Based on this I can only imagine they must have full throated support of the green line which would reduce intra-city traffic to allow for greater available capacity for provincial traffic.

RIP to the ER staff in deep red states being subjected to whatever stories they’re gonna hear.

Yeah why can’t they drink something less weird for an adult human… Something full of high fructose corn syrup, taurine, and Orange #6… The way God intended. It’s in the fucking Bible, people.

Iran and Pakistan are absolutely allies. They do joint military exercises. They have a joint weapons production program. Iran’s diplomatic channels to the USA literally operate out of Pakistan’s embassy in Washington.

The subtext behind Pakistan doing it, and doing it now, is to try and bait Trump away from getting involved with Pakistan’s ally: Iran.

If Trump does anything to Iran, Pakistan is going to make a big fuss about doubling-back on their nomination.

Does the nomination mean anything? No. Is he going to get the award? No. It’s entirely a diplomatic maneuver for a very specific goal of keeping the US out of Iran.

Directly from my ass, it’s my assumption that the primary maintainers just don’t have an incentivize the cost of supporting older devices and the disparate hardware configurations.

Like, planned obscellesance or not, smartphone churn is going to happen anyways. People lose them, smash them, fall into a pool with them, decide they NEED the newer camera soldered into them, etc…

It’s not like there are old phones in a closet somewhere propping up business critical infrastructure like with computers.

The cost vs utility of maintaining forward features and security patches for a massive catalog of hardware configurations just isn’t there.

I’m uncomfortable with the idea that the only reason that being trans is valid is because of biological factors.

If we could construct a human that came into existence without being Female at some gestational point, you gonna tell them they can’t be trans? If someone has a thyroid problem such that they their body CAN’T handle a sex hormone, you gonna tell them they can’t be trans?

I feel like we’re looking for a 9-D chess play when a 1-D play is sufficient: you say you’re trans, you’re trans. I’m not the fucking cops

As others have mentioned, your description is maybe too vague to get a good answer. You might need to elaborate more about “moving data” means for your purposes.

I don’t know if anyone has yet asked if you mean how data is stored in RAM vs a “hard drive”… How it’s allocated. Things that are much closer to hardware and a kernel? How a CPU fetches instructions/“data”?

Why?

Bassoon or oboe… Maybe it’s the double reed?

Another consideration might be how far your “town” is from a more major center.

A town with a population of 1000 might not feel that rural if it’s 10 miles down the road from a city of a million.

If the next closest center > 5,000pop is 250 miles away… Perhaps a different story.

I’ve hear it said that in Europe 100km is considered a long distance and in North America 100 years is considered a long time.

Fantastic 2 minute video clearly debunking lie detector here

Yeah I don’t think I could handle my kid complaining about being dizzy while also insisting on only eating one meal a day either.

I have a suspicion that the reaction to seeing this tweet would be a really accurate way to infer someone’s age.

Shorter than a dozen football fields

I don’t even think the men dreaming of the events (for the specific reason of finding a romantic partner) are enthralled by the pageantry.

In media, the trope is that the women at these things have no agency. Basically whatever man shows up to ask them to dance they end up ending up betrothed to, even if they have the personality of a wet noodle or an angry little dog.

I think that’s what is so alluring to these guys. They long for a medium where their trash personalities aren’t a liability.

This “I’m not a resident” was annoying and stupid but would at worst get you jailed.

Now? Some stupid asshole is going to end up in an El Salvadorian prison.

Someone ping me when the ADL condemns Trump for this.

Good Lord, what is happening in there?

Uh… Carrots?

Carrots? At this time of night?

In this fog?

At this distance?

Localized entirely around the island of England?

…yes

May I try some?

…no

It was a confluence of things.

And to set the stage, political leanings are complex. There is a tendency (insistence, I’d even say now) to collapse a 10 dimensional notion to 1D. At the time (myself, and what conservative parties were offering) aligned on a retrospectively narrow majority of dimensions.

I’d really drank the capitalism kool aid. You work hard, you get rewarded. The role of the government is to facilitate the opportunities by putting business is a favourable position to incentivize the creation of opportunities to create jobs. Poor people don’t want to work; if the jobs are readily available it’s on them for not participating.

I’d also really drank the baseless vibe Kool aid. “Conservatives are good at economy” “Conservatives are for personal freedom”. These associations were unchallenged through my youth. You spend 20 years internalizing those “truths”, it’s nonsensical to expect to convince someone otherwise in minutes.

I grew up in a rural area. It was just accepted as truth. There were no homeless people in my sightlines. I understood their experience as much as I understood the experience of a kangaroo.

I moved to the city, and my friend group was a mixed bag politically. Nobody too far in any direction, and politics wasn’t a major topic of conversation.

I did have a gaming buddy, though, full on communist. Super smart dude. Loves Talking about politics. Usually voice chat. A few times a year he’d be in town and we could meet for lunch or something.

I think eventually I would have shifted my perspective organically as a function of just having a broadened perspective, but he was certainly the catalyst.

Things I took as true, he’d say “no” and have data to show it. We’re men of an era, so I wouldn’t say he was “nice” about it, but it was never personal attacks.

We would (and still do) argue. At length. It wasn’t an overnight thing. It was a years thing.

When I mentioned earlier about the many constituent pieces of a political leaning, those really just got dismantled one by one. Or, shifted. I still think personal freedom is important. I just now reject the idea that conservatives offer policy to support that value.

Nobody has asked, but I think the key for me was to not make it about identity. Show how your values don’t map to the political party you think you support. When I’d challenge, he would respond directly. If we were talking about… I dunno… Taxes, and he felt like I was making points that he didn’t have the greatest answers for, he wouldn’t just change the subject (but her emails!) kinda thing. He loves being right but he had the integrity to not switch gears just to “win”. That built a lot of trust.

It was probably a few years before I actually ever read any backing sources he ever provided. But eventually, I was just too curious. If he hadn’t built that trust I don’t think I ever would have.

I don’t think anyone can flip someone with an identity-based political association in a single conversation online. If the relationship is transient, there is no trust.

You gotta charge up the person’s curiosity level. I think many people can contribute to that, though.

People who trip over themselves to make broad statements about how stupid and terrible you are for how you voted reduce the curiosity. People who respectfully engage with curiosity, avoiding identity attacks raise it.

And, it’s not just me who believes this. Putin does, as well: it’s the playbook for destabilizing western democracy. His troll farms are designed to get people to just snap at eachother and write eachother off as terrible people and lost causes.
