Holy shit, this guy has the same name as the Elon Musk who’s gotten billions in government contracts with NASA.

What are the odds? Anyway, I have an idea where we could start cutting costs. It’s only temporary while we make America great again. Again.

For the good of the entire fucking world, Jill Stein should go away. Go back to practicing medicine, where you’re usually limited to only killing one person at a time.

There’s no excuse for the Democrats’ support for Israel’s genocidal wars, and Biden is complicit in his unwavering material (materiel? Both? Both.) support that allows them to continue doing it. I hate that if I don’t vote for the enabling-genocide party, I’ll get the enabling-genocide-but-also-women-are-things-and-LGBTQ-people-shouldn’t-exist party.

So instead her goal is to ensure the election of Donald Trump and his merry band of eschatological fetishists, who’ll not only do the same thing because their literal goal is to bring about the apocalypse, but also bring back all his very smart domestic policies and hand the government over to the Project 2025 fanatics to turn the United States into Gilead. Brilliant. Real big-picture thinking there, doctor.

I have nearly 1500 hours played in Civ V. Never completed a single Civ VI game. Hoping they rediscover whatever it was that made 5 so great!

I run Rocky Linux 9 on an HPC environment for the package stability and 10 years of support. I also prefer the Red Hat-esque management ecosystem (ie, Foreman) to the others I’ve tried (but it still leaves a lot to be desired).

I am no fan of Red Hat’s corporate shenanigans though, and if it weren’t for the associated tech debt, I might consider switching to Debian or Ubuntu. I’ve run both at previous jobs, but the support lifecycle has come back to haunt us every time.

Also, use Windows 10 LTSC. You can download an eval copy from Microsoft and turn it into the full version by following the instructions here to change the installed SKUs: https://github.com/victorlish/Convert_to_Windows_10_LTSC. Then use the KMS scripts above to activate it.

Ignore the FUD about “LTSC is designed for specialty purpose machines like medical devices, retail kiosks, blah blah blah.” It is what Windows 10 should have been: no bloatware, no ads, no MS Store (you can add it back if you want). No forced upgrades. I’ve used it as my daily driver since Windows 7 went EOL, and I’ll never use a “normal” version of Windows again.

So you’re saying the front fell off because a wave hit it?

What about the label for my father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate?

So you can read this dipshit’s idiot writing without giving the New York Times any money for enabling him.

The paradox recalls 2016, when many Democrats were not unhappy when Trump won the Republican nomination

So we’re in for a repeat of 2016 then?

The United States government has been pissing and moaning about Iran my entire life. They’ve been “two years away from the bomb” for literally forty years now.

I’m not saying that the United States wouldn’t invade Iran—they are certainly stupid enough—but this saber rattling is nothing new. Iran happens to be a particularly convenient bogeyman for the powers that be to propagandize their citizenry.

Never have I ever strangled my roommate, poisoned my advisor for suggesting I go into a different branch of physics, and created a weapon that deletes entire metropolitan areas.

Two out of three of those, **at most.

Let me preface this by saying I’ve worked in both academia and private enterprise.

I would say it’s more proof that the idea of academia as an “ivory tower” that holds itself to a higher standard than business and government is utterly delusional. Academia is subject to the same desire for power, money, and prestige because it’s run by people, and people with too much ambition and not enough integrity tend to rise to the top because they simply do not care about ethics. It’s the same everywhere; higher education is no different than the business world.

Except that the saying, “those who can’t do, teach; those who can’t teach become college professors” is absolutely true without exception and I will fight anyone who disagrees.

Give the guy a break! At least his students aren’t poisoning each other or anything…

Yes, it is possible, but it requires that you use a Monterey (or earlier) USB installer. A Ventura USB install won’t work; Apple explicitly “fixed” this workaround in Ventura.

Follow the instructions here: https://gist.github.com/henrik242/65d26a7deca30bdb9828e183809690bd

Essentially, what you’re doing here is blocking the machine from ever connecting to the Apple MDM servers. Once you’ve completed the Monterey installation it is safe to upgrade to Ventura.

Guess DO saved enough cash from layoffs and offshoring developers to hoover up another company. Nice to see!
