Dear higher power:
Please cause this guy to profoundly lose the election so there is absolutely no further attention given and the media networks can finally lay off the stories because all issues have become moot.

There are only a few counties in the world that draw the smartest and most accomplished from the rest of the world. The USA is pretty high on that list. This gives the USA an unfair advantage worldwide in several ways:
US schools and businesses get to pick from the best and brightest worldwide, promoting an atmosphere of high performance STEM jobs.
US replaces lost high education and high IQ population, since there is a negative correlation between education level and reproduction.
Finally, if you think in terms of winners vs losers, which I feel MAGAs do these days,, other countries lose their best and brightest, making them less competitive to the USA.
And of course don't forget that the vast majority of Americans come from families that immigrated, and few would argue that they themselves should be sent back "to where they came from".
No matter how you look at it, immigration is extremely advantageous to the USA if handled properly and an enviable position that many other countries wish they could be in.
It’s important to realize that in most democracies this isn’t a bug, it’s a feature of the system. The founders of these systems wanted to ensure that major decisions were deliberated, not rushed into, and that there wasn’t a lot of room for an executive power to make snap choices that would determine the future of the nation.
Thinking way down the road
Before shrugging and moving on - ask yourself if you support any smaller private media companies in any way at all - enabling them to bring you news with less bias, less agenda, and more fact checking.
It could be by viewing their ads with your ad blocker off, paying a subscription, or donating.
If you are unwilling to support any such media company in any way, I don't think a complaint that media is all consolidated and doesn't have your interests at heart is particularly compelling.
Isn't Costco known for essentially talking very little profits on goods and earning much/most of their profit through the $65 membership fee?
Some people would do the math and decide if that's worth it for them or not.
Doesn't seem like exploitation, just don't shop there if it's not worth it.
- The media covers whatever gets them paid.
- Trump figured out how to hack the media cycle. When the news gets spicy, he just makes even spicier news. (Real life "one simple trick!")
- Everyone is so fatigued by the endless chaos that they start to tune it out.
- The eye of sauron shifts and nobody cares about January 6 anymore, because that mofo is an actual contender to be elected yet again. That alone is more palpably terrifying news.
I hate that my first thought is insurance will use this as a way to avoid paying out

I sure hope there is some mechanism to compensate content creators because without traffic, there will be no new articles.
Pretty sure I'm having heat creep up the Bowden tube, as it's getting jammed a few cm back from the hot end and then can't push the filament any more. When I get it out there's a little molten bulb at the filament.
In this fail, I think it jammed as usual and the extruder found a way to keep going.
I tried turning down the hot end from 215 to 200 and it's still failing. My cooling fan is running at 100%.
This is the third time I've had this print fail at about this layer, around 1 hour into what will be a 26 hour print.
Any ideas?

This bike has a 10ah battery in the seat post and a 7 gear derailleur. Top speed is limited to 25km but I think it can be reprogrammed to remove the limit.

A long time ago his clan beat out some other clans so that makes him king.
I'm pretty sure anyone is welcome to challenge his assertion of authority at any time by the same means.
