  • Right on. Glad to know Krugman and his friends in NY are ok. But him pointing at the numbers and saying "I'm right" really just comes across as ignorant. If you're on minimum wage and you can't escape it, then the times are worse than ever. His PhD students are probably in that income range and earn as much as they did 10 years ago, but he got his and probably doesn't even know hardship...

  • Is it me or is (desktop) Linux still a terrible experience?
  • My rule of thumb has always been, get something from a major manufacturer that is not bleeding edge, so I can be sure driver support is there. That has served me well, and I also usually buy devices that area certified for Linux. That being said, Ubuntu has really jumped the shark and I wouldn't be surprised if this is the result of someone messing up some snaps in some way.

  • These scientists want to put a massive 'sunshade' in orbit to help fight climate change
  • We are pursuing both options, and think that if a planetary sunshade is built, the initial phases of construction will be an Earth-launched architecture while the later phases will use space resources and in-space construction

    Great, so it's a 50 years plan then. Too bad we can't do anything right now I guess.

    A Political Candidate Beheaded a Satanic Temple Statue. Now He Faces Charges.
  • I'm actually surprised that the satanic temple isn't pushing for him to be charged with some kind of hate crime. Pretty sure if so decapitated a statue of Jesus it wouldn't just be destruction of property?
