Walters outlines five areas where he sees this as beneficial for Oklahoma schools:
Parental rights
Ok
Ending social indoctrination in classrooms
So far so good....
protecting patriotism in curriculum, stopping illegal immigration’s impact on schools
Wait..... didn't you just say you were gonna end that?
Said it before, I'll say it again....we are, absolutely, without question.....in the Biff timeline.
JD Vance? Is that you?
Touché
That sounds so very made up....but goddamnit I want to believe!
Sure....but can it run Crysis?
I drive 130-160km(depending what route I take) a day getting to and from work 5 days a week. It's about 2hrs driving time daily. £70 of fuel a week roughly. The fact that these people are spending probably just as much time, and magnitudes more money to go the same distance.... seems like an angry mob and a BBQ could solve this problem....
As a fellow Canadian, make sure to not let PP get in so that we're on the good side of the next ww...
....damn... pretty smart for 10 squirrels in a trenchcoat...
Listened to an interview, shortly after Binden stepped out, with a young Muslim Dem guy who was trying to drum up support in the DNC. He, and the people working with him, were really concerned about the alienation of the Muslim voting block. From what he was saying, it seems the community would usually vote Dem because the GOP are really hostile towards Muslims. But most traditionalist Muslims are hard C conservative, and on the surface level have a lot in common with the "Evangelical" nutjobs that seems to be running the show. He found some success in gaining wider support, but not enough to get a stance change on Gaza or to try and keep the Muslim voters with the Dems.
All that said....it wasn't, according to exit polls, the Muslim voters that really killed them on this run. The biggest shift, from what I understand, was with the Latino community. And you might think "Well shit, Trump shit talks Latinos all the time, he'll there was that shit he was saying about Puerto Rico not too long ago!"
But with any large and generalised community, there's a lot of "in group hatred". There's always going to be an "other."
"So what if Trump hates Puerto Ricans, I'm Cuban, his hate of this group won't affect me..."
And this is how leopards ate their faces.
It's the human condition to focus on the bad bit that's most recent and to assume that you'll be doing great in the future....
It's really unfair. The older we get, the faster time seems to pass, and the less we have to spare. If we're lucky, maybe we can get 15 or 20 years at the end to enjoy our labour...most of us will be too banged up from the grind to enjoy it.
So I posted a few weeks ago asking for opinions on the Surface Pro 4, trying to decide if I should pick one up and slap Linux on it.
Opinions were.....mixed.
I got a decent deal on one, and that's partly why it's taken me so long to post an update. It was cheap because the previous buyer had returned it to the seller claiming that there were power issues. The seller said they hadn't encountered said issues in the hour or so of testing they did, and I call fucking bullshit!
Once powered off or restarted it was taking up to 48hrs before it would grace me with booting up. And usable time ranged for 15mins to an hour before system lockup resulting in either a freeze until battery run out, or immediate system shutdown, and another 12-48hrs wait to power it up again. Obviously this is suboptimal.
Part of the issue, possibly unsurprisingly, was windows and the stripped down BIOS. After turning off secure boot, turning off the "battery saver" mode(restricts charging to 50% of total capacity) and scrubbing windows off the drive like a crusty booger...things have improved. I'm still unable to restart the device, restart powers down, but no power up. Wait times to power up again went from probably 36hrs average to 2hrs average, and if I just don't turn it off, the system is stable.
My time with Nobara on the surface has been really enjoyable, everything is just stock, I've not wanted to muck around too much and get attached in case I can't figure out the actual root cause of the power issues.
As such, not really much else to report other than Nobara running well, and pretty much everything running as well or better than when windows was installed. Touch functionality works slightly differently in Nobara than Windows, but that's not really a bother for me.
If any of you greybeard wizards has any ideas on what might be happening with the power cycle issues I'd appreciate some suggestions. I think it may be a battery issue, but I'm waiting on a hot air station to be able to open it up and have a proper look at it's guts. Doesn't seem to have anything to do with temps, that was my first thought but that didn't pan out.
The title, also here's a picture of my cat to drive engagement.
Thanks Bethesda.....
