They need to give all interviews in with an Inspector Clouseau accent to let us know they are under duress like the US pilot who was put on TV during the first gulf war.

Often times the ads are included in live streamed content like sports. Sports that don’t have ads like older MLB streams just show a weird “we will be back soon” title card because they are just simulcasting the cable broadcast.

The grift is obvious for anyone paying attention but a lot of his base doesn’t realize that they pay almost no tax because of credits and deductions. Tariffs will hit the working class hard.

True but you can run Linux on your own machine but it doesn’t stop anyone from paying AWS or Microsoft to handle it for them.

In a way I’m glad he’s doing this. He’s going to inflect so much pain that he loses in a landslide in four or 8 years or whatever. If income tax rates are 0, then a new administration would be able to set them as high as they want without consideration of trying to increase them by 2 percent or whatever they do now.

My kid has an Apple Watch but because you can’t play a game on it he often leaves it charging by his bed. He’s also responsible and sets alarms for his chores which means I’m often the only one around when they go off. Sometimes I think about turning it off and hiding it.

I’m all in on the Apple ecosystem but won’t get an Apple Watch for that reason. Besides the fact that I already get distracted enough, I can’t bear to have a wearable that won’t make it 24 hours without a charge. Resistance to that level of obligation is the same reason I never bought a Tamagotchi.

States would need to create an emergency bureaucracy redundant to each other state. California or Texas could do it but good luck South Dakota.

Hold on there pal that time zone is ambiguous. Did you mean 11:40:20 UTC? If so, don’t forget your Z!

Europe: 10/12/2025 USA: 12/10/2025 If you don’t have context as to which system this is, would 2025/12/10 make things less ambiguous?

If you go to the mirrors page you’ll see cdimage.debian.org under Sweden and it’s an http link. My guess is that the link is just misconfigured on the home page. It’s helpful to avoid https for things like this because it allows you to download updates on machines with outdated security software, eg TLS 1.0/1.1.
