Respectfully, you may have skimmed some material or watched a couple of minutes of MSNOW, because you wouldn't come to the conclusion that the DSA just wants free public transportation otherwise. Key aspects of the DSA's goals and the actual policy implementation actions of elected DSA-aligned politicians that are quite well aligned with the position of a person holding communist and other relatively extremist sympathies:

- state-controlled grocery stores [0]

- public ownership of the largest corporations and essential industries [1]

- abolition in full of police and prisons ("cut police budgets annually toward zero") [1]

- ending sanctions on states backing terrorist activities [1]

- permitting open, uncontrolled immigration [2]

- disregarding the existence of Israel ("democratic secular state [Palestine], from the river to the sea") [3]

- giving voting rights to noncitizens and prisoners [4]

Also, nobody is jumping to the conclusion that you’re wrong about something that is not actually happening. It’s just a simple fact that what you’ve stated is preposterous to begin with and is not the policy of any recent law or administration in the US.

- produces more electricity from wind generation than any other US state.

- consumes more electricity from wind generation than any other US state (3x the next biggest, Iowa).

- has more installed wind generation capacity than any other state.

- energy usage leads all other US states by being comprised of 22% wind generation sources.

I wrote the insurance company a detailed letter (helped by AI) containing evidence for the benefits of Zepbound over Wegovy and Zepbound over nothing, as well as documented the benefits I already experienced taking the medication. They approved coverage based on this pushback, and I just paid $25 for 3 months' supply.

Might be a potential avenue for some folks...

My understanding of their implementation is that it does caching on a per-worker basis with lower TTLs, so it balances caching with accuracy, but doesn't "fix" visibility to the problem either. However, it narrows the window such that their method of monitoring will very likely expose a pulled domain sooner.

Having incentive to produce useful outcomes seems like it would be something folks would be in support of, but it appears many here think this is the end of the world just because it's Trump doing it. At least there's consistency in that regard. Le sigh.

HipChat felt like a great featureset-to-complexity ratio. All-in-all good memories :)

I’m sorry for your loss of work. It’s very difficult in the current economic environment. I’ve been laid off twice in the last ~6 months in mass layoffs by large tech companies and finding employment has been a struggle, even as a senior and experienced individual in the industry.

> I still do not understand why Iran had to be attacked.

The Iranian regime has killed over 1000 Americans over the last 47 years of its rule and has been persuing nuclear armaments at all costs to itself and its people, because it’s led by religious fanatics bent on destroying all of western culture and society. Their leadership is not reasonable and has no survival instinct, even when they’re on their last leg (in some cases literally).

The US is in the precarious position of 1) resolving the issue with religious fanatics persuing nuclear weapons, 2) doing so with as little impact to the Iranian citizenry as possible, 3) spending blood and treasure to do so, 4) doing the world a favor while being critiqued for it every step of the way, and 5) doing all of this in the historical context of appeasement and kicking the can down the road by feckless former US leadership setting a precedent of tolerating terrorist regimes and activities.

As is the case in an abusive relationship, when we’re so used to the wrong thing being done, it certainly does seem confusing and jarring when the right thing is done for once.

Could it be the insurance kickbacks they’re now known to receive for vaccine administration? Could it be that they got the food pyramid completely wrong for decades? Could it be that we’re now sicker than ever with all of their “help”?

I grew up trusting doctors and vaccinating my children, but it’s not exactly surprising that we have the results that they’ve given us (sicker than ever) and trust is lost.

Everyone here needs to take a deep breath, step back, and remind yourselves that everything you're claiming is unproven and is a conspiracy theory. The language of the contracts is not publicly available

How is that currently working out for all of Europe? Hint: not well at all.

> 2. Obama and Biden didn't get the same level of attention because they weren't being publicly antagonistic and racist, or using deliberately cruel tactics to accomplish their goals. Or breaking the law / violating the constitution to meet their ends.

You've made a lot of ambiguous accusations right here. Can you please give specific examples?
