No. This is the American public's. None of it should be sold.

And involved in the California DNC since the '70s

Incoherent conspiracy theory and conjecture with not a single supporting fact in the entire article.

Who is "they"? What you wrote doesn't describe anyone I know. The people I know are deeply afraid, angry, and at times despondent. They try not to think too much about what's happening and just live their lives hoping that this will pass in 2027 or 2029 because they can't come to terms emotionally or mentally with what will happen otherwise.

And this is why the U.S. government would start a civil war if the West and Northeast tried to secede. The fascists hate us, but like abusers they think they own us, and most importantly they need our money.

Gov. Hochul and her husband declared a combined income of $1.5 million last year.

More like "slammed his plans to raise her taxes."

I'm glad The NY Times is at least regularly calling these racist now in their news department, instead of "racially charged" or whatever.

But his shock win put him on the national radar, and some Republicans in Congress are now seeking to undermine him using a strategy similar to the racist one that Donald J. Trump employed against former President Barack Obama by questioning whether he was born in the United States. [...]

Some Democrats condemned the comments and expressed outrage, although they have learned not to expect any response. And their denunciations of racist attacks typically disappear into a morass of polarized content on social media. [...]

[Senator Tommy Tuberville, Republican of Alabama] made racist comments in response, lamenting New York City’s high concentration of undocumented immigrants and referring to them as vermin who “live off the federal government.”

Jon Hamm will never recover.

But also don't post AI slop, please.

Copying and pasting my comment from the earlier thread.

Did anyone actually read the article or did y'all just read the headline?

He says probably not, but it doesn't matter, because it's up to the people to rise up and push them out like they've started to as part of the Sanders/AOC rallies, the No Kings protest, and Mamdani's primary victory.

This is based on an inaccurate analysis from a non-expert.

Switch game cards use Macronix XtraROM. These games are rated by the company for data retention shelf life of 20 years at 85°C / 185°F. But it depends on environmental conditions like humidity, and 20 years is an extremely conservative estimate. It's safe to say they will last much longer than that.

DS and 3DS games use an older version of Macronix technology, and critically also write to the cartridge itself. These will likely have issues long before Switch games do, although it should still be a long time.

Magnetic media was rated for a similar lifespan and in most cases still works fine 50 years later. The rare issues with CDs are due to manufacturing defects like glue separation, not the technology itself. These are, again, exacerbated by environmental factors. CDs are 30 years old at this point and the worst iteration of optical media, and the overwhelming majority work fine.

Different technologies, but just included for comparison.

If you're concerned about it, dump them to SSD RAID storage.

Imagine justifying sending someone to a foreign prison for life without a trial, or even possibly enslavement in a place like Libya, and then complaining about being called names.
