Yeah but the entire philosophy of Framework would be one phone construction standard and then you swap out the radio chip. Granted, there’s never been a hard phone standard, and the parts have never been designed for swapping. They would be the ones designing and commissioning these standards. Anyway, so I’m gonna be waiting very patiently.

I hope my phone lasts until we get a framework phone.

So, I agree with everything you said, I’m just not as confident as I would like to be that Iran would stay their own hand. I agree that it’s an idiotic idea, actually using a nuke, which is part of why even North Korea hasn’t used theirs, but I’m just not that confident Iran could resist the temptation once they’ve got it. Making Israel disappear is high on their priority list, even if it’s a stupid idea.

I’m not dedicated to the preservation of Israel or anything, but part of preserving the taboo against nukes means making sure that we never actually have to retaliate after a strike. Like you said, the cat is out of the bag as far as owning nukes goes, we don’t want to end up in a situation where we have to say “okay, WWII and then that time Israel disappeared but we’re serious, no more nukes?”

I would happily give up all our nukes if everyone else agreed to do so as well.

So… Yes, but we still can’t allow them to have the ability to take out an entire city in one strike. Sucks, I know, but there are lines.

“Death to America” does not constitute a slightly different world view. They are perfectly reasonable in their pursuit of nukes, and we’re perfectly reasonable in stopping them. When someone repeatedly says “we want to drop a nuke on people” you believe them and do what it takes to stop them.

So were they going for nukes or not? Because your first comment seemed to claim they weren’t interested in nukes, but now you seem to claim they were justified in going for nukes this whole time.

(For the audience, Iran has been interested in nukes since at least the 90s, but has been prevented from getting one by lots of outside actors.)

There is no reason to be weeks away from an atomic bomb unless you’re interested in building a bomb. Tulsi was wrong about the timeline, but they were/are doing all the things a country interested in building a bomb would do.

Others have discovered that Gamboa has carried his rifle at other “non-right” protests while dressed in a similar manner. They may be a case of the shooter being jumpy.

Me. Porn is fine. Teach your children how to handle it. Teach them that it’s not realistic and some of it is straight-up dangerous. Put a filter on your internet if you’re too scared to talk to your kids about uncomfortable topics.

They will eventually change the default to “on.”

I love this thing too hell and back. This is exactly what I want in a car/truck.

It’s not an overpass. A loose brick falls off a truck going in the opposite direction, bounces off the pavement once, then goes through the windshield.

Edit: oh hurray, there’s two different brick videos.

We need to run an exciting candidate. Their race doesn’t matter. Elections these days are about getting your base excited and making the opponent’s apathetic. AOC is exciting. While her being a minority woman will piss off far right voters, it won’t be like it was with Hilary, who had decades of media attacks conditioning the right to absolutely despise her.

Yeah that touchscreen tablet convertible machine is what has me psyched. I’m not the target for it, and already own a 16, but I could see that thing selling well. I honestly think they came out with the desktop because they just kinda felt they needed a desktop.

I got it on a Pixel 7, but I uninstalled it because I’m not trying to have Google spy on me for yet another reason.

He certainly reads at a very low level, and I’ve seen analysis of his speeches explaining how we know this. I don’t know if he’s always been that bad at reading or if this is a new thing in the last 10 years or so.

I, in fact, do not know how the sausage is cooked. It’s great!

I would assume that the post got to their feed through an intermediate instance that they are federated with, yeah?

I’m using GNUCash. I have no idea if it’s good or not, because that’s all I’ve ever used, but it works well enough.
