After the only hospital in town closed, a North Carolina city directs its ire at politicians ( apnews.com )

Weeds have punctured through the vacant parking lot of Martin General Hospital’s emergency room. A makeshift blue tarp covering the hospital’s sign is worn down from flapping in the wind. The hospital doors are locked, many in this county of 22,000 fear permanently....

I would note, this is not just a problem for rural red states.

The only hospital in my home town of Eugene, Oregon has closed. It sat just a few blocks from the University of Oregon campus.

People in need of emergency services need to drive miles to the neighboring town of Springfield, 6 miles away, or Cottage Grove, 23 miles.

Despite polls, Biden aides insist Gaza campus protests will not hurt reelection bid ( www.reuters.com )

WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - Several top White House aides say they are confident protests across U.S. college campuses against Israel's offensive in Gaza will not translate into significantly fewer votes for Joe Biden in November's election, despite polls showing many Democrats are deeply unhappy about the president's policy...

I think the #1 problem is defining "youth voter" as 18-29.

College age is 18-24, but I don't see anything looking specifically at that demographic.

For 18-29:

https://circle.tufts.edu/latest-research/state-state-youth-voter-turnout-data-and-impact-election-laws-2022

"Nationally, CIRCLE estimates that 23% of eligible young Americans cast a ballot in the 2022 midterm elections."

Now, problem #1, that's a mid-term election which always draws lower voter participation.

2nd is looking at 18-29 instead of 18-24.

https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2023/12/05/young-americans-harvard-poll-trump-biden

"The U.S. Census Bureau estimated 54.1% of 18- to 29-year-olds voted in 2020, which had the highest youth turnout overall of any election in the 21st century."

In the end, it won't matter much. I'm not going to go so far as to say the President is a figurehead, but the real power in Iran comes from Ali Khamenei.

So not enough that cities have to subsidize stadiums, they have to subsidize player salaries too? 🤔

Windows beats Mac on price.
Windows beats Linux on compatability.

Really all there is to it.

If you want to spend 3x the money, get a Mac.

If you're comfortable dealing with software incompatibility, install Linux.

Worked under Windows, not an ISP problem.

These are the sorts of things you have to accept as a Linux user and figure out workarounds.

It happens all the time with job search sites and government sites. Happens to Safari users on Mac as well.

European far-right leaders gather ahead of EU elections ( www.theguardian.com )

International far-right leaders, including France’s Marine Le Pen, Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni and Argentina’s Javier Milei, came together in Madrid to rail against socialism and “massive illegal migration” three weeks before hard-right parties are expected to see a surge in support in June’s...

Given how "therapy" programs like this are, at best, complete bullshit and, at worst, full of fraud and abuse, I'm leaning on supporting the kids here.

"Now wait for 1,000 Hz content and capable GPUs."

Forget the content and GPU, you need an input port capable of that.

HDMI 2.1 and Display Port 1.4 cap out at, what? 240?

He caught the compressed flesh tube to off-set putting his other foot down.

If the sonic is in his pocket, there's no compensation.

My only beef with Space Babies was that they kept saying "SPACE BABIES!!!" over and over.

They did explicitly explain the catching of the tube with putting the foot down though.

Although how funny would it have been to make him do the episode on one foot? ;)

It was never that high under Reagan. You have to look back to Eisenhower to see the top rate at 90%.

Reagan cut the highest tax bracket from 73% to 28%.

The folks in Jackson and Josephine county, who want to join Idaho, are so anti-tax, they had to reduce police and fire services because they wouldn't vote for local funding bonds.

These folks are going to be DRAMATICALLY surprised to learn, as Idahoans, they now have a 6% sales tax.

I didn't say that, but I can definitely see why someone would say that!
