Spent a lot of my youth on the family ranch in the foothills of the Sierra Madre. Grass fed beef, they, the cows, had pretty idyllic lives up until the end there. I have never had a problem eating a good steak. I certainly don't have a problem with someone killing and eating a deer. We've decimated the apex predators that should be culling the wild deer herds anyway.

  • A lot of dumb asses voted for the orange asshole because they wanted nothing to do with the status quo. These are low information voters, just knowing in their bones that something has to change. They didn't see the corruption, civil rights violations, human rights violations, disregard of the Constitution, and so on, as a deal breaker. Just the price of gas. You can call them dummies who can't see past their wallet, and I have, but the core problem, that the status quo isn't cutting it, isn't wrong.

    Dems have a chance here to show they are a positive, dynamic force for change. Big Issue change. Like healthcare, just to point out one of the big ones. The optics of Schumer and Jefferies leading again will be like driving that bus of optimism straight off a fucking cliff.

    Being small minded dummies hasn't stopped the Dems before from pushing unpopular candidates or policies, so I don't have a lot of hope. I'm just trying to hold onto the warm comforting glow of Wednesday morning's election results for as long as I can.

    I can't believe I've had an original idea in wanting a face system monitor. The face would change, skin color, eye size, ear flapping, mouth screaming, whatever, and the user could configure it how they wanted. Then I could get a quick system overview just by looking at the face in the corner of my screen. I'd code it up myself, but for 2 reasons. I think I'd tire of it quickly, as badly as I want to see it. I don't even know where to start with coding anything more than some bash scripting.

     

    The American Prospect reported that several Democrats in closely contested districts would be voting for the ICE appropriation. “They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement,” an unnamed source told the liberal magazine. “They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

     

    I've never had to organize much in the way of videos/photos, until now. I'm going on a trip for a month or two and want to organize the pictures and videos I will be taking. I'm interested in datestamps and tags more than anything. Does anyone have a workflow that works for them? Any apps that make this easier that I haven't heard of?

    EDIT: I'm wondering about things like, downloading media from my camera and having something sort it all in a schema of my choosing. Maybe other things that I don't know enough to even wonder. Or, maybe there is no there there.

     

    Buddy of mine sent me what he describes as a disturbing video from his hometown. It's a threads link. I generally use yt-dlp or just straight mpv from the CLI and most things work. I can't see this, on my computer, or my crap phone. Does anyone know a trick or something for accessing this content. No I won't make a threads account. Here's the link, for what it's worth:
