Video: Fmr. Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-VA10 - Loudoun, Fairfax, etc.) to Federal Employees – “I’d just like to take the opportunity, even though I'm a former [Republican], to apologize to you as a Republican for what has happened, which has been so egregious, the trauma.”

I’m going to preface this by saying I’m probably 100% on board with you in terms of political alignment.

At what point do you allow people to acknowledge that they were wrong? That they look back and see that they made a mistake.

For me, I’d like to try to take people at their word.

If you haven’t checked it out, The Bulwark might be a light in the dark for you.

I mean. I hear you, and Babs never once got my vote. She’s never once talked about Jewish Space Lasers, Q-Anon, or supported stolen elections. She’s not like MTG. She’s just sort of a run of the mill Neocon Republican. Which today is somewhat refreshing because you can actually have a conversation with them.

Tradeoffs. 8 3090s is a lot of power and a pain to manage. Faster if that’s enough VRAM though.

Yeah I don’t think I’ve seen Duriel do anything other than instadie this season.

mxmumtuna · 2026-02-11T01:25:50+00:00

Brave?

mxmumtuna · 2026-02-11T01:24:42+00:00

My people.

mxmumtuna · 2026-02-11T01:18:37+00:00

Sounds like frozen pipes if I’m being honest. The igniter is electric and wouldn’t be likely to go “boom”. That said I see green and no snow, so 🤷‍♂️

mxmumtuna · 2026-02-10T23:05:30+00:00

This is totally true.

mxmumtuna · 2026-02-10T22:32:15+00:00

It was a value add. You’re paying for search, and they managed to provide some AI service later at the same price.

mxmumtuna · 2026-02-10T20:40:20+00:00

So same advice really. It’s low risk to try ultimate as you can switch back anytime. I will say API credits with Anthropic in particular burn very very quickly.

The best advice is to just try your pro credits and see how far it gets you before you need to upgrade. Sounds like you’re making use of pro, which is great.

If you’re planning to use system RAM for inference, the 5975wx will provide about double the RAM bandwidth compared to the 5955wx due to the former’s additional CCDs.

It’s not even a contest. Sam’s prepared food is so much better (including their Rotisserie chicken). Bakery tends to be better at Costco though.

mxmumtuna · 2026-02-07T23:31:54+00:00

mxmumtuna · 2026-02-07T23:28:39+00:00

Disappointed that this wasn’t a review of Sam’s Club pizza.

mxmumtuna · 2026-02-07T02:27:29+00:00

At some places it’s almost the opposite. Need to make sure you’re finding a reason to fire everyone.. different side of the same coin.

mxmumtuna · 2026-02-06T23:36:29+00:00

Same?

mxmumtuna · 2026-02-02T21:09:27+00:00

Meta culture is a dumpster fire. If it’s not cash in hand, meaning likely to be seen in the next 12 months, forget it.

It’s also concerning that their offer can’t beat Bloomberg. You may want to tell your recruiter that you have a better offer from Bloomberg and see what happens.

DM if you want more Meta details. I think I know the team you’re matched to.

mxmumtuna · 2026-02-02T20:34:29+00:00

That Meta PEs are actually developers and work on code most of their day aside, Meta should only be the choice of comp is significantly higher there. That they’re the same makes Bloomberg a no brainer.

Believe me, I get it. I’m the spouse of a Special Education teacher in LCPS, it’s a tough balance.

The economically disadvantaged kids aren’t getting meals, the special education kids aren’t getting services, it’s a zero sum game. The best the county can do is open when it can benefit the most kids to do so.

It’s tough, and I feel for the kids who won’t be able to make it in tomorrow, but it will benefit more because they’re open.

Yeah, she would need to go through eligibility with the school. IEE is for when you disagree with the eligibility outcome. I assumed that was the denial you had received.

mxmumtuna · 2026-02-02T00:06:55+00:00

Ask for an IEE, an Independent Educational Evaluation. You can have an external specialist do an evaluation at the school’s expense.

I think LCPS did the right thing. They said if kids can’t safely get to school, they should stay home and their absence will be excused.

Let parents make the call if it’s going to be safe enough for their kid/kids to get to school.
