Honestly, when Biden picked her I thought it was to build her up as a candidate. Why would you pick a VP from California? It’s not like you need to bolster your California vote as a Democrat. He initially said he would be there bridge to the next generation and I thought maybe he meant through her. But then he gave her all the impossible tasks and kept her out of view. None of it made sense to me.

It is to mayonnaise like margarine is to butter. An inferior imposter.

It won’t pass modern energy standards.

I don’t think Harris would have won at all. In 2020 she dropped before Iowa… That’s before any vote was even cast. Against Trump Biden polled the worst of all candidates, Harris polled the second worst. There is just no reason to think she would have ever earned that position on the ticket.

I would be in favor of destroying these data centers regardless of the president.

And the fact that it’s a mesh so theoretically it should be easy to avoid a single point of failure. If one person with one gets arrested or otherwise silenced, the network stays up. Probably need a way to rotate keys though.

For future reference, any time you want to coordinate some sort of resistance or even protest, the leadership should get on Meshtastic, MeshCore, or some other equivalent. Encrypted mesh communication over radios. The radios are fairly inexpensive starting at around $40.

Really the only thing the iPhone did is make those things more consumer friendly rather than business focused.

I also remember people installing little Java apps on the woefully underpowered Motorola Razr.

With the amount I drive, the 120v charger would be more than enough. But, I work from home…

The same portion that doesn’t want an EV at all.

There is a big difference between supporting them defending themselves and cheering on the war. What everyone should want is the war to stop, not more deaths.

It would be the most popular thing he ever did.

I think it’s quite all right to romanticize taking steps in the right direction towards progressivism and not towards fascism.

No I don’t think that. But, I’m not rooting for thousands of deaths on either side.

Regular people had stated buying them. I had a smartphone and at least one of my friends did a well. Even feature phones were getting so many apps they were converging on being smartphones. They were already getting Facebook and Twitter apps even on those feature phones.

No, any killing is a step too far. It should all be stopped.

That tech was coming regardless. Andy Rubin was already working on Android.

Yeah, I can get behind that. But sinking multiple carriers is a bit extreme. I think what we all really want is the immediate withdrawal of those carriers and no more death.

I get the sentiment, but that’s thousands of deaths.

Edit: It seems we have a ton of war hawks here. I know that Iran is defending itself, as they should. But nobody should be cheering on the war and deaths of thousands on any side. I would cheer on the total withdrawal of the US. I would rather nobody dies senseless deaths.
