Don’t forget (covered by “the rest of the military”) but still needs to be called out:

• P.O.W.s
• Medal of Honor recipients
• Gold Star families

My point was the timing. It wasn’t good for any other candidates but the incumbent.

Even if we did voted for Harris as VP, that was 4 years ago. Democracy is not just about a one-time voting, but having regular elections every 4 years. I may have voted for Harris as the VP as part of the ticket, but I should be allowed to change my mind 4 years later to vote for someone else.

One of my biggest gripes about our two-party system is the lack of competition within both parties. Every 4 years, we are presented with candidates from each respective party and then we’re asked choose the “lesser of the two evils”. It sucks.

I disagree a little bit. If Biden had dropped out earlier, we would have a proper Democratic primary season and to have some other politicians run and make a case for themselves. It feels like Kamala Harris was appointed to be the successor. Of course she would still need to win the general election, but I still feel uneasy that within the party, there was no democratic process.

Frack!

Define customer and define services rendered. I rendered 40 hours of services to my customer (aka my employer).

More exception rules means more loop holes. Now I can get my employer to pay me in tips instead of a regular salary.

Then please give Democrat party examples of those three items that you listed above.

• Police State: Thin blue line flag flyers all support Trump, they are all against Black Lives Matters, which is protesting about police brutality
• Making Free Speech Criminal: Republicans banning books in Texas because it doesn’t agree with their world view
• Private Interests over Public ones: Republicans wants to give school vouchers to religious schools and take away public school funding

Hey guys, I think we have the second amendment to prevent these type of people from taking over America…

Menalin-phobia :-)

Just saying… LOL

If I was him, I’d be a little cautious about taking Russian money. It’s not about damaging your own reputation. (its already damaged anyway). Its about being subject to Putin and Russian oligarchs and getting unalived if failing to do certain things.

A Pi4B 8GB is like $75. Add a power supply, case, heat sink, storage, and you’re at like $150.

Recently I purchased a used Dell USFF PC with a 4-core i5-4590S, 8 GB RAM for $50, shipped, from eBay. I mean it does use more power, but it is also more powerful than a RPi. I know, not an apples to apples comparison. But if you don’t need to do stuff with the GPIO, and your machine is just plugged in to the wall, and is just running apps in containers, then a USFF PC (e.g. STH’s project tiny mini micro machines) may be a much better option than a RPi.

I really don’t understand the RPi4’s price point right now. But glad the Pi Zero W exists, that makes so much more sense and at the right price point.
