Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Yeah because the groovy white guy everybody fell in love with kicked Ted Cruz’s oh wait no.

She can run if she wants to and if she wins the primary your job is to shut the fuck up and support the shit out of her.

“Senior House Dem“ probably just voted to confirm a Trump judge. STFU.
Jasmine Crockett’s Senate bid is infuriating some colleagues.

“She might win a primary, but she ain't winning a general in Texas," said a senior House Dem.

Another House Dem told @axios.com: “Just look to see how many House members endorse her candidacy.” www.axios.com/2025/12/12/j...

Gov Abbott REFUSED & deflected when asked "Governor, what are your plans to reduce the maternal and infant mortality rates since the Heartbeat Bill?" @ his visit in Fort Worth,TX. Basically denying and ignoring the catastrophic effect post passage of the bill.

It seems that I can't get Optimized Locking working in SQL Server 2025: the UPDATE statement still triggers a Lock Escalation (still X-lock on OBJECT), which shouldn't be the case when OL is enabled. The example from learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/re... works without any problems.... Ideas?

I had a fantastic month of gaming in November! I went to BGGCON and played many great games including Luthier, Galctic Cruise, Deckers and the Voynich Puzzle. But I purchased the Voidfall Galactic Box at the bazaar and played it this weekend and it was soooo good!

Judges need to start throwing some of these DOJ clowns in jail for contempt.
Beyond depraved: "Hours after her detainment, court documents obtained by ABC News show that a federal judge ordered the government not to remove the 19-year-old from the U.S. and not to transfer her outside of Massachusetts. But Lopez Belloza was deported to Honduras the next day."

For the 1st time all year, Dems were riding high & the regime was on the ropes. If Senate leadership’s goal was to demobilize& depress rank&file Dems, they could'nt have played their cards better.

This is why we’ve launched the largest primary program that we’ve ever run.⬇️

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!
