    So our choice is a lying narcissist or a past his prime standard politician

    It is just a shame there was no clear consensus candidate to take the reins.

    Very true, but I do worry about the low information voter.

    So our choice is a lying narcissist or a past his prime standard politician

    Easy to understand all the freaking out that is going on. Gotta wonder how the Biden team ever thought this debate was a good idea.

    Ever heard of movement conservatism? It is a new term to me. Apparently William F.Buckley was big in it but then got more normal.

    It pains me now to think that Reagan suckered me in. But thankfully not for long. I blame the double digit inflation that poor Carter suffered through.

    Ever heard of movement conservatism? It is a new term to me. Apparently William F.Buckley was big in it but then got more normal.

    First heard about it from a very good book, Democracy Awakening, by Heather Cox Richardson. Then went into the Wikipedia article on it. The more history I read the more various links between things become apparent. Fun stuff. Like the same Roger stone type characters have been at work for...

    Surprise news story title: “North Idaho has drifted to the extreme right…”

    Ok, ok. Once you open it it also says “One Republican thinks it’s hit its limit”. But in a way that is almost as surprising! https://apple.news/AmwGhZa75RZGwjqj4bJx53A

    So why did Biden suddenly take a page from Trump’s playbook with tariffs?

    I prefer “low volume” account. Anandtech was about my first forum and I have always liked it here! My main forum prohibits polytics so I thought I would dip my toe in the water here. Good responses to this thread 🧵 so it is working out so far! (uh, either this site or my phone is suggesting...

    So why did Biden suddenly take a page from Trump’s playbook with tariffs?

    Seems like it came out of nowhere. And won’t it contribute to inflation? I am confused.

    RFK Jr. Had Dead Worm in His Brain

    Yes, I did notice the about face from Trump. But I think both sides have reason to worry about this guy tipping the election.

    RFK Jr. Had Dead Worm in His Brain

    But that damn name will surely suck in many low-information otherwise Biden or non-voters. Could very well decide the election. :oops:

    Very interesting story on Susan Wiles in Politico

    Sounds like she is the brains behind Trump’s campaign. I have no idea how she had remained so low profile. First I ever heard off her.

    The joys of being retired

    I am having trouble deciding. I am 68 and could financially, but some days I love my job and some days I wonder why I am still there. I LOVE doing nothing, but even so, I might be like the dog that finally catches the car! And who can't use more money? I am hanging out until something...

    The open primary does not seem to make a lot of sense to me

    So I guess the ostensible point of it is to get the two most popular candidates on the ballot. But why restrict it to two, if I am understanding the California one properly?

    Anyone use a CPAP machine?

    So here nine years later I have been using CPAP for a few years and I love it now. It took some time to get used to, but now I use it all the time. If I forget to put it back on after getting up in the middle of the night, the quality of sleep is so terrible that I soon wake up and put it back...

    Has anyone here read Ezra Klein’s book “Why We’re Polarized?”

    Yeah, I don’t think he is making many friends by leading the panic over Biden's age.

    Has anyone here read Ezra Klein’s book “Why We’re Polarized?”

    Mainly the in-affordability of housing for young and not very affluent people, and we drive too much.

    Has anyone here read Ezra Klein’s book “Why We’re Polarized?”

    It is pretty good IMNSHo. He makes the point that the the media is focused on identity politics. I guess there must be an identity “Let’s fix this shit” that we should unite on.

    For classic stuff, The Jayhawks. For new, Moustapha Noumbissi. Just saw Garbage in concert this weekend and loved it!

    Long shot but anyone use a baby bike seat with their kid?

    I used a rear seat for awhile but found all that weight up high was not good for stability. I see a burley trailer with both my daughters for years. In retrospect probably not safe enough on the roads so I doubt I would do that again. So no good answer from me!

    So there are no standard or canned avatars anymore?

    I am showing my age, but my user name is based on the old cartoony avatars that used to be standard here. I went to edit my profile and custom was the only option. Are you forcing me to be creative? :oops:

    Wow - this forum has been here a long long time!

    Help getting Citrix Receiver to run on Lubuntu 18.04 LTS please - trust a certificate?

    So I can see this certificate and it is not expired, but how can I trust it, if indeed that is what I need to do? I don; tsee any option like that. This is with Firefox 107.0 for Canonical 1.0. I tried running the Pale Moon browser but I can't do that either! Thanks!

    Do you think they extended the deadline for amended federal tax returns due April 15?

    Hmm, ok, that sounds good! I hope that is what they mean, although it would have been more straightforward for them just to say that the deadline has been extended for 1040X. At the very least, if they deny it, I should have good grounds for appeal in that my request for a copy was most likely...

    Do you think they extended the deadline for amended federal tax returns due April 15?

    No, I would get money back. But it is not really an unclaimed refund, the amended return would give me a refund.

    Do you think they extended the deadline for amended federal tax returns due April 15?

    Suspended during the Covid disaster. :( Thanks, but man, is that obtuse! Sadly, neither 1040X nor 1040-X are explicitly called out, like 1040 is. There is one mention of "amended", but it sounds like some special case. A glimmer of hope is pretty dim.

    Do you think they extended the deadline for amended federal tax returns due April 15?

    The new date is July 15 for 2019 returns, but nowhere can I find if that also applies to the three year deadline for a 2016 amended return. I can see arguments for either way but it sure would be nice to actually know! I suppose I can see if the IRS answers the phone AND has a correct answer...

    Do you think they extended the deadline for amended federal tax returns due April 15?

    Thanks. I'll give it a try, and fill out the 2016 form with the info I have from a 2016 transcript that was free and timely. But with them being a bureaucracy, I am expecting resistance!

    Do you think they extended the deadline for amended federal tax returns due April 15?

    I can't find any mention of it. Amended returns have a three year deadline, but there is a slight chance they could have extended it to match the regular deadline. I have a distrurbing problem - you need a copy of the original to file with the amended return, and I don't have one, so I...

    IPhone 6s Plus freezing

    I noticed today that a very light touch is sometimes required when it locks up, so it could be a touch screen issue as opposed to a locking up issue. This would fit with how the 3D Touch was terrible and things improved a lot ever since I turned that off.

    Solved! After restoring to a new SSD, it only boots once - after that, it fails shortly into the Windows 7 boot in a continuous cycle

    Oh well, even if I can't seem to get Windows to boot up on the SSD, at least the ancient computer with a dog slow processor and only 2 GB of memory runs fantastically with Puppy Linux. That dog slow hard drive was killing it!

    IPhone 6s Plus freezing

    An old iPhone in mint condition started freezing up a few months ago. So it seems that the latest iOS updates could be the culprit. It is totally up to date. I’ve been trying to isolate the problem with no luck so far. At times it just seems like it is totally bogged down, like a computer that...

    Solved! After restoring to a new SSD, it only boots once - after that, it fails shortly into the Windows 7 boot in a continuous cycle

    Yeah, I think I’ll try installing just Linux for now. The change is sticking though. But the registry had a 3 in it this restore, so I changed to 0 but it made no difference. I always seem to be stuck in The Twilight Zone!

    Question Network drive mapping stops working after a week

    On a server 2016 machine, a drive mapping in a batch file stops working with an error 8, not enough storage available to process the command. The mapping is to a netapp file server, and I think the problem started when the netapp was either upgraded or installed as a replacement for something...
