You can drive 13 hours from NYC and still be in NYC. A sane mind cannot comprehend this.

So the US government wants to curtail the use of an open source architecture that is published by a Swiss organization which isn't controlled by any government.

Talk about tilting at windmills. What the fuck could they possibly do? Sanction RISC-V International? ONO!

nobody has talked about it for years

March 2024: https://www.9news.com/article/news/investigations/police-use-colorado-dmv-facial-recognition-program/73-0c2d862c-a33c-4598-bc0a-e0d1a8ee287f

There are rumblings here in CO about curtailing law enforcement's use of this database. I personally would like to have subpoena protection of the database, so at least it has to go before a judge before the cops just rifle through everyone's pictures.

This is especially concerning given that citizens are recently being required to update their ID to a “Real ID,” which means more people than ever before are giving away the rights to their own face.

lol, no. Real ID is just a set of requirements the federal govt. has implemented to make sure state IDs are held to the same standard as passports re: data integrity and information presented. That's all. Not mark of the beast, not something nefarious to track you more than your old state-issued DL did in the past. As far as "recently"? Nope, states have had 20 years.

I think that they are trying to use "Medicaid fraud" as a backdoor to access medical records. I mean, the AG is specifically saying otherwise but that's the loophole they will use to get these records.

This isn't a stand alone bill, it's just an amendment in the FAA re-authorization bill. They have to pass this bill every 5 years to keep air traffic going.

like /u/toiletobserver memed in this thread, "Challenge Accepted". All the airplanes are still going to have to broadcast ID through ADS-B. They are going to shuffle the N-numbers around but I'm sure we're going to have the finest geeks on the case deciphering who is who in the air based on where people end up on the ground.

Look at the language. "Biden regime" "2014 coup".

It's written in English, but it sure sounds Russian.

Costs rising more than 3% a year. Since it's California I'd imagine the insurance is going up much faster than 3% of total ownership costs. If small landlords cannot stay in the black because they can't afford the insurance with capped rent increases they will sell to the entities that can afford to self-insure. Corporations like BlackRock

Good, because they never let me play PECKERWOOD in tournaments

I don't use it because Calyx is "good enough" and I make a lot of my decisions about which projects to use based on the community associated with them. Graphene has a toxic as fuck community, Calyx is very carebear.

Cancel that evac, Boris.

yeah, the slot is for when the tether breaks.

lol, PItbull "won" the air travel top spot last year and you don't hear shit from him about being tracked.

No vassals, you are landed gentry. You own your machine now.

This isn't a debate. Gloves are off.

It's fun to watch airplanes. Watching them via radio is also fun. The data has been public since the FAA started issuing tail numbers and it's never really been an issue before.

What's really fucked up is that these jets currently operate under Part 91, just like grandpa's Cessna. Quite unregulated when it comes to how long the pilots can fly and the taxes are lower than Part 135 which is where I believe these private jets should operate. IMO a private plane should be owner operated, allowing the individual to determine safety limits. Part 135 regulates quite a bit more, including pilot rest periods and allowed weather conditions. We already regulate these billionaire's car drivers more stringently than a regular driver, why not the air travel too?

edit: oh, duh. If the airplane operates under Part 135 it can easily be owned by an LLC which is the same form of privacy protection I (and many others) use to shield my identity in real estate records.

Despite being named NYU, it is in fact a private university so yeah, no 1A protection there.

I thought we weren't supposed to kink shame. Maybe /u/Raglesnarf is really into degradation and being dominated. Full on ball-busting, perhaps?

Right? I might have an old GTX970 I could part with if old boy here wants a drastic upgrade.

Is that ~10mm rod on the green one the trailing arm?! They look fragile and like they would get stuck really easily. Might be a spooled 2wd but I sort of doubt it.

If the paths are made for them, they would probably work fine but on a western ranch? nope.
