What causes a CFL to suddenly start working again?
  • This is the most common one for me for both CFL and LED bulbs. The smooth connection on the base just doesn't connect as well as the kinda rough old incandescent bases and I have had to gently pull on the little tab it pushes against in the mount to get a better connection.

    Have one in the bathroom that I messed with earlier this week after the bulb started practicing for a horror movie.

  • Why does VirtualBox keep launching on boot?
  • https://www.baeldung.com/linux/virtualbox-vm-start-on-boot

    To successfully automate a VirtualBox VM to start at boot time, we must ensure we’re running VirtualBox version 5 and above.

    By default, after installing VirtualBox, the vboxautostart-service unit file should exist in the /etc/systemd/system/ directory.

    Alternatively, for systems missing the vboxautostart service, we can create a custom systemd unit file that will contain our configurations to run VirtualBox on boot. systemd is a system and service manager for most Linux-based OSes.

    Didn't see you mention the autostart-service, and the article is recent enough that maybe it was added as part of an update?

  • Republicans dismayed by Trump’s ‘bad’ and ‘unprepared’ debate performance
  • He changes his mind constantly, nothing is ever final.

    There won't be a debate on Fox News though, because Harris wouldn't fall for that. It is funny to see Trump afraid of a possible debate on his home turf though.

  • Trump says Harris debate was 'rigged,' ABC should lose license, but 'we did great'
  • Martha Stewart's case was two decades ago. How many people have served jail time for fraud based on the SEC since then?

    Musk got the regular slap on the wrist pretend punishment that the SEC does to appear legitimate. He also continues to openly manipulate stocks with no further accountability.

  • Biden seeks 'full accountability' after death of US citizen in West Bank
  • To the best of my recollection she was asked in the context of Gaza and the Oct 7th attack during the debate, not attacks from Iran. The 'Israel must defend itself' argument comes up constantly in the context of the massive death toll in Gaza.

    I know the situation is complex and foreign states like Iran fund and supply Palestinian resistance, but it seems like a an easy way to deflect criticism by changing the focus from Palestinians to hostike nations like Iran.

  • Trump Demands ABC Be Shut Down for Daring to Fact Check Debate
  • Too bad they let him continue to lie about the thing they just fact checked, let him talk beyond his allotted time, reapond when it wasn't his turn, and shut down Harris the one time she tried to respond out of turn.

    The moderators crossed an extremely low bar on fact checking last night, but did everything else the same way they always have.

  • Biden seeks 'full accountability' after death of US citizen in West Bank
  • When I hear that, who is Israel defending it self from if Gaza and the West Bank are not separate nations? Are they part of Israel and Israel is defending itself against itself?

    'Defend itself' makes sense in the context of Iran or Hezbollah, but the thousands of men, women, and children killed in Gaza that are not involved in the fighting aren't external threats. They are victims of apartheid.

  • Trump says Harris debate was 'rigged,' ABC should lose license, but 'we did great'
  • The SEC doesn't do jack shit about anything. The SEC are toothless pretend watchdogs created by and staffed by former stock marketers who exist for the sole purpose of making the public think there is oversight and accountability.

    It is the stock market version of the police's internal affairs.
