Sounds like there needs to be additional fines. Better get to investigating all the other shit he and Twitter have done.

Surely the 50+ year long embargo preventing them from commerce and trade with half the world had absolutely no bearing on that whatsoever.

You’re right… It first has to be… To grow.

Germanys system was litterly created to ensure such as nazis wont take power ever again

He says without a hint of sarcasm despite the AfD existing and growing.

I would recommend verifying that your government doesn’t have 3/4 of the system based solely on gentleman’s agreements, non-codified precedent, and rules that the politicians can change on their own at any time.

Also replace any sort of First Past The Post election system of there is one, clearly it just allows a minority to take over once they are smart enough to do the math.

FPTP results in an inevitable two party system over time, and it only takes one of them realizing they don’t actually need a majority, and can ignore the other party if their goal is destroying the institution getting in their way.

Fundamentally that’s all it has taken for the US to come to this point so quickly. One party, with power fueled by the FPTP system, who are trying to make the government function poorly to the point they can justify unilaterally changing it.

Most small scale home and business NAS deployments are still going to use spinning disks, not SSD due to the lower cost per GB and the fact that HDD arrays already have enough speed for most small scale use cases.

My disk array at home gets close to SATA SSD speeds in most workloads already, and it’s plenty fast enough for anything I can throw at it.

There are still a lot of devices in use that don’t support NVMe, especially older portable devices. And there are plenty of boards with M.2 slots that only support SATA, not NVMe, over some or all of those slots. It’s one of the areas that board manufacturers often use to cut corners and reduce costs.

Getting a separate PCIe card is easy enough for a desktop, even a low profile one, but that’s not an option across the board.

That being said, SATA SSD production was already probably getting near being dramatically reduced because NVMe is so prevalent now.

So they’re not actively enforcing the weird grey area they made by defining only one THC cannabinoid, and allowing derivatives that don’t have to conform to the same level.

Is it that surprising that they fucked up trying to define something they don’t actually understand? Although it’s more likely the loophole was intentionally made by the lobbyists for the various cannabis companies that actually wrote that part of the bill, as is tradition now.

No it wasn’t. The 2018 farm bill removed Hemp from the list and specific it as different from marijuana, and derivatives as long as they have less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC. This is also why CBD products are available essentially across the board. CBD is excluded and listed as separate from THC, because it is not psychoactive.

There have been multiple subsequent court rulings that have had differing conclusions regarding various products that came on the market after that. More specifically around arguments about Delta-8 THC derived from <0.3% Delta-9 products and natural vs synthetic derivatives.

Marijuana in general was by no means “legalized” by the 2018 Farm Bill.

Not true, it has 1 medical use. To treat severe alcohol withdrawal, which can be fatal.

Assuming of course you ignore the fact it’s also the cause of that issue.

Corporate requirement from executives to use the AI they’re developing/paying for, without any regard to actual usefulness to the business.

Hell anyone who watched the show. They didn’t even have to work on it.

A lot of people don’t have the money to afford it anymore. Cannabis is a lot cheaper especially if you go the route of things like vapes versus flower.

Post 9/11 knee jerk responses that began to erode and destroy a lot of what made the US. The Taliban already won then and there.

The US always has done heinous shit but it was always under the covers. Not blatantly out in the open.

They avoid areas that are known to be well armed.

American Whiskey was a very popular export, especially to Canada.

And they have become very good at boycotting US goods. Especially when there are plenty of alternatives.

Surveying Dems about the same question will probably get you near 100%. It’s the same 37-38% that are always blind followers for the Rs.

You don’t have to rake it away, just make it irrelevant. They only have so much power now because First Past the Post voting systems don’t need anywhere near a majority, just a little more than everyone else. So with as few as 3 candidates you could win with only 34% of the vote.

Switching to an actually representative election style like ranked choice voting means the outliers are represented more accurately instead of getting an oversized platform their size doesn’t warrant.

While it is opt-in, it requires almost no user input other than agreeing. Everything is automated and takes just a few seconds.

I’m willing to bet the number of people that opt out is so small that it is statistically irrelevant.

I have a buddy that literally just had coffee spilled on his old gaming laptop. He mostly used it for some older games, like Skyrim was the newest. And he does a lot of urban camping and stuff like that.

The Steam Deck is a perfect replacement for his use case. Just waiting for another sale since he just missed this recent one.
