there’s no minimum intelligence to run for or hold elected public offices, either.

no. you didn’t miss anything.

wisconsin gonna wisconsin. voted in a diaper, twice, too. i wish i could afford to leave this state.

nearly all the single-issue voters on the right vote in lock-step unison, and have for decades.

democrats and progressives seem to just toss in the towel if they aren’t getting everything they want, right now.

it takes time to build something great, it takes but a moment to destroy it all. welcome to total destruction.

pardon is a power granted by the constitution.

states are, for the most part, in control of their own election process.

biden can’t do a thing about either. and anything he does on his own, such as via executive order, will just be undone on dictator day.

new rhino tennogen skin?

this (the study) is about the crystal balls, not the magic wand.

the leopard is gonna be feasting.

if the franchise was disney’s, it already would have been done, and it wouldn’t have taken til 2021 to get it on stage in the first place, either.

even when the cable company put out a really light weight, pick your own channels (10) package at a lower price… two hours on the phone getting it sorted out, my bill went down a whole five bucks a month. i never watched the channels i no longer got, so five bucks saved was five bucks.

the savings was completely negated (and then some) two months later by a rate hike in the ‘below the line’ bullshit fees and surcharges–which by themselves is now about double the final monthly cost of ‘basic cable’ 25 years ago (back then, the plain ‘basic cable’ did include a few actual and popular cable channels, too. those were pulled off that about 15 years ago).

i am no longer a cable tv subscriber. i no longer watch local tv channels, either. as they can’t be received by antenna where i live.

yup. either works. also clicking a second time puts the text input cursor at the site of the last click. click fast enough for a ‘double click’ will select the word or whatever windows thinks is a ‘word’ nearest to the double click.

also F6 or CTRL-L will put the focus up there without having to click. saving the mouse from making the (potentially long) journey there. then END or RIGHT puts the mouse at the end of the address. a programmable keyboard or utility, or autohotkey, could be used to make a new custom shortcut that hits those two keys with one keypress or alternate mouse button click.

the reason for the default behaviour is because the most common (and overwhelmingly so) things people do when they click or give focus to the urlbar is either copy its contents to the clipboard, or replace it entirely by pasting or immediately typing. these things require the entire url address to be selected upon focus.

If there were as many monkeys as there are atoms in the observable universe typing extremely fast for trillions of times the life of the universe, the probability of the monkeys replicating even a single page of Shakespeare is unfathomably small.

the last old systems (vista, early 7 era hardware) i setup were with peppermint for desktops, and dietpi (native pc build) for ‘server’ type stuff (pihole and similar).

that’s probably it. picture was taken ‘upside down’ and that orientation is embedded in the file.

even on 50mbit internets it was noticeable in the browser (displayed correctly), as the picture painted on-screen bottom-first.

multiplan: “was i nothing to you?”

the one remaining screw, a long zip-tie, some electrical tape, and two new cuss words later…
