Funny, one of you sees it from the perspective of someone who thinks "to those" is other people not themselves and the other does the opposite.

What kind of symptoms? I have insane stomach issues since early 2021 that only this year started to largely subside.

There's a critical mass of Trump Derangement Syndrome in SV, as this site exemplifies almost daily. The amount of vitriol and hatred spewed here is not healthy, nor are those who spew it. It kills rational debate, nuance and leads to foolish choices like someone cutting off their nose to spite their face as the old saying goes.

Frankly it's how they insist themselves onto their potential users. When I toyed around with Edge a year or two ago, just to get the t-shirt, it was impossible to set a custom home page for first-open instead of MSN crap. New tabs could be customized, but not the initial page. Apparently they fixed it since, but I still don't see Edge as a serious browser, just another rent seeking marketing tool.

Most likely the first Republican female president will be a former Democrat.

Who ultimately pays the tariffs is missing the forest for the trees, their primary function is to tax, and taxation virtually always reduces spending. Don't want to pay tariffs? Buy domestic. Tariffs are the single reason (or one of very few) that the US isn't flooded with BYD electric cars from China. China's dirt cheap labor could decimate the US auto industry, but for tariffs and trade regulation, but I repeat myself.

There's a strange pattern of die hard obstinence, even in the face of basic and common facts that we as as society until fairly recently all agreed upon. The reason is that works, if you admit fault/guilt then the usual consequences follow. If they remain obstinate, there's a chance they can project their crime on someone else which doesn't really work except it does retain for them a certain level of public support, from those who "see" what they want to see.

It's devastating society.

One side is understandably on edge but nothing DOGE has been doing is unexpected, except in the sense that it's actually happening or seems to be happening. It went through the whole political process's standard change control mechanism, in other words the current Administration literally campaigned on it and received a mandate via both the EC and popular vote.

How does that in any way answer the question of how Jan 6 was supposedly a coup?

Also there were massive problems with Georgia's election process in 2020, nobody denies that today so why should we keep using the least charitable interpetation possible of Trump's words?

In the last couple years I've had to overhaul my diet due to sudden onset of all kinds of food allergies since COVID. I used to be chronically tired especially in the afternoons. I now eat very little sugar and no corn syrup/HFCS at all and I've made two interesting observations: My cravings for sweets are virtually zero and my energy levels are stable all day.

There are exceptions but for the most part I'm almost never tired during the day anymore unless I worked out a lot. My energy isn't exactly bouncing me off any walls but it's a noticable improvement.

Those are still quite livable wages, I'm not seeing tremendous wealth but I'm not seeing any exploitation either. I imagine in fifty years some people will be getting paid minimum wage accomplishing basically the same output that a masters degree + 250k+ salary is pulling in now, it all depends on the technology in the tools.

<ConspiracyTheory> Intel is blocking undervolting because, even though it can improve temperatures and increase clock speeds, it can cause the ME and other black box "features" to stop functioning. Someone doesn't want that. </ConspiracyTheory>
