  • Since Trump is obviously willing to do just about anything to avoid paying for his crimes, I wonder if there comes a point where it makes sense for Biden or Harris to just offer him a pardon (knowing it only covers federal crimes) if he’ll just drop out of the race.

    Is it stupid and sad? Yes, yes it is. But I’d rather Trump get pardoned for some of his crimes than somehow get elected president again. I’d say that’s a small price to pay.




  • (And for the record, it’s sad that voters are holding Biden to a much higher standard than Trump. But here we are.)

    Except that’s been the whole point of this exercise from day one!

    The voters on the right have proven that they have NO standards that a candidate needs to live up to, while the voters on the left are the ones who are screaming “we need to have high standards for the people who are going to run the country”

    Until recently, while the left would have preferred an even better candidate, Biden at least just barely fell above the seemingly minimum bar, especially when compared against Trump. But now Biden seems to have fallen right to the cusp of where the voters who still have standards are wondering if he’s fallen below them, and if there’s might be a better option, both from the standpoint of meeting their standards, and the standpoint of actually being able to win against Trump, who MUST lose for our nation to avoid disaster.

    Y’all must be doing something wrong because HW raid has been hot garbage for at least 20years. I’ve been using software raid (mdadm, ZFS) since before 2000 and have never had a problem that could be attributed to the software raid itself, while I’ve had all kinds of horrible things go wrong with HW raid. And that holds true not just at home but professionally with enterprise level systems as a SysAdmin.

    With the exception of the (now rare) bare metal windows server, or the most basic boot drive mirroring for VMware (with important datastores on NAS/SAN which are using software raid underneath, with at most some limited HW assisted accelerators) , hardly anyone has trusted hardware raid for decades.









  • Stevie Ray Vaughan.

    Sure, there are plenty of musicians who had a bigger impact on music as a whole, but NOBODY I’ve ever seen was more in tune with the universe than Stevie when he was playing.

    As far as I can tell, he didn’t actually play the guitar. He just acted as a conduit to channel music directly from the universe through a guitar. I don’t think he ever once had to pause and consider what to play next when he was improvising, it just flowed out of him non-stop.

    He had already started getting even better, having finally gotten sober, and it kills my soul every time I think about what else he could’ve given us had he not gotten on that helicopter.
