I have 25 and 23 year old cars. Pretty much the only thing that would cause me to get rid of them would be a crash or the frame rusting out.

I’ve replaced motors and rebuilt trans on each of them respectively. And I’ll continue doing that. Parts are still easily accessible and when they aren’t anymore, pretty much everything is metal and a machine shop can fab something up.

Even giving the cops the benefit of the doubt, that they aren’t trying to quash free speech.

Cops are bastards who have only one tool at their disposal to handle everything. Arrests.

So they use it arbitrarily and frequently. They have no consequences for using it. Ever.

Someone disagrees? Arrest. Someone doesn’t do what the cop tells them? Arrest.

They’ll find a reason after the fact.

Their “lawful” orders or demands are things they want, and the only law behind them, is their ability to arrest you and leave you fucked having to sort it out later in the courts. They claim they are giving lawful orders ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

Cops need to be held accountable, personally, for every arrest that is thrown out. For every, single, time they THREATEN to arrest someone. Criminal penalties for arresting someone and THEN figuring out what to charge them with. If they don’t fucking know when they pull the cuffs out, they should face criminal and civil charges.

And fuck every cop that backs up another with trying to trump up charges after they arrest someone, too.

Gives me this kinda vibe https://californiaglobe.com/fr/the-story-of-arnold-schwarzeneggers-infamous-hidden-expletive-veto/

I never used this, hadn’t even really heard of it.

But I use gazelle games for my needs. I’m surprised myriant didn’t have torrents for its collection.

That might be a quick an dirty way of archiving the whole site for people. This seems like a perfect use of distributed peer to peer storage and networking to reduce costs.

Broadcasting the Vietnam war brought immense pressure against the government and led to tons of rallies and protests.

Make the American people uncomfortable with what is being done in our names. Bring the realities of war home.

I’ve been somewhat surprised with some band merch lately. The brand comfy colors’ heavy weight t shirts actually feel like they aren’t going to disintegrate in the wash.

So demanding that people have heart attacks and die from doing it.

Besides that, people are struggling to make ends meet. If the city pays them to do something, that money isn’t just staying in saving accounts. They are going to spend it, likely very very soon.

Oh, I know. I’m screaming into the wind here. Letting my frustration out at, well, everything.

Literally draft the documents they need to pass to override his “emergency” and put it before Congress the moment he tries this bullshit. Congress has the power to nullify any “emergency” he declares.

Write up articles of impeachment.

At least prepare it all and make it clear to the people you have it ready.

And keep fucking doing it. Shut down any and all congressional action until this shit stain is out of the white house. Refuse to fund anything. Impeach anyone and everyone they can that is involved in this.

Hold congressional hearings over and over and compel these fascist fucks to waste their fucking time answering questions we already know. Make them say it out loud. Then fucking spread their fucked up answers far and wide. Not just in democratic mailers asking for money, but to every influencer.

The draft order […] would allow Trump to unilaterally ban mail-in ballots and voting machines

The fucking headline even said it was illegal. It wouldn’t “allow” him to do shit.

It would be him CLAIMING he has some power that he doesn’t have. And EACH AND EVERY STATE needs to just fucking ignore it, run their elections as they are the sole arbitrators of elections according the the constitution.

It’s not even a fucking presidential election. IT DOESNT TOUCH THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, and therefore EXECUTIVE orders are even more absurd.

His MO has been to use “emergency” as a power grab even when nothing gives him any powers over these issues even if he claims an emergency.

Fuck you, you fucking orange turd. If everything is an emergency, then nothing is.

I like a lot of Marc Davis’ work.

In particular

Those arent drives. Those are NAS housings. Specifically listed as “diskless” meaning they don’t contain any hard drives or ssds

I think you missed his point. The NAS is cheap. The disks to put in it no longer are.

One: Deleting a post most likely marks it as “user deleted” or similar in the database. It’s how you can still see the post in the ui and comment chains, just with a blurb saying it was deleted. The original content is likely still in that row, it’s just got a boolean column for isDeleted.

Two: Editting is almost entirely the same. New row in the database with a column for parentCommentID which causes the website to show that over the original. The original might have a column for childComment or isEditted.

Three: Reddit TOS probably says they have a license to do whatever the fuck they want with your posts and comments. Unless you’re in a place that has data governance laws like the GDPR, they have no obligation to delete your data.

I mean… That’s like 95% of people anyway. I doubt most people turn off Bluetooth when they aren’t using it. It’s left on so when they pull out their headphones they just connect.

Yea, but what device draws that much power. In the us, most space heaters are 1200w, so about 10 amps. So he’d need to really have a high load device. You might be able to find some 30amp single phase loads.

Putting them all on their own circuit does so much to actually protect him unless he has various extension cords or those 2 receptacle to 6 receptacle devices.

For 500 amps, he should be running 1000 gauge wire. Which would be so impressive to run since each leg would be almost an inch and a half thick and $50 a foot. Each breaker would be over $2k, if he went with the cheapest 500amp breaker.

If each outlet is its own breaker… what’s he running that’s goong to melt those wires?

Unless he has some 16 gauge extension cords going to an electric dryer or something…

Specifically say you are invoking your right to silence and specifically say you are invoking your right to council.

If they continue to pester you after this, it’s a violation of your rights and a lawyer will have more ammunition to defend you.

If they come back hours later and try talking to you again, you invoke them again. After a significant period of time (whatever the cop decides) they can try again to “see if you’ve changed your mind.”

But just staying silent is not the same in the courts as invoking your right to remain silent.

People tend to want to talk and fill silence. You’ll have to control your urges and learn to be comfortable in silence.
