  • Anecdotal, I live in NC and know 3 registered Republicans so far who have cast their votes for Harris, I am “Unaffiliated” and voted for Harris. All of us ended up voting straight Dem on the whole ballot because there is so much crazy on our ballots this year.

    The Republicans I know are never Trumpers and just don’t want to give up on the fantasy of what they think the party is supposed to be.

    I’m Unaffiliated because in NC you can choose which primary you want to vote when you show up. And sometimes I feel like I can do more good voting in the Republican primary, but other years have voted in the Dem primary.

    My point, I’m hoping so hard there are a lot of Rino’s and Unaffiliated early voting Harris, Stein, Jackson.





  • I currently have 130+ tabs open in Firefox and 90+ in Chrome in addition to some other programs open and running (libreOffice, vpn, and others) Everything is working fine on my old laptop with an i5 processor and 16G ram and windows 10, ssd hd

    I can’t really game on this, and trying to run a virtual machine is a slog.

    But VS Code, database, xshell, calibre, audacity, photopea, even basic video editing all run fine. Granted I usually do one project at a time, so I’m not using VS Code and editing videos at the same time.

    The browser tabs are usually always open. Oh, and I actually just cleaned up my tabs. There were a lot more…

    I feel like the memory issues are mostly worked out now for most of us.



  • I feel this way about music too. Not just pirated tunes, but copyright takedowns on shorts and in yt vids

    Finding new artists as a fan is hard enough. If someone has reposted your music video as their own, sure I get it.

    But a minute clip or less? Fans or haters talking about it? Let that thing fly free baby! I’ve found so much new music that was background music. I use the family Spotify account or buy merch more than I buy music these days to support.

    I’ve bought so many books from authors that became my favs after they did a free epub once that got my attention.

    There’s always the “do this thing free for the exposure” problem - but people who say that are usually trying to exploit artists for their own gain. Fans are different, they are grass roots and not trying to exploit, but trying to recruit.







  • This requirement is what stalls almost all constitutional changes. The last three to pass were 25th 1971 about voting rights for 18 year olds (100 days to pass) the 26th in 1967 about presidential succession (just under 3 years to pass) The last last one (27th) was added 1992 after almost 203 years of meeting the other requirements (It has to do with sitting Congress not being able to raise their own salaries, increases are delayed to the next term. )

    There are 6 amendments still sitting out there awaiting ratification by the states.
