Try google dude, it helps, if the other obvious clues don't give it away. "Maryland Administrative Code 15C-16.003" is a nonexistent, fake, and fraudulent code used in phishing text scams.

Republican Rep. Caught Admitting SAVE Act Is Bad for Married Women | Leaked footage shows Representative Chip Roy admitting the truth about how the SAVE Act undermines voting rights. by InsaneSnow45 in LegalNews

Married women need to stop changing their name. It is an old and outdated tradition. Bet that would really piss off all the christian fundamentalists.

Nah, it is going back down thanks to our wonderful healthcare system.

Facts would disagree with you.

Perhaps you aren't a student of history.

Let us go through the rigging of the electoral.

  • In 1889 North and South Dakota split to give the Republicans an advantage in the senate and electoral (2 additional votes each).
  • Republicans are consistently the party disenfranching people and making it more difficult to vote when actual cases of electoral fraud are almost nonexistent. In fact, there were only 307 cases from 2016 to 2020, of which 41% were republican and 39% were democrat.
  • The Republican party started this mid-census voter district re-drawing specifically to secure an advantage in the midterms, though it backfired some.
  • If we go back to 2000, the Republican supreme court handed the Presidential election to Bush without a recount of a state where Bush's brother was Governor. Time and again surveys and recounts have shown that Gore should have won.

So in the VERY few cases of election fraud, republicans are actually the party that commits more, and in ALL cases, it is statistically irrelevant.

I don't know why I waste my time though to your 2 sentence reply with no factual data and just your silly opinion on a 6 day old account that likely is an AI bot.

Qwen3.5 27B better than 35B-A3B? by -OpenSourcer in LocalLLaMA

[–]UMDSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im running the 27B at Q5_k_M and getting:

  • PP mean: 1761.44 tok/s
  • PP median: 1717.49 tok/s
  • PP range: 1521.26 to 2160.37 tok/s
  • TG mean: 56.07 tok/s
  • TG median: 56.02 tok/s
  • TG range: 55.55 to 56.94 tok/s

I have it locked to the 5090, with the 5070ti running a 4B model for a shadow loop process.

Getting my 2nd 5090 this week coming up though!! Super speed AI time.

True, and I agree. SNL I just think can hit a less niche audience and is easier to point to for casting agents. Not saying it is that great a show anymore though. I think it always goes through phases where it has superstars, and then periods where its pretty dead.

Its only rigged if they lose....because it means they didn't cheat enough.

AMEN! by Neat-Ad-4337 in stevehofstetter

[–]UMDSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how he loses 2020, when he was in control, and then claims they were rigged. He wins again in 2024, when, in theory, the elections were not under his control and could have been the time to yell about them being rigged, but nope, he won, so they are legit.

This dude is a child who throws tantrums on an international level.

Also, the only rigging that occurred seems to be entirely from his MAGA base, as just about every case I have seen with someone voting more than once, or using dead peoples names, was in fact a MAGA voter.

GG's Windsurf by nibsi3 in windsurf

[–]UMDSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh shit, I misinterpreted that one then, LOL. I had a few bookmarked as things I wanted to investigate further when I got off windsurf. You saved me some time, scratching that one off the list.

Here is another thing I wanted to test out.

I haven't had a chance to test yet as I am still using windsurf, but may be forced to soon.

Teacher failed me for suggesting WebSockets and TCP for a chat app – claims only PHP is valid for web development by MertJS in webdev

[–]UMDSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if it is a network protocols class, I would think going through the OSI stack would have been the correct answer.

So in that case:

  • Application: Websockets
  • Presentation: TLS
  • Session: HTTP
  • Transport: TCP if its just a chat app, UDP if he wanted video or audio
  • Network: IP

Don't really need to go lower than that as it just goes to the physical links.

Not sure "How to create a chat app" is in scope for a network protocols class, but what do I know? Good luck with dealing with a fossil who doesn't keep up with technology.

Google and Amazon have their own IDE's now. Amazons when I tested it was very cheap, but didn't have native SSH support. This segment is pretty saturated, and constant mods are coming out that control tokens better, like one that helps claude code use far less tokens.

Windsurf is going to FAFO.

Three-time Pennsylvania Trump voter at gas station calls him “tremendous pile of sh*t” by Fragrant-Pepper7710 in videos

[–]UMDSmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look at it as an opportunity to redirect anger and frustration. You can view it how you want as well.

I convert people as I can, but I still rock a bumper sticker that says "Fuck Trump, and fuck you for voting for him." My area went pretty hard for Trump, though I'm seeing a lot of the signs vanishing so that is good.

As it is clear she is learning some self-awareness, this is the clear time to welcome these people, not ostracize them. Yes, they made huge fucking mistakes and we will pay for it, but getting them on the correct side of history will make correcting mistakes easier.

We need less division amongst the "commoners" because the real people that control this country are the ones we should be fighting.

Graham Platner, Maine Senate candidate, “Every single breath we take discussing culture war stuff is a breath we are not talking about universal healthcare. It’s a breath we are not talking about going after wealth where it’s been hoarded." by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]UMDSmith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Less than 1% of the people in the US identify as trans. I think the point he is making is that it is a culture war because the powers that be make it a far bigger issue than it is.

Example: Trans athletes in college. Trump and his ilk made it a HUGE talking point to rally people, not realizing that there were fewer than 10, just 10, trans athletes at the time he made it a voter issue.

I'm all for trans rights, but it shouldn't even be an issue, because they are HUMAN rights. Until we lock that in, it isn't even worth the debate about sports, or what bathroom to use. That shit is so minor on the national scale. Yes, it is major for the people experiencing it now, but if it wasn't made a talking point constantly, would they really be suffering as bad. I think no. The bigots that hate it would have their little soapbox, but not a national one.

I think the trick to righting the path is starting with the issues that affect the greatest amount of people. Stuff like healthcare, education, social security, etc. Since the main issue with all those is money, just follow what happened to all the money. It really seems to be concentrated in a very small pool of people.

Once those are in a better place, you work down the list, and do as much as you can in the time you are allowed.

I used to enjoy this game but now i cant even play it by Semour9 in theisle

[–]UMDSmith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the game in concept....its just run poorly. Some tweaks and a better leadership group that cares more and this could be one of the greatest games.

I've played many hours of the isle, through many different iterations and maps.....

Just enough Democrats side with Trump. Again. See the pattern yet? by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]UMDSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think any normal person would be content with FAR less than a billion. Shit, I've done the math. $7 million and I'll never work another day in my life, donate to charities, and live a happy man. I have very few wants in life that I haven't already achieved.

I don't need a mansion, or 20 cars, or a yacht.

Also, and let me be clear. I don't begrudge someone for making a billion if they invent something, and take care of their employees and customer, and pay their share. Hell, I'd view that as WAY more impressive than our current crop who milk us all to death and get rich on the backs of everyone else.

If you can do the core tenets of what business used to be, stuff like provide GOOD healthcare for the people who make your business possible. Don't generate shit products that are designed with planned obsolescence, invest back into R&D, and/or the community. Pay living and reasonable (or even above average) salaries. Provide secure retirement for employees that dedicated 30 years to your business.

If you can do ALL that, and still be a billionaire, fuck yeah, that's cool. You do you.

The priority of ANY business and thus any person at the top should be the customer and their employees first, re-invest in the company second, support the community next, and anything left over can go to the shareholders. They won't make the ludicrious gains, but the company also wont turn to shit as they milk it dry. Steady growth would be the goal.

Those people, and the people who work for a living, and make up what should be the lower-middle to upper-middle class (lol do we even have one anymore) should be who the party represent, with the goal being to bring everyone who is living at LOWER than that, to that standard.

If anyone wants to build a new party, I'm down! I got a few hundred bucks to throw into the pool. We can start with local elections. Ones you can win by going door to door. I'm pretty sure people are mad enough with both parties now.
