You are making the mistake that people understand how our government works or are paying much attention at all. I've video of some voters blaming Biden for the overturn of Roe v Wade because it happened during Biden's term. If voters were properly informed across the board Biden, and most democrats, would win in a landslide. There are many active forces, foreign and domestic, which put serious effort and money into deliberately misinforming the populace, because they are incredibly selfish, and care only for their personal gain, regardless of how many are harmed, and to what degree.
Elon, a free speech absolutist, who also believes that AI will be hyper intelligent in the very near future, probably doesn't want to infringe on the potentially sentient AI's free speech. Or he simply doesn't care about the truth and has understaffed Twitter to the point that there is no one available to handle these issues.
Plenty of "idiots" outside the age range of 18-25, should we restrict them as well? How would we determine who is qualified to vote? Any other rights provided by the constitution you'd like to alter while we're at it? What other responsibilities available 18-25 year olds would you like to restrict? The draft, driving a vehicle, taking out loans, ...? Perhaps they shouldn't be allowed to choose their own clothing, what food they eat, ...
Adjusting the reported inflation rate +/- 0.1% from ~3.0%, representing a ~3% change in the rate, 30 days after initial reporting doesn't seem particularly suspect or unusual or suggest that the initial numbers aren't to be trusted. 95%+ accuracy is pretty accurate.
I’m talking about the monthly numbers mentioning December. Many have been revised +0.1% or -0.1% when they start at .1 to .5% excluding expected numbers.
Yearly is something entirely different but it was expected to be +2.9% yet we saw 3.1% over 12 months. January was expected +0.2% and saw +0.3%
I'm guessing the line of reasoning is being convicted of a crime would create irreparable reputational harm, even if that conviction was reversed due to a valid immunity claim. Polling shows that a large % of Trump voters wouldn't vote for him if convicted, so, I'm sure that is a pretty easy argument to make.
Delaying to avoid a trial is the entire point. Luckily the courts have been pretty responsive in this case to this point. Voters deserve to know the disposition of this case prior to the election.
> Polling shows that a large % of Trump voters wouldn't vote for him if convicted
That surprised me. Turns out most trump voters would still vote for trump if he were convicted of a crime (and even if he were sentenced to prison for a crime), but 46% said they wouldn't which is still a large percentage.
I'd take those numbers with a grain of salt. The facts of what he did are well known, and it's hard for me to believe that a judge deciding that they amount to a crime really changes all that much.
If he is convicted, he'll be able to say "See, look how Biden's deep state is repressing me, and by extension you." I suspect a large fraction of that 46% will say, "Sure, he's a convicted criminal, but he's still better than the Democrat".
It also appears they've dropped the memory bandwidth from 200GB/s on the M1/M2 Pro to 150MB/s on the M3 Pro, and you have to upgrade to the tippy top M3 Max chip to get the full 400MB/s bandwidth experienced on the M1/M2 Max chips.
I remember getting one of those shiny aluminum MacBooks in 2009. Then MacBooks turned plastic and the aluminum ones became MacBook Pro's. Is this a thing Apple does? I'm not an Apple customer for many years now.
What you described as a transition to plastic for the MacBook was actually the final iteration of a fairly long line of plastic MacBooks, most of which were a pretty similar design to the pre-Intel iBook.
"MacBook" (not Pro) was plastic from the start, and introduced the same year as the MacBook Pro (always aluminum): 2006. The plastic MacBook was discontinued after the 2010 model. There was a one-off aluminum 13" MacBook in 2008, but it coexisted with the plastic MacBook and was not replaced by a plastic model—instead, the 13" model was promoted up to the MacBook Pro product line, which previously had been just 15" and 17".
After several years of not having a plain MacBook, Apple did the 12" aluminum MacBook from 2015 to 2017. It was basically what they wished the MacBook Air could be, but was too expensive and too thermally constrained to truly replace the MacBook Air of the time. It was killed when they finally upgraded the MacBook Air to have a Retina display.
