Term limits for legislative bodies is, and always has been, a dumb idea.

You need a constitutional amendment to impose age limits on offices.

This is the electorate’s fault; the electorate needs to fix it.

This post is more annoying than any of the type you’ve listed.

Why is holding on to this job important if everything about it sucks?

Seems like this comment could be asked of basically any post on Lemmy that even tangentially references politics, economics, or tech.

people from the North don’t understand how big mosquitoes can get in the swamp

I take it you’ve never seen a backwoods mosquito from the Boundary Waters or, god help me, Alaska.

Often these countries were left leaning in the past until America installed a right-wing government

Ahh, we’re lying again.

Custard’s last stand

Doubtlessly took place in a cath lab.

It’s just a technological step forward. Thread was designed from the ground up as an IPv6 protocol. Honestly, this kind of move is coming later than would have been ideal, given the massive growth in IoT devices.

Most of us don’t ever make enough money to travel this country’s hard-to-imagine-how-big-it-actually-is vastness, or even enough to leave our hometowns for longer than a couple days before financial woes start nipping at the mind, if not worse.

This is completely contradicted by the data:

“The average American has visited 16 states besides the one where they currently live, a new YouGov survey finds. Older Americans are likelier to have visited more states than younger Americans. 32% of Americans 65 or older say they’ve visited at least 30 states [. . .]” link

I’d totally get that for polling people outside of North America. It’s just shocking to see it from people who have probably been to NYC or at least another major metro area – which would instantly falsify a 30% number for NYC.

WTH, Americans think that 30% of the country lives in NYC?

You don’t need to match; you need not to clash. A blue seersucker would look great with this as long as the blue in the seersucker doesn’t clash with the blue of the shorts (it probably won’t).

decent NUCs are much pricier than old discarded hardware

This can be true for some, but for a lot of labbers the increased energy cost of enterprise hardware will exceed the cost difference of the NUC over the expected life of the equipment. That doesn’t mean it’s an obvious choice to go the other way; it’s just something you should consider.

Tiny little landmass filled to the brim with vainglorious people.

All the downsides of Comancho with absolutely none of the redeming qualities.

Living there and also maps existing.

This is real 5’11" energy bud.

I mean, yeah. Russia has been a Chinese vassal state since Covid.

Second smallest continent, behind even Antarctica.

It’s tiny my dude.

Europe’s understanding of the geography outside its tiny landmass is utterly laughable.

There’s anywhere from 100-400MM USD distributed for election security and infrastructure provided by the federal government to states on a yearly basis. The path forward would likely to be barring distribution of such funds for any state which holds RCV elections.
