For a long time, phone polls were conducted using landline numbers only (rather than calling anyone with a cell phone) but I don’t think that’s been true for quite a while now.

Must be that same idiot president of the Virgin Islands.

It’s the equivalent of those Facebook posts you see telling Zuck that you don’t consent to your data being stored and sold.

I can get on board with this theory. They’re also insanely slow and nearly as expensive as air travel. I understand some of this is due to the rail network and who owns it, but it still seems like Amtrak hasn’t improved one bit since the 1950s.

I googled “conveyancer” as I’m also unfamiliar with the term, and I think the results should answer any questions about it.

I dunno, just more identity politics from the right, apparently.

It was fascism either way, so you should be happy since you got what you were (and still are) asking for. You seem to be under the impression that the DNC had to support fascism when that isn’t the case and we can all confirm that it wasn’t the case now that they’ve lost yet another election with the exact same garbage strategy.

You sound like the type of guy who gets bad review after bad review at their job and when they get passed up for a promotion, blames it on something like DEI.

Absolutely nothing forced the DNC to take such a hard right stance this election after having previously lost using the same terrible strategy. They were more concerned with courting Republican voters and protecting Israel than preserving our democracy and now we’re paying the price for it.

It is a weird moment to take a stance against

I’ve held this stance since 2016, so keep reaching. It’s the DNC who’s continually pushed away their base election after election to the point that they’ve handed over control of the entire government to Republicans. If you want to talk about mental gymnastics, maybe you should start there. They’re supposed to be the opposition not controlled opposition.

How bad at self reflection do you have to be to see yourself cheering on Trump’s victory while thinking that you’re on the right side of anything.

You’re incredibly naive if you think fascism just took hold in 2024 and not decades ago. The status quo was fascism too.

The dude is laughing about genocide while fantasizing about additional genocides against people who disagree with him. He obviously has MAGA brain rot syndrome.

So it’s cool to support fascism just as long as you’re in the in-group at the time? There was zero need for Dems to support fascism but apparently Biden and Harris thought it was more important to protect it than defeat Donald Trump.

Because they misunderstood what the vote meant.

Whose job is it to inform voters if not the candidates themselves?

It wasn’t about electing a democrating candidate, it was about keeping Trump out of office*.

This mentality is exactly what allowed Democrats to move so far to the right and lose their base. This time around the Democratic candidates were literally engaging in genocide, attacking immigrants, and attacking the working class while trying to claim that they were the “good guys.” You can only do that when your sole appeal is “well at least we’re not Republicans” rather than having anything meaningful to point to to actually demonstrate that you deserve to win. Diet Republicanism isn’t appealing to anyone and these candidates completely and voluntarily chose to run on that platform even going as far as wasting weeks of campaigning in order to court Dick Cheney’s approval. It was another colossal fuck up by the DNC that once again lead to Donald Trump winning the presidency.

Maybe tell them you were using it to pay the new import taxes Trump implemented and that you thought it was the same thing.

A single hdd can be fast enough to serve UHD ripped 4k video, but it’s much closer to the limit than an ssd would be, and might not be a great experience if you will be doing anything else with that drive at that time.

You might be mixing up your units here as 4k UHD is typically <90Mb/s while large HDDs typically cap out at 120MB/s, which equates to 960Mb/s (bits vs bytes). You could likely stream 10 4k UHD movies at once from a single HDD before running into bandwidth issues and with the cost of SSDs versus HDDs, it’s almost a no-brainer to go with an HDD.

They’ll probably wait until two weeks after his arteries give out from all the McDonalds to file charges next time. Remember that it’s about generating headlines for brownie points, not about actually following through with things.

This is how people get started on the anti-science train. Next thing you know they’ll be talking about how bad vaccines are for the body.

The LAPD did one recently on a medical imaging office because apparently it’s suspicious that an office full of XRAY and MRI machines uses a lot of power.

I always always screenshot my QR code and present that at the gate. If we had rolling codes locked away in a proprietary app, I guarantee boarding will grind to a halt as there always seems to be some sort of access issue whether it be from the servers, user error, connection issues, etc not to mention people often have their hands full of crap which makes clicking through a bunch of app menus difficult.

Amber alerts do go out via phone alerts to everyone in the area. They’re probably just supplementing that with a Twitter post since you can refer back to it.
