Because his supporters don’t care if he’s a gibbering idiot as long as he tells them their particular deplorable -ism is perfectly valid and fine. He gets the racist votes because he tells them that they’re right and all the non-white people are inferior and out to get them. He gets the Christian votes because he tells them that the US has, is, and always will be a Christian nation that should be run by their particular flavor of Christianity and btw all the non-Christians are out to get them. He gets the homophobe and transphobe votes because he tells them yes, LGBTQ+ is a choice, they’re all perverts, and they’re all out to get them and their children.
Basically he tells everyone that’s on the wrong side of history who have been told that they are terrible people for decades that they are in fact not terrible people, that they’ve been right all along, and that it’s all a conspiracy by liberals/democrats/minorities/homosexuals/satanists/whoever to get them, and they eat that shit up. As long as he keeps spouting support for their particular prejudices he’ll keep getting their votes, because they rather elect a gibbering moron who validates them than someone sane and competent that tells them their prejudice is wrong.
If you have been using an ergonomic mechanical keyboard for more than year, let us know which keyboard it is, and whether you plan to keep to keep using it for at least another year or if there’s another keyboard you are considering trying instead.
Been using a ZSA Voyager as a travel keyboard for work and very satisfied with it. Used a Sofle V2 prior to that but I was concerned about how well it was (or rather wasn’t) holding up to the rigors of travel so I replaced it with something designed for travel and a little more robustly constructed.
I use a Workman layout and a few years ago switched to using homerow mods so I found the modifier keys on the Sofle to be redundant so I decided to downscale to something a little more compact. Because my usage is for work the number keys get used heavily so I wasn’t willing to give those up by going to something like a Corne. On the flip side I wouldn’t use the Voyager for gaming due to those same missing modifier keys since keys like shift and ctrl are used in a non-modifier pattern when gaming.
So the crux of it is the definition of wet. A couple definitions: “covered or soaked with a liquid such as water” or “Not yet dry or firm”. While you could maybe argue water is “not yet dry”, that also implies the expectation that it will at some point be which it won’t, because if it’s “dry” it’s not water anymore. Similarly water is not “covered or soaked in a liquid” as it is a liquid. It’s a subtle point but highlights a quirk of English. A liquid almost by definition can’t be “wet” unless it also has a dry state (E.G. paint).
It’s a commons dilemma, by moving out you’re prioritizing your short term self interest over the long term group interest. If you leave a conservative state for a liberal one for the immediate future your quality of life will be greatly improved, but if enough people do so in the long term everyone’s quality of life will be worse.
So standard projection from the GOP. Nice of them to confirm that they consider the KKK to be their military wing, not that that’s a surprise to anyone.
Yeah, I read the headline and my first thought was “and? Japan is practically legendary for xenophobia”. Talk with literally anyone who doesn’t look Japanese who has spent any time in Japan and they’ll have at least one story of a time they were discriminated against for not “being Japanese” even if they’ve lived there their entire lives. They’re usually fairly polite about it, but they’re absolutely xenophobic (with a healthy dose of low key racism).
The good news such as it is, is that they’re not really malicious about it. This isn’t the US style “we don’t like your kind around these parts”, so much as it is “how cute, the silly foreigner thinks he’s people”. They probably won’t even say anything negative to you, they’ll just side eye you and bad mouth you behind your back, maybe pretend not to understand what you’re saying even if you’re speaking perfect Japanese. Not that everyone in Japan is that way of course, but it’s very common there.
If you’re just visiting, particularly if you stick to the touristy parts, you probably won’t have any problems at all. It’s really only once you try to stay for more than a week or two and start having to do normal day to day stuff like trying to establish a bank account, or taking a daily commute that the xenophobia really kicks in.
I think currently they’re not. They’re registered to their state as they’re still technically illegal at the federal level. The DEA has taken kind of a don’t ask don’t tell approach to marijuana and is currently relying on a patchwork of state regulations to manage it because for a variety of (terrible) reasons they haven’t taken the sane step of reclassifying it. It honestly shouldn’t be a scheduled drug or at worst a schedule 4. Moving it from schedule 1 to 3 is better than nothing, but it’s still a chicken shit maneuver.
And I hope it results in better candidates in the future
That won’t happen.
and maybe a 3rd and 4th party emerging to fill the voter gaps.
Only way that happens is if we swap to proportional voting instead of first past the post. As long as it’s a choice between the DNC and GOP neither party is going to let that happen either. Most likely scenario that sees that become a reality is that the GOP finishes imploding and in the confusion and power vacuum left behind enough of a coalition forms to get it passed. Still a long shot though.
The real problem is that there are no renewable solutions for base load, nuclear is the best we’ve got. Renewables are good, but they’re spotty, you can’t produce renewable power on demand or scale it on demand, and storing it is also a problem. Because of that you still need something to fill in the gaps for renewables. Now your options there are coal, oil, gas, or nuclear. That’s it, that’s your options. Pick one.
If we can successfully get cold fusion working we’ll finally have a base power generation option that doesn’t have (many) downsides, but until then nuclear power is the least bad option.
So yes, if you tell them “no nuclear”, you’re going to get more coal and gas plants, coal because it’s cheap, and gas because it’s marginally cleaner than coal.
Why? It’s an active area of research with several companies and universities trying to solve the problem. There’s also a chance hot fusion succeeds although to my knowledge nobody has actually gotten close to solving that particular problem either. Tokamaks and such are still energy negative when taken as a whole (a couple have claimed energy positive status, but only by excluding the power requirements of certain parts of their operation). I guess maybe I should have just said fusion instead of cold fusion, but either way there are no working energy positive fusion systems currently.
Edit: To be clear, I’m not claiming that anyone has a working cold fusion device, quite the opposite. Nobody has been able to demonstrate a working cold fusion device to date. Anybody claiming they have is either lying or mistaken. But by the same token nobody has been able to show an energy positive hot fusion device either. There’s a couple that have come close but only by doing things like hand waving away the cost to produce the fuel, or part of the energy cost of operating the containment vessel, to say nothing of the significant long term maintenance costs. I’ve not seen evidence of anybody getting even remotely close to a financially viable fusion reactor of any kind.
Hydro is good when it’s available but also has some significant problems. The biggest is that it’s an ecological disaster even if the reach of that disaster is far more limited. The areas upstream of the dam flood while the ones downstream are in constant danger of flooding and drought. In the worst case if the dam collapses it can wipe entire towns off the map with little or no warning. It is objectively far more dangerous and damaging to the environment than any nuclear reactor. The only upside it has is that it’s effectively infinitely renewable barring massive shifts in weather patterns or geology.
All of that is of course assuming that hydro is even an option. There’s a very specific set of geological and weather features that must be present, so the locations you can power with hydro power without significant transport problems are limited.
It’s certainly an option, and better than coal, oil, or gas, but still generally worse than nuclear.
Hmm, it’s true that cold fusion would need some kind of physics breakthrough, although I think it might be going too far to call it junk science. To be entirely fair energy positive hot fusion also requires some kind of physics breakthrough though, although potentially a far less extreme one.
The Sun works because of its mass which generates the necessary temperature and pressures to trigger the fusion. Replicating those pressures and temperatures here though is incredibly energy intensive. In theory, on paper the energy released by the fusion reaction should exceed those energy requirements, but when you factor in that doing so requires exceedingly rare and expensive to create fuel most if not all of that energy surplus vanishes. Nobody has been able to prove that they can get more energy out of the reaction than the energy cost of creating the fuel and triggering the reaction, so until that happens hot fusion is far from proved either. There’s a few research projects that look promising, but it’s far from guaranteed that they’ll pan out.
They’re getting smarter about this. Instead of charging Trump immediately they’re saving him for after all his conspirators are convicted. They know that Trump will leave his people out to dry if he thinks it won’t impact him, and by leaving Trump out of it the guilty verdicts become significantly easier to achieve. Once they’ve got a whole slew of air tight convictions to point to their case against Trump becomes really simple because they just need to show be was working with all these people which is practically a matter of public record at this point.
This has always been my take on him. He’s basically a Republican but too chicken shit to challenge Trump for the GOP nomination directly so instead he’s running as a Democrat. The reality is he never stood a chance in either party, the GOP because Trump has cornered the market for gullible idiots, and the DNC because he’s blatantly conservative.
I think the key takeaway there though is that Trump controls that account. KSIC can take control of that account within 24 hours, but nothing is stopping Trump from just draining that account if he loses his appeal.
Trump is a clown and the media wants to run the circus. The only reason they want Biden there is to play the straight man and add an air of legitimacy to the show.
The ad was released hours after Trump said that he believes abortion laws should be left to the states, sidestepping the national ban that some of his supporters want....
Aaaaaand the patient is dead, turns out Jesus is a really bad surgeon. And then they’ll sue when it turns out relying on thoughts and prayers makes for a really shit healthcare system. Somehow they’re unwilling to accept “it’s all part of gods plan” as a malpractice defense either.
It’s Russia, they only know one move “throw more bodies at it”. If it can’t be solved by shoving half trained and half equipped “soldiers” at the problem they’re basically out of ideas.
Democrats have way fewer drooling brain donors than the Republicans do. I’m sure he’ll get some votes, but he’d never be able to pull the kind of crowds Trump was able to on the conservative side. Democrats are also way less likely to support a DNC candidate at any cost as they don’t see politics as a team sport where their “side” has to win at all cost (for better or worse). If the DNC truly did run a candidate as horrible as him in the general election they would 100% lose because a significant portion of liberal voters would vote 3rd party while the conservatives would fall in line like the good little serfs they are.
Not generally, although “preachy” is. Saying females or women are mostly interchangeable, although using females in this case is an odd choice as there’s no real reason to pick that specific word. Generally you’d use female in a scientific or medical context where the biology in question is relevant (E.G. when talking about disease statistics or similar). Saying women would be a bit more inclusive but since he’s being an asshole anyway not sure a little extra inclusivity is going to make any difference.
Yeah at a fundamental language level every word has implications. Any given word is less one specific meaning than it is one or more primary meanings with a whole constellation of associated concepts. Picking to use a specific word means one thing but its associated concepts also shade the surrounding words and sentence. The word “female” is not offensive any more than a word like “red” would be, but it carries a clinical connotation as well as being problematic with regards to trans people and the trans movement in general. Depending on how it’s used it could offend someone, but with the right tone or context so could asking someone “How old are you?”. So it’s wrong to say in absolute sense that “female” is offensive, but like many words it can be used in an offensive manner.
Donald Trump has multiple loans on his properties amounting to at least $200 million, which may devalue their worth and make it less likely that they will be seized to recuperate the costs of his legal fines....
That’s not how it works. The courts get first crack at that property. If something is worth $100 million, and it’s used as collateral on a $50 million loan, the courts can seize it and sell it for $100 million and keep all the money. The one who issued the loan for $50 million can then sue Trump for the $50 million along with any other creditors who Trump owes money to.
So, Trump can’t sell his properties without paying off the loans, but the courts can seize them for their full values.
So I dug into it a little deeper and it looks like the answer is kind of. Government still gets first crack at the value of whatever the property is, but leftover funds may be distributed to other creditors. It also depends on the kind of loan in question as to whether the government will repay them or if they have to sue Trump.
Overall the process works much like bankruptcy does, creditors get ranked based on various criteria (generally the more money you’re owed the higher you’re ranked) and higher priority creditors get first dibs and whatever is left over goes to the next creditor in line. Government pretty much always goes first. Once they’ve gotten their money next would be anyone who has an actual lien on the property. It’s also possible to have given a loan whose terms are tied to the property but doesn’t result in an actual lien being issued for it. Those creditors are just fucked in this case. They’ll have to chase Trump through court to get their money back as it’s essentially a contract dispute at that point.
What’s highly likely to happen is we’ll see a panic recall on any outstanding loans Trump has as nobody wants to be on the bottom of the pile fighting for scraps after the financial corpse of Trumps assets has been picked over.
There’s a reason no banks have been willing to loan to him for 30 years, and when he went looking for a bond the ones who were willing to give him one were demanding double the amount in property as collateral. They wanted to make sure that there would be enough left over for them to get their money back after the government took their cut.
As for what you cited, that’s for civil asset forfeiture which is a little different. In that case the government isn’t treated as a creditor since you don’t owe them anything, they’re just straight stealing your property. In the case of property with a lien on it they repay the lien holder essentially the full value of the lien as there’s no valid claim to those funds by the government.
At the end of the day the government will just keep seizing property until both they and all Trumps creditors are paid off or until there’s no more property to seize whichever comes first. What’s definitely not going to happen is the government goes “This property isn’t worth it because it has too many loans on it, we’ll just let Trump keep it”.
Unfortunately while they can seize anything in NY, property in other states requires them to go through the federal government. It can be done, but it’s a whole separate legal process.
Trump is, was, and has always been, a conman. It’s his bread and butter. It was critical to the facade of “highly successful businessman” that he put up that he appear ridiculously wealthy. Not just wealthy, but ultra wealthy. While he has always had hundreds of millions of dollars in cash, and owned many properties that when combined would total over a billion dollars in value, he has never at any point in his life had access to the kind of wealth that the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, or Bill Gates have. Even worse for him, he’s actually an incredibly bad businessman, nearly every venture Trump has directly been involved in (rather than just licensing his name for someone actually competent to use) has failed utterly.
In an effort to shore up his image Trump has for decades inflated the value of all his properties, and then used those inflated values to take out loans and mortgages that he then blows on bad business decisions. There’s a very real chance that he might actually be telling the truth for the first time in his life and he can’t actually scrape together the nearly $500 million even if he sold every piece of property he owns. He may have already over leveraged it all so badly that there’s just not $100 million of value left to squeeze out of it.
Of course it’s also possible he actually could come up with the money but doing so would require him to liquidate every property he owns and would also expose just how badly he has managed the wealth left to him by his father. Something he desperately wants to avoid lest it utterly shatter his “successful businessman” facade forever (not to mention legitimately bankrupt him for once in his life).
Either way it’s about time a lifetime of fraud and lies caught up to him.
I saw a comment somewhere that claimed the RNC only has like $10 million in funds, wouldn’t even put a dent in what he owes.
It’s funny how badly he has screwed himself. He’s spent decades overinflating the value of his properties and then taking loans and mortgages out on them and using that to claim he’s a billionaire. Now the courts used his own claims of how rich he is to issue a fine and he’s struggling to pay it because his actual net worth is a tiny fraction of what he has claimed it is. He’s basically created his own personal sub-prime mortgage bubble and it’s teetering on the edge of collapse now.
In a move the EPA deemed ‘historic,’ the agency has banned chrysotile asbestos, the only form of the cancer-causing mineral that the U.S. still imports and uses
Asbestos is safe in the same way old crates of TNT are. That is as long as it remains completely undisturbed and you’re nowhere near it. Also much like old crates of TNT when discovered safely removing it involves a very expensive call to highly specialized removal teams and there’s a high risk of collateral damage in the process.
Donald Trump has so far been unable to obtain a bond that would allow him to appeal a $454 million judgment against him in a New York civil fraud case without posting the full amount himself, his lawyers said on Monday.
Personality certainly matters. But it might be more useful, in terms of the actual stakes of a contest, to think about the presidential election as a race between competing coalitions of Americans. Different groups, and different communities, who want very different — sometimes mutually incompatible — things for the country....
I’ve been looking around for one; search (in my Lemmy client) doesn’t find one, and while there seems to be at least one in Reddit, the only communities listed on qmk.fm are Reddit and Discord....
This is the only place I’m aware of, but I’ve hardly done a thorough search. There are some fediverse/lemmy community search tools out there you could probably hit up. One thing that’s most likely true is that there’s no official QMK community on Lemmy.
Trump has never really cared much for laws, or reality, if either happen to get in the way of what he wants. The danger if Trump wins this year is that he’ll do exactly what he has said he will and go full fascist. We’re talking Hitler/Stalin style rounding up political opposition or anyone he deems undesirable and sending them off to gulags/concentration camps or just plain having them executed.
In that regard it’s not a question of if the law allows Trump to do something, it’s a question of if anyone will be willing to stand up to stop him after he’s seized full control of the federal executive and judicial branches and has his GOP allies in control of the legislative.
Worst case scenario it might come down to the military to stage an intervention and restore order, although at that point we’re effectively looking at a military coup even if the ultimate goal is restoring democratic rule and upholding the constitution which is a whole can and a half of worms better left unopened.
Traditionally it comes down to the national guard. During desegregation the national guard was deployed to several southern states to enforce the law when southern states tried to ignore it. They’re not officially military so they don’t run afoul of the posse comitatus act, but they effectively serve the same function within US borders.
Many psychological experiments have shown that most people when ordered to do something by a person they perceive as an authority will follow those instructions even in cases where they feel the instructions are wrong. Most people just want to keep their head down and do their jobs. So yes, if Trump ordered them to, most rank and file would commit illegal actions. While I’d like to think most wouldn’t be willing to murder someone, we’ve seen ample evidence that there are enough that follow Trump that would be more than willing to for someone to do it, and most would be unwilling to stop them even if they weren’t willing to do it themselves.
We have seen all this before. Hitler didn’t start off by committing genocide, Stalin didn’t start by sending people to gulags. They start small with the things people are willing to do even if they feel it’s wrong and slowly escalate. Stripping rights turns into imprisoning, which turns into murdering, and each step of the way everyone either says “I’m not doing it myself, I’m not responsible” or “They deserve it because they’re a <minority> and I’m not”.
With these two it seems like they’re really trying to add a new president to the list of those that died in office. Last one that wasn’t assassinated was FDR in 1945. Going to be really important who these crypt keepers run as their VP because there is a very good chance they’ll be the president before the end of their term.
How are Kamala Harris polling numbers these days? If they’re better than Biden’s (and that’s a really low bar so I’d kind of be surprised if they aren’t) it would be smart of the Democrats to encourage people to vote to support her in the incredibly likely chance that Biden dies in office making her the president.
What was your beginner keyboard and which keyboard are you using now? It seems, that a lot of people tend to prefer smaller keyboards with layers. I myself am a bit intimidated by them, and would much prefer a somewhat more traditional number of keys, like the Lili58 or the Sofel has (as for now, I think I will get a Lili58)....
So, the answer is it’s complicated. I have two very distinct use cases, one is gaming, and the other is work.
For gaming I pretty much need something like a traditional keyboard. I could do a split ergo, but easy access to number keys as well as shift and control without having to remove fingers from the WASD cluster is a must, so anything that moves numbers into a different layer, or that puts shift and control in a weird place is a no go. Because of this I’m currently using a 65% non-split keyboard, although I’m considering other options as well.
For work on the other hand the situation is very different. I started with a fairly tame choice by going with a Lily58. I didn’t really like the placement of the keys on the Lily58 due to my hand size so I replaced it with a Sofle which is nearly the same but slightly different positioning. While using the Sofle I discovered homerow mods which I really like which led me to stop using the modifier keys on the Sofle. Recently I’ve had to do a lot more traveling for work and that’s been rough on the Sofle, so I picked up a Voyager to replace it as a more durable easier to transport board. So far I’m very happy with it.
I’m not sure I could have jumped straight into my current keyboard as my very first split-ortho board. I think rebuilding the muscle memory was a necessary part of the process. That said I wish I could have skipped the Lily58 and gone straight to the Sofle, but that decision is entirely down to how well it fits my particular hand shape, nothing technically wrong with the Lily58.
It depends. If you get one that uses a bluetooth capable MCU (like a nice!nano) then yes generally, although last I looked none of them supported QMK so you’ll most likely be forced to use something like ZMK. That could have changed by now though, I know it was being worked out.
Yes, but be aware that you should never plug/unplug the TRRS cable used to connect the two halves while they’re powered on. Some Bluetooth models don’t use a TRRS cable but instead have both halves connect wirelessly. Also I know sometimes the firmware can be setup to always expect the half that’s plugged in to be the right or left half and plugging in the opposite side can sometimes do funky things to the keymap.
classic or cherry I think. Definitely not chocolate, that’s exclusively for chocolate switches, not cherry. Also switches aren’t hotswap, the sockets are, so there’s no such thing as a Gateron hot-swap switch, that’s just a Gateron switch.
usually no. If you get a chocolate switch board you need to be careful about the caps, but finding chocolate caps is already a royal PITA. Some exceptionally large or unusual cherry caps could cause problems but that would be true of any keyboard not just a corne. One thing to be aware of is you’re going to want a ortholinear cap set, not the standard one as you’ll want square modifier keys and things like enter/space that are normally rectangular.
Russia’s strategy even going back to WW2 has been to throw bodies at the problem until it goes away. I think most people were just assuming that in the modern Internet connected era that that strategy would fall apart. That at some point the Russian people would get fed up with seeing their people being sent off to be slaughtered over a piece of land that means nothing to Russia. The surprise is really that that hasn’t happened yet, or that Putin hasn’t decided to cut his losses and declare the job finished and withdraw.
At some point Russia will run out of bodies to toss into the meat grinder, it’s just a question of if there will be anything left of Ukraine by that point or not.
As much as this has been (and continues to be) an absolute disaster for the Ukrainian people, from the perspective of NATO no matter the outcome this is a win. They’ve managed to get a fairly accurate look at Russia’s current military capabilities (laughably bad). Russia has badly hurt themselves even in this short period of time and the longer it goes on the worse it will be. And lastly NATO didn’t really need to do anything but donate or even sell some old hardware stockpiles they had lying around collecting dust. From a purely logical standpoint this is an absolute win for everyone but Russia and Ukraine. Even if Putin ultimately “wins” and takes over Ukraine he hasn’t really accomplished much of value.
There is an entire universe of difference between the government telling you you can’t say something and arresting and/or disappearing you if you ignore them, and privately owned museums, exhibit halls, or online platforms refusing to do business with you if you say something stupid in public that harms people’s perceptions of you. You’re absolutely free to spout every hot take and conspiracy theory you want (there’s certainly no shortage of people who do), but nobody is obligated to respect you or do business with you if you do. What’s not going to happen is an FBI agent or cop coming around to “have a chat” and if you refuse to publicly retract your statements then quietly sending you off to some gulag without telling anyone where you’ll be worked to death and then your organs harvested and sold. That’s the difference between “the West” and China.
I recently purchased a klor from beekeeb, ready soldered :) excellent soldering job; in any case. I didn’t realise that the mcu would be exposed. So i was wondering if I should be worried. I don’t want to stick black electrical tape over it because it will get sticky. Wondering what i could do. Worried i move the keyboard...
Honestly a little moisture isn’t going to short it unless you’re setting it in a literal puddle. I really wouldn’t worry about it being exposed, it’s not really a problem. Something like electrical tape would protect you if you put something metal against it, but an amount of water that would cause problems isn’t going to be stopped by some tape.
I've only seen solid-color keycaps for Chocs, and I'd love to get some cute ones like there are for Cherry MX switches. I'm thinking of sets like Bubble, Castle Idol, Honey Milk, and Witch Girl. Do sets like these exist for Choc switches?
Hmm is it the pin placement or switch spacing? They looked like they had the same pin placement, but I know choc V1 boards tend to use a tighter spacing than V2, but that’s going to vary somewhat, and you might be able to work around that with the right keycaps (maybe certain DSA caps?). At any rate it’s worth pointing out it might be a problem.
Edit: looked it up and apparently the center stabilizer is slightly larger on the V2 which often doesn’t fit in a V1 board, but a V1 switch should be able to fit into a V2 board. There’s also an extra stabilizer pin on V2 switches but that can be snipped off just like the ones on cherry switches. In theory depending on how closely traces are routed you might be able to enlarge the center post hole of a V1 board to fit a V2 switch but that’s a very risky procedure with lots of opportunity to permanently break a board so I’m not sure I would recommend it to anyone who isn’t either a) made of money, or b) an expert at electronics and modding boards.
