Using computers and also having to deal with their problems is still far more betterer than not using computers at all.

I’ve been to Dallas, and I’ve been to San Antonio, but I have not been to Houston.

Authority, story, escalatory — I think you might be a rapper.

Edit: I also just noticed the pairing of ‘fascist’ and ‘nationalistic’ which I like very much.

For the passers-by, in very simple terms:

A switch maintains a list of the IPs and MAC addresses of devices attached to it (ARP [Address Resolution Protocol] table). When a packet comes into the switch for a specific destination IP, the switch looks up on the ARP table where that destination IP can be found, and only sends the packet out on the port the destination device (or next hop towards that device) is connected to.

A hub doesn’t do any of that. Every packet that comes into the hub gets sent out of every port on the hub, to every device connected to the hub. It’s on the connected devices’ to discard packets that aren’t addressed to them. On anything but a very small and relatively slow network, this would create an unnecessarily large amount of traffic, not to mention the security issue around sending packets to devices they’re not addressed to.

If your use case is “pretty simple,” you’re unlikely to have problems with any operating system.

How much time do we waste on car problems? Neighbor problems? Political problems? Grocery problems?

This is why we have zoning laws, folks.

I watch a lot of car revival channels, and my favorite is Sleeperdude, because it’s the whole family working together to do it, and that’s definitely a big part of the charm of the show.

Also Josh is really good at what he does.

It’s also possible to have Windows log in as a specific user at boot, without user input. Regardless of operating system, your logged on session is in the context of some user account, whether you interactively log in or the system does it for you.

The PIN is stored locally on the machine only. It doesn’t get synced with anything anywhere. It’s actually much safer to use a PIN for authentication because it’s four digits that you (well, maybe not you) don’t have to write down, and the only time it works is on the physical machine. The user account password can be long and/or complex, but if you’re only ever authenticating at the keyboard, all you have to remember is the PIN.

Now that’s etiquette.

The Breakfast Gun goes on whichever side the diner’s firing hand is.

Edits below!

After some discussion and reflection, I agree with @[email protected] that the Breakfast Gun would indeed go on the left, “to show you plan for a peaceful meal.”

Furthermore, presentation of Firearms depends on the level of dining:

At a polite table, guests are expected to lay their Meal Arms down holstered, so as not to soil the table linens. Placing a Meal Arm directly on the tablecloth is a sign of disrespect.

At a formal table, a Firearm Napkin will be provided for each diner. This allows diners to display their Meal Arms openly without soiling the linens.

At a “high table,” Meal Arms will be provided by the host. These Arms, while fully functional, are adorned with many engravings and flourishes, as a demonstration of the host’s status, and the diner’s status as a guest at the table.

I wouldn’t worry about it. Even on brand new cars, there are plenty where losing (burning) a quart of oil between changes is “within specifications.” The engine is likely going to burn a little bit of oil just because, and you’ll be lower again soon enough.

That’s the “right” way, yes. I believe constitutional amendments also begin in Congress.

Would you agree that it’s more accurate to say that Congress can’t fix the system by reverting to the old law?

I’m not sure what you mean by this, can you explain?

No, Congress cannot pass legislation on this matter.

Sure they can. They can pass legislation that says “The President of the United States of America does not have criminal immunity from official acts taken as President.”

Once that’s done, a case would have to be identified and charged. The President would need to do something that would be considered a crime, and would be considered an official act, then be charged with that crime. Then it would follow its way through the legal process - district court, appeals court, en banc, eventually landing at the Supreme Court, who would decide whether that legislation was constitutional.

There are plenty of unconstitutional laws still on the books, especially at the state level, “atheists cannot hold public office” is a great example. Of course, those laws are “unenforceable” under normal circumstances; these are not normal circumstances. We’ve seen how the fascists abuse the legal system. It would not surprise me one bit for them to latch on to one of those “still on the books” unconstitutional laws and attempt to enforce it, because throwing wrenches into the machinery is the point.

Using the “atheists cannot hold public office” example, it would be elementary to cause harm to someone’s campaign for elected office just by seeking to enforce an unconstitutional law. Drawing attention to the lack of religious belief in a candidate, forcing said candidate to defend themselves, getting the unwashed masses to go “Yeah! That’s what the law says!” because they’re too fucking stupid to understand that other court rulings have nullified that law.

Doesn’t matter, that’s not the point. Delay and chaos are the point.

By calling for drone strikes on SCOTUS, yes.

Since we’re talking about a SCOTUS ruling, it would be on Congress to pass legislation.

And to follow up on @[email protected]’s comment, the Democratic National Committee is a private party organization that supports Democratic candidates in elections. They have nothing to do with passing legislation.
