a normal goddamn primary without the bullshit we may be able to unify behind the nominee a little easier.

It would be nice if they could at least acknowledge the broken (removed?) PS4 to PS5 save transfer function. I was interested in some of the recent updates but found out those same updates had removed the feature I needed to continue my old save. So I just didn't play instead.

Hi, Negative Nancy here: what exactly should I take this to be other than either A) useless drivel or B) propaganda?

Because presidents are demonstrably not like us. They only come from the rich and they are fully above the law. They can decide, based on nothing but their own ego, that they need to run the country and anyone that stands in their way gets to be demonized by an extremely well-funded political party.

They can spend their entire career making student loan debt an unshakeable yolk for an entire generation and then pretend like they're doing something about it by following through on existing law and failing to do anything substantial.

That would basically cover my student loan payments, so it would be equivalent to loan forgiveness for me. Improve is an understatement, that would actually allow me to save money. Right now my wife and I make slightly above area median income and we're just treading water financially. This would be a game changer. We could actually consider having a kid.

My favorite is when systems will stealth truncate your password without telling you, but only when setting it. For some reason I often encounter this with systems truncating to 20 characters.

  • Set 24 character password: no error (secretly truncated to 20 characters).
  • Try to log in: credentials invalid (it checks the full 24 character one against the 20 character one).
  • Go to reset to what it should be, password can't be the same (again, stealth truncating to 20 characters).

Ours is the only Solar System, named after our star Sol. Others are generically called star systems or stellar systems.
