I got a Lenovo 11e and was shocked at how good it was but the motherboard died (it was a refurb that cost way too little so that's just a risk you take). Since then I think my dad bought like four of them.
They're rugged, made for the educational market, so as long as you don't get something electronic like mine did they're pretty bulletproof.

I've got debian sid running on a positively ancient chromebook with a 4 core arm32 processor. It isn't great now, but it's just fine for basic travel.

It's a good thing she's recognized as a mage, because she'll never be a comedian.

What are the odds, we covered the death an resurrection of Jesus in the kids bible on Friday. Giant book and we happen to read those three pages on this weekend of all weekends.
I guess the odds are about 1 in 26, now that I think about it...

I don't think even now I necessarily have an understanding of either the Bible or atlas shrugged that's strong enough to say either way.
It's embarrassing how long it took me to realize what you're saying here. Decades.
Even the highest priests typically say quite definitively, "this isn't literal, of course this didn't happen" which changes everything imo.

I hear if he says in that jail cell more than 30 days he can just call it his home. :p
Honestly, I thought that I had been exposed to a lot of the Bible through cultural osmosis myself, but going through the children's Bible (a work that is appropriate for my level of intellect), I'm surprised at how little I actually knew. Of course there were certain portions there I was highly informed about, but their entire books I didn't even know existed.

Sort of as an aside, there's a lot of talk about deontological ethics vs. teleological ethics, and the idea that you should only be responsible for actions that have negative consequences, but I think this is a good example where there is an argument to be made that some rules should just be followed and it is morally wrong to break them whether there's a negative outcome this time or not.
Nothing happened, but it definitely could have, and then you can't undo the damage.

One thing that's mildly annoying is that minds comments don't throw notifications, so if you're not seeing as many replies as you'd expect that's why. You could probably increase the engagement on fediverse posts by tagging the person you're replying to.
I think the metaphor is typically not about being high power level or low power level per se, but the idea of hiding something big about yourself. I'd assume you could "hide your power level" and be a far left tankie just as much as a far right theocrat.
I could be mistaken, but I think it's also a phrase used by some in the LGBT community, showing how a metaphor can mean the same thing to far different groups.

Minds is a great addition to the fediverse as well. In my view, it's win/win, opening up all kinds of different people.
Right now we are seeing a massive realignment of the voter basis of the two political parties in the United States, and I think part of the reason is that there is a deep racism in the ideas of the Democrats.
My interpretation is that black people aren't pro crime, they are anti getting railroaded for a bunch of shit they either didn't do or that they interpret as something that other people wouldn't have gotten charged for.
So right now you have a presidential candidate who is getting railroaded for a bunch of shit either didn't do or shit that most people wouldn't get charged for, and you have another presidential candidate who is trying to make it legal to destroy black communities. I think it really goes to show the disconnect, and in a lot of holes what we're seeing is a massive reduction in the number of confirmed black Biden voters, and a massive increase in the number of confirmed black Trump voters.
Leave it to the Republicans to screw something this obvious up, but at this moment, we are seeing the development of a brand new coalition on the right.
I read an article a couple days ago that talked about a politician in New York who was a more conservative Democrat who at first supported fdr, but then later on opposed him when he realized that he represented a much different direction for the Democrats than what he expected. The author of that article suggested that it represented a changing of the guard within the Democratic party, that is the politician was trying to retain a status quo that no longer existed. In the same way, there are plenty in the Republican party who are pushing against the formation of the new coalitions, but after the absolute collapse of the Republicans in 2008, they've been really fighting to find a story that makes people want to vote for them, and the story that built this new coalition seems to be the most compelling one of many competing ones in the post 2008 era.
