    This is why being "a good business leader" (not that I'm saying he was that either, since he failed at selling steaks and alcohol to Americans) does not equate to being able to run a country. It's almost the opposite. You lead a business, your responsibility is to run it as you see fit. You run a country, you have a responsibility to take into account the wants and needs of everyone, even the people you don't agree with.

    It’s federally legal, but far as I can tell, some states don’t recognize those marriages, and others outright prohibit them, although it’s not enforceable. Still fucked up, IMO.

    So, in many states....

    1. Can't be homeless.
    2. Can't be dead on purpose (suicide's illegal).
    3. Can't have an abortion.
    4. Can't marry a same-sex spouse.
    5. Can't get healthcare if you don't have a job, and even if you can, it's super expensive and not likely to cover everything.

    So I guess, just make sure that you're born well-to-do, never make any mistakes, and are a straight, cis-gender man. Really narrows things down and puts life into clear perspective.

    I would drop insta in a heartbeat and switch to literally anything else, but unfortunately no one putting up pictures or video of my hobbies (the only thing I use insta for) uses anything else. Frustrating, but at the moment, my only option is to just quit insta and not switch to anything new since there's no content out there. Still considering going that route though, since insta has become super annoying to use.

    That would mean you would be indefinitely supporting and sending traffic to X. Why not tell your million followers "I will only be posting on Bluesky now - please check out my profile there [link]" and dump X? If you're worried about your numbers dropping moving to the other platform, then your "followers" probably don't mean much or weren't that interested in what you have to say anyway (so what's the point other than a score)? Maybe I'm just doing the old man shaking his fist at the sky routine.

    Are presidential elections even the responsibility of the executive branch?

    Is “maintaining the integrity of the presidential election” even fall under the responsibilities of POTUS? Wouldn’t that be more of the judicial’s or legislative’s wheelhouse? If it’s not, doesn’t that completely invalidate Trump’s argument that he was acting under his presidential duties?

    What registrars do people like nowadays?

    For personal projects, I've favored gandi.net for many years, but I'm trying to get a few candidates together for the organization I work for. Not a fan of GoDaddy, NetworkSolutions, or many of the all-in-one web host / registrar / app hosting / whateverelse sites. Hoping there are a few modern alternatives out there that I haven't seen yet. We had all of our domains on Google Domains, but since they got bought by Squarespace, I'm surveying our options.

    Sailplane bug wipers - how they work www.youtube.com

    Not a sailplane pilot, but thought this was pretty neat. Uses the airflow to push the wiper out to the end of the wing and then either a simple electric motor or a hand crank to bring it back towards the fuselage.

    Security camera with web embed

    Looks like none of the consumer-grade security cameras (Nest, Arvo, Ring, etc) support being able to embed the feed on a web page anymore. I think many of them never supported it, but looks like since Google bought Nest, they are slowly stripping features out of that one. I'm looking to set up a security camera or two in a park-like area (it's a parking lot and landing area for a freeflight club), and am looking for something that checks the following boxes: - Ideally, a solution that doesn't need an external computer (a full blown machine that's running software that might have to be restarted by a human on-site; a self-contained hardware device or rack mounted solution that would start all necessary services up after a power outage or other failure would be fine). - Video would be ideal, but if there's something that would take snapshots every few seconds, that's acceptable. - Stream (or photos) would need to be publicly-accessible. A webpage embed would be ideal, but not something where a whole bunch of people have to use a dedicated mobile app to access it. I looked at some of Unifi's product offerings, but hard to tell if some combination of their cameras and routers would accomplish that. Anyone put something like this together recently and can recommend anything?
