You cannot expect me to believe this schtick where you pretend this information doesn’t belong in the context of the broader discussion about the outcome of the 2024 election. This is not a free floating factoid you happened to be interested in for the purely intellectual pursuit of understanding the motivations of Democratic voters. What is the importance of this information outside of that context?

19 million people in states where the outcome was a foregone conclusion. In the six states that flipped the difference was less than 80,000 votes.

//edit: Ok I was being flippant with this reply after my annoyance with another thread about this same thing. I didn’t even really stop to process just how dumb that 19 million number is. Are we supposed to believe that 19 million people didn’t vote for Harris after voting for Biden, but since the Actual difference in outcome was only about 6 million votes that Harris found 13 million other people to show up and take their place? Seems pretty fucking unlikely considering that the overwhelming majority of people who don’t vote aren’t registered and never vote.

Brother, total voter turnout in 2024 has nothing to do with who voted in 2020.

Nothing? No, really. Nothing?

Sure was weird to spend so much effort looking at this particular group of people in the OP then. I think you’re grasping at straws here.

I guess going from “The discussion is over.” to “it is entirely possible” is progress of a sort.

Some pedantry from me.

We can’t rule out the decisiveness of this issue based on the contents of this thread. I have seen enough other polling about low engagement/infrequent voters to have convinced me throroughly that those folks who might have turned out, but did not favored Trump because they thought he would be better on the economy.

Even that, I admit, does not mean there was not some way for Harris to come out against Israel and distance herself from Biden that would have managed to motivate a subset of low engagement voters who weren’t that concerned about the economy, were concerned primarily about Gaza, and large enough to be decisive, but we’re getting pretty thin thin with the should/could/would haves here.

If you’re telling me that you think Harris lost 20% of Biden’s voters to Trump in those 6 states, then yes, one of us definitely isn’t reading. But it ain’t me.

Trump did not win the election from voters abandoning the democratic party. It’s a fun and convenient story to spin to your dearest issues, but that just isn’t what happened. I don’t doubt at all what the survey is saying, it just isn’t talking about that many people. You’ll notice nowhere in any of these graphics does it address the actual proportion of voters who fall into this category? There’s a reason for that. Masses of Biden voters staying home or voting for someone besides Harris happened in California and New York, where it was convenient. It did not happen where it actually mattered, in places like Georgia and Pennsylvania.

Across the states that flipped from 2020 to 2024 Harris got 99.4% of Biden’s total. She only lost ~79,000 votes across six states that cast more than 25 million votes each election. The difference between the 2020 Trump that lost and the 2024 Trump that got the flips was more than ten times larger, over ~810,000.

That this election was not decided on opinions about sending weapons and support to Israel is evidenced even here. In the graphics for this survey in both questions where it pops up, the choice “makes no difference” was by far the most popular answer. There’s no advocacy here from me. No pride or misery(well okay, some misery). It’s just a fact that the ‘average American’, regardless of preference between the two major political parties, does not give a shit about our bombs being used to kill brown people on the other side of the world. This really shouldn’t be news to anybody.

Unless I am horribly mistaken, this is what file hasing is for. You could use a speedy hash to compare the copies as an addendum to your script.

I would probably just pick something from the giant pile of back up software and enable any error checking as simpler solution though.

This article opens in a way that makes it sound like Nintendo’s lawyers are the arbitors of what is and is not illegal and is therefore in desperate need of an edit.

Either way, I’m sure it’s helpful to emulator makers to know what Nintendo is looking for when it decides to take action or not.

Uhh why you advocating for the internet to unalive itself?

Yeah, I don’t really like sitting behind them either. We just got a new car and while it isn’t that tall, the lights are just so fucking bright it’s unreal. I find it harder to see at night, at least beyond the zone of my headlights, because it’s so bright my eyes don’t adjust as much. In addition every time hit a bump or crest a hill people act like I’m high-beaming them. I get the frustration dude, but they’re already over-adjusted down, what else am I supposed to do?

Yeah, someone should tell the guy at the bar checking IDs to piss off too. And what’s with these fucks at the pharmacy demanding to see my medical license. They shouldn’t be hassling me because someone else might be writing illegal scripts.

Temporarily. Ultimately if you can’t get houses adequately insured, banks won’t lend money to invest in properties in areas prone to fires. Once they burn, they won’t be rebuilt.

First souce link goes to an unsourced pdf of an anti nuclear pamphlet.

Embarassingly uncredible.

Who could have ever guessed that programming people for dehumanization of their enemies and mass murder wouldn’t mesh well with ideological extemism?

Fair enough. Not temps then.

It would not surprise me in the least to find out a big heatmonster like those X3D chips will hit throttling temps at idle if the CPU fans stop spinning. Probably within seconds of booting. Can you check the actual clock speeds of the cores at idle/load? See if you’re geting anywhere close to your 5.whatever ghz.

Focus looks sharp.

Tracking looks great, only slight trailing on the smallest/faintest stars.

That 12? bladed aperature produced some gnarly diffraction spikes. I like it.

Looks like maybe there was a wisp of cloud over some of the frames? Hard to tell—outdoors on mobile atm.

Either way, looks great. Everything it’s supposed to be and nothing it isn’t. Definitely ready to move on to some slightly tougher targets if you wanted.

I mostly stay home and don’t go outside home except for work, so please recommend something inside my comfort zone

reads as:

please tell me how to find the fulfillment I’m missing without growing or changing

To which the only reasonable response is: No.

Make something. Electronic gizmos. Wooden thingamabobs. Textile whosawhatits. Repair lawnmowers. Whatever speaks to you. Find other people who do it already, learn from them.

Better still, make a better world—find a local civic group and volunteer. Put up animal boxes. Walk dogs at the shelter. Pick up garbage. Engage with vulnerable kids. Feed the needy.

What you’re feeling is far from novel or singular. I have no idea how we as a society have managed to forget how to deal with it. It is the very reason anyone does any of those things.

This one, any mention of temps is conspicuously absent. OP should check them immediately.
