I see two trying to sleep, and one staying up late.

I also just spent a night in a hotel room with my wife and 6y/o though. So it’s hitting a little different maybe.

The alt text isn’t aging as well. USB-C might be it. But in actuality I suspect USB-A will never die.

It’s hard to know, these tech guys are pretty cloistered in their lives in many cases. Many also start that way at private schools and in higher Ed. This is a Stanford dude, which might not be quite as bad as a Harvard dude, but still messed up in subtly different ways.

I have a bit of experience with the east coast elite, living and working with many in Boston for 15 years. They go to a big private high school, like Philips Exeter. It’s got amenities and educational opportunities that are hard to believe, and basically ingrains how much better and special their rich students are than the rest of society (us plebes).

There are seriously fucked up things going on in those places that are teaching these CEO’s kids that they will control and profit from the world, at the expense of everyone who isn’t in their in-group.

It’s really hard to imagine how we’re going to get out of the economic and power structures that got us where we are. Voting reform and real progressives that aren’t part of the existing elite and are willing to do the tough work that won’t set them up in the oligarchy class (or the as the oligarchy’s lackeys) are probably the best chance we have to do it peacefully.

He’s not electable this term, so he’s doing all this to try for Trump’s VP.

Yeah Harris has a “I guess this is the world now” sorta look on her face.

The leopards eat everyone’s face if they win. And in a first past the pole election, sitting out helps them eat all our faces.

unless they go "president is immune for the rest of their lives" which is even more insane.

Alito pretty much did argue that.

He said presidents won’t leave office peacefully if they aren’t able to retire to security without threats of prosecution.

Joining the Face Eating Leopard party is a fucking stupid alternative. Pushing for rank choice voting in their local and state elections to normalize 3rd parties is what can change things.

The idiots who answer unknown numbers regularly.

I’m starting to think it’s the same 60 idiots in all these polls. Ever wonder if the pollsters are on a first name basis with them by now?

It’s the first % of moonshine, so if it’s each jar filled sequentially, the first jar can be deadly, though that’s more with fruit based brandy that grain based.

The problem is quantities of ethanol required to fix it will be too high if you had pure methanol in the early batch.

The early stuff apparently tastes like shit anyway though, so unless they’re completely clueless it’s not likely to make it in.

Yeah, but it must have a backup brake for when the battery is fully charged. Otherwise it would need huge heat sinks to dissipate unused energy.

Or they could just lock the motors and hope for the best.

I think this was posted on r/tall years ago. There were a couple 7 footers on there back before it got weird and toxic with angry shorter dudes.
