I don't understand this map, I live very close to the coast and am 20+ feet above sea level. 5 meters is 16' 4.85".

The highest point in Pinellas county is 110', for those who don't know, it's the peninsula on West Coast of Florida.

I'm not under the impression there will be a consistent land mass, but something more resembling new islands, keys and beach fronts makes more sense than showing areas entirely underwater.

Assuming this isn't an attempt at trolling, Trump ran up the deficit nearly double that of Biden. Given that the argument is generally government spending leads to inflation, how exactly would that not indicate who is more responsible for inflationary costs?

I e been espousing #2 for years.... Companies used to actually train and invest in their employees, now it's all about poaching someone else from some other company rather than training and promoting within.

They need these every block in Miami. I absolutely cannot comprehend how some people don't see Trump is a dictator. Left, right, center, it doesn't matter, a dictator is a dictator and no political ideology is safe from them..

The people here are such fucking morons... Yes, let's ban WIND POWER, literally one of the oldest forms of clean energy generation. I swear if I didn't have family here I'd be gone.

The simple solution is not to rely upon AI. It's like a misinformed relative after a jar of moonshine, they might be right some of the time, or they might be totally full of shit.

I honestly don't know why people are obsessed with relying on AI, is it that difficult to look up the answer from a reliable source?

I have news for you, as an old millennial, it's not just G Zers.

Don't actually bring up reasonable topics, people might get outraged.

I've been trying for quite some time to understand what drives the social outrage Zeitgeist, at the moment much of it seems like TikTok.

I have to tell you, I know many intelligent people that have succumbed to propaganda, and outrage porn addiction. I see it continue to happen on all sides of the political isle. (This isn't a both sides kind of statement, simply acknowledgement that the same tactics work on our brain, indifferent of political ideology.)

Whether they are hooked on the dopamine rush of rage baiting up votes, likes or comments; or only seeing everything in the world through a myopic lens of negativity, it has captured many of my friends and family, including myself for a time.

For some their drug is Fox News, others it's Reddit, Facebook or TikTok, the results are often the same.

I have yet to figure out a manner in which to communicate with individuals who spend considerable amounts of time in echo chambers, constantly having their personal beliefs reinforced. Evasion of cognitive dissonance and social conflict are very powerful psychological motivations. I wish I knew the solution.

Now that we have a six week abortion ban, with abortion on the ballot as a state constitutional amendment, and one for legalized recreational marijuana, there is a very significant chance for Florida to be in play.

Many people here are very upset with the state of insurance, especially homeowners. The Biden campaign just came out and said they will be targeting Florida to flip it.

Every vote will count, remember a few thousand votes gave us Rick Scott, we have a chance to remove him as well. There's a lot at stake this year.

Given the reality that Linux simply isn't viable for some people (including myself), I highly recommend using this tool.

https://christitus.com/windows-tool/

Between this, and manually uninstalling a lot of bloat (or using a specific type of windows install) and a few other tweaks, windows becomes significantly more usable.

Disabling garbage in the task bar, removing Cortana and indexing services, etc etc, it can also add a fairly decent uplift in performance.

I'm sure there is still telemetry being collected but significantly less and less impact on my user experience and day to day performance.

Oh and make sure you turn off auto/feature updates!
