I'm an accountant.

The best accounting software will be the one your accountant uses.

When clients are on the same platform that I use internally everything just matches up and it's beautiful and elegant and amazing.

When clients are using something else it just doesn't fit our workflows and it's just more of a fuck around, which of course the client gets charged for.

I've been flip flopping on this over the last 48 hours.

I can't dispute that Joe doesn't seem fit for another presidency.

That said, it sounds like it's really up to Biden and the First Lady to decide to withdraw before anything will happen.

In the mean time, this discussion isn't helping progressive voters. Trump will preside over an irreversible lurch to the right. Progressives need to unite behind a candidate - anyone the faintest pulse will do.

you can either a) reward them for moving left or b) punish them for moving right

You're talking about the political will of a nation as you would training a puppy. It's incredibly reductive and simply not how the overton window works.

If the republicans win the next several elections the democrats will move further to the right to try to steal votes off them. The republicans will have to move further to the right to differentiate themselves from the democrats.

Not surprisingly, the more republicans win elections the further right everything moves.

Your position is exactly where the conservatives would have you. They can't win your vote so their best outcome is to convince you not to vote.

I feel like the left is kinda cannibalising itself.

The right has fielded a candidate who will end democracy, and we can't even unite against them.

This is about as witty as a box of rocks, just like it was when it was invented in 2007.

This isn't a hill I care enough to die on.

I've never bought a series in any format. It's always been piracy and for at least the last 5 years catch and release.

What I mean is, I don't want to keep series in any case.

That said, now I think about it, if I didn't pirate everything then keeping copies of what I'd paid for world feel important

You thought blu ray sales would just continue forever?

Perhaps, but I think there's a lot of people overstating the impact Biden's performance will have on the end result.

November is a long way off. There's plenty of time for either party to fuck things up.

Trump's legal stuff still has a way to run between now and November which I think will have a far bigger impact.

I think a lot of voters of every age vote against their own interests.

I mean honestly it's hard to imagine that a Trump presidency would be good for anyone who is not either part of the Trump family or already very wealthy.

Perfect! Don't vote for the dems for several elections. I'm certain this plan will usher in a new era of progressive politics. Well done. You idiot.

I agree that nuclear is an option that ought to be considered as part of the mix.

I'm not convinced that it's right for Australia given our unique circumstances.

I disagree on cost. We've never built nuclear. We not only need a reactor, buy need to buy all the relevant skills and build all the supports to create an industry. I genuinely believe that the cost per kWh would be far greater than our other options.

The many hundreds of billions is better put to renewables, storage, and hydrogen cracking.

There are some next gen reactors being built in different places. Smaller output, less waste, salt cooled. We should let others bear the cost of development and see how it pans out.

But people recognise his name as being the guy who is too old.

It's irrelevant that he's the incumbent. He can just not run.

Not necessarily.

Perhaps 20 years ago Biden WorldCom acquitted himself better.

That said Trumps performance is a well established debate strategy called a gish gallop - just say dozens of lies and your opponent won't be able to rebut them all. If they try, they won't have time for their own points.

building nuclear power plants isn't just like putting a leg of lamb in the oven though.

it would take a gargantuan investment of money, skills, labour, et cetera. All of which ought to be directed to building out renewable facilities.

I don't really understand how it could be too late.

Float a candidate under 60 and they win riotous support from Democrats and undecideds.

Biden is the only Democrat that Trump has a chance of beating.

Perhaps there has never been changes this late in the cycle, but come on... we're breaking new ground in so many ways.

I don't really follow. Didn't Obama ask RBG if she wanted to retire so he could put up a left leaning judge? That's not disrespectful nor respectful, it's just sensible.

She refused, predictably precipitating the current shit show out of hubris.

She may be a great woman deserving of respect but she fucked up, bringing harm to an entire generation of women.

Meh. Planning be damned. Just float someone under 60 and they'll crush it.

Me too. I think you could change to more or less anyone and get a bump.

It really seems as though the populace is extraordinarily weary of these two tired old assholes.

Anyone under 60 would mop the floor with Trump's toupee.

sorry I meant banning not banking

Gish gallop.
