Really? I grew up in a red town in Massachusetts and I've literally never heard a single person talk about their vote like that ever, let alone suggest that the town should join another state.

So when one town votes for trump and Harris wins the state the votes of that town are "overturned" by the state then?

Their vote wasn't "overturned" their vote counted just as much as anyone else's they just lost.

Distance isn't the only factor to consider. The infrastructure is also very important for determining if a short distance is walkable.

This YouTube channel has lots of great info on the topic https://youtube.com/notjustbikes and this video in particular demonstrations that not even all short distances are necessarily walkable in the US https://youtu.be/uxykI30fS54 @ 4:30 he begins to show a 800m walk in Houston from his hotel to a store.

Is there a reason to do this over just giving the nic for the vm/container a vlan tag?

Ok that was what I thought until I read the last part and got very confused lol

Gnome before it does not appeal to me today. Plasma on the other hand was exactly what I was looking for, plus it's actively maintained and updated.

Very confused by this statement, are you implying Gnome isn't actively maintained and updated or am I missing something?
