Steam Decks - Encouraged by mobility. But waiting another Gen or 2 before diving in. Get those refinements in, battery life, display/perofrmance -- nm - budice Oct 2, 10:11 1
- Battery length varies wildly based on the game, if you can find a comfortable setup where you’re wired, it’s fantastic -- nm - Tim Oct 2, 10:51

Panic buying is starting apparently. Local Costco has empty shelves for paper products and bottled water this morning -- (edited) - decline Oct 2, 09:23 5
- Yes, it started yesterday -- nm - Pippy aka Couch Therapist Oct 2, 09:45
- What's this about? -- nm - Max Oct 2, 09:26 3
  - I'm assuming dockworkers strike. -- nm - pmb Oct 2, 09:27 2
    - Isn't the strike on the east coast, so only supplies of Grey poupon and BMWs are effected? -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 2, 09:37
    - that's my take -- nm - decline Oct 2, 09:29
I realize this is likely not the case, but I wonder if there were any on the fence voters last night that saw Vance speak coherently and at least - pmb Oct 2, 09:16 13
- he articulates every nuance of their horseshit quite well. -- nm - mud Oct 1, 18:27 -- nm - mud Oct 2, 09:31 8
  - He turned over power very peaceably on jan 20th, he defended the ACA, He articulated well for someone who's pants are on fire. -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 2, 09:35 7
    - the defending ACA was particularly egregious since they tried to repeal it like 60+ times WITH NO PLAN to replace it -- nm - Pippy aka Couch Therapist Oct 2, 09:38 6
      - And still have no plan. Though they're working on a concept of a plan. -- nm - pmb Oct 2, 09:41 5
        
        they have a concept of a plan, which should be enough - decline Oct 2, 09:48
        
        they do have an actual plan: kill it administratively with executive orders on day one (no more subsidies, no more exchanges). they just don't want to - mr mooch Oct 2, 09:44 3
        
        Vance was slick with the answer about pre-existing conditions. He said they would not take away coverage but dodged " would it cost more for them". - Pippy aka Couch Therapist Oct 2, 09:46 2
        
        an unintended consequence of the ACA eventually working as well as it has is the young voters who have only lived under its protections have no idea - mr mooch Oct 2, 10:21 1
        
        “Well kids, for the first week there when the website crashed because so many people wanted to get on Obamacare, the NYT assured us it was doomed” -- nm - mr mooch Oct 2, 10:23
- i think the danger in always "looking forward" for Dems is median voters get magical thinking amnesia about just how bad shit was four years ago - mr mooch Oct 2, 09:20 3
  - There is definitely a lot of that, and that was the source of a lot of my frustration watching Walz and not fact checking him. - pmb Oct 2, 09:27 2
    - I think they made a strategic choice not to have him in full attack dog mode, which at least from the initial reax by persuadables wasn’t a bad choice -- (link) - mr mooch Oct 2, 09:32 1
      - You can fact check without being an attack dog. Vance didn't come off as one, but still made (and made up) his points. -- nm - pmb Oct 2, 09:40

  - If you're looking for convenience you should be able to get a cruise out of Baltimore. It might limit destinations a bit. -- nm - Dano Oct 2, 08:36
- How about a cruise from Costa Rica through the Panama Canal at night? - ReluctantCynic Oct 2, 08:28 1

- "You won't have juice to squeeze anymore, because gentlemen, this is my l" -- nm - Max Oct 2, 08:28
- From what I've read, Enel X Way bought juicebox and royally f*cked it up and this is the result -- nm - decline Oct 2, 08:23 1
  - Yes, every change they made was for the worse. I don't know if it was a VC thing but it was the VC playbook. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 08:32

- We don't have a basement in the new house (Florida homes rarely do), but at some point I will have a Pinball / Arcade room. - JaxSean Oct 2, 07:45 1
  - Yeah - a pinball machine is high on my list of additions to make. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Oct 2, 07:47

  - In lieu of a jukebox, I bought a 200 CD changer and filled it. Hit "random" and let it play. Random doesn't seem as random as it should. -- nm - VMan Oct 2, 07:51 1
    - That's because 'we' find patterns in what the jukebox just sees as equally random data. -- (edited) - JD Oct 2, 08:09
