Feeling like a 1 lately. Everything is happening all at once, so instead of becoming a 2, I've become very scatterbrained

That's extremely dependent on the use case, but in my opinion, generally no. However CAMM has been released as an official JEDEC interface and does a good job at being a middle ground between repairability and speed.

If you allocate it right, you can add 200GB of swap space and then that 4GB of RAM will feel like 408GB!

There are real world performance benefits to ram being as close as possible to the CPU, so it's not entirely without merit. But that's what CAMM modules are for.

That's my point. A billionaire owner can be functionally retired while still being "employed". A worker who's 65 years old cannot.

Capitalism forces even the unwilling to participate. It's a matter of fact that the only way to afford a retirement in the last 50 years as a worker is to invest in private capital. I already want to see the total annihilation of coerced labor, I don't want to work for my entire life.

I cannot functionally tell the difference from doing 2 hours of work at a Hampton vacation home and being retired. So I would say "not necessarily".

Retired people are generally working class too. Unless the person owns/owned a large corporation, that is.

When presidents start condemning your protests, you're probably fighting for a good cause.

Hey, A plus on finding a start! Names, regiments, and other details in the post give me a lot of stuff to work with

Edit: I already have a lead since they referenced the buffalo soldiers in the hashtags

Edit 2: the picture is legit! The Smithsonian Institute has it in their online archive. It's too late for me to verify most of the other claims in the post, but this picture, and more importantly this person, was real. Also, definitely read about Lt. Aaron Fisher. He was a great leader, stifled by systemic racism and still managed to achieve great things at Saint Die.

I wonder which regiment he was in. There were only 2 black combat divisions from the US, a vast majority of black troops were forced into support roles.

Edit: with a little help and a bit of digging, I was able to determine that he served in the 366th regiment of the segregated 92nd Division, also known as the Buffalo Soldiers.

"Pajeet" is racist as fuck. We can hate scammers without being racist.

 

Classic Jacobin, several months late on important news /s

Seriously though, while the article primarily focuses on the rule change from last year, the backdrop is necessary to cover what seems to be the first case since the rule was established. It can never be understated how important this NLRB ruling actually is. The laws still need to be updated to reflect modern union busting tactics, but this ruling is still crucial. The Cemex ruling restores part of what's known as "Joy Silk" doctrine, which was a major factor in the huge boom of unions from the 1940's through 1968. The casino is "considering it's options". I hope that means they cement the rule.

I don't think this is actually about needing to pay wages, I believe that the real target is the fast food worker council that was created to make these changes. I think they're going for a tried and true method to gain conservative sympathy, but Republicans are self-segregating away from California and their political influence is waning in the state.

To start for anyone that may be concerned by the title, I've always considered myself an ally and I've supported both family and friends when they came out to me. I've always known that it takes a lot of trust for someone to come out like that, and I want to be the friend that they feel safe to talk with about that stuff.

I'm autistic, and I've recently started my journey of understanding that, my gender, and my sexuality. I've suspected since college that I was ace, and finally understood that about myself in the last few months. I made the first public message ever referring to myself as queer in a casual setting as a passing comment today which honestly felt a little strange, but already feels natural.

What I need help with understanding, is why should I actively tell my friends and family about it? The way I see it, I've always been this way and nothing will change in me between now and 10 seconds after I say something. I don't think of it as hiding anything either, I think of it as me being me. Why do others feel the need to share with people close to them?
