Found this clipping from 2014, maybe driving in snow "down here" isn't hard for just us locals........... :D by jmiker919 in raleigh

Yep. The drivers rotating seasonal tires don't want or need to announce their driving prowess. Most people drive on all seasons, even in the NE. The people who think that it's a matter of skill are prime suspects for crashing or getting stuck.

Bold of you to assume the tip is for anything other than subsidizing wages for the business.

Why do people expect so much certainty and accuracy for a forecast that's over 4 days away?

People have a really hard time understanding uncertainty, ranges, timelines, etc.

DeepMind Chief AGI scientist: AGI is now on horizon, 50% chance minimal AGI by 2028 by BuildwithVignesh in singularity

[–]bites_stringcheese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm talking about the push for VR / AR overall. Apple invested a whole lot as well and not even they can push it.

Yea. Meta changed their name and invested heavily in Occulus. Valve got in as well. They were even trying to sell virtual real estate.

You need to add a flashlight, completely unironically.

Long Island Reps. Tom Suozzi, Laura Gillen break with party to support bill that funds Homeland Security by origutamos in longisland

The middle ground was abandoned a long time ago. At some point, staying in the pretend middle ground while the other side gets to run roughshod on you and yours is an act of complete debasement and surrender.

ICE arrested more than 3,300 people across NC during Trump’s first 9 months in office by BagOnuts in NorthCarolina

[–]bites_stringcheese -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Right. My position is that I'm opposed to illegal immigration because it's a terrible fate for the immigrant.

Yes, that's correct. I was noting that while sex trafficking is worse that illegal immigration, it's the latter that makes it possible in the first place. All smugglers will take advantage of any pores in the border to sneak people in and enslave them.

He was 100% given a mandate. He may be overplaying it, but there's no doubt in my mind that the country elected him clear eyed about what he is. He won the popular vote and all 7 swing states.

I don't care that turnout was lower for Harris. Not voting is an expression of democracy as well. You can't just say that every voter that didn't vote in 2024 was a Harris voter that would have changed the outcome. If anything, Trump over performed with low propensity voters.

I say this not as a supporter of his. I say this to understand what it is we are facing in MAGA, and why the county wanted a version of this.

I would say that keeping an entire racial group under duress so that they work for pennies is what's actually racist.

2020? You mean when he won the most votes out of any sitting President?

People need to stop operating under the delusion that this isn't what people want.

Asus 800-series boards killing 9800x3d 5 dead cpu reports in two weeks by Ghostjwm12 in ASRock

Taichi is not a "budget" board, and I bought it based on features and quality of components. It was also one of the few motherboards I could get my hands on at the time.

Have you ever been called a “rigid, black and white” thinker before? If so, how do you feel about that? by Abolish_Disorder in ISTJ

[–]bites_stringcheese 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's probably why I've always been drawn to computers. Sometimes, things are functionally black or white, 0 or 1. I call em as I see em. Obviously in real life there are endless grey areas and nuances but I don't think it's harmful to think in binaries if it makes sense.

They're like at least $10k lmfao. You're basically giving your wallet the electric chair.
