1. Swiss cheese slices: make them holes too tight.
2. When you run everything as root, if you fuck your shit, your shit’s fucked.

“Best practices” tend to come from other people’s whoopsies. But it’s always good to question things, too.

Swap in a new display controller board, get a cheap Bluetooth keyboard and wire the eee PC (maybe?) to the controller board. Then, remove the internal board and drive to make space for an old Android phone on which you can install a Linux distro.

Voila! A “laptop” that you can upgrade whenever you get a new phone or if someone donates a phone to you.

/s or something. I don’t know what anything is anymore

In his early 20s, the region that would become the USSR had performed a number of pogroms and mass murders in the name of blood-libel. Post WWI, Bolshevik started to become a bit of a dog-whistle for Jews, which got amplified through WWII, and then fed back into anti-Bolshevik/antisemitic beliefs.

As a proud, yet incredibly hypocritical Jew, I’m sure Einstein had seen enough antisemitism coming from that region that it likely played some sort of a role in his decision.

Also, this is an assumption.

I look forward to the collapse of civilization when all of the satellites stop communicating with our computers because our satellites are sending messages from the future.

Also, ruining GPS for everyone would be a really effective scapegoat for Tesla’s full self-driving failures.

We sure showed us!

My sister’s name is Amanda, not Admin!

Oh shoot, I mentioned both… The first time is Black Lives Matter, the second time is Beerow Bureau of Land Management. Guess I should probably clean that up.

It’s glossed over in the article, but she’s already been released.

I don’t know if it’s part of trying to build a narrative or if they’re trying to whitewash her name, but Pam Hemphill (great last name) wasn’t just some old lady who got caught up in the moment. In fact, January 6th wasn’t even her first time storming a capitol; she was part of the mob that shattered the glass door at the Boise capitol a few months before J6.

This exposé lays a lot more bare about her time as “the unofficial videographer of the far-right in Idaho,” her harassment and scapegoating of BLM, and her early adoption of and ardent support for People’s Right Network. Of course, that’s the antigovernment militia founded by wanted, but not pursued, fugitive Ammon Bundy.

If the name “Bundy” sounds familiar to you and you’re not thinking about serial killers or sitcom characters, you’re probably recalling the ridiculous 2014 standoff between the Bundy family with their militia and the federal government due to Ammon’s brother getting fined for allowing his cows to graze on BLM-managed land.

Pam has known what she was doing for a few decades now, going all the way back to grifting recovering addicts with inflated credentials as a reference, to claiming her mother was an unknown serial killer of 30-40 immigrant infants which she claims were left to ferment in a wine vat. Private investigations have failed to find any truth to these claims.

While Hemphill may actually reject a Trump pardon or might have actually turned over a new leaf, Black Lives Matter leaders insofar regard her claims and behavior as performative and attention-seeking. They might have a point, considering the new mustang Pam bought in 2021 after creating a givesendgo campaign which she claimed was to fund “her lifestyle as a citizen journalist.”

This is like a wonderful parody of every early-aught crime show featuring a tech-heavy storyline. Some of the best dry humor I’ve read in the past few weeks.

Some tax loophole asshole?

Not that I know of, which would make the attempt of a Presidential pardon so much more awesome. Hence the “fuck y’all”

There’s no way he could have done this. Luigi sucks up ghosts inside rich people’s homes, not makes ghosts outside.

If Biden pardons him, that would be so fucking legendary. Especially if he’s like, “yeah, I pardon his state crimes too. Fuck y’all”

We had some major construction done at our work recently. Our boss told us that if we wanted to work remote, do so and just keep it quiet; if we wanted to work in-office-they’d find us space. Everyone was expressly welcome to work remote, except “anyone with ‘director’ in their title.” That was kinda cool.

“No we won’t and yes it does”

It feels kinda like an old vaudevillian joke… If a Russian battalion were to arrive at your doorstep and demand that you house them and that your compliance would be looked at favorably when Russia takes over—not only would you be constitutionally protected if you chose to shoot them, you’d likely be lauded as a hero.

But when a Russian asset takes over and compromises our country, well, good luck finding the legal loophole to justify shooting a president.

And here, laws mean everything. It’s why immigrants are illegal, shoplifting is bad, landlords are good, and more money=more free speech. Then again, a coup is supposed to be illegal, so once again, I direct you to my previous response: “we’re aggressively dumb.”
