Vance becomes president. Whether you party is up to you.
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 5 days ago:
Left of the US Senate center, or maybe the Senate Democrat center. Not the whole US. And I mean in the 1980s, not now.
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 5 days ago:
Absolutely not. Type “Lamont Lieberman” (without the quotes) into a search engine for more info. Also “Clinton puma”.
- Comment on Can someone give me atleast 5 examples of Democrats being against the working class? 6 days ago:
Anyone who actually does their homework knows Democrats are far and away the party of the working class compared to Republicans.
“Compared to Republicans” is a pretty low bar, just sayin’ :).

The High Table sends an adjucator with a special type of haircut. I think the hair style has a name, but I don’t know it.
- Comment on Why is it difficult to get low-level remote jobs 2 weeks ago:
Try charging more so people will take you more seriously. That works surprisingly well a lot of the time.

- Comment on Why is it difficult to get low-level remote jobs 2 weeks ago:
Those sorts of jobs are filled from low-wage countries.
- Comment on Did Trump vote? Could he have? 2 weeks ago:
Florida isn’t one of those states though, but on the other hand Trump’s felonies are from NY and are under appeal. So OP’s question is interesting.

ELIZA? Or maybe just a rubber duck as used by programmers.
- Comment on (In Python) Can you save an object that is in memory to disk and reload it at a later time? 2 weeks ago:
The quick answer is to use a serialization/deserialization library like pickle. You can’t just dump a binary image and reload it in any simple way.
- Comment on What is stopping the vice president from ever murdering the president? 2 weeks ago:
I’m sure analogous situations have come up many times in history, such as in the Roman empire. Part of the answer has been to be careful who you pick as VP. Trump picked Pence partly because Pence (at the time) seemed to have no presidential ambitions. It worked reasonably well, since Pence could have (politically) put the shiv into Trump during either of Trump’s two impeachments. If Trump becomes president again, he’ll likely get impeached at least a couple more times, so we’ll see if Vance is similarly loyal.
- Comment on Is it okay to take drugs to make yourself a better person? Does it make a difference if "better" is mental or if it's physical? 3 weeks ago:
It’s ok if you call then medicines instead of drugs. Otherwise maybe ok anyway.

I guess we will find out, maybe.

- Comment on Can Bash aliases be nested? 4 weeks ago:
I think it might not work with the spaces. But if it does, then you are fine.
- Comment on Can Bash aliases be nested? 4 weeks ago:
I think you don’t want the spaces around the= sign. Preferred over alias is function llaa { … }. Alias is for backwards compatibility.

This is not ham gear and it is spammy.
- Comment on These Undecided Michigan Voters Really Aren’t All That Undecided 4 weeks ago:
Spoiler: they dislike both candidates but collectively lean Trump.
- Comment on On Fox News, Harris Proves She’s Tough 5 weeks ago:
NYT has seemed like a Harris campaign arm for months, but Harris has dropped a bunch in the polls in just the past few days. Trump is the current favorite from what I can tell. I have no idea what is happening on the ground in the swing states though, so maybe things are volatile. From out here, it’s quiet.
- Comment on Do you actually care about your friend's new baby, vacation abroad or similar life events or are you just being nice? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t get all wrapped up in imagining sharing the experience or anything like that, but it’s always nice to get a factual update about the other person. And if they have something interesting to say about whatever it is, that’s good too.
- Comment on Trump’s Speeches, Increasingly Angry and Rambling, Reignite the Question of Age 1 month ago:
Might not be age.

Dunno about the terminology but they usually don’t have freezers.
- Comment on Is it realistic to set up a HTPC that doesn't need a keyboard or mouse? 1 month ago:
No I was thinking more like a web front end for command line media player programs, mplayer or whatever. There must be such scripts available.
- Comment on Is it realistic to set up a HTPC that doesn't need a keyboard or mouse? 1 month ago:
I’d just run a web server on it and operate it from a phone.
- Comment on Hurricane Helene Deaths Will Continue for Years, Study Suggests | Research on hundreds of tropical storms finds that mortality keeps rising for more than a decade afterward 1 month ago:
I don’t really care about it that much. I can usually see enough of the NYT article to tell whether it’s interesting, and then use a paywall bypass if i want to read it. Or in this case I just did a web search and found the Boston Globe article.
- Comment on Hurricane Helene Deaths Will Continue for Years, Study Suggests | Research on hundreds of tropical storms finds that mortality keeps rising for more than a decade afterward 1 month ago:
Yeah the gift link doesn’t work for me. it gives the first few paragraphs of the article and stops. I didn’t feel like diagnosing it and in this case the headline was clickbait, so i went and pasted the spoiler from a web search.
- Comment on Hurricane Helene Deaths Will Continue for Years, Study Suggests | Research on hundreds of tropical storms finds that mortality keeps rising for more than a decade afterward 1 month ago:
(Boston globe non-paywalled version)
Just how storms contribute to people’s deaths after the immediate impact is something that needs further study, Hsiang said. But he theorized it includes the health effects of stress, changes in the environment including toxins, people not being able to afford health care and other necessities because of storm costs, infrastructure damage and government changes in spending.
- Comment on At what point when learning a new language do someone become bilingual? 1 month ago:
When you can speak and think in the new language without translating to your native language in your head, maybe? That can actually happen pretty fast. You don’t have to become anywhere near fluent.
