Aerosolized Primatine hits hard tho

The right-to-repair movement hopefully means we can keep doing this in the future with our ever increasingly expendable digital devices. Until 2026, my wife and I have daily driven two x30-series ThinkPads from 2012, repairing and upgrading along the way. Outright purchasing new laptops could easily have been a thousand dollars every five years or so for each of us.

MVP of the evening is the extension cord routed from a non-GFCI outlet elsewhere in the house

Answer: somebody got paid.

So killing her doesn’t work, they bring an ambulance, take her to the hospital, let her go back to prison for a year and wait for them to try again?

How receptive his speech patterns have become should concern us all. Clearly the Stephen Millers and Kushners in his life are the non-elected decision makers in the presidency.

I still remember stocking hand sanitizer and black nitrile gloves in my retail stores, late February 2020. That was us getting ready.

Jump to the second week of March and California announcing a stay-at-home order. I had to go secure our stores for being unoccupied. On the way there is was dozens of miles of empty LA freeways, and news radio all about people suffocating on ventilators and sanitizing everything that came into your house. Then, walking alone through empty malls, avoiding anyone else who was there. It felt like we were shutting down the for good.

More evidence that there’s a black hole of shit calling itself Donald Trump, and absolutely nobody who has been pulled into his orbit cares about this, or even allegations that he raped little girls.

The thing we’re missing here is that while normal, well-adjusted, educated people who recognize the alarm bells of an elected official publishing gaffs and mistakes like these, the MAGA base frequently makes and overlooks these kinds of mistakes, overlooking them as inconsequential. We all do shit, but none of it matters if it’s done with charisma.

It’s like when a Gen-Z college intern reads an email from a Gen-X, C-Level boss that’s riddled with possessive apostrophes and misspellings and he wonders how someone who never achieved a commensurate literacy is promoted into that role. But it’s not a deal-breaker because his network of peers and competitive, extroverted personality are thought to keep the business thriving.

Jump ahead to a thriving workplace where the hardworking hourly employees show up everyday.

Jump to a Master’s graduate who vibe-authored all of his papers and never had to deal with minutia like punctuation in his resume.

Jump to a charismatic personality.

People can overlook a lot when they want you on their team.

Every headline aiming to justify Jonathan Ross’ shot into the car obfuscates the fact that deliberately placed himself in front of her vehicle.

Headlines like this get us talking about exactly what they want us to talk about: whether or not Jonathan Ross was struck by a vehicle.

What we’re not supposed to talk about is why Jonathan Ross created the opportunity to be struck, or what led to him being struck and dragged by another vehicle six months ago.

In 2014 DHS published an internal audit report stating that on dozens of occasions their officers would intentionally stand in the path of vehicles to fraudulently justify use of force in shooting the drivers out of “frustration.”

It was such an issue that DHS had to issue an entirely new handbook and guidance explicitly training their agents not to stand in front of cars on purpose.

They have tons of instances of their officers intentionally blocking a vehicle for the sole purpose of then firing at it - and their policy is officially that their agents should never do that.

From the document: "It should be recognized that a 1/2 ounce (200 grain) bullet is unlikely to stop a 4,000 pound moving vehicle, and if the driver of the approaching vehicle is disabled by a bullet, the vehicle will become a totally unguided threat.

Obviously, shooting at a moving vehicle can pose a risk to bystanders including other agents."

There is little doubt that the safest course for an agent faced with an oncoming vehicle is to get out of the way of the vehicle."

The actual handbook is available here: https://imlive.s3.amazonaws.com/Federal Government/ID255426897069329047495080324203699905714/2.2.1_Attachment 21 - ICE Firearms and Use of Force Directive and Handbook.pdf

Page 12 includes the following:

4. Deadly force is not authorized solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect.

Deadly force against a fleeing subject is only authorized if there is probable cause to believe that the escape of the suspect would pose an imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury to the officer or another person.

The freeleech token distributions are the way to go. I think most RED users got over a hundred for the new year, which was in no way related to its downtime and new domain. :p

Anyway, freeleeching and permaseeding the content you know you already like is the way build ratio, then you can start downloading against your buffer. Takes a while. Truthfully, in the era of cheap(er) streaming and TIDAL downloaders, music piracy sites are becoming more and more obsolete.

I mentioned the RED downtime, which was really prolonged late last year. I was surprised at how little chaos that downtime created—if that had happened ten years ago users would have gone crazy. It’s the case now, though, that music streaming is simply so accessible and relatively inexpensive that having your main music tracker down for months isn’t really detrimental to your everyday access to music.
