No problem dude, we’ll put a few of them on your upcoming juries.

LOL the first trick is my go to. I regularly read Washington Post articles in notepad.

She’s a former prosecutor. If MAGA pulls shit I’m sure she will pull out the fan.

It’s almost like some people with a lot of money do shit people without money want to do but can’t afford to.

Yep, that’s what I heard. They also do overnight backups so it needs downtime, kind of like people.

The AI bubble might be the 2020s’ dotcom bubble.

I agree but that’s not limited to conservatism at all. Many liberals feel the same way in third person, outraged that anyone is wealthy if anyone else isn’t.

It’s a little more complicated than that. I think conservatism is driven by many existential fears that are so strong, denying reality feels safer than facing it.

I don’t like it dripping with grease either, I like it dripping with honey and just the right amount of butter!

So they’re more worried about misinformation about the results than misinformation that influences the actual voting. Well alrighty.

Unrelated, I can’t help noticing how much Altman reminds me of Luke Dunphy from Modern Family.

Not true! Stein had a profound influence on the 2016 election, when she got more votes in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin than Trump’s margin over Clinton in those states. That doesn’t necessarily mean her voters would have voted for Clinton, but getting Clinton voters was definitely her job.

Third party? More like ten or twelve! I was gobsmacked when I saw how many presidential candidates were on my ballot who I haven’t heard of.

My two cats have an odd outside-the-box thing. One likes to leave a back leg hanging out, usually off the edge of whatever he’s sleeping on. The other does it with a front leg. They’ve always been very consistent about it.

Sometimes it helps if you remind yourself that criticizing a group they don’t belong to fills some peoples need to feel more powerful. For me adjusting my bad parking is just perfectionism or OCD. I even edit most of my comments after posting LOL.

Doesn’t seem that hard to get. From observation it appears that grown men can still long for father figures.

Thanks for putting so much time and thought into the discussion. All the problems you talk about exist for every search engine in actual use today. For example, publishing a site on a brand new domain has the exact problem you’re describing with spinning up a new Forte instance. There can be a 24-hr lag before DNS can reliably find the site. Perfect search is an aspirational goal. The realistic goal is to satisfy most needs. No matter how many words you throw at it, I don’t think federated search is an outlandish idea at all.

Fake, like his fake union workers ad and his fake-patriotic chinese-made merch.

I’ll be so glad when this election is over and he can just lose the rest of his criminal cases and get sentenced, or have his final Big Mac Attack and dodge justice forever.
