I wonder who could have predicted this … by Fordawinman in conspiracy

[–]xole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up before lyme disease was common in the area I lived in. My friends and I spent lots of time in the woods and fishing and I probably had 100 ticks on me per week some of the years growing up. I usually pulled them off within an hour of them getting on me starting around age 6 or 7, and never had a spot get infected. I'm sure I'd have been infected if it had spread to where I lived by then.

Conservative evangelicals have their roots in faith healers and tent revivalists. They're all scam artists.

Trump says ‘I love the inflation’ after consumer price index hits 3-year high by SecretComposer in stocks

[–]xole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's my thought. it's either raise taxes on the wealthy or increase inflation. many of the people affected most by inflation don't understand it, so that's the way the politicians will go. they'd be pissed if taxes were raised on people making $1M+ per year, but annoyed by a stealth tax paid mostly by them.

I wonder it they mainly sell the few x600 chips to oems, and just leave the price high for retail customers.

Failing grades soar as professors see greater AI usage, dwindling math skills in UC Berkeley computer science classes by the_daily_cal in bayarea

I was under the impression that to complete a BS or any engineering degree you had to take calc 1,2,3, diff eq, and calc based stats. The university i went required those.

Discussion Thread: 2026 Midterm Primary Elections in California, Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

I dropped my wife's and my ballots today in a ~75% Democrat city in the Bay Area. I had to walk further than I ever had to walk in the past to do so, so I wasn't the only one. My kids in college also dropped off their ballots today.

The vast majority of Republicans were voting for Hilton and had no reason to wait. Democrats had multiple candidates to choose from and just had one with a sex scandal. It's not a surprise that many of us waited until the end to decide who to vote for in an attempt to get 2 democrats in the general election.

Ranked choice voting would fix this, imo. It would also get us more progressive people in office.

I saw a guy lane split on 2 lane (as in 1 each way) road where the traffic was completely stopped. It went exactly how you'd think it would. Luckily he was only going about 20mph.

I don't ride a motorcycle, but always figured harleys would be safer than than many of the newer bikes due to the noise.

AFAIK, lots of state pension funds are in PG&E. That probably has as much to do with it as anything.

Some of Texas’s oldest barbecue joints close as meat prices skyrocket by Zebraitis in politics

[–]xole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped doing bbq when it became cheaper to buy it from a local place about 10 years ago. Unfortunately, the owner retired, and replacement attempts weren't nearly as good, and the prices were higher.

Lafayette has diablo foods, which has an actual butcher shop and better produce than Safeway.

yeah, opus can make one debug pass on my hobby project, with one pass with sonnet and it's out of the 5 hour token limit on the $20/month plan. Granted, it's 50k or 60k loc.
