Was such a good show. the moon poking up behind the mausoleum during their set made it cooler.

which is an anti-endorsement. If you didn't have issues with her before, you are now looking what terrible position she has.

He massively derailed Obamacare. Pulled back as many taxes as possible on the rich, shifting to lower and middle incomes. Closed 50 CPS schools, almost exclusively impacting minorities. Closed most of the cities mental health facility capacity. Where is this helpful voice? What not to do?

Remember Birth control wasn't actually tested on women until after 2000. They were "men with hormones". Research into women's health is horribly thin.

The big reason for self-checkout is to break or prevent unionizaion of employees. they are there so they can threaten there jobs. "do what we say or you will be replaced "

i work in the industry, they are correct. or employee count if has increased over the last decade. Mostly shoppers. the online order systems have drastically changed how people shop. ordering and pickup, or handing to instacart is big.

Most theft is employees. this is true for all retail. The "theft" for self checkouts is most machine errors. they often fail in a way customers dont know something wasn't scanned.

You are more likely to be the victim of those guns than the defender. Also, suicide rates jump up. Nothing good comes from possessing them.

its not a mistake, its a feature. Cops chearlead to get these camera contracts, partially because the warantless searching and tracking it enables. shocked it even logs them.

We dont like them here either. the editorial board is consistently the worst take and wrong.

eric d @perpetuallypissed.com · 16/09/2026

we can do both. They are ahead on some things like integrating that surveillance into day to day society. we are on some others. (ahead is wrong, we all lose)

I maintain that his running is itself a grift. He knows he cant win. Last time he was put up in a $$$ appartment on an upper floor of the Hancock.

i should say, I'm against how the massive Ai datacenters are being built. the tax breaks, and water right gifts need to stop. municipalities need to be able to set rules on them. there should be provisio s on being water, energy and carbon neutral. But being wrong on major points doesn't help.

000

I was involved with my company's move from a server room to a colo. their cooling & power reduction for us was about 50%. carbon footprint dropped by 30%. for my home, my synology nas vs backblaze, its an even bigger difference since they are on 100% renewable. so this isnt even close.

there is 0 privacy issue with datacenters, just the companies that use them. Nobody is seeing my encrypted backups. you cant mine them for data. ecologically, for general computing, they are more efficient then your computer at home.

eric d @perpetuallypissed.com · 13/09/2026

such terrible advice on backups. they need to be off site. unless you keep your backups at someone elses house, the cloud is the safest place. if you are going to be anti data center, at least know what you are raging about. DCs are generally more efficient than people backing up at home.

As someone past the midway point, I will agree.

eric d @perpetuallypissed.com · 12/09/2026

it wasn't enough. they said this, and at the same time helped anti-islamic groups. This laid the foundation for the current Christian white nationalism problem.

030

As someone who could drink by the time this happened, im supporting what the other person said. there was token unity. Islamophobia stared within days. Mosques were gett threats and defaced in the burbs around Chicago. friends were getting harassed that week. Threatened the next.

it would have matched the UFO they crashed into Soldiers field. We dont need the lakefront with more clutter.

000

Eww no. it had no place here. That lot needs to be reverted to park space, and when the leaches are kicked out of soldiers field, it can happen. they needto have that lot as an underground garage like MSI. Some really bad reviews of the museum so far. seems like chaos.

Claiming its rigged helps the right say that voting isnt secure. There is no proof. It also lets people say them not voting isnt the reason he won, they don't want to own their hand in him winning. It also prevents people coming to terms with half the country being horrible people.

im a senior software engineer, most devs are not good at their jobs. Apps are unstable for a reason, and its not just PMs and managers pushing. Most of the good devs are liberal arts, often with degrees in different fields.

Many of us have to use it for work. Giving them instructions, introducing guard rails and telling them exactly what you need and want are critical. "drop pleasantries", "date in ISO 8601", etc. You need to also save out your instructions (.md format)

4-star rides were awesome. they had something like a 5, 10, 33, 66 ( metric century) routes. they were on boulevards before i rode one, then they had their own paths. i only did two. 2011 ridewithgps.com/routes/667034 2012 ridewithgps.com/routes/1634999

Yes, it is in fact fake. You can have them, but its clear they are little more than a safety blanket for men who wish they were cowboys, but too clearly too cowardly to do anything when the need arises. How has it helped anything since ICE invaded. you are delusional.

They made themselves expensive enough that the cloud was cheaper.

eric d @perpetuallypissed.com · 01/09/2026

no, there have been people claiming it with no evidence. all investigations have found nothing.

eric d @perpetuallypissed.com · 01/09/2026

they have had mode.s from the start. its how they send to have tabulations done. this person is an idiot. they have been audited by actual experts frequently. nobody has ever found anything meaningful this is misinformation.

eric d @perpetuallypissed.com · 30/08/2026

did this to the street im on. went from a few slow cars an hour to a few a minute with constant speeding. its now impossible to cross for several blocks. town has terminal car-brain and thinks its a good idea.

ugh, knowing the cicada is paralized, and what is going to happen to it... ugh.

the issue is regular datacenters and huge ai-datacenters are not the same. People are not able to grasp this. There are 40+ datacenters in chicago. some are just a floor of an office building, and you would never know. they are critical to many companies that they can use them.

eric d @perpetuallypissed.com · 12/08/2026

I think what people are missing is that it doesn't need to be high compute or performance. Its about juristiction and keeping data out of the hands of people you don't want to have it, like investigators. This is a Sealand datacenter.

eric d @perpetuallypissed.com · 06/08/2026

Id love if they modernized and restarted Zion. They provide the baseline we need until battery capacity from wind / solar catch up. They are safer than coal or gas plants, and have less pollution.

Riding on western is suicide. I feel bad for them, western should be avoided until its redesigned to have protected lanes.

This infographic is BS. It undermines the people trying to actually fix it.

They will still vote Trump 2028. The Never-Trumpers fell in line after he got the presidency bother times.
