I live in a 70%+ Trump part of the South too, it's everywhere. Flags, signs, billboards, you name it.

It will never happen, sure he's made some token changes and talks a lot about seed oil but is wrapped up getting rid of vaccines. At best he'll try to make raw milk legal and served in schools before wearing out his welcome. There's not much he can do working for the junk food President

My MAGA family members (all of them) absolutely love RFK Jr. To some serious second only to Trump levels. All of them think he is doing all this wonderful stuff with getting rid of vaccines and 'chemicals in food'.

If you live somewhere that has electricity coming from the energy grid then by default should also have Internet coming to your house as well. By defining the internet as a utility and treating it like one you would get more funding to build out the network. Something similar happened with phone lines way back in the day if I'm not mistaken.

I agree, but that really is the point. Strain government services so they are shit, then use that as an excuse to privatize it as much as possible and funnel the funding to the oligarchs.

Some of the LLM deployments are just stupid as well. Take the way AWS is using Claude as part of the Q CLI offering. You would assume such a model would at a bare minimum be able to reference and refer to AWS' own public documentation and knowledgebase data. But no, it doesn't even have access or the ability to read AWS public website unless you copy and paste the text into your chat session. That's just so fucking stupid I can't understand it.

As a result, it's all too common to get the model to just make shit up about how an AWS service functions, and if you ask it how do you know that? It will admit that it actually doesn't know and just made it up.

The only thing I've found it useful for is very limited and basic python scripts, but even then you have to be careful since it's not very good at that either.

I thought the idea was that Trump wasn't paying them? As in that's the point, the Federal government is forcing the states to foot the bill as a sign of fealty.

No offense, but if I had a roach problem this bad I would find a way to afford $40 a month for an exterminator even if I had to cut back to bare utilities only. Maybe even no electricity and cold showers until they were gone.

Even if these guys were actually ICE agents and were killed, odds are the feds would just deny it and keep moving forward. But the way I know they weren't is just because there were only 2 of them and the homeowner wasn't shot and killed by other ICE agents.

Thanks, she is a big coffee drinker in the morning but has to completely cut off stimulants around noon or it will mess with her sleep. But, so far she refuses the idea of even trying medication because she is worried about side effects.

It's not my estimates, it's actually polling data that is showing that among Hispanic voters in Texas that voted for Trump, his approval rating is dropping noticably.

From what I've seen if you account for voting trends even just back through 2016 or 2012, this redistricting isn't very helpful. The 2024 voting trends seem more like an anomaly, especially with Hispanic voters. Given Trump's crack down with ICE, his approval ratings among those voters have gone negative.
