  • difference between the nonsense Trump pushed out and this

    Trump and his allies cited exactly the same kind of ‘anomalous voting trends’ as evidence of vote manipulation. Unless you have something more substantive than ‘these ballots don’t look like we expected them to’ then this is exactly the same kind of non-evidence MAGA had.

    The biden administration was exceptionally unpopular. Anti-Kamala democratic voters have been very clear about why they didn’t vote for her. Rather than reckoning with their complete unpopularity, democrats would rather blame their loss on ‘woke’ politics and vote manipulation.


  • After 4 years of liberals laughing away MAGA conspiracies about hacked voting machines in the 2020 election, suddenly those concerns are very serious and very real?

    I haven’t seen anything in the way of actual evidence something nefarious happened here, except some hefty speculation about split ticket voting and a couple vague (but entirely on-brand) comments from Trump.

    It’s just funny to me that liberals are unironically repeating the same baseless accusations that chuds were for the last 4 years without much more in the way of evidence (if any at all)











  • This one surprised me, too.

    I had a nasty habit of waiting until the evening to do my papers in college, because that was when it was acceptable to have some wine or whiskey while I wrote. But it was amazing just how much easier it was to stay on task after having a drink, and during finals - or after college when i was on deadline - i would alternate between liters of coffee in the morning and several drinks in the evening.

    Now that I’m medicated both coffee and alcohol are just occasional indulgences… well, alcohol is at least. But I didn’t expect it to help curb my impulsive consumption habits like it has- it’s been a game-changer.


  • Would be, but unfortunately all I have are fluorescent troffers down there. But a single extension and splitter cable might still be acceptable. I also thought about getting some usb battery banks - the cameras run off a 5v power adapter, I think a 15000mAh battery might last a couple days or even just one (not sure how many watts they draw running the custom firmware).

    I was hoping for a cleaner solution but it might be one of those “pick two” situations.
