    That data is made of averages which aren't worth a lot when you discuss people's feelings about the economy, and also not everyone is getting a raise equally. Many don't get one at all and those people are definitely still dealing with prices being higher.

    Additionally, the cumulative rate of inflation over the last four years is over 20%, so unless my annual salary rises to be at least that much higer than it was four years ago then my real buying power has still decreased. It doesn't matter that the average raise is outpacing inflation if I never receive enough raises to at least keep up.

    States with laws that are hostile to workers - as mine is - make it hard to find employment where your employer will increase your pay to at least track inflation. This kind of thing gets lost in the discussion of averages.

    Just because a person might have a wealthy neighbor while they live in poverty doesn't really mean that, on average, everyone is doing fine. It still means some are still hurting.

    From the article:

    Though the central bank now believes inflation is largely defeated, many Americans remain upset with still-high prices for groceries, gas, rent and other necessities.

    The comment on this article that you were originally responding to was most certainly one of frustration with this situation, not one aimed at the Fed's decisions about interest rates. I feel that frustration too.

    It kinda doesn't matter if the Fed made every single right move if this was still the outcome for a large swath of America. People are going to be voicing frustration every time an article about the economy is posted.

    I have an B.S. in Economics, by the way.

    Inflation may have fallen, but prices haven't. Additionally, my annual pay is still $12k below where it should be had it only kept up with inflation over the last four years, no raises included.

    Anecdotal data isn't worth much, but I think it's clear that Americans largely feel the same pressures.

    Maddrey said the officers followed the man, each firing a Taser which proved ineffective in subduing the man. He then exited the train while it was still at the station and charged the officers with the knife, the chief said.

    What, it's not a good idea to do that now?

    Firing squads have some guns that are loaded as blanks so nobody is really sure who fired the fatal shot, and in the case of Trump I think this is unfair to the people firing the guns.

    That bill was a super republican bill, I honestly do not know why the Democrats keep bragging about this as if every "bipartisan" bill has merit.

    I've been attempting to respond to your original comment. The Democrats are not using this to brag. They are using it to highlight the failures of the Republican party.

    I walked around knocking on doors in an unfriendly neighborhood for Bernie Sanders, so you don't need to talk to me about criticizing Democrats or wanting them to move left.

    You're not understanding me. Yes, the bill was awful and should not have had their support.

    So given that, what exactly is the Republican justification for not supporting it? That needs to be highlighted so that perhaps enough GOP voters just stay home on election day - especially in swing states.

    Like it or not, Republicans must not win this election so that our democracy survives. We will have lots of work to do after the election to push the Democrats back to supporting the average person and not the rich, but that's the next fight and not this one!

    Hold your nose and vote for democracy.

    That only underscores the point of advertising their refusal to pass it: it should have fully satisfied Republicans and given them most of what they want, but the Orange Shit Stain said not to pass it so they could complain about immigration during the election.

    Democrats should use it as a loud and constant example of how Republicans are not leaders and have no solutions for America.

    Not necessarily. Accuracy comes down to specific implemention of the emulator, hardware or software.

    Where FPGA shines is it can do operations in parallel, just like actual hardware would. This means there will be a lot less latency in the emulation, giving it a feel that's close to the original hardware.

    An FPGA implementation of the GBA can be as inaccurate as software emulation, and just because a game seems to play the same way doesn't mean the emulator is calculating everything in the exact same way as the original hardware. Cycle accuracy isn't technically necessary to have it still seem exactly the same so long as the timing is the same. That's what the PS1 core on the MiSTer is (timing accurate, though not perfectly cycle accurate).

    The PS3 was pretty damned expensive for the time. I bought a MGS4 version, and I nearly returned it due to the expense. A few things made me keep it though: it was an excellent media player with lots of support for plugging in external drives full of media (and IIRC they regularly pushed new codecs out with system updates), wireless controllers and Burnout Paradise. I still play Burnout Paradise regularly. I never owned many Blu-ray movies, but it had that going for it too when most of the world was still using DVDs.

    I don't think that anything that has followed the PS3 has been nearly as good of a device. I hardly ever use my PS5 now, and if most of my library weren't PlayStation-exclusive titles, I'd probably just sell the thing in favor of my Steam Deck.

    We all start somewhere, and none of us learn without the help of others who've come before us. No need to apologize for that.

    ping is a terminal (command line) utility used to check that a different machine is reachable. The name comes from the sound that sonar makes when it strikes a metal ship hull.

    Termux is the app to get on Android.

    Try it. Open up a terminal emulator / command line and do a ping google.com (or your website or local network address of choice). You'll see the response from the other machine and how long it took to do that.
