That it’s filled with Marxists.

This is idiocy. DeSantis has no control over the borrowing and spending of federal funds which is the underlying cause of inflation in the general economy. The reason prices may be increasing more in FLA is that people are moving there in droves from Democratically controlled hellholes like California, New York, Illinois, NJ, etc. because DeSantis has made FLA a better place to live.

Yes

It’s easy to see why DeSantis would be a better version of Trump. He has more personal integrity and he is less of a blowhard. He actually gets things done instead of just talking big.

Probably doesn’t matter much. If you don’t have a definite fixed opinion on Trump at this point, you are probably comatose and won’t be voting.

Do you have any idea of when 18.1 might be released?

You should be able to boot from an SD card, a USB drive, or a CD to try out Linux without actually installing it on your computer’s hard drive.

I think one thing he is trying to communicate to Republican primary voters is that Trump cannot possible win the general election in 2024, so it is time to move on.

His niece, a clinical psychologist. wrote a book claiming that he is a narcissist. I think her diagnosis is correct.

Your logic lesson for today:

The genetic fallacy is the act of rejecting or accepting an argument on the basis of its origin rather than its content. Under the genetic fallacy, we judge a claim by paying too much attention to its source or history, even though this criticism is irrelevant to the truth of the claim.

If you understand the genetic fallacy you should realize that calling the originator of the argument a name is insufficient to refute the argument.

I edited the post to reference a similar tweet that links to the same or similar video of DeSantis’ speech.

That is strange. I saw it on Twitter just minutes ago.

Granted spending exploded under Trump but it has been maintained at an unnaturally high level under Biden.

Switched years ago. I don’t recall that it took a lot of effort.

Should we start with a discussion of epistemology?

Used to sleep on my stomach but after I read that it was bad for me, started sleeping on my side. I now prefer to sleep on my side.

Have you looked at Nostr? It is based on public and private key pairs used for encryption. The public key serves as your ID. The UI is similar to Twitter and it allows for Lightning payments which are referred to as Zaps, i.e if you like the post, you can send the poster Satoshis. It also allows for DMs. Some clients provide a group chat feature.
