Or just click the link and get in a few hours of a cyber security seminar. It can be a chance from your regular job.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as vegan, is in fact, GNU/vegan, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus vegan.

I know you are kidding, but after the failed Steam Machines, the Steam deck has made people realize that gaming on Linux is mostly viable. Microsoft has pissed me off enough with windows 11, that I have decided to switch to Linux as my main OS on desktop as well.

As a 45 year old father on steam, I welcome this change.

"My interview with Elon was the biggest interview ever. Many people were watching, so many people that X, it was to be called twitter, but not anymore, its now called X, couldn't even handle all the viewers.
A lot of people still call it Twitter nowadays, have you ever noticed? But they should call it X, as it is now called X, but they still call it twitter which is not accurate.
My good friend Elton Music, who is the owner of X, which was called twitter in the past, and he has tremendous infrastructure. Such great infrastructure over there, genius mind my friend Ellen Must has, but it still couldn't handle all the viewers wanting to watch Eileen interview me."

I'm not from the US, either. But from what i understand, the issues comes from the US having a "first past the post" voting system on a state level. The President is not elected by the percentage of votes, but each of the 50 states gets assigned a number of electors, based on their population. When a party/candidate has won the majority of votes within a state, they will receive all the electoral votes of that state.

Here's a simplified example of how that works: Let's assume 3 states with an equal ammount of inhabitants (let pop=1 million) and an equal ammount of electoral votes (let el=10)

State 1 has:
600.000 votes for candidate A (60%)
400.000 votes for candidate B (40%)

State 2 has:
200.000 votes for candidate A (20%)
800.000 votes for candidate B (80%)

State 3 has:
510.000 votes for candidate A (51%)
490.000 votes for candidate B (49%)

candidate A has received a total of 1.310.000 votes (~44%)
candidate B has received a total of 1.690.000 votes (~56%)
candidate B has won the popular vote, because most people voted for them.

However, candidate A won the majority in States 1 and 3. So candidate A will receive all 20 electoral votes of those states (which they won by only a comparitively small margin), whereas candidate B will receive only 10 from State 2 (which they won by a landslide).
As a result, candidate A will become the next president.

What's so bad about being a personality hire?

I know I am ugly as fuck and not rich, so if someone were to be with me, because of my personality, i'd consider this a win.

as a tire enthusiast, I can certainly see the intended joke, but it falls flat on it's face as it should be quite obvious to anyone that this thread pattern is not from a Goodyear tire, but quite clearly Pirelli. 🤓
