The electoral college helps protect people who live in America, but not in the most populous areas. Under mob rule, politicians can support policies specifically targeted to helping affluent/dense populations in cities, and also support policies which further marginalize the remaining 90% of the country. Can you name another mechanism which would achieve that goal of protecting a broader interest better?

Wash it, poke some holes in it, a little oil on the skin, salt, bake

Once cooked, cut it down the middle part way, smash together the ends a bit

bacon, cheddar, sour cream

Harry and the Hendersons when they make him leave. Lithgow telling him he wasn’t wanted 😢

I’m actually planning to do just about that, based on the discussion in this thread.

I found that I can get an unmanaged switch with 4 2.5gbe ports for under $60, I can use my existing cabling at that speed. I’ll upgrade my aging router to an x86 (n100 or similar) and load my favorite router distro on it. Use that as the router, connect Wi-Fi APs (might even use the eero they give me that way).

I’ll upgrade my systems on the Ethernet using USB dongles (several options at around $20 each)

I’m feeling that improving much beyond 2.5 internally is a bit of a waste at this point.

Thanks to all posters in this thread!

At this stage I don’t know - but they seem to describe a setup where they are essentially providing a WiFi 7 router as an access point, which connects to another piece of hardware acting as the gateway

Ezee fiber is the ISP. Eero max 7 WiFi. XGS PON agree, it is symmetrical

Interesting point about cg nat. With my current ISP setup I get an actual (dynamic) ip4 address and ip6 thru 6rd. Can I still point my domain to the nat’d address?

No we’re definitely all gonna die real soon

It’s funny that in the effort to make America great “again” we’re doing things completely differently than we’ve ever done.

The old greatness, but through a dictatorship this time.

What if I buy stuff but then tip all the service workers exorbitantly? Or is that bad because they’ll go on to buy things…

Your identity is more than an attribution via NASA.gov - weren’t you as real before?

Durrrr

The presumption here is that all the non voters would’ve voted against Trump - but even among motivated voters, that wasn’t true. So who’s to say more voters would’ve materially altered the outcome? What makes it likely there’s a different outcome with more voices…? As I remember, it seemed like Kamala was behind all along

Also, the electoral outcomes don’t change much if the yellow state was already aligned to your preference 🤷‍♂️ my vote wouldn’t change the outcome of my state, years of voting on principle for independent and non incumbents have proven that to me, so why bother voting for the pres?

Especially when it is literally giant douche v turd sandwich - neither option represents a win.

Why?

I got in - but there isn’t much to see/do yet. Not sure how to post videos, can’t see anyone else

Weird

Every time I post it’s in the wrong community or against some rule and I get the hammer

I post things I want to see, but I’m apparently alone in that desire

Every one so excited to back the lesser of two evils and wondering why things are the way they are
