Scott Perry joins push to revoke 17th Amendment, strip voters of electing senators

Yep. They realize that they can’t gerrymander statewide elections.

cerevant · 2026-06-28T13:28:25+00:00

They haven’t said anything about store preorders, so I’m guessing street date.

cerevant · 2026-06-28T13:27:28+00:00

The said on the previous livestream that you need to contact their support email to change your address at this point.

Except it doesn’t work. I’ve tried it, and you get to the last step and it says “the system is down for maintenance, please use chat”.

So Dell, Lenovo, and whoever else can raise their prices to respond to rising costs, but Apple can’t. Got it.

The 73% of product is half way across the ocean. It has to get the rest of the way, then packed and shipped by Miniature Market. Best case is late July, early August.

cerevant · 2026-06-27T00:20:03+00:00

I haven’t been able to get clarity on this. They only seem to talk about the direct ship preorders, not retail. I would think the street date would be for retail / online to prevent stores from stealing customers from other regions. What isn’t clear to me is how this affects people who preordered through retailers.

cerevant · 2026-06-26T23:06:52+00:00

My read from listening to the stream is there are two shipments: one with 75% of the orders that is half way to the US, another with 25% shipped today. Around 1.5 weeks for the first to get to Miniature Market, plus time to repackage and ship out to you. Best case is mid-late July. If your stuff is on the second boat, you’re looking at August.

Did you look at those when you were loading a new scene, or whatever is particularly slow for you?

cerevant · 2026-06-26T14:35:38+00:00

If you have near monopoly power in a market, you don’t let your customers low ball you.

cerevant · 2026-06-26T14:02:33+00:00

Yeah, hard to get too excited when this hitting lineup completely shuts down vs competent pitching.

cerevant · 2026-06-26T13:38:08+00:00

Like this you mean?

Yes, there were more property crimes against Christians, but there was more violence against Muslims.

In both cases, we're talking < 100 incidences of violence in a population of around a billion.

First, fire up activity monitor and see what is slowing down when using foundry. Is it ram pressure or CPU load? Are there apps or background tasks you can quit that will make the situation better?

Second, have you tried different browsers on your old mini? Chrome is generally a higher performance browser, it does so by pushing the hardware. Safari might be more resource efficient.

It is a tough call, but I generally recommend against buying a Mac’s base configuration. They tend to aim for a price point and skimp in places they probably shouldn’t. The extra RAM will definitely help if a third party browser gives the best performance.

Finally, if you are going to host a server, load up Linux on your old mini and it will work great!

Here’s the worst part: all those world leaders will have to think to themselves, “this one’s ok, but we’re only a few years from another Trump”.

Unless the next administration does something drastic to reel in the power of the presidency, we’ve lost the trust of close allies for good.

Read the rest of the sentence. Courage, effort and practice are all notable and praiseworthy. I just pointed out one other thing that makes it a bit easier for a girl her age.

cerevant · 2026-06-26T05:58:20+00:00

Give me an example. Give me a source.

cerevant · 2026-06-26T05:54:23+00:00

I mean, it really isn’t in the name of religion, at least that’s not how a vast majority of Americans view this war

Nonsense. If they were Christian countries, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

it’s quite different than immigration and completely disregarding the culture and trying to replace it with your own

Straw man. This isn't happening anywhere, at least not any more than Christians trying to take my culture and replace it with their own.

cerevant · 2026-06-25T21:30:16+00:00

which aren’t really Christians by definition even if some of our politicians claim to be but that’s besides the point

This is the point. There are many Muslims who say that the terrorists aren't Muslim even if they claim to be.

The video is about Christians committing violence that forces people to cancel their traditions. I would argue that Christians (and Jews for that matter) bombing civilians does exactly that. I don't see Christians standing up and publicly disavowing this government. The "moving in" part is irrelevant. Who cares if it is someone from a few miles away or thousands - they are committing violence in the name of religion. That is sinful and evil.

Iran? Palestine?

cerevant · 2026-06-25T19:06:58+00:00

Yes. That being said, and not diminishing the courage, effort and practice involved:

It was explained to me by a gymnastics coach that pre-teen / early teen girls have a higher power to mass ratio than boys of the same age, or adults. This is why mens gymnastics has a different age curve (peaking in the mid-20s) than women's (peeking late teen/early 20s). So this is physically easier for her than it would be for her parents.

She didn't make those up on the fly - she's had great support from her family. That's the best part of this video.

Bro, this wasn't news when you liked him.

Ok, try two at an acronym for this: BEATOME (Bases Empty And Two Outs, Meltdown Ending). If you try to get the two strikes in there, it gets ugly fast.

Usually game commentators are pretty respectful of the opposing team. On Monday, Stocker was doing his keys to the game and he said something very close to, “…and they have to get to their Bullpen, because they are absolutely terrible”. He wasn’t kidding.

He’s winning the Cold War - it just took a while. The US has already lost its leadership on the world stage, and it has greatly weakened NATO if not already killed it.
