The tariff stuff I think

$4/gal I think was like the highest daily average this year. But its still up ~$1/gal.

“It’s an enormous change of pace from how Iowa’s 20th House of Representatives district was feeling even two years ago, when it swung in favor of Donald Trump by a margin of 20 percentage points.”

Impressive loss by Republicans.

51.1 vs 48.9% in favor of Raman now only 63% counted tho.

It only seems ridiculous because you forgot some intermediates: 5.5 yards = 1 rod, 4 rods = 1 chain, 10 chain = 1 furlong, and 8 furlong = 1 mile. So just gotta remember 12, 3, 5.5, 4, 10, 8. Super simple.

I downloaded the config files for openvpn udp, tcp, and wireguard udp and for some reason actually used the tcp one instead of just having it around as a backup. AirVPN even says only to use it as a backup if UDP is causing issues on the config generator page. Entirely an unforced user error.

“Fuck the law 'cause we’re enough”

Specific the tcp config. Tcp adds an extra handshake for every transaction, so I was getting like 2.5 Mbps.

Not sure how steamOS is, but bazzite has a version that launches into what seems like steamOS, but you can switch to desktop mode and use it like a normal desktop if someone wanted to do something like print. Haven’t really tried either with a couch setup yet though, but hopefully that changes by this weekend.

Been using AirVPN. Just make sure you use the wireguard config, not the tcp openvpn (not sure about the udp openvpn, but people seem to recommend the wireguard option and I accidentally used the tcp openvpn config at first).

Seconding KeypassXC.

Speed bumps are a bad way to handle such issues. Just narrow the lanes and put dividers between lanes and then smaller vehicles are rewarded instead of larger. Granted, just throwing a speed bump every 1/4 mile is quicker and has the lower upfront cost. L

Calling threatening people’s lives as “does something stupid” seems pretty weird.

One is a “your* car should be impounded permanent and your drivers license revoked” and the other is prison time.

*doesn’t matter who actually has the title; the car the was being driven.

I won’t go and vote.

In a place like Texas, it can feel pointless to go in vote if R’s are going to sweep anyways. Good news like this can be used as a motivator to show people this election could be different.

People in line were talking about how busy it was (and how much busier it was yesterday). I asked someone who voted yesterday in a more suburb/rural area and they said there was practically no line there. So seems to match the optimism of this.
