Name me a group that loves to vote harder than the graying brunch set.

A VP debate I guess could be a game changer in this whacky year, but I'd guess more from Vance being a creep than anything in Walz's control.

Right, and Obama did lean a bit too much on Clinton hands like Larry fucking Summers in his first two years for my tastes, but he still has the rolodex to put together a good team. Vance has...Heritage and Peter Thiel and in so many ways shows he's a lightweight in a bubble.

"What are the basic duties of the job, and can this person fulfill them" is a woefully underrated question in electoral politics.

Think of the children? Think of the fucked up mentality it takes to impose that burden for the sake of a child that didn't ask to be born into a world *that does not want them* to a father that views them as collateral damage at best.

We've seen this movie before with an ineffectual Iranian attack, so the only real question is how Israel will respond.

Depends entirely on the job. PVC is easy. No way I'm going to try to solder copper or get the special tools to do pex fittings.

Getting accurate information just isn't that hard in this age if you do even a bit of digging. The problem is most people don't care and propagandists dominate a lot of the default channels (local news, top results on Google, social media grapevines)

Starlink is a game changer when your only option is lousy DSL or nothing, but it's not a substitute for wiring up fixed locations (it runs into congestion issues rather quickly) and poses some significant problems for astronomy. I'm skeptical of the long term viability.

It really shouldn't be surprising at this point, but it is terribly disappointing to see ostensibly right minded people jumping on the dog pile anyway.
