MAGA: Keep politics out of sports!

Chief's Kicker (Butker): Makes a misogynist and politically charged speech at a Christian college graduation.

MAGA: Way to tell them like it is! Keep it up.

Bank checks and account balances.

Yeah I mean they would need an MRAP to keep them safe while they wait for the shooter to finish up or run out of ammo. We've got to think of the officers and their safety.

I'm not surprised by the rubber stamped warrant. Cop shops are known to shop for judges that will just stamp off. I'm sure they didn't mention that it was a MRI business but the odor of weed even combined with high energy usage shouldn't be enough for a raid IMO. There should be some other evidence, especially in LA where it smells like weed pretty much anywhere.

I'm curious how this will go. I assume LA will settle out of court because they don't want a precedent set that they actually going to be responsible for private property damage during raids.

A House Republican lead committee said that the boycott is illegal but also said they don't know if there's really a law against it.

Republicans: Corporations should have freedom of expression (Citizens United)!

Also Republicans: Corporations shouldn't be able to choose what platforms to run ads on!

It doesn't change what Disney tried to do to get out of it.

Several members of the Police Benevolent Association allegedly approached him, one telling him that he had to obey the courtesy-card customs or the union wouldn’t protect him.

Looks like they were correct about that. The police union protects almost anything, except giving those with union 'courtesy cards' a traffic ticket apparently. That is just too far.

It should because their use agreement makes it clear that you don't own the games but are licensing them. That's pretty much why they had to clarify what they said I'd imagine. IMO, proving the point of the law, really.

Maybe...Congress has impeached one Supreme Court Justice in history, Constitution Article 2, Section 4..

The Article itself stays within the scope of the Executive Branch but the Section itself just says:

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Likely, if Congress tried, it would be argued that the scope is only the Executive Branch.

Article 3's scope is the Judicial branch but says in Section 1:

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

However, Samuel Chase who was appointed as a Supreme Court Justice by George Washington and confirmed by the Senate was impeached by Congress in 1804, and other federal judges (some having life-time appointments apparently) were dissolved.

Samuel Chase ultimately was acquitted by the Senate in 1805 however.

"There are good people on both sides" when the date brings up Charlottesville.

It does represent freedom.

Kent can fork the kernel if he wants with all the fixes he wants in it and distribute it as he sees fit. This particular instance of the kernel (which happens to be original -- the upstream), Linus has to balance allowing some fixes other developers want to include versus a 'minor' release of the kernel during this cycle (because it is a minor version release, not a major one). Kent could then also stop other developers from contributing to his fork but then those people could just fork his kernel fork and do what they want.

You as a user are free to use any of them. You're even free to take Kent's PRs right now with everything done in the kernel at this point, compile it and run it yourself if you want. You could even market it as something and sell it all if you want for a profit if you can get the customers. You're free to do all of that. You can do it right now if you want.

It is mostly a translation layer -- WINE is Not an Emulator (WINE). The reason Microsoft 'allows' this is because they have no choice. WINE hasn't broken any laws or violated any copyright or trademarks. Same goes for Proton with DXVK of course.

I've worked as an IT architect at various companies in my career and you can definitely get support contracts for engineering support of RHEL, Ubuntu, SUSE, etc. That isn't the issue. The issue is that there are a lot of system administrators with "15 years experience in Linux" that have no real experience in Linux. They have experience googling for guides and tutorials while having cobbled together documents of doing various things without understanding what they are really doing.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen an enterprise patch their Linux solutions (if they patched them at all with some ridiculous rubberstamped PO&AM) manually without deploying a repo and updating the repo treating it as you would a WSUS. Hell, I'm pleasantly surprised if I see them joined to a Windows domain (a few times) or an LDAP (once but they didn't have a trust with the Domain Forest or use sudoer rules...sigh).

A) it's fake. The specific squadron would be called out explicitly on that memoradum. Paragraph 1 would definitely have to referenced at least 3 AFIs and paragraph 2 would have definitely (especially being an SFS Memo) disclosed punishment via the UCMJ.

B) that copy paste memo indicates it is from a local security forces commander and definitely not the USAF.

I know it's supposed to be a joke but I figure I'd note the amount of fakery here since there's always this kind of mythos that lives a long life.

Everything from the supposed sanctioned DOD standard of 7 wipes of a disk (never was a thing -- The Orange Book/NISPOM on e referenced a study by Gutmann in the 90s), that basically training issues stress cards to trainees (been a rumor as if fact since the early aughts and I'm sure earlier), that's there's a single bullet and 9mm gun at the top of the flag pole at base command, that the Etherbunny was a thing that happened to a friend's roommate, that the country will take care of you after you serve and perhaps worst of all -- Marines don't literally eat crayons and it is just a joke.

I doubt this happened because of busses that'd leave or parents wondering where the hell their kids are while they are waiting.

I doubt a private school would put up with a consistent disruptive student or with a teacher losing control of a class so bad that they keep everyone behind while also having to deal with angry paying parents.

It's possible but I doubt it'd happen more than once with that teacher.

He's an elected judge. I don't know Michigan's laws but there might not be much more that can be done by the court administration themselves. I personally also took Chief Judge McConico's statement as a tactful 'fuck you' to Judge King.

Lying to get around the 12th Amendment in the Constitution is a "technicality"!?

So basically Cypher.

So I don’t get all this. Everything I buy tickets, I choose my seats unless I fly southwest. And even they are going to move to assigned seats.

At least when my kids were young, you'd have to pay extra to pick a seat, at least if you purchased through Expedia or Travelocity.

And if so, do they not seat everyone in your reservation together?

You know how you print your boarding pass and it has your seats? When my kids were young on multiple trips via United, AA and Delta, the boarding pass would not have a seat assignment and we'd have to go the gate agent at every gate, even on the same airline if it was not a direct flight and get our seats assigned last minute. So no, we weren't always seated together. On one flight, none of us were in the same row with anyone in our family.

Since we were scraping by back then we always booked months in advance for cheaper tickets. I thought originally it was a fluke with just United but after the next trip, I had learned to pay extra and pick seats ahead of time.

I used to do this on one of my sites that was moderately popular in the 00's. I had a link hidden via javascript, so a user couldn't click it (unless they disabled javascript and clicked it), though it was hidden pretty well for that too.

IP hits would be put into a log and my script would add a /24 of that subnet into my firewall. I allowed specific IP ranges for some search engines.

Anyway, it caught a lot of bots. I really just wanted to stop automated attacks and spambots on the web front.

I also had a honeypot port that basically did the same thing. If you sent packets to it, your /24 was added to the firewall for a week or so. I think I just used netcat to add to yet another log and wrote a script to add those /24's to iptables.

I did it because I had so much bad noise on my logs and spambots, it was pretty crazy.
