The kind that takes more than 2 months to 'complete'. From the perspective of the earth it makes a horseshoe shape. From the 'temporary moon' perspective it gets a trajectory adjustment on its solar orbit.

It's more like a gravity assist that takes 2 months to complete than an orbit.

This game was on track to be forgotten

Game is just outside the top 50 on steam and had a major content release at the end of June. This 'game is dying'-because-it-didn't-indefinitely-sustain-player-counts-in-the-top-10 meme is dumb as hell.

The number of people in this country that think you're allowed to murder other people for trespassing is insane. Guy should spend a very long time in jail, the absolute shit-for-brains asshole.

The woman who wasn't there and didn't shoot them?

As if that has ever mattered.

Correct temperament, but way, way too cogent for anything coming out of Trumpet's mouth these days.

"...and they'll say it was fabricated...great fabrications they say, fabric so great you won't believe it was made in China...Ivanka...I don't see whats so bad about China...they call it a sweatshop what's wrong with that? you should sweat at work. Thats what I think anyway. You know I sweat harder than anyone, anyone alive...Ivanka so beautiful...don't we have...the most beautiful people here, thats what they hate that we have beautiful. They have ugly Nancy Pelosi and we have the most beautiful people..."

My favorite implication of these kinds of posts is that windows somehow doesn't ever have driver issues.

I live in small blue town in very red county, and I'm probably not being distinguished from the surrounding area. A lot of it is in the 'motivating you to show up' category. At least it would be if I actually believed Bob Casey was holding down Pennsylvanians while Harris injected them with fentanyl smuggled over the border in a sack of illegal aliens.

So I do run an adblocker for most of the web on most of my devices, but the TV for example still plays youtube ads and I would say that maybe 1 out of every 3 or 4 ads is not a political ad. Well over half of the ones that are political are for Trump. I've also received at least one mailer every day this week. Usually 2-3 (one for each of my wife and I). All of the mailers are pro Trump. Yes, I let the TV play trash politics adjacent videos on mute trying to waste as much of their money as possible.

Pennsylvania resident here. It's not an early call. In 2020 the state wasn't called until Friday iirc. Pennsylvania doesn't start counting mail in ballots until election day and in most places doesn't start counting them until the direct polling is turned in.

This is because prior to the last election we had for-cause mail-in voting only and the number of mail-in ballots was always too small to affect the outcome. The counting law hasn't caught up with the realities of at-will mail-in voting. Granted, local elections boards are more prepared than they were so it should go faster than 2020 but you should abandon the idea of knowing who won Pennsylvania before you got to bed on Tuesday, unless Harris is already way ahead.

The margin of this election will almost certainly be smaller than the number of outstanding mail-in ballots. That means we'll have to wait for them to be counted just like 2020. Also mail in ballots heavily favor Dems, so in any close race you should expect Trump to be well ahead on Tuesday night and slowly lose ground as the mail-in tallies come in.

The other part of this that absolutely everyone should be aware of is there is a real problem with the current mail-in process in Pennsylvania regarding ballot curing. There are a bunch of rules about how ballots must be mailed in (signatures placement/quality date placement/formatting, envelope types, etc) and how to handle improperly submitted ballots is mostly being left to local elections boards. That means some of them are offering ballot curing, where you can go and fix the issue and have your vote counted, some of them are simply counting the ballots without regard to minor clerical issues, and some of them are throwing out every mail-in for even the slightest technical violation. There are already lawsuits by Republicans trying to establish a precedent that forces all counties into the latter group. State courts have taken a dim view of this position—opting to protect curing and the franchise, but the local federal appeals court has just ruled in the Republicans favor this week, asserting counties are within their rights to discard ballots for minor defects.

This is a bomb waiting to go off and there is a very real chance we're going to reach a point where Pennsylvania's electoral votes are going to be handed to a candidate by a court choosing which mail-in votes count and which don't. There is also a very real chance that SCOPA and SCOTUS both issue rulings with opposing answers.

You cant sell them if you bury them.

TIL being poor is a trend.

Guys selling something claim it will make you taller and thinner, your dick bigger, your mother in law stop calling, and work as advertised.

Honestly AAA studios don't even exist anymore. Is there any gaming studio making multipe $60 games per year you can name where you would vouch for the quality of their games solely on the basis of who made it?

Maybe some first party console games(and even then only some series), but nothing for PC.

8/10 for effort, 10/10 for style, but 3.5/10 for execution. The phrase too cute by half springs to mind, but this is closer to too cute by three quarters.

It almost looks like massive unfunded tax cuts for the ultra wealthy and big business don't lead to job growth.

Im thinking that the finals is not utilizing my nvidia graphics card so if anyone has advice i would greatly appreciate

Well, if you have a suspicion, start with confirming it. Simplest test, does the card get hot? Is the fan spinning up? If you install a gpu monitor does it show a spike? Does your CPU even have integrated graphics?

No.

Special thanks to Microsoft for going out of their way to help make this possible

This is hardly a new thing for MS. One of the first emails I remember getting when I got to college back in 2003 was from campus IT begging people not to install the latest XP update because it reenabled a vulnerability to existing malware.

My kingdom for the return of the rear fingerprint sensor.

I guess they're tied on that front.

North Carolina

I expect they will not be worth it as they're too underpowered for your specific use case. (I'm assuming your use case is hosting complex physical similations for a major university physics department and the old computer you're considering on Amazon is a used version of this one or something similar.)

For my home server I use whatever old PC I have laying around already.

Guy whose job it is to sling shit, slings shit. More at 11.

Those casinos were in Atlantic City. He also lost tens of millions of dollars on one of the most famous and prestigious hotels in New York City. He lost money trying to sell mail-order steaks and whiskey in the United States. He also lost money trying to operate a university during the biggest education bubble in history. He also stole classified documents, 'lost' them, and got huge numbers of foreign assets killed. He openly advocates for ending democracy. And as the cherry on top of that shit sandwich, brags about sexually battering women.

If there is one person's advice on beating Trump we should definitely not consider...

Seems like a peculiar choice to direct that title to people who were never going to take his word for it to begin with.

Articles like this fundamentally misunderstand where so much of Trump's support comes from. Supporters don't like like him because they think he's telling the truth. They claim he's telling the truth because they like him. Weighing evidence is not what drove them to support him and piling more evidence on the other other side of the scale isn't going to drive them away. The judgement comes first, the rationale second.

They're in it for the vibe. They like that he pisses people off; that he is apparently accountable to no one; that he treats people like dirt if it's convenient for him; that he lies whenever he wants. To Trump's base these actions are the hallmark of power and charisma. He is the kind of person they wish they had the courage to be, at least sometimes.

He is a classic archetype: the heel. If you want to beat him, then he must be made to look weak and pathetic. He has to be humiliated in a way that that his supporters cannot ignore. Fact-checking him is never going to be enough.

What's happening here is single sentence from the conclusion of paper with the explanation and caveats removed is being cherry picked by another author who then uses it to pretend it means what he thinks it means and make spurious arguments. Pointing at the paper and exclaiming "Science!" isn't a defense. The paper posits human anatomy and physiology that does not exist to reach their speed. It's scarcely different than referencing a paper pointing out humans would swim faster if only they had flippers.

The claim that humanity with all the money, medicine, science, and effort placed into recruiting and training world class sprinters has only managed to achieve less than 70% of the potential top speed for a human and that someone could pop up in the next couple decades that could drop the world record by more than it has moved in the last century in one fell swoop is not plausible. Sprinting is too close to raw power output for this kind record movement and if your analysis says that it is then you need to go back to the drawing board.

I didn't realize that RFK Jr. and Williamson were the best alternatives that Dems had to offer. That they were given equal funding and air time. That they got a fair chance to square off against the president directly over ideas. Carry on then.

That is a pretty generous use of the word 'won'.

If only there were some sort of process we could have engaged in to select a candidate people actually want to vote for.

"Let the market decide."

"No, not like that!"

"The database key was never intended to be a secret. At-rest encryption is not something that Signal Desktop is currently trying to provide or has ever claimed to provide," responded the Signal employee.

Tl:dr Signal is 'insecure' in the same way your mail is 'insecure' after you've opened it and it's sitting on your counter. What, you don't keep you mailed locked up inside you own house just in case someone breaks in?

It's weird that apps sometimes change scope and add features that users want? Ones that contributers already did most of the work for?

Why aren’t they insisting this doesn’t need to be dealt with because it was a feature, not a bug?

That was literally what they have been saying this whole fucking time.

"The database key was never intended to be a secret. At-rest encryption is not something that Signal Desktop is currently trying to provide or has ever claimed to provide," responded the Signal employee.

It does encrpyt messages: In transit, exactly as advertised. Holy fuck.

They didn't fuck up, they made a design choice about the scope of the app. Are they also fucking up by not blurring the messages on screen? After all someone could be looking over your shoulder without you realizing it. Maybe Signal should ship with spyglasses.
