Everything with this guy is a scam. I wonder what this one is going to be.

I think this is a valid question. We should prepare for whatever is coming.

I don’t know though. Maybe sabotage the voting system enough to cast doubt, then tie the whole thing up in litigation? This still might not do it because I think the electors of a state can make a decision of behalf of the population if the voting doesn’t workout as planned.

So the President’s term is up, but not the VP? That logic doesn’t seem consistent.

thank you

congrats!

American here. What is a bj bar?

Last night while watching videos of nuclear strikes like a normal person, I thought about how the coming election would be such an opportune time for Russia to strike the US. It could strike while Trump is going off on his stolen election bs, say that Harris is too weak and that’s why Putin struck (whatever bs), and send the country into pure madness. I know it’s insane and very unlikely, but I’m still worried about the election. I have a feeling something bad is going to happen. Either Trump wins and we’re all screwed, or Trump loses and starts a legit insurrection. I hope I’m so wrong.

anyone know how I can play this game? I’m on an Ubuntu derivative

I’m happy to hear that you are safe and experienced no major damage. Hopefully, things get back to normal for you soon.

The houses in Florida are built considering hurricanes, so they are more sturdy. Also, Florida is super flat and it has been raining everyday for months, so the ground was permeable but a little full already. Because it’s also near the ocean, the water can spread out into sea quickly.

The houses in NC are much less sturdy, so they would be more susceptible to wind damage. Also, because of the mountains, the valleys become pools of flood water. The ground there is much harder than in Florida, so it doesn’t absorb the rain as much. Since the pools are in the mountains, there’s only two ways for the water to leave. For the lucky valleys that aren’t entirely surrounded, the water can escape through the gaps making temporary rivers. The other route is through evaporation, which takes a long time. This delays the ability of recovery efforts because people literally can’t even get to the disaster zone.

I’m glad you’re safe.

Comet C/2023 A3’s coma is about 2.8 feet in diameter and the tail measures about 16.9 feet in length.

Its closest approach to Earth will be on Oct. 11 or 12, according to BBC Sky at Night. It will still be about 44 million miles away.

It’s so tiny! I’m surprised we can see something that small from such a far distance.

For observers in the Northern Hemisphere, comet C/2023 A3 can be found in the constellation Sextans and will rise one hour before the sun, according to Astronomy.com.

The comet will be visible in the Northern Hemisphere in the evening, just after sunset, when it is low in the southwestern sky.

I’m confused. Is the best time to see it just before sunrise or just after sunset??

That’s the only way I use it. I auto-start the panel applet, and it connects automatically for me. My only complaint is that if I let it choose “the best” server to connect to, it picks a server in another state more often than not, and I rather it only pick servers in my state. As a work-around, I force a specific server in my state. The downside is that it probably makes me more trackable to sites since I connect to them from the same IP every time, but I’m sure it doesn’t really matter since they finger print my browser. I’m more concerned with encrypted communication than anonymity anyway. It’s not like the bank or YouTube doesn’t know it’s me when I sign in.

If anyone knows how to make it select among servers within a specific state automatically on auto-start, pls let me know.

I am 100% anti-skub!! where can i get my reasons for being anti??

During the Golden Age of Piracy, pirates would fly a red flag to communicate no quarter. That meant that if anyone decided to fight back would be killed because they were not taking prisoners.

Imagine being a miserable English sailor months from home, broke af, and hungry, when you’re out in the ocean about to head back and you see this pulling up:

☠️ TIME TO MOTHERFUCKIN DIE ☠️

what is a skub in this context?

those things freak me out

They’re pretty common in the rural areas of Florida.

I have a shirt of a black panther holding a shotgun.

Back in the late 90s, I had a close friend in high school that went down the wrong path. He started dating a horrible girl and got into drugs pretty bad, so I had to cut him off. Later on when I was dating my high school gf, she told me she saw him outside some local store trying to sell oregano as weed and almost got himself killed. Weed now is for chill people, but back in the 90s, it’s how hard and tormented souls used to self-medicate. Selling bogus weed to people was such a stupid risky idea, especially in our part of the city. Luckily, he had a coming to terms moment, quit that life, and ended graduating with an engineering degree from a pretty good university. Last I heard, he’s still friends with that PoS girl though.
