Did the US just end all future elections from 2024 "immediately afterwards"?

Are all senate and house congressmen/women of only just one single party and no other, currently elected into congress right now?

Did congress also just cease to exist "immediately afterwards"?

Seriously, comparisons like this are really just completely something of delusion and comparing the US in 2025 to Nazi Germany in 1933 is a tired stretch worthy of just dismissing altogether to be honest.

Come on.

I think their point is the current GOP is behaving like they're members of a dictatorship in that they won't speak out or against their dear leader and allow him to easily break laws daily which they would have impeached Biden for in an instant, and have completely given up their job of governing in service to the leader.

Sure the USA is still a two party system right now, but unless something completely drastic happens between now and four years from now, I fully expect Trump to say "the Constitution says a POTUS can only serve two consecutive terms", and he won't leave office and the GOP will be completely fine with that.

I highly recommend Musicbrainz Picard: https://picard.musicbrainz.org/

It will match against the Musicbrainz database and will acoustically ID your files, so the tags can be completely wrong and it can ID the song from it's sound fingerprint. Just dump folders of albums into the client, it will group and sort things and ID them. It works great.

Prepaid sounds great unless you ever want roaming, it’s either straight up not possible or priced in a way that makes it impractical.

I'm looking to switch to Visible here soon after being on Google Fi for many years. Just looks like a cheaper rebranded Verizon to me, and has all the features I would need for a cheap price.

Good book. Have the hardcover on my bookshelf. Not a fan the cover art design though.

Article by Mary Henry. I was shocked to see how much more the extended support (per hour) cost is for Kubernetes on AWS.

Haven't had that situation myself on AWS yet, but ran into it a few times on Azure

I can't remember to have paid extra on Azure though, but maybe we did. Certainly not 6x the price though.

PS: not sure why it got flagged the first time, but I think because I used a different title. Sorry.

We just got emails yesterday about the EKS price increase. It's another reason we're trying to move the main app to the vendors SaaS because I don't have enough time and resources to be a fulltime k8s admin. The ecosystem moves way too fast and upgrades/deprecation happens way too quickly to keep up and to have time test / plan / rollout proper upgrades without breaking our critical production workloads.

Anyone have anything above speculation on what is the potential reasoning here?

According to WaPo:

> a probe that will look at least in part at whether the crew left the port knowing the vessel had serious systems problems, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

They want permission to commercialise my content "for purposes of providing the Services to" me?

First time I hear such requirement

res0nat0r · 2 years ago

This verbiage is standard for almost all internet/service providers, it's language to allow them to display your content on their behalf.

reasonable effort - meaning if their changes meaningfully impact my usage, negatively, it would be unreasonable to ask me to upgrade.

sounds good.

this is not financial advice and ianal.

Isn't this just lawyer speak for "we update our model a lot, and we've never signed off on saying we're going to support every previous release we've ever published, and may turn them off at any time, don't complain about it when we do."

Why would I lose all data on these SSDs when I initiate a power off of the VM on console, then?

I believe local SSDs are definitely attached to the host. They are just not exposed via NVMe ZNS hence the performance hit.

Your EC2 instance with instance-store storage when stopped can be launched on any other random host in the AZ when you power it back on. Since your rootdisk is an EBS volume attached across the network, so when you start your instance back up you're going to be launched likely somewhere else with an empty slot, and empty local-storage. This is why there is always a disclaimer that this local storage is ephemeral and don't count on it being around long-term.

res0nat0r · 2 years ago

Frontline did a whole episode about this about four years ago. Sure the plastic container holding your strawberries has a recycling symbol on it with a number 3 in the middle, but there may be only one facility in the entire state or region who can process that type of material. Since most can’t, it goes in the trash.
