A single substation outage causes a "massive" blackout in the capital? It’s not even the first time either.

Seems more like a mismanagement issue.

I for one ascribe the blame to at least 40 years of pseudoscience -- neoclassical economic theory [1] -- pushed by neoliberal economists. These same neoliberal economists are often backed by the rich (fuck you "Chicago School of Economics" [2]) . For decades they have pushed this narrative of "government bad" and "private sector" good. Taxing the rich only means you punish the people you want to help (middle and lower socioeconomic classes). This pseudoscience gave birth to the godawful economic policy of "trickle down economics".

Decades of:

  • defunding public services (by both parties, by the way) to make way for tax cuts for the wealthy
  • middle class wage stagnation (ie, take for example the minimum wage and sub-minimum wage for tipped employees)
  • decimation of union participation and subsequently power to labor
  • cheap money backed by the faith of the US govt and given to the ultra wealthy as a means of extracting wealth from the people -- see private equity

Want to know why many people are easily manipulated? They can't afford the same lifestyle as their parents. Drowning in debt to greedy capitalist pigs. Years of this cycle and once the algorithms detect this, you can be easily turned into cannon fodder for the ultra wealthy.

"hey bro, your life is shit because immigrants took yer job!! Govt trying to inject microchips into you! Join the FrEEdOm CoNvOy!"

Get us into fighting a culture war against each other, when we should be banding together and fighting a class war.

Fuck the billionaire class.

Not looking forward to the next 4 years.

4 more years of massive deficit spending (tax cuts for the rich, bullshit trickle down economic theory), more money flowing to the billionaire class, public services getting decimated in funding, and regulatory agencies already knee capped with SCOTUS overturning “Chevron deference”.

These tariffs (or threats of tariffs) only stand to benefit billionaires and companies. As we learned during pandemic, companies often increased the cost of items even though the internal supply chain was not actually impacted. It was a way to squeeze consumers under the guise of “supply chain issues”.

Anything Microsoft built lately is dogshit. They turned Windows into a steaming pile of shit over the past 20 years. When you think it can’t get any worse, they somehow raise the bar on disappointment.

No doubt it will be loaded with a shit ton of tracking/telemetry to build new datasets and train LLMs. Mining data from kids/teenagers and building those ad profiles early on is key.

Repairability will likely be shit as well.

What a wild timeline this is. Dude sacrificed himself to life in prison to potentially inspire a generation of change.

A crazy twist would be Biden (shit even Trump) pardoning this guy not out of wrongful persecution but rather to deplatform him from giving the health industry a bad rap and possibly inspiring other murders.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 3 months ago (7 children)

Wild. Caught with the fake ID used to check in to the hostel; the gun (ballistics likely to confirm if same one used in hit); and walking around in public while a multi-state manhunt is underway. The balls on this dude, lmao.

I thought he would have fled the USA by now using a ticket bought in advance. Guess he wasn’t as smart as we thought. Or just got complacent.

Alternative theory: he wanted to get caught, and put on a display in front of the courts and get a message out.

Sounds like a desperate tactic to get perpetrator to make mistakes (ie, tickets bought hastily to leave country). Sudden plans to leave the country or travel domestically are often flagged by the feds for follow up. The practice was supposedly put on hold [1] but wouldn’t surprise me if it’s used in situations like this.

In my opinion, police wouldn’t bother releasing this statement. If it was real, investigation would continue and the next statement/story would be “we have the person in custody”.

I call bullshit.

Probably just AI generated slop. Didn’t even bother with using the in house PR team on it.

Never protested my taxes before. Has anybody here done this in the past by your self? Or have you delegated to one of these companies that protests on your behalf?

Seems the catch is with these companies is that they charge a % of what you supposedly save. But also wondering if the process is “easy” enough that I can get my own appraisal, present that during hearing, and be done with it.

 

It's been awhile folks, but found another one! This time on a show called "Gut Job".

Context: looking to build a 4K gaming setup and maintain at least 120 fps. Occasional video editing involved.

Haven’t built a PC in a long time (7-8 yrs at least). Other PC was an Intel but decided to go with AMD this time around since it appears there is minimal difference in terms of performance.

As far as GPU selection, doesn’t seem like there is much diff between 4080 and 4090 so decided to go with the former.

As far as memory and disk, I do realize 128G and 8TB of disk drive is excessive. These might be the areas I will shave off some $$$

For PSU, decided to go with the top tier choice as indicated in this list: https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

PSU is something I would prefer not to skimp on. Also PCpartpicker does not list “ASUS | ROG Loki Platinum” for some reason and just selected a similar model.

Open to suggestions, critique, or roast 😂

Maybe it's just me, but I find the default tab group behavior in Safari to be complete ass. It doesn't have the natural Apple feel to it. It feels like an after thought that Apple developers threw in there to compete with Chrome.

Why do I have to open up a separate menu to get to my tab groups? Why can't it be integrated into the same window like Chrome does? Every time I switch between tab groups, it has to reload every site.
