My point is that you can’t conceal his obvious senility by calling it a stutter. Yes, Trump needs to be prevented from gaining power, and were Biden to win a second term, the next four years would be better for the universe than if Trump were to win.
Regardless, it is looking exceedingly unlikely that Biden will be President on Jan 21, 2025, so he should step aside for someone who has a realistic prayer of actually being President on January 21.
I grew up with a stutter. I still have it if I don’t watch the pace of my speech. My uncle is the same way, but a more severe case. This is not someone with a stutter:

What it is, is someone who is not dealing with senility.
Los Angeles used to send the drunks to a labor camp in the valley for the duration of the Olympics.
Here’s Biden in the 2008 debate against Sarah Palin. https://youtu.be/4Hs7CptPWI4?si=ygyXTtMIiNwfAPYa
There’s no “stutter.” He’s nailing his talking points, stringing them together fluently. The Biden of today is unrecognizable.
At the same time, it’s not like Kamala is going to beat Trump. And they won’t let Bernie get the nomination.
Right, forgot about those devastatingly important priorities.
Now watch them do nothing of consequence.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Batteries are so heavy right now that 80-90% of the available cargo and passenger capacity would be batteries.
For the moment, batteries are better for cars, and something like hydrogen would be better for planes and semi trucks
I set up Alpine to read my Gmail last summer, and while the nostalgia hit was nice, the browser version was more responsive and useful, cap I went back to that.
It wasn’t (maybe still isn’t?) a strictly proportional representation system, so the urban areas get slightly fewer members per vote. More equal than the Electoral College, but still imbalanced in favor of the rural areas where wealthy people have huge estates that have been handed down for generations.
Churchill lost re-election because he made a really tone-deaf radio address on Labour’s plans for socialized medicine, national insurance, and nationalisation of utilities and critical industries (all of which the overwhelming majority of the country wanted), basically calling them communism, said it would require a “gestapo” to implement, and he wouldn’t stand for it.
Clement Atlee more or less thanked him for that speech the next day, and assumed the Prime Minister role after the Tories were absolutely trounced in the 1945 election.
Atlee lasted 6 years. Labour ran the show with a huge majority for a full five year term, then got an unworkably small majority of 5 seats in 1950. Snap election was called in 1951, and Conservatives retook the majority, despite Labour getting 48.8% of the vote, and Conservatives only getting 48.0%.
…Funny how that keeps happening.
Churchill resumed the role of Prime Minister until he retired in 1955.
While I don’t have personal experience with this, I did find this from the bad website:
Install pipewire-jack and use JACK audio device in Reaper. Also, yes make sure that wireplumber is installed.
Gentoo. Not an Arch fork, and uses OpenRC by default. I use it and love it. Portage is the best package manager out there, imo.
You can still get binaries of the really annoying things to compile, like Firefox. Otherwise, it’s all source-based.
I’d advise installing it in a VM or on a spare computer first to get your hands around what it is.
In your case, you’ll want to specify the following flags in you makefile:
OpenRC, -systemd
You’ll add a bunch of others in there too depending on architecture and personal priorities.
Follow the handbook. https://www.gentoo.org/get-started/
There’s also Calculate Linux, which is basically Gentoo with a graphical front end, but I think it’s Intel only. CLI is more fun anyway.
Tuesday’s court ruling also permanently stripped Bai of his political rights and ordered that all his personal property be confiscated.
If we don’t get to execute corrupt grifters in the US, can we at least do this?
Debian Stable or Testing. Runs on anything, and Stable - especially - will not let you down. Ubintu, Elementary and dozens of others are downstream of Debian. Bookworm is a great experience, so why not go to the source?
“Testing” is described as containing packages that are still in the queue to be accepted into Stable.
“Unstable” branch is all the newest stuff, whether it works or not.
If you’re in school for anything computer-related, once you’ve settled on a distro, you could also start playing with Gentoo.
Yup - vst is OS-agnostic.
I work in music and audio post, and everyone I work with would love to be able to use Reaper (or Logic, or Nuendo) instead of Pro Tools, if Pro Tools didn’t have the post industry completely captured in the US.
Reaper is a world-class product, and the team could easily charge 10x as much for the pro licenses, and get it. Stick with Reaper.
There are alternative drum triggers for Linux, I’m sure. Even SPL makes a drum exchanger. There’s got to be one out there.
VMR shouldn’t be a problem to run, I just don’t know what the install process would look like.
I’m pretty sure Airwindows plugs are Linux compatible, probably Audio Obsession too.
In any case, Reaper’s stock plugins are awesome. My only real complaint about them is the EQ cramping in the hi-end, which is typical for stock plugins.
Podcast, or some insane Art Bell interview from 30 years ago.
I just don’t want to see ads.
Your employer is likely paying another $600/mo for you as well, and singles/couples working for the company are actually subsiding your threesome.
The insurer-first system a stupid scheme that shouldn’t exist in the first place.
