When you get down to the brass tacks of it, computer chips are just Rube Goldberg machines for electrons.

Well actually, they're complicated ordered networks and channels that allow electrons to pass using inherent physics until they meet an obsta--- OH MY GOD

they don't quite understand that there is no out for them- if all this becomes standardized, it escalates and they're fodder.

if it shifts back, their legal liabilities on a civil & state level are significant.

they chose poorly.

in a prior life, I had to factor and calculate every vulnerability & potential with counters for each- odds factored into everything and how each reaction was executed determined the outcome with less than a 5% variable.

poker was perfect- and man, I lost all joy in everything.

I'm a gambling addict- I admit it- and it was all-consuming, affecting every part of me; it wasn't for fun or money- it was the dopamine rush of the win.

playing for the joy of it is differnt- focus on that.

best way to learn is to lose to somebody better- the only shame in it is not paying attention.

lost a lot of money doing that in poker games 😂

that's what makes you better, man- too many focus on the win instead of the joy.

you learn more when you like what you're doing.

This kind of kidnapping, whether it's otherwise law-abiding undocumented workers, or 🇺🇸 citizens, ICE thugs act like they get a bounty per head (they already get a $50K signing bonus), these goons would have been slave catchers back in the day.

Bynum Demands End to ICE Raids After U.S. Citizen Allegedly Abducted by Masked Agents
Bynum compares ICE’s conduct to U.S. Marshals hunting down Black Americans under the Fugitive Slave Act.

U.S. Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-Ore.) called on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to stop abducting her constituents, a week after ICE agents apprehended a Milwaukie man born in California on his way to work and detained him for part of the day.

“These ICE raids are reminiscent of the Fugitive Slave Act, when the U.S. Marshals would hunt down and kidnap Black Americans,” Bynum said in a statement. “That was a dark and shameful time in our nation’s history—we must not allow that to repeat. Masked federal agents aren’t welcome in our state and they can’t keep kidnapping Americans.”

UPDATE: In emailed statement to me / @reason.com, DHS alleges that WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman "threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer."

Screencap of email from DHS public affairs: Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin:

“U.S. Border Patrol was conducting immigration enforcement operations and when several violent agitators used their vehicles to block in agents in an effort to impede and assault federal officers. In fear of public safety and of law enforcement, officers used their service vehicle to strike a suspect’s vehicle and create an opening. As agents were driving, Deborah Brockman, a U.S. citizen, threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer.

“This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of illegal aliens violently resisting arrest and agitators and criminals ramming cars into our law enforcement officers. These attacks highlight the dangers our law enforcement officers face daily—all while receiving no pay thanks to the Democrats’ government shutdown.”
