Then again you have female Republican voters and minority Republican voters, and farmer Republican voters... all who voted for their own destruction so I guess I shouldn't be too astonished.

It's the same as good ol' Mitch. He can hate others and not in one specific case. Being racist doesnt mean you have to be all the time.

What I don't get is how she could marry him. Who signs up or stays with someone who promotes hate for every aspect of yourself?

Been doing that for many, many years.

Just recently made some tweaks and now my vimwiki output goes to my Obsidian directory. This way i can get a nicer output on my phone when I'm really just wishing to search and read my notes instead of taking them.

For a long time I was doing a bullet journal for management and another notebook for notes, written in shorthand. was great for when i worked in an office, didn't have to lug around my computer. The downside was that deep searching for things was impossible. You tell me the day and I could find it but 3 months about at some point we talked about X...

Now that I've been work from home for 6 years I've switched to todo.txt and Obsidian (vimwiki set to output the same location). Syncthing to keep computer and phone working.

i also do 43 Folders for intake of mail and tasks with some sort of physical medium.

As for workflow I have a daily note template that has:

  • Morning routine checklist (already filled out)
  • Curated To Do list for the day
  • Section for Meetings / Calls / One Off Immediate Task
  • General Notes
  • "For tomorrow..."

My routine has steps for filling out the rest of the notes and lists, checking emails, 43 folders, etc. This way all i really have to do is follow the steps.

is that the part you sit on when you're up on your peddle stool?

Border entry is different than self incrimination.

If you are charged with a crime you cannot be compelled to give a password as it resides in your head. However if you use finger prints or face recognition to unlock it you're SOL.

Best thing to do is get an android and setup a dummy account. use that account when you get off the plane so when you unlock it there is nothing to go through.

I've got a few pocket nodes, got a solar node on my roof and just outside the range to transmit into a massive mesh we have around the city. But i hear all the chatter.

Honestly its far more boring than anything I've done with ham radio. No one is having conversations, there are no nets, no socializing using the technology. Just people pinging from random locations.

Where as with my ham license I have local repeaters where we have nets on different topics, including one at midnight for anyone who is up. I chat with people using DMR, EchoLink and Allstar to get out to places all over thw world with just an HT. I do HF work for contests, rag chewing SSB, CW and digital modes. I build hardware and antenna, work from parks, collect QSL cards.

And i also bought a $30 meahtastic radio that i occasionally get a "Ping from downtown, anyone hear me?"

Thinking about the code I've written over the last quarter century I'd wager that a majority of it was somewhere between mediocre and bad. Some is good and a very small bit is actually exceptional. I think that's a pretty common rating of our output.

This is what coding LLM learn from. No one is selective and only trains on the most elite code ever written. Nope, just the buggy stuff we all put up on Github. So of course these LLMs are gonna be writing junk code half the time.

I think what amazes me the most is that is seems like every single maga politician is an absolute garbage person. You'd think sheerly by statistics there would have to be one who isn't but apparently that isn't the case.

Though most democracies don't shoot people when they are in good times quite like the US.

[–] jecxjo@midwest.social 5 points 3 months ago

How do you "move on" from knowing my neighbors are nazi fascists? How do I just ignore the fact they voted to destroy families of people they dont like, dehumanizing them and laughing at it when people fall apart?

You don't get to pretend you voted for a fascist party and aren't a fascist yourself. We all know that if there is a Trump replacement when he dies these same people will want a new hate party leader in office. If you think we are just going to move in maybe ask the Germans how painful the transition of the 20 years post WW2 was for them. That's what is in store for the US if things don't change now.

Kinda like how The Great War was great, right?
