Home is where the skies are blue.

Trump has openly said that he admires Putin, and that he wants the kind of generals that Hitler had. His own staff have described him as a fascist dictator.
If he wins and is in charge of the US military, and goes all out Putin/Hitler, how do we stop him?

Go vote!

I'm now mainly on ☁️🔵 instead of here.
I'm just keeping this around for now so that I can find people I follow over there - thanks to Sky Follower Bridge - and so people can find me. But don't expect much more than that.
I'd not realised just how bad it was here until now...

@RpsAgainstTrump My understanding is that it's very borderline legal.
It's illegal to pay people to vote,or to register to vote. He's not doing that.
He's paying people to sign his petition, but only if they're registered voters. So it's kinda paying to register to vote (illegal) but not quite...

I *think* the answer is:

Hole cards - QQ
Table cards - 2378Q of 4 suits

So you've got trip queens, and there's no possible higher trips, straight, flush or higher.

But is there a weaker setup?

And then as a follow up question - how does this change with fewer visible cards?

[Graham Cox (@grahamcox82.bsky.social) @grahamcox82]

Interesting #Maths problem that I don't know how to answer.
What's the *weakest* hand in Texas Hold 'em poker that, based only on your hole cards, flop, turn and river, is 100% guaranteed to win? If there's any chance of a draw or loss, no matter how slim, it doesn't count.

[Graham Cox (@grahamcox82.bsky.social) @grahamcox82]

You can arrange the visible cards in any way you need to make this work.
For example - a royal flush is a guaranteed win, but it's the strongest hand.
A single pair can always be beaten - someone can get trips or two pair - so doesn't count.

@abhichat85 There are a fair few Tailwind UI libraries.
Personally I quite like Flowbite.

Plus you can easily enough tweak the styles to suit - that's the whole point of Tailwind instead of something like Bootstrap or MUI...

@Iqrapti12 Programmers.
Why would we be called anything different?

[Graham Cox (@grahamcox82.bsky.social) @grahamcox82]

@CreativeDeduct @marcuschown The NHS wait times are so long - from being chronically underfunded - that if you can beat that then you'll have some people willing to pay for it. Plus, of course, any emergencies that come up from their own procedures.
But they don't do that, because it's not profitable enough.

[Graham Cox (@grahamcox82.bsky.social) @grahamcox82]

@CreativeDeduct @marcuschown How does anyone break into any market? It's no different.
If a private hospital thought that emergency medicine was profitable enough then they'd do it. And, to be honest, it wouldn't even be hard.

[Graham Cox (@grahamcox82.bsky.social) @grahamcox82]

@CreativeDeduct @marcuschown Equally, a private hospital could run their own A&E department for people to take themselves to, or even run their own ambulances.
They just don't, because it's not profitable enough for them to do so.

[Graham Cox (@grahamcox82.bsky.social) @grahamcox82]

@CreativeDeduct @marcuschown Where is the NHS not allowing the private hospitals to do their own emergency medicine?
Absolutely an NHS ambulance will take you to an NHS hospital. But nothings stopping a private hospital doing their own emergency care if their own operations go wrong. They just don't...

[Graham Cox (@grahamcox82.bsky.social) @grahamcox82]

@CreativeDeduct @marcuschown Running an emergency department is hugely expensive. Both in terms of staff and equipment. So the private hospitals just don't bother paying for it, and instead on the occasions that they need it they just transfer the patients to the nearest NHS hospital that can do it for them.

[Graham Cox (@grahamcox82.bsky.social) @grahamcox82]

@CreativeDeduct @marcuschown AFAIK, there's nothing stopping private hospitals supporting emergency medicine. They could easily be set up for that themselves.
They just don't because it's more profitable for them to offload that to the NHS. After all, the NHS *must* have it.

@JustinAYoung @glumGPT It's not just the app stores. Some entire countries laws are going to be problematic too.

Hey everyone! Since the block feature is being removed, Canada (and other countries) will most likely be banning Twitter since it’s a required feature to adhere to the current anti-hate laws.

@mikecodemonkey @glumGPT Think about who it benefits.
There's a reason for every change made, and in this case that reason is potentially because there are people that Elon wants to support who would benefit from being able to see the tweets of those they've been blocked by...
