    My dream would be that they cut the margins so thin in trying to win every seat in Texas that, once the tariffs / Medicaid / Epstein file shit all sets in, they end up losing 5-10 seats instead of gaining 5.  Probably won't happen, but I think they're taking all the safe seats they have for granted.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they let an LLM redraw the maps, so anything is possible.

    I don't get why you don't just destroy all the files unless there are some copies backed up somewhere that the feds can't get their hands on. 

    If there are secure, off-site backups (this should be the case for any government files), I don't think anybody should have access to alter a backup at the file level.  If it was me, I would setup multiple DR sites for archives and the only way to remove data would be to burn the entire backup. I'm hardly an expert, but this is why I've been thinking they can't just take Trump out of the docs. 

  3. Ogles is the guy who proposed an amendment for a 3rd Trump term a few days after inauguration.  He also looks like an ai drawing of Zapp Brannigan. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    I still cannot wrap my head around How to Train Your Dragon getting a live action remake. Zero interest in seeing that. Evidently I’m in the minority. 

    I felt the same way before I took my kids to see it.  It was terrific, considerably better than any of the Disney live action remakes I have seen.

  5. Oh good, I'm glad Gil thought it was important to pay his respects and remind everyone that he has the all-time shittiest, most uncultured take on anything ever.

  6. If it's a new service, why tf don't they send a tech out so that you at least have someone there to troubleshoot it rather than going back and forth with their tier 1 support. The tech may not be especially savvy, but he can see that you have multiple devices, hardwired and bypassing the router that gets abysmal speeds using standard tests. 

    Have you ever done a tracert?  I would run a tracert to ookla, Google DNS, a cdn, whatever you can think of and see where it goes. Frontier techs are probably just running a connectivity test from their fiber distribution point/hub directly to your modem. Yeah, no shit it works fine, there is nothing between here and there.  Your other tests are actually making multiple hops to reach other networks, and something's slowing it down along the way. You may need to demonstrate that concept to them until they get someone to help you that understands.  

    Do all the dumbass shit they suggest though, eventually they will hit the end of their script and escalate.

  7. I'll preface this by saying that my love of outrageously bad movies is alarming to many, especially my wife.

    Mamoa's character work in Fast X is just phenomenal.  He takes the unhinged villain role to a totally new place, and it's fantastic.

    I haven't read this thread to avoid spoilers. I really liked Season 1.
    Episode 1 and 2 of this season have bored me to tears. Is there any reason to keep watching?

    I made it through 4 episodes, holy shit what a nosedive. Did ChatGPT write this script during the strike?

  9. It will be a disgrace many times over, that much I know. My favorite sporting event will likely be ruined by some combination of shameful foreign diplomatic antics, human rights violations, and blatant unprecedented corruption. It's too infuriating to even try and imagine the ways it will be debased.
