  • Wanted to mention this seems to be fixed, but I was never able to find a tool that could tell me why it was occurring.

    It was ultimately NTP (clock), but it was actually the router clock. I switched PCs and I think my original PC had software to talk to the router, which must’ve been setting the time. It seems like it changed to a completely different time at some point.

    Changed it, then just released/renewed/flushed dns. I also manually turned on the time service at some point and ran a sync from the command prompt just to be safe. and everything is acting normally now.





  • Update: So far i’m down to 2 extensions:
    Ublock
    600% sound volume

    Memory still ballooned from 1GB to 5GB.

    When I checked processes before closing, even after force unloading Youtube under processes, GPU was using around 1 GB. There was literally nothing else I could unload that would stop this.

    Again I loaded all tabs just to be fair…GPU is using half of that currently. I’m also questioning the reliability of about:processes to an extent, because I couldn’t actually see what was adding up to the 5 GB I was seeing in task manager.

    I also tried some advice I saw to just whitelist youtube, as it sounds like google does something regarding adblockers. But this did not seem to do anything noticable.

    edit: based on another post, trying troubleshoot mode, though i’m always uncomfortable having all site blockers (ublock now) turned off.


















  • Votes matter but you also have a system in place, and if you’re necking the 50/50 vote point expect that system to matter. Going to lala land and imagining a system that isn’t how your system actually works doesn’t fix anything.

    Get more people to vote
    Discourage 3rd party bait picks that will never get elected because they don’t even have a local/state/anything presence
    As an added bonus, you’d probably need to get people more interested in house/senate elections if you actually wanted to do anything about the electoral college. Cause it’s not being changed at the presidential level.


  • He barely lost the popular vote, and in the end the electoral college decides. It’s complete denial to act like it was a landslide. Even if you agree the electoral college is problematic it was a bad election.

    If you don’t want to think about the electoral college, the popular vote has to be a landslide, not what it was in 2016.

    You can even look it up and this isn’t even the first time this has happened. it’s the 4th time. It doesn’t even get the most blatant discrepancy
