Dalí was a huge Alice Cooper fan

But Rogan chose revenge, not unity in giving Trump a platform and endorsing him.

I guess the world burning was worth sticking it to Kamala for Gaza.

The media normalized him. Just like they did to Hitler.

I don't know about overvaluation of individual companies, but i do know that DJIA is overrated legacy crap from the 1870's that only exists because human computational power was limited.

The S&P is going to be much more reliable a metric than, "Here's 30 companies to buy stock in chaps" targeted at conservative WSJ readers.

SiS 6326 with 8MB.

It was 1999 but I had a very limited budget, around $400, for the entire system. This was my first AGP card.

The Wikipedia article says that this was not supported well by Linux but that's just not the case. It was the first card for Linux and FreeBSD that I had which let me view more than 256 colors. I ran KDE 1.x and then XFce.

Something happened between then and 2001 where I got a GeForce 2 MX 400 which ran fine with FreeBSD for many years.

This has been the story of Linux since the 1990s.

BSD does the same thing. They famously stuck at the gcc 4.2 series about a decade too long because of licenses.

Nothing new under the sun.

It's an incredibly fun and popular sport and the World Series just ended.

Articles like this are good at highlighting that nothing sacred is safe from climate change.

If a couple dozen people read the article from a baseball fan's perspective and suddenly it clicks for them, it's a win.

No. Space Force chief wants more money, of course there's another disaster coming.

If they were serious about space tech, the first step would be to end all contracts with compromised Elon Musk.

Also, ArsTechnica is kind of a dumpster fire on reporting anything PRC and allowing ethnic slurs in the comment section so take it with a grain of salt.

Fun interview, I didn't realize he was educated as an actual medical doctor.

In my state, getting at least 2% of the vote for either Governor or President in a general election keeps the Party on the ballot for the next election.

Without hitting that 2% threshold, the party loses its official status and has to go back to petitioning status, which means resources are tied up both canvassing for tens of thousands of signatures and fighting in courts to get reinstated. So it's a perpetual ground game and prevents the party from taking off.

The Libertarian Party has remained above that threshold for about a decade now, the only third party to do so consistently, and that's pretty scary.
