Surprised the hell out of my history teacher when I had the answer for what number President Warren Harding was. Took me a minute and a half to get to that point of the song though lol

May we continue to live long and prosper

AMD is doing really great things with APUs like the Steam Deck. I just got a travel mini PC with a Ryzen 7 7840U. It can play most games at 1080p high quality with 30fps and fits in the palm of my hand.

It might be a while before you can play VR on an APU but they’re already comparable to GPUs from 5 years ago

White nose syndrome has also nearly wiped out bats in the states as well, seriously compounding the problem

People with inattentive disorder like using devices too

BAR is an amazing RTS! So many units on screen and 24 player games!

That is fun, the only other media I’ve seen like that is Quest for Fire (1981) starring Ron Pearlman

I just left Niagara falls a few days ago and they are erecting barricades like they’re prepping for Canada to invade lol

In America it used to be you could just bribe your governor and they’d deploy the national guard to kill striking worker’s families like the Ludlow Massacre and the Battle of Blair mountain.

I just made this decision and ended up getting an EM780, it’s a gaming APU PC that fits in the palm of your hand and uses an improved version of the chip in the steam deck.

“Comcast is discontinuing its its “Xfinity 10G Network” branding to describe its internet service after a National Advertising Review Board (NARB) panel found that the term could mislead consumers into thinking that Comcast’s cellular and broadband services would offer much faster speeds than current-generation networks.”

Funny timing, the same week the federal government announced that they’re considering suing Warren Buffett for $625 million for setting California on fire several times.

YSK it could end up potentially costing you. For instance by agreeing to the McDonalds TOS when you launch the app you are waiving your right to sue.

Well TIL, I always thought that executive orders were a way to bypass Congress. I know that there was a Democratic Congress in 1971, I wonder why they rubber stamped that for Nixon.

That has never stopped presidents before. In response to inflation in 1971 President Nixon issued an executive order making it illegal to raise prices for several months and before him FDR went even farther with rationing and controlling wages.

Inflation is actually super easy to control. You just need to be willing to threaten business leaders with serious jail time.

Also the historically accurate answer according to the men in the room!

“You want to know what this [war on drugs] was really all about? The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying?

We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.

Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

~ John Ehrlichman, Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs under President Richard Nixon

The investment class realized it’s way more profitable to cellar box a struggling company and that you can short sell the stock and never have to pay up when the company goes bankrupt. Free money!

41% of the land in the US is used for meat production, and 1/3rd globally. The Amazon rainforest is being slashed and burned for cattle farming. Animal agriculture means habitat destruction and is a large part of why 21 species were declared extinct in the US this past year. We can and must fight them both.
