  • The how is your anecdote even relevant? By your own admission there are no ads.

  • With the Advent of reserved seating I don't get why this is an issue anymore. Buy the seat you want, let the companies buying ads subsidize your ticket price, and show up after they've played. There's no reason anymore to be stuck in your seat for 20 minutes before show time.

    Women are already sexy, but if they turn out in historic levels to destroy Trump they will somehow become even sexier
  • In many conservative run states areas where Democrats are most concentrated have very few places to vote so lines are long. And they even pass laws making it illegal to bring people waiting in the lines food or water.

    It's a deliberate tactic to disenfranchise voters.

    What are your plans to replace first past the post voting in your state after the election?
  • Saving the post now for an update. The results will probably take a while, the local stuff always does.

    Fired Employee Allegedly Hacked Disney World's Menu System to Alter Peanut Allergy Information
  • The US is at will, nobody gives 2 weeks for termination unless maybe it's a layoff. If a company has grounds to fire you they just fire you. Most will be smart enough to disable accounts before you're even out the door.

  • Murder. Firing a gun in a crowd is not manslaughter because you don't see exactly who you are killing. You know it's going to kill someone and that's the goal so it's murder.

    Americans that have moved to Puerto Rico, what's it like and would recommend it?
  • The US is a shit hole and PR has no support from the mainland while also having to be an island in hurricane Alley. It's not worth it. Worth the hassle to move some place with better labor protections and healthcare. Puerto Rico is beautiful but it's all the worst parts of the US with very little benefit.

    TIL There is a Swap Your Vote Site
  • Indeed, it is. Promising something in exchange for a vote. Also if it required proof that would make it illegal.

    Voyager 1 loses contact with NASA, turns on retro transmitter not used since 1981

    Voyager 1 loses contact with NASA, turns on retro transmitter not used since 1981
  • They're already out there. Just don't get as much news as Voyager. Unfortunately I don't think any will be capable of lasting as long since we stopped using the radio isotope generators. New horizons is currently in the Kupier belt. It's the 5th such probe to reach escape velocity from our solar system. Pioneer 10 and 11 were the other non-voyager probes.

    Edit: I was incorrect, new horizons does use an RTG for power. But right now its mission is slated to end in 2029. I wonder if it will be kept alive like the Voyager probes.

    Edit 2: yeah, the RTG is slated to run out of power to run the transmitters in the 2030s. It was originally designed to be more powerful but the DOE delayed delivery of the plutonium 238 required.

  • Both are by design. The ice cream machine actually just got a DMCA exception so the company that makes it no longer can dictate who repairs it.

    Before the pandemic there were a few homeassistant/smart home YouTubers on the floor of CES every day putting videos out about the new devices they saw throughout the day. I haven't seen any of them doing that since the pandemic.

    Anyone know of one that is still doing that or the best place to get summaries of new devices from CES with a smart home focus?
