Uvalde school shooting May 24, 2022
Authorities were afraid to escalate.
Authorities hesitated in crucial moments.
Authorities were in less danger than civilians.
Post Office workers get robbed and assaulted every day.
Authorities *should* be afraid to escalate.

Authorities *should* hesitate in crucial moments.

Authorities *should* be in more danger than civilians.

If they don't want to be in more danger than civilians, they need to see if the Post Office is hiring.

Have you spoken to the Royal Family of Hawaii lately?
Denmark PM Mette Frederiksen: “I would therefore strongly urge the United States to stop the threats against a historically close ally & against another country & another people who have very clearly said that they are not for sale"

I find it is best to think of ALL nation states as mad overlords seeking world domination.
The United States of America is not the good guy. We are terrorists with better weapons.

Beg to differ: I would select Andrew Johnson
Lacked formal education, born into poverty; criticized for poor handling of Reconstruction and impulsive decisions, though he rose through self-taught political savvy.
I think reasonable people can quibble over Trump or Bush being the worst president (I still say it’s Bush) but I think we can all agree Donald Trump is the dumbest person to hold the American presidency.

You’ve captured the fundamental ethos of the professional politician class worldwide.
Trump told MTG she brought the threats on her son’s life herself. He told Kevin McCarthy on Jan. 6 that MAGAts were rioting because they were probably more upset at the election results than him.
Trump doesn’t care who dies as long as it benefits him.

This American citizen holds to the proposition that those running for elected office should only be allowed to receive campaign contributions for Citizens eligible to vote in that election. No foreign money. No PAC money. No political party money. No corporate money. No Outside money period.

You were wise. You selected the Operating System to match the work you do. Uptime and throughput are the qualities to optimize.
The reason Windows is on my brand-new box is because it was easier to disable its shiz and do my job, than it was to hack in the ability of linux to do the same job.

I tried. I really did. My friends were there through the whining: ask 'em.
Living with Windows has always been a calculus of how useful it is professionally vs. the amount of unbearable shit you gotta disable with a script and I think we reached a tipping point where it’s majority unbearable shit.

Why do we keep following the gerontocracy over the edge to the rocks below?
Pelosi: “Right now, the Republicans in the Congress have abolished the Congress — They just do what the president insists that they do. That will be over — That ends as soon as we have the gavel”

The quote makes me wonder who would be the progressive challenger to Jeffries for Speaker

Please provide some context, so others will know best practice to avoid issue and fix issue. Thank you !
I literally had to remote into my old Windows 10 machine to print this 41 page PDF document.

Nobody asked but ... we always put a big ass carrying handle on the top of ours. Of course that was after we stopped using an appliance dolly to chassé our megatower to said events.
I want to do unto this Shuttle (the one that started it all for me) as I did unto the Ultimate Windows 98 Machine last year: *STICKERBOMB THE CRAP OUT OF IT.*

Mentality here is that these were portable machines for LAN parties, why not have one that looks like a traveling suitcase?

Apologies for suggesting actions that are inappropriate due to your country of residence. Thank you for the reminder that NOT everyone "raging against the night" is an American.
I would if I could, but I'm a Canadian #Resister. I go out on demonstrations and support my friends here. Your advice is good to all Americans.
