Have you tried just compiling it with fewer threads? Would almost certainly reduce the RAM usage, and might even make the compile go faster if it you’re needing to swap that heavily

Yes, it should be banned, but it should be banned nationally. Why focus on the people responding to an egregious behavior? Stop Texas from doing it, then it won’t spread. If they go through and dems don’t respond in kind, the voters will has already been subverted. What are we protecting really but republican power?

Texas dems have left the state to block quorum (Texas requires 2/3 legislature present to operate) so that Texas legislature can’t put the bill through. Keep the pressure on Text first and foremost instead of focusing rage at the people actually trying to fight back. It’s not a given that any of the response will be needed, but if that is needed, we must do it. If Republicans maximize gerrymandering of every state and there is no counterbalance, our republic will struggle to hold on. There will be no saving of the voter will if a party that wants to destroy it is left to continue holding the reigns

This is in response to Texas trying to doing it abruptly 5 years before redistricting. They will do every damn other state with Republican trifectas if dems don’t response in kind

Taking the high road doesn’t work. Unilateral disarmament is not the move here. It’s either banned for all or none. Republicans have been chipping away at any federal requirements against it for decades and using that to their advantage

Strong suspicion that this whole trend has been beef industry influenced and or funded. Especially since they quite often decide to tout beef tallow (somehow as “healthy”) instead of a non-seed based oil like olive oil, avocado oil, etc.

For some context of the other things the beef industry has done before:

Using checkoff money, NCBA [National Cattlemen’s Beef Association] has developed what it has called a “Digital Command Center” – a sophisticated online monitoring system that tracks media outlets and social media for more than 200 beef-related topics. Hosted in Denver in a space that “looks like a military operations center combined with the TV section at an electronics retailer”, according to a recent Cattlemen’s Beef Board mailer sent to ranchers, the command center alerts members of NCBA’s issues management and media relations team whenever stories or online chatter rise above a certain threshold. It’s staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with personnel redundancies built in to make sure someone’s always watching.

Note: Gerrymandering doesn’t impact state wide races like senate and presidential. Only district based things like house seats

California is far more blue than texas is red. California votes around D+20 statewide, Texas is more like R+5 ish
