It really is also a states rights thing. The federal government, by design, has no say in how elections or driver's licenses work.

That they have stepped in to the driver's license space is an overstep of their authority, honestly.

The federal government is not the sovereign entity, the many states are.

Where are you crossing? Around here the population on both sides of the border are pretty indistinguishable, except for accent.

I'm a Michigander and I'm laughing at the Britt's complaining about cold and hot. Come to the upper Midwest for a few years and you'll realize just how temperate that little island really is.

Game development is a very specific use case, and NOT what most people think of when talking about devs vs ops.

I'm talking enterprise software and SaaS companies, which would be a MUCH larger part of the tech industry then games.

There are a large number of devs who think public cloud as infrastructure is ALWAYS the right choice for cost and availability for example... Which in my experience is actually backwards, because legacy software and bad developers fail to understand the limitations of this platforms, that it's untrustworthy by design, and outages insue.

In these scenarios understanding how the code interacts with actual hardware (network, server and storage or their IaaS counterparts) is like black magic to most devs... They don't get why their designs are going to fall over and sink into the swamp because of their nievete. It works fine on their laptop, but when you deploy to prod and let customer traffic in it becomes a smoking hole.

"IT people" here, operations guy who keeps the lights on for that software.

It's been my experience developers have no idea how the hardware works, but STRONGLY believe they know more then me.

Devops is also usually more dev than ops, and it shows in the availability numbers.

2016 is well after 9/11/2001... People where already very I jaded on the Internet.

I suspect you where just too young to be jaded yourself yet.

There will be political violence no matter what the election outcome. If he wins it will be post inauguration. If he loses it will be to try and take power.

There has already been too much political violence this election cycle with two assassination attempts.

Until Trump and his MAGA party are put in their place, either by rule of law or the impact of that violence, we will have violence.

Depends on what flag the boat is flying and what port it left and returned too after.

Terrible take, she's not a politician and not interested.

Now Gretchen Whitmer might have been a better candidate had we been able to have a primary.

Yes, correct, the first floor is at ground level. When you place another level above that first floor, it is a second floor.

A single story structure has a floor, it's first floor, and no other.

I mean, yes and no. There's biology that drives human behavior, as much as we want to pretend otherwise and physics are responsible for scarcity.

Given our biological programming and scarcity of resources there isn't an economic system that can "be fair and equal" at any scale beyond hunter gatherer tribes.

The numbers, any way you slice it, are 50/50 right now.

Pennsylvania is anybody's game, Georgia is ever so slightly in Trump's favor but even winning Georgia won't get Harris over the line on its own if she loses Pennsylvania.

This is terrifying, honestly.

Trump won Michigan by less then 10,000 votes in 2016. Tightest presidential outcome in the states history.

And that was after Hillary both ignored and insulted the rust belt.

The polls say otherwise.

She REALLY needs to move the needle in Pennsylvania or magically overcome worse numbers in Georgia and some other state to have a chance in hell of hitting 270.

It's shaping up to be a nail biter to the bitter end.

God help us if SCOTUS chose to steal it for him like the 2000 election.

Ok, but, why?

This seems pretty useless.

Kinda cool, sure, but useless.

What is the point?

Why would we move on from his admitting to what we all know, his goal is the end of our Republic.

What the hell are you talking about, we should NOT move on, that's been the problem all along.

That would be great, she's been a great governor.

Only thing that could be better is a Whitmer/Harris ticket or even a Whitmer/Shapiro ticket.

Even 20 years ago Linux was easier to install then Windows.

Last time I recall Linux being tricky was like late 90s.

Obviously you didn't read what I wrote, because it is not a construction.

We are animals, we have two sexes. Those sexes are different physically, including brain development.

Human genders are the typical manifestation of our sexual dimorphism. Atypical examples are why we've constructed the idea that gender and sex are different, to be socially inclusive to those few outliers.

I mean, entirely false, but ok.

Gender is very much real, you just seem to have a false perception of what the word means.

Most of us do very much have a gender, it is a very small minority who feels their gender does not match their sex, and smaller still are those who, like you apparently, feel no sense of gender at all.

Being outside the common experience doesn't mean you get to disregard the common experience any more then we should disregard your experience.
