Except Trump's famous "They're eating cats and dogs" line came from JD Vance. The craziest part of the debate wasn't even Trump's to fully own. JD Vance quite possibly is worse than Trump in regards to likability.
So if Trump drops out, who the fuck in the Republican field replaces him? Ron Desantis?
That Abdul situation completely surprised me. I can't believe how bad a flub that was.
That's what I'll be meming moving forward. Not only did Trump admit to working with the Taliban, he made up fake people while doing so.
There's a lot to pick out here.
My favorite personally (as a Neocon) is Trumps utter flubbing of the Afghanistan question. Harris criticized Trumps handling of Afghanistan by inviting the fucking Taliban to Camp David.... While Trump talked about imaginary Taliban members he talked with.
Who the fuck is Abdul?
Trump not only admitted to working with the Taliban directly, but was so fucking braindead he couldn't even remember the name of the guy he invited to Camp David. This is going to be my meme.
But it doesn't matter what moment you meme. What matters is that you MUST meme these moments and spread them far and wide. We will consolidate on what works afterwards.
We need to get ahead of this. In a few short hours, maybe just a day or two, they will consolidate support around Trump again.
Our job is to meme the best lines of Trump's insanity as much as possible, and spread the message far and wide. Trump is easily manipulated by Kamala. Trump's only leaders he respected tonight were Venezuela and Hungary / Orban. I dunno, I'm bad with memes. But you all get the gist.
/r/conservative will get itself together shortly. But we need to spike the football tonight.
Any sane member of society not in a cult remembers.
No. There's plenty of people who forgot, and more importantly, plenty of 18-year-olds (or younger) who were not yet politically awake when that happened. That was over 6 years ago, when these 18-year-olds were 12 and not even in high-school yet.
Its our job to meme Kamala's response to this. Kamala brought it up in today's debate, and we now need to teach the world about her response. Direct from her mouth.
And we also need to meme Donald Trump's insane response to the Camp David discussion point. The young voters won't learn unless we teach it to them.
And there's plenty of ~16 to 25 year olds who are "only waking up politically today", who need to be shown this history and context.
I’d give you a length explanation about statistical methodology and validity, but I’d rather not to that unsolicited, lol.
I know how complex it is.
I'm approximately college-level statistics. But my sister is literally PH.d level in health-statistics (or more precisely: public health) and worked at the CDC and today works for FDA. Trust me, I get plenty of the advanced discussions / paradoxes / autocorrelation / etc. etc. stuff. So I know I'm out of my league in the overall matter, and that I'm oversimplifying.
This needs to get memed and shared everyfucking where.
This is it people. We need to meme this debate. Otherwise, the fucking Republicans will forget this shit.
11 leaned Harris, 10 leaned Trump. And yet, 22 of them said Kamala won the debate, and only 2 of them (obviously "leans Trump") said Trump won.
Participants were recruited from a spring survey conducted by The Post and the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University. In the week before the debate, 12 said they would probably vote for Harris, 10 said they would probably vote for Trump, and three said they were unlikely to vote for either.
24 isn't a very large poll, but this is an outstanding result. I'm pretty sure 91.6% Kamala vs 8.4% Trump is outside statistical error even with such a small sample size.
Kamala did good tonight people. Its a celebration night. But the next weeks its our job as debate watchers to meme and fuck up the Republican talking points and pain-points in their discussions.
Remember the pain points: "I have a concept of a plan", "Tim and I are gun owners, no one is taking your guns away", and the fucking nonsense Donald Trump did to defend himself when he invited the literal fucking Taliban to Camp. David.
Not everyone saw the debate. And even those who have seen the debate will have selective memory and forget about these moments. Its our job as the audience to remind people what they're trying to hard to forget. That Donald Trump is a weak loser and Kamala put him in his place tonight.
Thank fucking God that Kamala knew she had to be the first person to bring up Fentanyl in the debate. It was a bit round-about, but she got there and made sure to make the first strike early.
Its not quite a policy platform, but it counts. She's recognized the importance of appearances on this very, very important matter.
Whether you agree with me or not, I think I can trust Kamala on it. I figured I should get back to you after I saw that moment in the debate early.
Maybe it is in the benefit of Harris given his rambling but I don’t know.
Its absolutely to the benefit of Harris.
All these comments were likely what was pushing Biden down and distracting Biden when Trump's mic was off. Now that the mic remains on, Trump is clearly the one trying to fuck up Kamala. But she's much quicker on the uptake and can judo-throw him off of her. The mic makes it obvious when Trump is attempting to distract.
Neocons have lost power to the Tea Party yo.
You're pretending like Paul Ryan didn't stand up to the Tea Part and get deposed. Or McCain get discredited as Trump rose up.
But sure, forget our political struggle at your own peril. You need us this election.
Two party system. The only real action Neocons have is to vote Republican or Democrat. Democrats are very much against our values (abortion, and historically Democrats were stupidly antiwar and this wouldn't have supported Ukraine. But I'm glad to see Democrats turn around on that. Etc. etc). But there's a lot of alignment now if you wish to take advantage.
Neocons are a subgroup of the Republican base you 100% should be trying to switch over. It's politically stupid to ignore this opportunity.
Just working on my recent electronics project and I needed two temperature sensors for it. This time around I didn't feel like making a full PCB from KiCAD and wanted to keep things simple with a 1/2 size solderable breadboard.
As usual, I'm using an AVR DD (this time: a curiosity nano devboard) for simplicity. (I expect to need the 32768 Hz clock crystal, so a PCB with said clock would be nice. Otherwise, the DIP package is available). The overall circuit is pretty simple, but the topic of discussion today is the MCP970X series temperature sensor.

At this point I do recommend people to read the documentation.
The gist is that you simply apply 3.1V to 5.5V between Vdd and Gnd. Vout will have some amount of startup time, and eventually output 400mV + (Temperature-in-C * 19.5mV). For example, my room temperature is ~24C right now and the voltage output is ~920mV.
(There's clearly errors in my ADC but I'm saving that for later... this device is supposed to be outputting 876mV given the room's temperature)
With a ~6uA expected current, this device is power-efficient enough to run from most MCU pins. AVR DD's 50mA-per-pin is overkill, but more importantly, a through-hole design like mine seemingly has substantial inductance on all wires.
The datasheets claim a startup time of 0.8ms. Alas, when I soldered on the MCP9701 and turned on the GPIO-pin, it took over 20ms (!!!) before the oscillating signal finally calmed down and settled upon the room temperature reading.
To counteract this parasitic inductance, I've added a 10kOhm resistor and a 10nF capacitor out of my through-hole kit. (E12 resistor kit and E6 capacitor kit). With 220us of startup time now on the GPIO pin and with only 500uA max current going to Vdd... there is no more "ringing" anymore and life is good!
EDIT: I should probably note that my goal was to return to 0.8ms startup time, like the documents suggest. 10kOhm was chosen as 500uA (5V) to 250uA (after charging to 2.5V) is a magnitude more current than I need and is a decent starting point. 10nF was chosen to pair-up with this to give me startup time in the 100us range but not over 800us (I don't want to be "slowed down" by the charging capacitor, so I want the Vdd charge to be faster than 800us claimed startup time). It should be noted that a 5V over 1000us curve was claimed as a 800us startup in the MCP970x documents if you read all the graphs.
Moving forward, my last task is that of calibration. The on-board ADC of the AVR DD is apparently quite accurate, but the Vref of the microcontroller is +/-4% (!!). With a +/- 2% accuracy of the temperature sensor, there is some calibration I should do.
The ADC errors + Vref errors are expected to just be linear. The temperature-sensor's error is quadratic however. In both cases, I don't want to overcomplicate things, so I'm planning on just adding a constant-offset to the mV reading to shift it to the correct spot.
All in all: pretty standard Analog-to-digital conversion issues here. But I figured it'd be a good discussion topic for beginners.
