Different zones on the same spectrum.

I love my Correlle plates, so nice and light and thin and durable.

IMO drunk drivers that haven't injured anyone don't need much punishment beyond having their license suspended, and maybe a wealth-proportional fine. Drunk drivers that have injured or killed someone certainly deserve harsher punishment, but having your entire career ruined over one no-collateral DD incident seems like overkill.

to me, the more principled stance would be to stay and resist until they are forced to fire you, which makes them look bad. I would have no qualms about telling my kids I made the right choice in that scenario. But others have pointed out that doing this might lead to a career civil servant losing their retirement benefits, and I can understand that that is a lot to throw away for resistance actions that will ultimately change very little.

this makes a lot of sense to me. I can understand choosing to resign if this is the case.

i don't really agree that "one could say the same" because these are totally different situations. A voter is not a civil servant. A voter does not get paid to vote. Most voters did not swear an oath to defend the constitution (unless they are a naturalized citizen). A single voter also has no power to block an insurgent force from taking over key government systems, unlike a civil servant.

why are these people leaving? they should force the government to fire them and make a big stink about it.

Not sure what you are trying to get at?

thx Bard, we're still allies to my mind even if we have strategy disagreements <3

yeah don't worry, just the woke mob exaggerating things again

i know you won't respond. but my perspective is that at this point, a seat held by the Dems is not a seat at the table. It is a seat held by a Republican that has decided to pander to non-whites for as long as it is politically advantageous for them. They don't care about us. As income inequality has grown (under the careful care of the Dems), the politics of this country are no longer left vs. right. It's billionaires vs. everyone else, and sorry, but the Dems are going to side with the billionaires every time. Continuing to throw in with the Dems is choosing to give more oxygen to this left vs. right farce. The Dems do not care about protecting poor people, or migrants, or queer people. They are throwing them all under the bus right now, as we speak, to maintain their seat of power under Trump's regime.

[alt text: a two-panel comic meme. The first panel is a photo of Jaden Smith, who is wearing a strange helmet that is shaped like a house, with his face poking out of a cutout where the front door of the house would be. The second panel is a photo of Will Smith from 2022 Academy Awards show, where he is shouting at Chris Rock on stage. The caption on this second panel says,"Keep my son's head out your fuckin' house!"]

TL;DW: At 4K, the RTX 5090 hits 20-50% uplifts in raster as compared to the RTX 4090, and 27-35% uplifts in RT as compared to the RTX 4090. Power efficiency is roughly equivalent to the 4090. The new dual flowthrough cooler design seems to perform exactly as advertised, providing remarkable cooling for a card that is only two slots thick.
