If you are standing in your shower (shower thoughts) and try to travel 200 years back, your location in space is not where the solar system, nor the earth was 200 years ago. So there’s that…

Physics-wise, the only conceived ways to time travel to the past is either FTL travel or wormholes, with the latter requiring “exotic matter” to stabilize, and even then, you can’t go back to any arbitrary time. Nobody knows if exotic matter actually exists. FTL seems off the board.

There are mechanisms in place to keep history and the past safe for historians.

I think our global economy is safe.

Surprise David, they have abandoned both.

Their models have been really accurate for the last several election cycles. They’re part of fivethirtyeight.com

Hit her with the facts - the Chinese invented fake orange juice in the Tang dynasty and so that’s your fave.

Up to 128 cores. Not meant for gaming, but it cranks at server tasks, compiling & coding tasks, etc.

There’s a windows dev kit (ARM) that I think is 3ghz: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/windows-dev-kit-2023

But bleeding edge stuff from MS means likely driver issues, and this isn’t something you’ll throw a dedicated graphics card in.

Still, feels like the tide is changing away from Intel. I too was looking at “ARM for Desktop” options a couple weeks back.

Teach her to take a drink and then smack her lips and say, “ahhh”.

The SCOTUS will not save us. We need to vote.

Don’t count on anyone else to bail us out.

The only way to save democracy is to get voters to the polls. “Hoping” won’t work. Expecting SCOTUS, Norms, Guardrails, etc is going to fail. If you want democracy to continue, vote, get your friends to vote, run for local office, get anyone and everyone you know to go vote - even if you’re in a solid blue area.

Nothing is coming to save us.

He wasn’t convicted of paying off a porn star. He was convicted of fake business records and falsifying records to promote getting elected.

Not sure how that’s a presidential official act.

But maybe in the orange brain, he’s always been president.
