  • A quick search online shows a lot of people struggle flash the BIOS on the B350, I never really put much thought into it while buying parts in the past but I suppose a lack of button would lead to shenanigans like this.

    I like to shop around for a good MB especially because a good bus speed is nice and a good number of slots leaves room to upgrade.


  • In many places local elections are not partisan, from Mayors and School Boards to Stream Authorities and Sheriffs. There are rarely any barriers to be on the ballot in small towns, such is the case with most state and federal ballots requiring an established party to endorse you or to gain a butload of signatures on a petition. If they did require a party endorsement in the middle of buttfuck town nowhere county then it’s questionable if people would even qualify to run for office at all.

    NYC is quite large, though, so that logic doesn’t apply to them.






  • Technically his total wealth has declined to about $342 Bn, and technically that is only if he sold off all of his assets namely his Tesla stocks, at which point it would instantly become less than $342 Bn due to the market’s fast acting supply/demand price setting.

    At any given time you should assume Musk has less than $30 Bn liquidity, which is still a fucking lot.

    Also, he bought Twitter so you can say he spent a lot more than $300 to elect Trump. $300 was just his campaign contributions.

    There are some limitations to the Filibuster:

    • things that don’t require a senate vote don’t get a filibuster
    • confirmation hearings for secretaries and judges don’t get a filibuster
    • certain types of bill such as budgets, so long as they avoid specifically off limit contents, don’t get a filibuster so long as they can pass the house again

    Also of note is Trump’s term could get a lot shorter if after the midterm elections the 53 GOP senate seats became closer to 40 and/or if enough GOP were convinced to vote to remove Trump.

    Any Democrat is better than Any Republican.
