Makes sense. Does the state still go after the insurer?

Why isn’t the ship’s insurer paying for the bridge repair?

Doesn’t Florida block homesteads from being grabbed by creditors in bankruptcy proceedings?

The team has given us a series of neolibs since 1976.

I’ll probably pull the lever for Biden, but I don’t begrudge anyone who goes for a third option or doesn’t vote.

If the Dems actually believed Trump were a threat to democracy, and that fundamental liberties would be lost, they wouldn’t be running a man clearly in decline with a running mate who has zero constituency and an even lower approval rating.

The DNC and web scolds don’t get to bitch about third-party voters, when they obviously assessed the situation and thought, “This is fine.”

If the Dems can’t be arsed to respond seriously to Trump, the rest of us are under no obligation to fix their wagon.

Yeah, it’s nice that she did some good stuff decades ago, but her immediate legacy is dog shit.

This is a knowable thing that a bunch of us have personally witnessed since ‘76. Dems at the height of their power have not raced to deliver a full tranche of left legislation. Instead, they game to “not go too far,” and the GOP retakes because voters’ lives were not radically improved, and the difference between the parties isn’t particularly visible, beyond a few social issues.

That was very helpful, thanks!

Only problem I have left is getting NGINX Reverse Proxy Manager set up, so that I can offer Overseerr webpage. The Let’s Encrypt cert generator keeps throwing an internal error at the last step. Something is preventing LE from reaching my server, and I’m too clueless to solve at this point.

I may have an outdated sense of what a potlatch was. I was using the term in the sense of destroying value, per this kind of definition:

“A potlatch involves giving away or destroying wealth or valuable items in order to demonstrate a leader’s wealth and power. “

This stuck with me: Years ago, someone on Reddit described their middle school in the ‘70s having to have an assembly to stop a potlatch/arms race between kids stacking Izod/Lacoste shirts. There were well-off kids wearing three or more stacked Lacoste shirts every day, and poorer kids wearing cheap generic polo shirts under real alligator shirts to try to keep up.

It was the spirit of Homer Davenport. Rejoice and have another slice of marionberry pie.

I don’t see as nearly as many used ThinkCentre Tinys for sale with post 7th gen chips. I wonder if this is why.

QuickSync is available on earlier gen machines. I have 7th gen with it.

That was the joke, but I trust it’s much improved by the explication.

It’s what a manchild thinks is sci-fi.

Def my fave of that series too.

Hey, thanks so much for following up! I was very happy to stumble into good fortune here :-)

Thank you!

Oh, I got lucky then. I thought it was only 8th gen onward, based on another user’s comment. Is there a name for the gpu tech, so I can look it up?
