That’s an interesting perspective. Please enjoy having our stupid bullshit slightly further away from your face for a while! My only option is sticking my head in this hole in the ground.

I could have guessed he was over 60 because he wasn’t live streaming the whole thing. Just an old school asshole, not an influencer.

This breaks decades-old norms meant to vet candidates for criminal history and conflicts of interest.

Come the fuck on. The FBI background checks are a “norm” too? Do we have actual laws for anything?

I went the route of modest homelab with some mini PCs/Pis/NAS, and a decidedly not modest sim racing rig.

I like to say that for my midlife crisis I bought all the cars. I’m very funny.

If they’re stunned by this then they’re gonna be catatonic for the next 4 years. I wonder what effect that’ll have on national security…

Restaurant, agriculture, construction, landscaping, etc. I’m assuming it’ll be any of

1. Prices skyrocketing
2. Industries collapsing
3. Money under tables and “officials” looking the other way

Probably all 3 though, in that order.

I love this so much. It’s perfect!

The amount I “qualified for” when applying for a mortgage was fucking insane. I would be completely under water if I had taken the bank up on that full amount. I assume plenty of people jump at the chance to spend huge piles of money they don’t have and will likely never have.

Most of the 6,303-name purge stemmed from errors on paperwork at the Department of Motor Vehicles, officials said. In many cases, legal citizens simply forgot to check a box indicating citizenship, registrars and other elections officials said. In other cases, rather than trying to evade detection, people flagged themselves as noncitizens while filling out the voter registration forms that the DMV automatically generates during routine transactions, Susan Beals, the Youngkin-appointed state elections commissioner, told lawmakers last month.

Yep figured as much.

Well that just sounds like New Jersey.

It is a pretty impressive demonstration of the error correction built into QR codes.
