The DNC shit the bed and is trying to blame everyone else for the smell.
Russian revelations didn't bump Michigan's Green and Libertarian votes in Michigan from 21897 & 7774 to 51463 & 172136, respectively.
Russian revelations didn't keep Wisconsin's Republican votes flat between 2012 and 2016 but bump Libertarian votes up similar to the way they did in Michigan.
Both those states went Sanders in the Primary and the message voters heard in those states in July was that they weren't wanted or needed.
Perhaps if you didn't fight Sanders so hard you would have had someone in the Whitehouse with a D next to their name. But we were told it was her turn and they get to live with that decision.
That and the quazi-open status of most chips is what kills it for me. I had a SheevaPlug years ago that was great. It ran my house's HVAC and web server and did some light downloading. The uBoot was fairly straight forward and the Kirkwood chipset made its way into Debian. I never had a reason to replace it so I didn't.
Recently I got a CubieBoard since it billed itself as "Open Source Hardware". It was shit. Nothing on it was open. uBoot was a mess. It only ran specific versions of Ubuntu that didn't have anything 'opensourced' from a Chinese manufacturer. It overheated and shut itself down constantly. Then had the same experience with a OLinoXino and Wandboard.
With what I spent on useless ARM paperweight I wish I just got myself an old low powered embedded x86 board. BIOS and UEFI may not be all that, but for the most part it's consistent.
I've held out hope for years for someone to introduce a cheap ARM laptop that had a 12 hour run time.
Them selling the brand out is. Back in the day IMAX meant something. Then the corporation realized people would drive hours to see their favourite movie in IMAX so they started selling IMAXLite. Originally IMAX was a 70mm format it was only used on documentaries. It played on a 23x30m screen. Some action film makers wanted to play on these screens so they upscaled their 35mm print.
Then The Dark Night was shot on 70mm AND raked in a ton of cash, so the IMAX Corp decided to sell out their brand and allow 8.5x18m screens to be labeled as IMAX.
Don't you know. Russia spies all descended on Wisconsin and told 300,000 Democratic voters from 2012 to vote elsewhere. Russia personally bumped Stein and Johnson's turnout from 7665 & 20439 to 31072 and 106,674 respectively. Russia told Clinton to not visit Wisconsin once in the general election.
Never you mind those Sanders supporters that said Fuck You to the DNC. (Seriously, how can anyone at DNC HQ say Sanders would have lost Wisconsin or Michigan?).
When "all" of the evidence is "They use English-Russian linguistic patterns and smiley faces", yes. Because both of those can be learned, you can even have a machine do it for you. Google Translate does a halfway decent job of emulating a Russian's speaking English.
The problem is he wasn't an DNC poster child. He didn't "pay his dues". He was a wildcard that they didn't want to deal with and look where that got them.
Russia is trying to delegitimize our system of government -- our society -- by attacking our sovereignty, and you alongside many other people are sitting there going.

The only influence people have claimed is they released the DNC's inner dialog. Inner dialog that showed them colluding against a candidate that was polling stronger against Trump than the one they chose.
The DNC is mad that someone broke into their house and reported their illegal grow-op to the police. All the neighbors could smell it, everyone knew they were growing weed but it's suddenly the person that broke in's fault that it finally got reported? "Stop telling the population what we're doing behind their back!".
If a random hacker in the US breaks into any other server in the world they're a lone wolf. But if someone that speaks Russian does the same thing suddenly that guy eats dinner with Putin nightly. They've provided little to no evidence that it was a Russian at all and even if it was a Russian the onus is still on them to prove it was a state action. So far I've seen them do neither.
If petty corruption 1 didn't happen then the DNC wouldn't have lost.
Sanders rallies looked like Trump rallies with the number of people that turned out. Clinton rallies looked like what was left over from a PTA meeting.
Look at all these fucking Russian Anonymous Cowards posting their propaganda all over the/. As soon as the report is publish, their FUD campaign is on it, full force.
I'll make a deal with the DNC. I'll accept that the Russians had as much influence on the General election as the DNC had on the Primary. Please indicate on a scale from 1-10 how much influence that was.

Vhat you mean Guccifer sound like Russian? All sound Good American.
Every 20 year old that has watched any James Bond should be able to hack out a half way decent Russian speech pattern. When I was in Germany I found it easier to talk to Germans using German English than American English because of the differences between word order. Using Google Translate will even do most of the hard work for you just by going from English to Russian to English. "Guccifer does not sound like a Russian." to "Guccifer not sound like Russian"
Additionally why is it that when a few dozen (if that) Russians out of 143.5 M do a hack it's instantly Putin's fault and evidence that Putin had everything to do with it. However if it's a few dozen Americans that smash their keyboard on 4Chan or The_Donald it's they're independent actors?
Or, as said by my Russian Google Translate peer:
Furthermore, why is it that when a few dozen (if that) from the Russian 143,5 M do hack it instantly wines and proof Putin that Putin had anything to do with it. However, if several dozen Americans that smash their keyboards on 4chan The_Donald or are they independent actors?
Does that make it OK that the DNC was hacked and its private communications were released in an attempt to influence the election?
Like I asked, does someone doing something illegal to point out your shady dealings make them the ones at fault? If the leaks happened and they didn't show the DNC colluding to keep out Sanders or CNN spoon feeding questions would she have won? (Likely not). The only thing the e-mails did was validate the opinions most people had, the people that protest voted against Clinton would have "known" she colluded or cheated in the primaries evidence or not.
Most people I knew had their minds made up as soon as the pieces were set. In Wisconsin Johnson didn't jump from 20k to 106k from some 'leaked e-mails', nor Stein 7k to 31k. Most people in the Midwest had their minds made up about Clinton before the primary began. (See also Democratic Primary Results, 2016.)
The DNC lost it's shot at the presidency when they tied their fate to Clinton. The Russians didn't setup Clinton's e-mail server. The Russians didn't vote for NAFTA. Perceived or real, a lot of blue collar workers in those states blame NAFTA for our economic problems.
Full Stop. This was not "Trump Winning" or "Russia Hacking" it was the DNC being so completely out of touch with parts of the country they knew they would win than they still don't accept that they lost there. Michael Moore nailed it in 5 Reasons Trump Will Win.
The whole election loss can come down to a few swing states. A few extra thousand voters one way or another in a state that is solid Red or Blue isn't what got Trump elected. (Just like Clinton getting massive numbers in California didn't win her the election, that's not how the rules were set before the game)
I'll just point out the 2 states I'm most familiar with, Wisconsin and Michigan. Not coincidentally both of those states they had completely wrong in the Primary as well. Both states were "Sure" Clinton states and Sanders proved them wrong. Clinton didn't visit Wisconsin once for the general election. She sent a bunch of proxies. She did hit Michigan late but more or less completely ignored it prior to their number crunchers going "eh maybe we're wrong". The Russians didn't tell her not to go to Wisconsin. The Russians didn't push Sanders over the top in the Primaries. The Russians didn't collude to keep Sanders out of the nomination. [And even IF they did, I don't think 'Those guys did something illegal to illustrate something I was doing illegal" is a justifiable defense in court]
Stein and Johnson ran in both 2012 and 2016 so you can use them as a 'control' between the candidates. Personally Michigan's Green bump in 2012 and the corresponding Democrat drop should have been an indication 4 years ago that something was up.
Dillon started DragonFly in the belief that the methods and techniques being adopted for threading and symmetric multiprocessing in FreeBSD 5 would lead to poor system performance and cause maintenance difficulties. He sought to correct these suspected problems within the FreeBSD project. Due to ongoing conflicts with other FreeBSD developers over the implementation of his ideas, his ability to directly change the FreeBSD codebase was eventually revoked. Despite this, the DragonFly BSD and FreeBSD projects still work together contributing bug fixes, driver updates, and other system improvements to each other.
year round day care costs average about 14k per year until you can get them in school.
A single head of house hold earning $50k/year will be just fine in large swaths of the country. Have your wife stay home with the kids.
agism is real, and not entirely unfounded,
The only people I've seen complain about agism are the ones that don't keep their skills up to date. If you're 60 and have had the same skillset that you had in 1980 it's going to be impossible to find a job.
There are a lot of 'old' people employed in all industries. The ones that know their stuff are always employed.
that doesn't mean there's jobs there for you.
In this area VocTech high school students are graduating with jobs lined up. Tesla is buying small tool and die shops and hiring CNC machinists to make their vehicles or make tools to make parts for their vehicles.
people don't move to where the jobs are as much as they did in the past.
Great Grandpa didn't get a choice on where to live when the CCC sent him around the country building up infrastructure (which we're in need of right now). Grandpa didn't get a choice when the US government said he was going to "mork" with some Germans. Dad didn't get a choice when the US said he was going to "Work" in Asia.
If my wife and I lost our jobs and house tomorrow I would have no problem raising our kid in an RV. I feel like a lot of these situations are "I want to ____ to earn money" and people are finding out that that doesn't always work.
There are jobs all across the US. Technical jobs. Jobs that you can use to put you self through a community college to get a better job, in a better location. (Repeat, rinse, move up). If you can weld, swing a hammer, or drive a truck you can find employment. You better be planning your next move because those won't be there in 10 years, but they'll pay enough for a house and community college education in the middle of the mean time.
An engineer with a CDL is going to be in high demand in the next decade or so. It was always cheaper to have an engineer drive than pay 2 people for our data validation road trips when I was working on highway trucks.

They can get rid of human drivers. Human drivers that attack users, have accidents and are an all around liability.
If $(autonomous car liability + costs) $(human liability + costs) it makes business sense.

Then lets swing you to a long commute and set $200k as a ceiling. This house is 4 bed, 2 bath on 2.1 acres, $125k for 1600 sqft. 3B/2B. Or if you like a really well built house 4 beds 4 baths 3,106 sqft, built in 1855 (Ask the Europeans if that's 'old'). In a town no less.
You can repeat that experiment all across the US.
