I’m thinking lettuce.

Well an Olympic athlete is probably a public figure in this context, so she’d need to show that Boebert defamed her “with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not.”

Pretty good, I’d wager.

Which could potentially create a situation if Trump were to win, where his electoral votes are split across JD Vance, and thanks to the 12th amendment, the Senate picks the VP, and selects Harris’s running mate. If Jon Tester keeps his seat in Montana, which doesn’t seem super unlikely, this probably means a 50-50 Senate, with the VP keeping it in the Dems’ control.

1. I’ve learned a number of tools I’d never used before, and refreshed my skills from when I used to be a sysadmin back in college. I can also do things other people don’t loudly recommend, but fit my style (Proxmox + Puppet for VMs), which is nice. If you have the right skills, it’s arbitrarily flexible.

2. What electricity costs in my area. $0.32/KWh at the wrong time of day. Pricier hardware could have saved me money in the long run. Bigger drives could also mean fewer, and thus less power consumption.

3. Google, selfhosting communities like this one, and tutorial-oriented YouTubers like NetworkChuck. Get ideas from people, learn enough to make it happen, then tweak it so you understand it. Repeat, and you’ll eventually know a lot.

I don’t see anywhere that anybody said that. Most of them seem to want more legal immigration, because if you make legal immigration easier, fewer people will do it though other channels.

The harmful conduct we should actually be focusing on here is companies exploiting/abusing undocumented workers and violating labor laws whose immigration status chills them from reporting. Those companies are the real criminals here. The employees responsible, or who should’ve known, should see the inside of a jail cell, and fines should be an existential threat to the business if they do this with any regularity.

If it’s easier to immigrate legally, and employers believe hiring undocumented workers will cost them way more than they stand to save, we’ll see a very different dynamic.

Oh. My. That is somehow even worse than I thought.

Yeah I didn’t know about the “purchasing the right to call himself a founder” thing until fairly recently. I probably would have started in a similar place if I had

My respect for him tanked in 2014 when I first met someone who worked for him, and heard what working for him is like. Abusive managerial style sounds… too gentle. Somewhere during the Trump administration I lost my last ounce of respect for him, and somewhere in the last few years I started losing respect for people who still think positively of him.

Between his sense of humor that reads as ‘15 year old on 4chan’, his aggressive bigotry, and abject lack of redeeming qualities, I’m not sure what he could do to change my mind at this point. If he gave a billion to the Trevor project and apologized for the bigotry, I’d be skeptical about his angle.

The best part is if the question goes up to SCOTUS, it might well get consolidated with Cannon’s dismissal, and they’re considering one legal question in cases against a Trump and a Biden.

It’s not evidence that this was staged, but it does seem rather like evidence that he had a plan in the event someone tried this.

I can’t find the text of the new law in 5 minutes of searching, but from looking at a variety of reports, it seems like this law removes loopholes that were being used to get parental permission for marriages involving children. I suspect they just wrote it this way because the bulk of the issue is older men marrying teenage girls, and that is a thing it does ban.

Intent isn’t the same as what will happen, the law does prescribe what he must do, and if that violates his intent, so be it.

But it does mean he’ll presumably be on the lenient side of what he’s allowed to do, which means it’s very unlikely Trump’s going to jail as a result of this conviction. Unless he ends up with a negative recommendation from the probation officer, which seems unlikely from what has been said publicly. But I wouldn’t say “absolutely not” yet.

Anarchist? Monarchist? Georgist?

Given the scope of destruction they’ve caused, I find it harder to believe, but I hope you’re right and they will follow through.

I assume his nonprofit is finding people with arrest warrants, and telling police where they’re located?

10% everywhere would be a decisive victory for Biden. Polls would only need to be off by about 1.2% to flip Texas in that case, which isn’t entirely implausible.

Not them, but for all the negative consequences we’ve seen as a result of his policies, Reagan is my pick for the worst US president. So many problems in modern America trace back to things he broke.

We don’t have enough hindsight to say how Trump compares for sure, it’s possible he’ll end up having been worse, even if he isn’t elected again, but only time will tell.

Yup. Authoritarians often criminalize their opponents to prevent them from running, like Putin did to Navalny. Even if banning felons from office could have positive effects, it’s also a dangerous flaw that bad actors in power could exploit to maintain their power.

I’d watch those folders, especially the UPLOAD_LOCATION, when it’s uploading. Are they being written? Do they persist, or are they being deleted? See if you can upload a single image through the web client, and observe that behavior too.

the very foundation of an abortion ban is an assumption that a woman’s body does not belong to her. Abusive men agree.

I’m at a loss for a phrase that expresses the opposite of “unlikely allies” correctly. That I’m surprised, not that they’re working together, but that it took them so long to do openly
