I’m an accountant.

The best accounting software will be the one your accountant uses.

When clients are on the same platform that I use internally everything just matches up and it’s beautiful and elegant and amazing.

When clients are using something else it just doesn’t fit our workflows and it’s just more of a fuck around, which of course the client gets charged for.

I feel like the left is kinda cannibalising itself.

The right has fielded a candidate who will end democracy, and we can’t even unite against them.

This isn’t a hill I care enough to die on.

I’ve never bought a series in any format. It’s always been piracy and for at least the last 5 years catch and release.

What I mean is, I don’t want to keep series in any case.

That said, now I think about it, if I didn’t pirate everything then keeping copies of what I’d paid for world feel important

You thought blu ray sales would just continue forever?

Not necessarily.

Perhaps 20 years ago Biden WorldCom acquitted himself better.

That said Trumps performance is a well established debate strategy called a gish gallop - just say dozens of lies and your opponent won’t be able to rebut them all. If they try, they won’t have time for their own points.

I don’t really understand how it could be too late.

Float a candidate under 60 and they win riotous support from Democrats and undecideds.

Biden is the only Democrat that Trump has a chance of beating.

Perhaps there has never been changes this late in the cycle, but come on… we’re breaking new ground in so many ways.

I don’t really follow. Didn’t Obama ask RBG if she wanted to retire so he could put up a left leaning judge? That’s not disrespectful nor respectful, it’s just sensible.

She refused, predictably precipitating the current shit show out of hubris.

She may be a great woman deserving of respect but she fucked up, bringing harm to an entire generation of women.

Meh. Planning be damned. Just float someone under 60 and they’ll crush it.

Me too. I think you could change to more or less anyone and get a bump.

It really seems as though the populace is extraordinarily weary of these two tired old assholes.

Anyone under 60 would mop the floor with Trump’s toupee.

sorry I meant banning not banking

Great points.

I think the option of nuclear needs to be on the table, and in some (or many) circumstances it might be the best fit.

Presently in Australia one of our two major parties is campaigning on a “pivot to nuclear” platform, but we’re kind the polar opposite to the netherlands (both figuratively and literally?). The vast majority of Australia is sunny desert, girt by sea, with a tiny population in on the coast. My state is something like 2,000km by 1,250km, with about 2 million people. Nuclear just doesn’t seem like a good fit right now.

My concern is that with this pivot to nuclear we basically just keep burning coal for the next 20 years while we’re building nuclear plants.

It might be a great idea to build several reactors, while we furiously build out wind and solar.

There are some gargantuan solar hydrogen cracking projects not far from here in the planning phase which just sound amazing to me.

They would’ve assassinated him already.

Yes I think this has broken him. Quiet life in the burbs with the occasional phone interview on someone’s podcast.

I just can’t understand how someone could think that banking books is a good idea.

edit: sorry banning not banking

I find it a bit annoying that different usb-c implementations have different capabilities.

As in, not all cables are compatible with all devices, and there’s not even a standardised way or reporting capabilities.

What’s the point of being able to put every plug in every socket if you don’t know if it’s going to work?

No and none.

He just walked out of a US district court. If they were going to grab him they would have.

He rolled the dice on being the world’s most well known “journalist” and he lost in the most spectacular way. He’s so incredibly lucky he got off as lightly as he did, having only lost 12 years of his life.

what do you mean? It just did play out. That’s the end.

If it was just about transparency he would’ve released it sooner.

Sitting on it to release at the right time was partisan.

He released information relating to government officials engaging in misconduct

… at precisely the right time to maximise the effect of the release and diminish her chances at winning the election.

No whistleblowers shouldn’t go to prison, I’m glad Assange is going home but I do dislike him immensely.

Well it’s made a lot of people feel satisfied that they’ve done their bit and had their say.

Is that the definition of CSAM?
