A democratic leader needs to accurately represent their constituents and surround themselves with knowledgeable experts. No matter how well-schooled someone is, no one person can know everything involved in running a country.

Guess it was a bad time to download more RAM
Fuck, me too.
Huh, TIL!
A jet engine is a type of reaction engine, discharging a fast-moving jet of heated gas (usually air) that generates thrust by jet propulsion.
Gentoo? With 4GB of RAM? That sounds like a challenge!
I'm far from being the meme police, but I don't think this is the template you're looking for 🤣
Not that this is significantly better (or even funny), but this is a bit closer to how the template works:
The idea is that the cheeto represents a lazy or poor attempt at preventing whatever is coming in the top panel.
Huh? Is this implying that first past the post is a flimsy defense against an upcoming conservative majority?
It's also 36 years old. I think we can cut it some slack 🤣
Hey, IRC was federated before federation was cool.

Let me preface this by saying I'm pretty anticapitalist, but I think the idea is that you create a new product or expand into a new industry. You can maintain growth for a long time that way.
I literally switched to Racoon because of that post. Is it a community project now, and if so, link?
Yeah, that feels like a really weird choice.
D. Richard Hipp designed SQLite in the spring of 2000 while working for General Dynamics on contract with the United States Navy.
Well today I learned!
There is one "inherent use" (if I'm understanding that term correctly) of bitcoin, and that's to pay for space in blocks. Again, that only gives bitcoin value if people want to use bitcoin, so take that as you will.
So... That isn't exactly true. You're correct that there's a limit to the total and circulating number of coins, but if the world suddenly decides 1 BTC = US$0, it doesn't matter if there are less coins tomorrow than today. Both days, each coin is still worth zero.
All that to say, there's no guarantee that a bitcoin's value will increase over time.
A penny saved is still a penny saved. I'm not saying it would amount to much, but it is non-zero.
Bill s-210: Watch porn? This bill will put you on a list.
🚨LAST CHANCE! Soon the House of Commons will do a last vote on #BillS210, a dangerous proposal that locks up the Internet and sacrifices our privacy. Email your MP to say NO to extreme S-210 - via @OpenMediaOrg openmedia.org/NoInternetLock
The House of Commons is days from passing Bill S-210, a dangerously broad age verification bill that would put an age lock on most of Canada's Internet and threaten every Canadian’s privacy.

Anyone running Pathfinder Society (or other tabletop RPGs?)
Hey Ottawa! Bit of a long shot, but does anyone here know of a Pathfinder Society playgroup in town? I'd love to find one to join. Thanks!
Mk3s+ fails part way through detailed prints
Hey !prusa, maybe you can help me. I have a self-assembled Mk3s+ that I put together about a year ago, but never really used because of the following problem.
If I print on draft quality, it makes it through most prints. I've printed a dozen cubes, several brackets, and some other odds and ends.
If I try to print on higher detail settings, however, it behaves very strangely. Most often it'll just hang, and keep oozing out more plastic. Once in a while, the steppers will keep turning and ram the bed or print head against the ends of their tracks.
I've tried updating and downgrading the firmware, different SD cards, etc. to no avail. Support hasn't been much help either.
Any ideas?

Education minister believes “parents must be fully involved” if their child chooses to use a different pronoun at school
Ontario’s education minister said he believes “parents must be fully involved” if their child chooses to use a different pronoun at school.
Ontario’s education minister said he believes “parents must be fully involved” if their child chooses to use a different pronoun at school.
The comments were made at a news conference on Monday morning, where Stephen Lecce was outlining the changes students and parents can expect at Ontario schools come September.
They also come as Saskatchewan adopts a new gender and pronoun policy, joining New Brunswick in legislating parental consent for students under the age of 16 who want to change their given names and/or pronouns at school.
“I think we understand though that parents must be fully involved and fully aware of what's happening in the life of their children,” Lecce said.
“I mean, often there are health implications, and I think we have to respect the rights of parents and recognize that these can be life-changing decisions, and I think parents want to be involved so that they can support their kids. And I think that's a really important principle that we must uphold.
