I was told that i’m gay because my SSN ends with 1369. Ohh and also was told i’m gay because my mother’s maiden name is Gaylord. Where do people come up with these rules???

Your point being that it’s futile to cast a vote for something that won’t come to fruition? Thanks for supporting the original point that voting for a third party candidate is a waste of your vote, and just helps Trump.

You don’t need to vote third party to get Ranked Choice Voting. There are ballot measures this election to introduce ranked choice voting, independent on who you vote for President. You can vote for Harris and RCV if you’re in one of these states:

Oregon

Oregon voters will vote on Measure 117 in November 2024 on whether they will use ranked choice voting general elections for statewide and federal offices (starting in 2028).

The Oregon Legislature passed the reform in 2023, but any change to the state constitution requires referral to the voters before enacting.

Colorado

Proposition 131 will appear on Colorado’s November 2024 ballot. If passed, it would establish an “all-candidate primary” where the top four vote getters move on to a ranked-choice general election.

Idaho

Proposition 1 has been certified to appear on Idaho’s November 2024 ballot. If passed, it would establish an “all-candidate primary” where the top four vote getters move on to a ranked-choice general election.

Nevada

Nevada voters will vote in November 2024 on whether they will use open primaries and ranked choice voting general elections (starting in 2026).

Voters already approved it in 2022, but it needs to pass in two consecutive ballot measures in order to amend the state constitution.

Washington D.C.

Initiative 83 will open up the District’s primary elections to allow voters not registered with a political party to participate (~71,000 people). General elections will use ranked-choice voting where voters can rank up to 5 candidates.

Thanks for the heads up, I didn’t have any plans for the next month anyway.

I played the free demo of Factorio for about 10 hours and got hooked. Waited a bit to see if the price would go down, but it didn’t and I didn’t care. Bought it at full price and sunk a few hundred hours into it, which is some of the best entertainment ROI from a cost/hours perspective. It turned out to be a bad ROI from a general life perspective since I didn’t do much else during that time, so be careful to not get too addicted.

Interesting, that’s not something I ever thought about. I just looked up the nameservers for .bb:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns5.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns3.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns2.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns1.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns4.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns6.nic.bb.

It seems like ns1.nic.bb doesn’t resolve, and for 2-6, they’re all in either 64.68.192.0/20 or 64.119.192.0/20, so it does look like a small concentration in root nameservers which could be unavailable in a storm.

the warning for future tech founders is clear: Be careful when picking your top-level domain. Physical history is never as separate from our digital future as we like to think.

Kinda ironic this is published to a website with a .to ccTLD for the Kingdom of Tonga.

What’s the s3 app for your phone?

Don’t even get me started with about:config

I don’t particularly like Linus, but he was bearable in this video. As someone who assumed this was a SIM swap, I was genuinely as confused as he was playing it up when he was able to place calls but not receive them. That was really interesting.

Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for, but I’d say the mystery of the dead bear cub in central park 10 years ago. This was minor news back then and basically was forgotten about, until RFK Jr. (former third party presidential candidate) admitted to being the person behind it, confessing it to a confused Roseanne Barr.

Not sure the genre or trope, but Poker Face (and 6 Feet Under), the additional subgenre for me is “who’s gonna die in the first scene”.

The TSA press office said in a statement that this vulnerability could not be used to access a KCM checkpoint because the TSA initiates a vetting process before issuing a KCM barcode to a new member. However, a KCM barcode is not required to use KCM checkpoints, as the TSO can enter an airline employee ID manually. After we informed the TSA of this, they deleted the section of their website that mentions manually entering an employee ID, and did not respond to our correction. We have confirmed that the interface used by TSOs still allows manual input of employee IDs.

TSA: lalala i can’t hear you, everything is fine, no issue here

These are probably comments on this Veritasium video which actually pretty informative.

That being said, I also live in a “first past the post” country that forces a two-party system and penalizes voting your conscience unless it aligns with one of those parties. While there may be flaws in Ranked Choice Voting that could emerge in fringe cases, it is so obviously superior to our current system that it is hard for me to worry too much about the nuance of how it might not be 100% perfect 100% of the time. Any (democratic) system is better than what we have now.

Even as your Boeing flight is falling out of the sky, they find a way to fail you one last time.

That’s Tammy, Trey’s ex-girlfriend. This is classic Tammy. Trey broke up with Tammy because Maureen Kanallen said that she saw Tammy flirting with Walt Timny at a party, but she was only doing it to make Trey jealous because you know, she thought that Trey secretly liked Erin Henebry, but he doesn’t like Erin Henebry, it was all a bunch of bull.

Donald Rumsfeld also holds the record for deflecting the most direct questions if he is a secretly a lizard person: https://youtu.be/qQ8L9OQZs1A

wait they make those?? I bet the suction cups don’t hold up. do you have a link, I think I’ll need to test this for myself, for science.

I think the /c/ in your climate town link is messing up my client (Alexandrite). For others who experience the same, here’s an alternate URL: https://www.youtube.com/@ClimateTown
