Sending an email is much much better than sending a literal hand written letter.

I had one opt out where you had to hand write the letter and envelope. Absolutely no way it was enforceable but didn’t want to risk it at the time.

There is a saying in engineering.

Anyone can build a bridge.

It takes an engineer who can build a bridge just strong enough to let cars cross it.

But they can’t just “restore” the property, it was full of mature native trees/plants and for bulldozed.

Oh God…tree law…I never realized how much I missed this.

There was an encryption system a few years ago that offered this out of the box.

I can’t remember the name of it but there was a huge vulnerability and basically made the software unusable.

Crypt box or something like that.

Who exactly is this 4cat?

Mormonism has very strong ties in Hawaii. They sent missionaries there when the state was annexed by the US.

While not as strong as Utah, it very much is there.

People don’t admire the fact he’s a liar.

They admire him because he’s a racist, homophobe, and transphobe.

They admire him because he says things they wish they could say without getting yelled at by liberals.

They are okay if he’s a liar, sexist, misogynist asshole so long as he’s also racist, homophobic, and transphobic.

It’s their fault for being sluts. If they were strong Christian women, God wouldn’t have punished them.

No GOP wet dream is basically what North Korea does.

You stand in line to vote and are handed a card. There is one box for the “candidate”. You vote by putting your card in the box while everyone watches.

You have the choice to not vote.

Guess how many don’t vote b

The first year, I was like, “They need to shore up their prosecution.”

The second year, “Probably waiting until next year, so not to cause an issue during an election year.”

The third year, “Come on…do something. Anything. Charge him for littering…”

The fourth year, “It’s not happening. Not when he’s running for office.”

Playing a bit of devil’s advocate.

We have a tendency to over classify things in general. When I was in a TS SCIF, we would mark things S/TS because we were lazy and didn’t want to go through the process to see if something was subject to disclosure.

Assuming, with a great heaping serving of salt, that there is validity to Trump’s claim, I can sort of understand putting to a jury to see if the files that Trump took were in fact classified. I can see him stealing the documents simply because it had a cover sheet and not because it was valuable. While I’m sure that he absolutely took sensitive and classified information, I’m equally sure that there is probably a take out menu or two in those boxes.

The problem is that the run of the mill citizen isn’t equipped to properly classify a document. I don’t know what probative value exists in giving the documents to jurors outside of forcing the prosecution to put them in the public record.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

That’s not how the ADA works. You could say the same for wheelchair ramps, but ultimately it’s on the store owner to reasonably provide accomodations to people who want to use their services. It’s not on the disabled person to pick and select who will accommodate them or not. It’s why businesses are required to reserve a portion of their parking lot to those with handicap placards. It shouldn’t be up to each disabled person to figure out which business they can go to.

What Starbucks is doing would be akin to Walmart charging an extra buck for you to use one of their mobility scooters or an extra $5 if you require the assistance from an employee because you can’t reach something.

Maybe I’m cynical but I just don’t think any amount of facts are going to change the fact that next quarter’s earnings report needs to be higher than last quarter.

This exactly. NAS+RAID gives you a backup of your local media. It can account for one of your three copies and one of your storage mediums. But you still need something off site.

So assuming you had a copy on your computer proper, it could work. Better than no backups.

I wish there was a good way to store a backup of my media. I recently suffered a terrible hard drive issue. I lost a terabyte of media. Fortunately, the pirate ship has saved me and has me rethinking some of my backup methodologies.

Outside of periodically backing up onto an external hard drive, I haven’t been able to find a reasonably priced online backup solution that isn’t going to fuck me when I have to pull data out. Egress fees are killer.

These states:

• Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming
• Arizona
• California
• Massachusetts
• New York
• Washington

At least Amazon is thinking of the shareholders.

No, there is a Republican party. It’s MAGA and a large number of voters who vote R regardless of name.

So many Republican voters simply don’t care.

Source: I worked as an election poll worker. The number of people who asked me, “Who are the Republicans?” on ballots where there is no party would shock you.

Unless it’s a law, Trump shouldn’t receive any security briefings until he’s sitting in the office.
