Obama performed notably better by any standardised measure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_app... This, of course, grinds the incumbent's gears more than …

I wouldn’t be surprised if it performs adequately in this context —- isn’t the manufacturer a VOIP device maker? The reality is that they spam the market with a large number of pro…

How are we still in a world where there are breathless, hand-waving blog posts written about the theoretical potential of super-fast SBCs for which the manufacturer shows fuck all …

I believe I know an immune-compromised adult who was taking anti-parasitics for more than two years due to workplace (care context) reinfections. I say “believe” because these are …

I am no expert but my take on this is: FreeCAD is obviously not a commercial grade CAD package, but it’s not because it is weak conceptually: it’s not dissimilar to Solidworks, Ons…

This is… an insane argument. But just the idea that Bill Barr gives a shit what liberals think makes me laugh.

It wasn't his actual birth certificate! It was the short form!

You miss my point. This is a list of people engaging in something flat-out corrupt . The ballroom is an inherently corrupt project. It will prove to be simple corruption.
