2:30 am – Successfully got Linux operational on an external drive plugged into a MacBook Air.
2:35 am – Wondering what to do next… ->
@xkeepahPLUS Already did (Put on Chrome and HexChat). AUR is an interesting experience for the former… in reply to xkeepahPLUS ->
@xkeepahPLUS I last tried Ubuntu earlier this year. They actually got a fair bit worse, IMO. in reply to xkeepahPLUS ->
@xkeepahPLUS True, but I am not a fan of Unity. It feels like a toy-like interface. in reply to xkeepahPLUS ->
@xkeepahPLUS True enough. I have an dev VM image that I use that has Xubuntu on it. But I have gotten to like openSUSE way too much. in reply to xkeepahPLUS ->
@frankieboyle "Quotations from Chairman Mao" in reply to frankieboyle ->
To everyone who is #BernieOrBust – Do you really want Donald Trump to win? If your answer is anything other than no, good night & good luck ->
However, if you want the gains made over the past 8 years to last a generation or more, then you need to vote @HillaryClinton #ImWithHer ->
@roareyraccoon Nah. You're British. You are safely in the not boring category. in reply to roareyraccoon ->
Sanders is accepting an olive branch from the Democratic Party & will name 1/3 of the platform committee members – https://t.co/gG6h5my7fr ->
RT @xkeepah: eat shit https://t.co/NfX728MrsN ->
@sonic_show You should never ask "what could possibly go wrong" on the internet. it never ends well… in reply to sonic_show ->
Haven't registered to vote for @HillaryClinton June 7th in California? Get going! You have til 11:59:59PM PDT tonite https://t.co/nxiveiyplL ->
@spexfox I would expect he'll get a decent amount of his plans in the platform (e.g., free college tuition, Chapter 9 for Puerto Rico, etc.) in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Hillary is in line with part of Bernie's ideas. She also supports a small donor matching system to make it worth it to donate… in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox … in addition to overturning Citizen's United, appointing sympathetic judges, & requiring disclosure of campaign $ from corps. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@notch IE dislikes most everything, so you can rest easy. in reply to notch ->
I guess this was what Wylis was talking about all this time: https://t.co/m1jP9EegJR ->
This would be good for an April Fool's Day prank https://t.co/jI1aIUcDlw ->
Bad news/good news time. Bad news, I didn't get a ticket to go to @summerofsonic & schedule conflicts prevent me going to @sonicrevolt … ->
Good news, I am going to @AKon_Convention in Dallas this year with some friends from college. We leave early Fri at 6am & will return Sun. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@thekevineva Screw productivity. You should do some TF2 MvM in reply to thekevineva ->
Saw the new Mighty No. 9 trailer. Let us hope the new release date of 21 June holds… ->
@spexfox I highly doubt Bernie would willingly spend 2 hours getting verbally curb stomped by the Republicans' masters of propaganda. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox My 68 year old mom can take on Trump, even with her health problems. My concern's the so called moderators that Fox News will use – in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox – who are in effect RNC surrogates. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox There is also speculation that it's all a ploy to twist Hillary's arm so she'll agree to debate and/or give free advertising to him in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Considering that there have been 10 debates since the campaign started, with 7 this year alone, I think the public is well informed in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox So is giving Bernie effectively free advertising. Which, let's be honest here, this debate is going to be. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Especially with his campaign running on fumes. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox I doubt the candidates are going to be without a voice there. Sanders I am certain will be holding rallies & so will Clinton in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox He has only just over $5M on hand & he just laid off a ton of staff in CA. Add the expensive ad buy rates there, & it's not good. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Not much momentum, though. He lost (albeit close) in KY, and he is not going to get much help in PR or VI. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox We will have a united Democratic party, if only because a Trump win will erase everything we have gained over 8 years under Obama. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Despite the recent issues, the Democrats as a party are less split than it was this time in 2008. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox Then I would invite you to read the platform when we get it done and see how close Clinton and Sanders were all alone on the issues in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox I would disagree on that, but I doubt I will convince you on that in multiples of 140 characters. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox The differences are a lot less than you think. Take a look at Hillary's campaign finance reform stance, for example in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox The only difference is in a couple details. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox I would think she would do what she can to continue to serve those who elected her as well entice some who didn't in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox She may not go full Sanders, but neither would she do what Obama did in 2012 and slam himself in the center, albeit looking left. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox If trust is an issue, I would trust none of them, even Sanders. I take a long, critical view of all politicians. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Not too consistent though. I still have issues with his gun stances over the years. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox In any case I believe fear is going to motivate a lot of independents though, regardless of the part of the spectrum they inhabit. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox There are not as many people willing to hand the election to Trump as the Sanders campaign is willing to insinuate… in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox I doubt it will be that high come election day, largely because the left will align behind who is the closest to their issues in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox That means the Democrats in most states. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox Including, if my memory is correct, Washington State. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox I don't. I would expect that the outcome of the platform committee is going to be conductive in getting them to lean toward Hillary in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Especially with Sanders candidates with a third of the seats on the committee, and her choices willing to work with his. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox And as I said, the platform committee makeup is a good sign of the former. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox I never said it would. However, when all is said and done, Sanders is going to have to throw his full weight behind Clinton… in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Especially with Julian Castro or Kamala Harris as her running mate choice. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox When all his said and done, his voters are going to pick the closest in beliefs of who is left between Clinton and Trump. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox … in the general election. That for most Sanders supporters is going to be HRC in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox Even in that case, they would still go Clinton over Trump. Hell, Trump has known organized crime ties that are certain to be used. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox In the end, no matter how corrupt you believe HRC is, Trump would make Hillary look like Bernie in comparison. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox Turns out Trump was playing people and had no serious desire to debate Sanders after all: https://t.co/9pHYEcMbHL in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Now, back to California and the rest of the states that vote June 7 in reply to biafrarepublic ->
A Sanders-requested re-canvassing of the KY primary ends with the same result: Clinton wins by almost 2K votes. https://t.co/tBHEPygxfZ ->
Barring any last minute fillings by Team Sanders, Hillary's KY win becomes official 10am Monday. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox Probably not. Trump was never serious in the first place. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Considering he chose to say this on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, then follow up with robotic answers to questions, I lean to joke. in reply to spexfox ->
It's hard out there for a McDuck #MillionaireSongs @midnight ->
I submitted an idea for what #Android should #NameAndroidN. Add your idea too! https://t.co/38j05nvw7g ->
RT @_ClayPot: https://t.co/GSunQwvOwH ->
We all knew this was going to happen. https://t.co/kQhNQG7lYW ->
@fuktwonk Judging by the speed of the improvements, probably FA's owners over at IMVU… in reply to fuktwonk ->

21.May.2016

Twiter Weekly Update 14.May.2016 – 20.May.2016

@spexfox And yet, he still is trailing @HillaryClinton in the total AND pledged delegate counts. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Keep beating the Goldman Sachs drum if you wish, it hasn't worked much where it counted. #DeadHorse in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox So is calling a security review a possible indictment in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Whatever way you slice it, it's going to end with no proof of intent on Hillary's part and the FBI will have egg on its face. Again in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox In national polls, which have statistically been shown to be an irrelevance used to energise the base constituencies. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox The purpose of superdelegates is actually to pick a candidate who will actually help candidates downticket in the general. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Every bit counts in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox No Trump POTUS is likely with both of 'em. Saying it's more likely with Sanders is like reducing total nukes to 100K from 1mil … in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox … all it does is determine how far and fast the rubble flies. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox It is a Cold War nuclear disarmament reference. All a reduction in nukes did between the US & USSR was change how far/fast it flew in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox The margin is a lot wider if you yank Rasmussen (which has been accused of being a GOP shill operation) out of the media poll avgs. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox With Trump such a ridiculous figure, you are going to see more Bernie supporters holding their nose & voting for her in the general in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox They said the same thing in 2012 about Mitt Romney beating Obama, and look what happened in the end. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Warren is too useful in the Senate to be picked. Also, it'd give the MA Republican the ability to pick her (temporary) replacement. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox She has committed to it in places where the standard of living demands it. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox in places where it doesn't (or can't) she is pushing for $12 in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox We also didn't have to rebuild our health systems from the ground up like most countries with single-payer healthcare had to. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox But we don't need single payer to fix that. Simple price controls for generic drugs & shorter patents are more than sufficient. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Then there are the inevitable service interruptions while we transition. Not a good thing when you have a parent with a brain tumor in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox In an ideal world where we could feasibly do this, then yes, single payer is best. Unfortunately, an ideal world this is not. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Considering we did have clusterfuck moving from the old 'gouge them and cut them' model to the current one, yes. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Where you call lost hope, I call pragmatism and learning to prioritize. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox While yes, single payer insurance is nice, but not when you have brown tap water. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox As it is on Hillary's in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox It's being paid for through closing the loopholes in carried interest &corporate taxes and enacting the Buffet Rule. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox And we have the tools to combat those already with the IRS Blacklist of tax evasion Facilitators in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox And you know why? Because he couldn't get her, Bill, or Chelsea tied directly to the Panama Papers. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Considering the Panama trade deal that was supported by the Obama Administration which she served, her choices were clear… in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox … resign or do her job in backing the deal. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox If this happened back when she was a Senator, then I would be more skeptical on this. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox I prefer to see it as having the back of the person she served at the pleasure of. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox In any case, this whole "trade deals are bad and anyone who backs them should be disqualified from running" argument is a fallacy in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Trade is what supports not just our economy, but most of them worldwide. Otherwise, we are all no better than North Korea. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox Trade deals have no good or bad. The only reason this deal is more than a blip on anyone's radar is due to the Papers in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox No it is on people's radars because Bernie can't tie her or Bill or Chelsea to the Papers directly. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox And because he is thumping the "trade deals are bad any anyone who supported a trade deal ever should never be President" drum hard in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Unfortunately, I have to disagree. Hillary is the best we have as a party to whom Sanders has no loyalties to. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox I like Bernie, & it is an agreeable sight to see him run, but the time is coming soon. If he wants to leave a legacy to the Dems… in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox …and leave a mark on policies in the general, he needs to take a good hard albeit fast) think between 7 June and the convention. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox Well he should take a good hard think and ask himself if he is fighting the wrong woman. in reply to spexfox ->
Guess which Democratic presidential campaign is being investigated by the FEC (Hint: it isn't Hillary Clinton's) https://t.co/ohkMe7zKOy ->
@spexfox Really, because I read it as "The Preachers of clean campaign money got caught coming out of the brothel" in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Still, his campaign is not doing it's job in regards to following the rules, whether through lack of staff or incompetence. in reply to spexfox ->
E:\Foxboy> NewPost.exe "Twiter Weekly Update 07.May.2016 – 13.May.2016" https://t.co/WUCYcR74wh ->
@spexfox Garland isn't going to get on the Supreme Court, unless the current .@POTUS can get him confirmed between Jan 6 & Jan 20 in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox He was selected for one reason only: to bait Republicans into blocking someone knowing full well he is qualified. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Once the Dem candidate wins in Nov., Garland will likely drop out or the nomination will expire & a better judge will be put up. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox They won't. McConnell has already said no hearings. It is a game of chicken, to be sure, but after the election,… in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox … with Trump the latest in a line of defeated Republicans, we'll have a better time of getting a progressive jurist on the court in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox I am not, but there are more and more pundits who're saying that states like MS/GA are becoming more in play & FL going to the Dems in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox With a candidate as deeply unpopular with the base as Trump, we have a golden opportunity to take back the House in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Actually these pundits said Trump was going to be the front runner for a while. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Also, check your Miitomo friend requests. There is one from me. ->
@spexfox Because it helps in Amiga game emulation. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox That is because it is an unholy abomination, and must be put to death in the prescribed manner before it dooms us all for eternity. in reply to spexfox ->
It may not be fish that it's eating, @Nuurbs … but it's still cute. https://t.co/beP1jALbzz ->
@spexfox The problem is what he said after that, where he tried to turn an unfortunate crime they experienced into a call for rule changes. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox He should have ended the statement with that condemnation. in reply to spexfox ->
My opinion on the events at the #nvdemconvention – when you resort to doxxing the convention chair after losing, you demean the whole party. ->
@spexfox Sorry, but putting out the chair's private cell no. & threatening her life is worse than anything a #Sandernista can accuse her of. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Adding to that, Sanders puts out a weak statement that tries to spin himself off as the victim,… in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox … Instead Democrats in NV & nationwide got caught looking like feuding inbreds when we should appear as the adults in the room in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox He still should have stopped there and addressed that point later. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Even so, everything after that 'but' is going to be used against the party by the GOP. He should have stopped at that condemnation. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox There were also Hillary supporters who were disqualified as well as the Sanders ones. All of them did not follow the rules. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Even when all was said and done his way, it would have only netted him 2 more delegates, and Clinton still would have won. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox I agree on that. But Sanders supporters created the greater injustice while combating injustice. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox There needs to be an apology to the chairwoman whose cell number was exposed to asshats who called in death threats. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox Sanders (or at least, his NV campaign leaders) should still apologize to the chair for the doxxing. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox It was a weak condemnation that should have been without the railing against the results of the state convention in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Because when it comes down to it, Sanders claims of shenanigans are falling on increasingly deaf ears https://t.co/XcFDhdlDa8 in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox He doesn't encourage people to follow the rules either. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Apparently the people running his operation in Nevada missed a few memos, otherwise there wouldn't be this mess. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Because they could not prove they were Democrats registered in Nevada since the deadline. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox All the questioned potential delegates needed to do was to provide a physical voter registration card. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox 8 of Sanders supporters did and we're seated. 59 Sanders supports and a handful of Clinton supporters could not. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox And they would not if their deadline (May 1) was after the caucuses (Feb 20) and county conventions (during April) in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox All in all, it basically makes me think: Boy I am glad my county convention was more civilized than anything out of Nevada in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox Any contentious moments at your county convention? in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Ours were a petition to move a change to the state party rules that was narrowly defeated, & 2 platform issues that were tabled in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Both debates were very cordial, and in the end, the person driving the petition was singled out for recognition by the chair in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox The only platform plank that was shot down was an extension of the school year to year round. Almost no one wanted that. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox It was a enjoyable experience all around. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
RT @ruskertweets: i have seen the future
it is a dark one https://t.co/f8NalGDTm5 ->
ATTN CA voters who want to vote @HillaryClinton – make sure you are registered by Mon. 5/23. Go here to register: https://t.co/wiU00gbTCJ ->
@spexfox I honestly think Bernie would try & put too high a price on his support and either offer backhanded support or go off and sulk… in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox … If enough Sandernistas follow Bernie's lead & stay home/vote 3rd party/etc. in November, that could hand America over to Trump in reply to biafrarepublic ->
RT @gatesfoundation: Don't have a red nose? That's ok! For every RT we'll donate $10 toward ending child poverty. #RedNose4Kids https://t.c… ->
@spexfox If i remember correctly, there should be python support available for MSYS in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox The next step unfortunately would be a VM. Fortunately, Oracle VirtualBox is a decent enough piece VM software, and it is free. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox A cheap intel Chromebook might be an option if you don't mind it being cramped on the hdd/sdd/etc. in reply to spexfox ->
