Everytime I look at the inner workings of current day America I am both amazed and amused just a little bit more.
Imagine telling your political rival that she is a Russian asset ( and then the Republican fubar story bending ) only to see your political rival hit over 2% in the DNC approved polls so you get see her be on the debate.
I might be REALLY late to draw that conclusion but it took a while for me to figure out how the DNC polling actually works.
But I am probably boring you all to death with stuff like this, I just had to laugh when I found out how the boomerang effect actually worked in this :)Thursday, 31-Oct-19 13:46:27 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@mrmattimation Dammit Matt, if you are about to say something so ridiculously funny warn me first. Now I have to clean the splatter damage from my monitor.
Next thing you are going to tell me that Hillary was not a political rival to Obama back in 2008 either ( 128 delegates too short, you know what I am talking about )
But I know what is wrong here. Go look up the definition of the word 'Rival' and then get back to me.

@drinkingpony Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were literally running against each other you weak-chinned gimp, I don’t know why you think you, as a non-American, are the authority on American politics because you read a copy of the NY Post on reddit two years ago, especially when you keep spouting blatantly untrue bullgrape that plays straight into alt-right gaslighting strategies. Not only are Clinton and Gabbard not even in the same race, if they were Gabbard STILL would be polling below 5%, I hate Hillary Clinton but even I’m not blind and stupid enough to think that Clinton and Gabbard are ANYWHERE in the same league. At least Bernie Sanders was liked by more than two people, Gabbard is a god damn joke over here, she is not ahead or even competing in ANY state primary contest, she’s even losing in her own home state, she’s the kind of brain dead moron who’s asking wage slaves to talk to their managers because her turkey wasn’t cut exactly one eight of an inch at the deli.

@mrmattimation If Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were running against eachother that makes them rivals. If someone in your 'group' calls you out for doing or being bad, then you are rivals too.
Also, I keep spouting blatantly untrue bullgrape ? Have you ever looked into a mirror ? Also I hope Reddit dies since it is nothing but a circlejerk.
Gaslighting not a tool of the alt-right. It is being employed as a tool by all political sides.
You are blind if you do not see the relevance of being called a something by a super ( Oh but she is not running, so it is ohkay *eyeroll* )
I do not care if she does not stand a chance, I find it hilarious that someone can make a comeback from the brink of falling off the radar by a FUBAR by HRC.
I am afraid I know nothing about her Turkey though. Only thing I know about Turkey is a recent vote in the House of Representatives about acknowledging a genocide. But I would be surprised if Tulsi knows anything about that, even though that is her job.Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

If Gabbard is intent on wasting her time fighting somebody who isn’t even on the ballot, that’s her choice, though. Doesn’t change the fact that she will never be President.

@mrmattimation Didn't they say the same thing about the current president ?
https://youtu.be/XvgnOqcCYCM?t=83
Aging like milk that one is.
But to adres what you said. It is not the fact that she is fighting someone who isn't on the ballot, It is that the other party picked a fight and lost in the most spectacular way. I hope you like seeing her on the debate stage ( even if she might not get any microphone time ). Remember who you have to thank for that, someone who has been an insider for YEARS.

Today I had a "F you" moment with a colleague and his developed domain specific modeling language. In my opinion it's a programming language in disguise and not a purely descriptive language. I showed him a flaw at one point but he argued vehemently that the flaw can be ignored. But in the editor the usage was allowed as well as in the documentation (that feature that caused the flaw was only mentioned in passing, and the documentation as a whole is poorly managed). After my vacation I will insist on switching to another project.

Could you imagine living in a world where people live that call themselves 'journalists', but actually only really write hate-bait and click-bait articles. Then one day upper management investigates why the name of the publication is worth grape-all and gets rid of some people that were destructive towards the name of the publication.
Actually, scrap that. Imagine a world where people would call you bad names for summing it up like that.

@adiwan How terrible is it that I can see the compression blocks of a 720P source on a 1440P screen ?
Now that might sound impressive, but it's really not, If you translate it back to megapixels you can even make a ballpark figure of howmuch it takes for your brain to register the raster.
Meaning 720P (0.92 MP) on a 1440P ( 3.68 MP ) screen, that is 4 repeats for every pixel. 360P ( 0.17 MP ) on a 4K display ( 8.26 MP ) that's gonna be just under 50. I could probably count that without a pause button.
At least I think I am applying the math correctly here.Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

I'm super angry right now. I want to play with my CNC router and it stopped working. To be precise the Z axis motor stopped working. It squeals and doesn't move. I checked the cable by swapping it with the X axis and it has the same symptoms. I contacted the seller and I demand a replacement.

@adiwan **patpat** the universe is sorry, bananaty things like this happen. It is probably just a dumb elecromotor that decided to burn out or something.
If that is true though, I would be angry that it happened at all. If it is a cheap electromotor then that would be dandy but annoying, but if it was an IO error somewhere that would drive me NUTS because that means it could happen again on that specific kit.Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -

Worst Halloween party ever, first off someone who was supposed to set some things up did not. Then the person responsible pretty much flipped out any time someone even looked at her, eventually walking away from the whole thing screaming.
I fear the whole 'This is why we can not have nice things' is getting to me. Mostly because this is not the first time that happened, and as direct result it is making me really pessimistic towards anything at work that is not strictly job-related.

A three-way race with Tulsi running as an independent probably is the precursor to a Democrat being elected President (see: 1992)
Friday, 25-Oct-19 06:23:37 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation But Ross Perrot ran on a platform closer to Bush's than Clinton's to the point where he endorced the republicans in 2000 and beyond. ( Also in 1992 he did not recieve any electoral college votes, but it was still considdered to have divided the voting public to a degree where Bush lost that year )
Tulsi Gabbard was the vice chair of the DNC and did Democratic 'things' before that. So instead of snooping off of the Republican votes ( like the 1992 Perot example ), she will snoop off the Democrat votes.
Remember when Trump had to sign an accord with the GOP that he would not run as independant ? Looks like "the worm has turned" to mangle a phraise.
So yeah, Tulsi, if you want to see Trump 2020 succeed. DO IT !Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

"Where do you even find your comics?"
I browse through what's new in the "Previews Preorders". Usually I buy my regulars but sometimes I click through other items.
Usually I read the synopsis/description but that time I blanked.
"Was it an addon so you would not have to pay shipping or something ?"
I always pay shipping. Every time it's about 5€ (DHL). I get the things I pre-ordered delivered every month or so to keep the shipping costs in check.Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
