Everyone has forgotten how unstable and insecure Windows was back then when it was “fast”. It was also fast to blue screen, freeze, and spread malware. IMO it’s much better now. If you don’t like it, then there are good viable alternatives today especially since everything is web based.

I thought this was old news. US universities have hard quotas per high school, so you’ll have better chances of admission if you attend a poor performing school.

The article makes a more extreme claim: that quotas are not equal per school, but differ based on LCFF+ status.

The charts that show changes over time reveal that it is not old news. The change has been happening for a couple years, but before the last year or so it would have been impossible to show that it was a trend, not just a blip. And of course the UCSD faculty report on remedial math shined a spotlight on the issue.

I’m in the same situation as you as well many other people who still workout. The trick is to remove as much friction as possible for working out and adding friction to activities that aren’t good for you. For example, if you don’t have time for the gym, make it easier to workout at home, make working out the very first thing you do when you wake up, etc…

Apparently, a lot of people like cmxch aren’t familiar with the age depopulation bomb, where senior citizens start outnumbering everyone else like in Japan. We need immigration to keep economy healthy

The fascists have a simple solution for that, too. It rhymes with "vape".

If this ends up with a lawsuit, maybe we can figure out who, in the WH or associated with the WH, is gambling on Polymarket.

This is one of the side effects of the shoplifting trends in recent years.

Were they able to link Antigravity to your paid subscription? I have a Google ultra AI sub and antigrav ran out of credits within 30 minutes for me. Of course that was a few weeks ago, and I’m hoping that they fixed this

Yes. I was on a 30-day trial of Google AI Pro and I got a few big wins each out of Gemini 3 Pro (High) and Claude 4.5 Opus (Thinking) before my quota got reset. Then I'd cycle through Gemini 3 Flash and Amp Free (or paid Junie credits if I got antsy) until my quota reset.

You can see this pattern in my AI attribution commit footers. It was such a noticeable difference to me that I signed up for Google AI Ultra. I got the email receipt January 3, 2026 at 11:21 AM Central, and I have not hit a single quota limit since. Yo

Limits reset every 5 hours on the pro plan right?

Globalism was also a big factor in world peace overall.

This game and Shadowrun where always meant to be either fully simulated in software or at least calculated turn by turn even on table top. It would eat up too much time otherwise.

WH40k is a pretty garbage game.

It frequently results in turn 1 wins before you even get to play.

Competitive 40k is even worse.

There are way better tabletop games that are actually fun.

Going on a tangent, didn’t realize until recently that Quora has publicly accessible porn aka adult content that anyone can view without an account.
