At least with Trump the insanity is out in the open. I mean these cabinet picks are insane. It would be funnier if we didn’t have to live with the consequences.
Do you not get that Trump will likely get two more Supreme court appointments? The third branch of our government is locked into conservative hands for the next 30 to 40 years now regardless of who gets elected afterward.
Or saw that both sides probably lead to the same end eventually.
Get out of here with that false equivalency bullshit. Trump’s cabinet picks so far are a Russian propaganda parroter for head of CIA, an anti-vax and raw milk advocate for Health and Human Services, a white supremacist tattooed person for Defense secretary and a suspected pedophile that is having their ethics hearing results blocked for Attorney General.
Do you even think for a hot second that Harris would have make such unqualified and toxic choices for her cabinet?
I almost can’t blame them. A majority of Americans voted for fascism and racism. These are their customers.
With classic cryptography being broken that also opens the need for quantum cryptography and commnications. China is a bit farther ahead of us on this launching their first satellite encorporating these concepts in 2020:
“The nation’s Micius satellite successfully established an ultrasecure link between two ground stations separated by more than 1,000 kilometers” source
China is launching a second newer generation satellite next year. source
Even “the bible” isn’t “the bible”.
“Protestant Bibles have only 39 books in the Old Testament, however, while Catholic Bibles have 46.” source
There is a whole youtube rabbit hole you can go down showing videos of miniature versions of larger (larger caliber) guns. The smallest I saw was “replica” Civil War Navy revolver that the whole gun was about 6cm long. It was a functional gun that had a powder charge with a projectile.
If you’re talking about actually scaling, like a CAD drawing, then no.
If you’re talking most of the appearance and function, then yes! There is a scale model of a Browning M2 machine gun (which normally fires 50 cal ammo) that fires 22lr instead. It will set you back about $20,000.
Thats part of the social contract. Its crappy that that person was abusing it.
I can go to a cafe where I’m waited on and served decent food for $20.
How much do you tip on you cafe meal on top of that $20?
He said all this kind of nonsense the last time he ran.
And he violated all kinds of laws when in office and after his term ended.
I think there is a high likelihood we will see President Vance before the end of this second Trump term. I can’t really tell which is worse.

Individual communities can set up guidelines, that if you have a new account under 6 months, and you have a negative overall karma,
you’re banned from that community until a human can look through your post history to see if you should be unbanned.you’ll have to repost previously highly upvoted content to pump up your karma numbers, until you have a positive overall karma.
FTFY, I’d really prefer to leave that mistake of karma at Reddit instead of polluting Lemmy with it.
Lemmy karma-less method also drastically reduces the value of bot accounts to farm karma (for nefarious or advertising use before being banned).
Free rent, or so they thought
This is NOT what I thought people meant when they use the phrase “Living rent free in your head”
To my complete lack of surprise, Russia is seems to be a freer country for free software developers than the United States.
What does the United States have to do with this? Since when is Finland part of the United States? Linus Torvalds is Finnish.
Someday soon I’m sure we’ll get that paperless office.
This one I’ve seen pretty darn realized. My last “in office” job was more than 5 years ago, but while there were printers available they were not used often. Nobody would hand you a piece of paper with any exception you’d have to keep it safe or for any period of time, and even then you’d also have a digital copy sent to you. Then and now, I still keep an notepad, but its only for things I need to remember for less than 24 hours or that get entered electronically very shortly after.
This was a fortune 100 company too, not some Mom-and-pop office.
Stop. The Vanguard retirement funds all did this if the target is before 2060. And those are invested in index funds by professionals. OP likely had the VTINX
OP’s losses are more exagerated than just the Target Date fund experiencing a dip from bond exposure.
Here’s OP’s same initial investment on the same day but 100% in VTINX:
So instead of a $4k loss that OP showed, it would been a $71 loss. OP went picking individual stocks and got burned (assuming they liquidated their position after seeing their portfolio balance).
Or I completely disagree with the idea of individuals investing for their retirement as a base expectation when the options available are not universal nor affordable for half the population.
Then you should have led with that. I wouldn’t have wasted my time trying to explain how to use the system to someone not interested in any part of the system. None of your arguments are about the mechanisms of the system, but instead lack of its universal applicability. You weren’t interested to learning how the system can work, you’d already dismissed it from the get-go.
Your post comes across as dismissive of anyone criticizing the current system.
Your posts come off as trolling because you’re arguing about particular internal steps to the current system when you don’t even care about it.
You do understand a significant portion of the population doesn’t have a dollar to spare when they live paycheck to paycheck, right?
Listen friend, its entirely possibly you started off with good intentions in this thread, but somewhere along the line it looks like you got so concerned with “being right” or “getting zingers” that your responses got more and more useless and simply argumentative for arguments sake. I’m human, I’ve been there. Look where you started off this line of conversation with this:
So if the market crashes the year before I want to retire I should just put off retiring for another 30 years.
The way I know you went down the wrong path is that if you were genuine with your argument, you would have started HERE with your comments about people not being able to save anything for retirement. Instead, you attacked a legitimate way to save for retirement for those that can save for retirement. Worse, you did so from a position of ignorance, but then attacked the response that informed you how your stated position was inaccurate.
The other possibility is that you started your whole rant without any thought to having a good faith conversation about the benefits or challenges to Americans saving for retirement. That would make you a straight up Troll. I don’t that thats who you are, so maybe just let this conversation thread die because its not producing anything productive for you and its otherwise a waste of time for everyone.
Earns enough money to set some aside for retirement.
Do you literally not even have $1 in your pocket that you earned for yourself? Thats all it takes to open an IRA and start saving for retirement.
Well, not a record, but a zone. A subdomain is its own zone. There are additional DNS records that support a separate zone though.
False. The person wanting control of the subdomain must be delegated control from the parent domain. Owners of the parent domain don’t just hand that out to anyone. The mechanism is called DNS Delegation.
