With polls still showing President Biden in a tight race with Donald Trump, looking merely at the polling can be disheartening. The fact is, there's good reason to be cautiously optimistic looking ahead to November. In today's The Big Picture, writer Jay Kuo breaks down his Top 10 Reasons why we should all feel hopeful about Biden's chances. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/10-reasons-optimistic-biden-2024

@georgetakei

Biden has almost the same policies as Trump.

He's willing to sell the environment down the river, because he thinks he can buy off the unions with tariffs.

In reality, these tariffs will result in inflation, making the Democrats less popular than ever, even if he manages to get re-elected.

The world is burning. Can't we have even one world leader who gets that?

My theory is that people who are closer to their rural roots tend to put the paper down the back.

When TP was invented in the 1890s, people in the outback were mostly using outhouses. Those sheds are small. If you put the roll with the paper on the outside, you will have paper in your lap. So instead you put it so that the paper goes down the side of the wall.

When those homes later installed inside flush toilets, people kept their old habits, running the paper along the wall.

@georgetakei

Each open tab is sucking up memory and cpu cycles. If you notice your machine slowing down, that could be why.

You can get the OneTab extension that will pop all your open tabs into one tab and close the tabs. Then later just open the ones you need.

So instead of saving them as an open tab you never look at, you can save them under one tab, Which you also never look at.

@georgetakei

For articles, there are services like Pocket or Omnivore (open source).

These not only save your url, but they typically format your page for readability, removing adverts, standardising the fonts, and applying a dark theme.

This allows you to stash an article and then read it during down-time (like on a commute or during a dull meeting.)

Some services will even read articles to you, so you can "read" the article while exercising or driving.

    I thought Vulcans had blue blood?

    Which makes sense, because that would mean their blood was copper-based, not iron-based.

    This is not impossible -- horseshoe crabs have blue, copper-based, blood.
