If they’ve held office before then you’ll know from their track record what they are like without needing to trust the campaign trail blather.

Colon cancer now leading cause of cancer deaths under 50 in US

Because rates in absolute numbers have increased? Other cancers are more treatable?

If “grab 'em by the pussy” didn’t do it nothing will.

Idk maybe they could spend a few months telling us their ideas, and then the people could go and pick the candidate they like the most, like some sort of election

You believe their lies?

And how does one typically get good enough at a job to “make good decisions”? And how would you know if they would “make good decisions” in that job?

What about her?

Electing a legislator is not electing a dictator.

No shit. But you presumably still want qualified people doing the job?

There’s not necessarily anything wrong with electing people without political experience.

I’m sorry - what? Of course there is. It’s a job that affects the lives of thousands to millions. Having experience with the systems, the laws, and seeing the results of legislation and the like is critical to being able to govern and legislate effectively.

You’re talking a lot of storage - it might be worth investing in some low-end server hardware. A Dell tower or something, maybe one off eBay if you’re looking to cut costs.

I picked up a PowerEdge T110II a long time ago and it’s been… flawless. Just a simple server with a 4x4TB RAID5. No hardware problems (aside from occasional disk failures over the years), easy to manage. It costs a bit more - but server hardware is often just more reliable and for a NAS that’s job #1. This server just runs.

I just upgraded the memory in it to 32GB for ~$100USD. Before that it had 8GB. I needed more for restic doing backups. I probably could have gotten away with 16GB but I figured I’d max it out for that price.

“Thanks chief justice Roberts!”

Because they’ll be in the US and subject to the little king’s ICE secret police?

Wow, this question takes me back to like the 00’s when laptops had battery life measured in minutes.

You think this is the worst that could be done? I admire your optimism.

How about “no”.

If that were true Trump wouldn’t need to replace people.

I didn’t say the government. I’m talking about the military who do have a code of honor. I’m sure you’ll just say “oh those assholes never had a code” or some BS like the other person who replied, but they do have one. Those people don’t take kindly to people like Trump which is why he’s been replacing the top military brass with people who do.

Iran is showing commendable fighting spirit

And not just against their own citizens.

No, but taking responsibility for mistakes is part of having a code of honor.
