Can’t say I’ve ever seen that “transition or death” argument where I live; it’s been “transition or life of misery.” I can see how in places that have been pushing transition as soon as puberty hits this could be a thing… but most people are compassionate enough that they just want to help mitigate unneeded suffering.

Classic case of crossed signals; that type of misinterpretation doesn’t really care about your political leanings; everyone is susceptible.

“This guy” is likely going to be mayor of New York, joining the likes of Ed Koch, Rudy Giuliani, Michael Bloomberg and Eric Adams.

As such, he’s making headlines everywhere, although the spin is all over the map.

I figure this is why Musk had so many kids; he can divide up his wealth “in trust” between all of them, with himself as the eternal executor.

Just remember to keep stuff cycling; batteries need charging, iodine tablets need replacing, and even the food and water need regular refreshing.

There are very few goods that don’t go bad if left unattended for over 3 years, for instance.

Remember that fingerprinting can be your friend… because it’s much easier to fake an online fingerprint than a real one.

You can generate a unique fingerprint with each online interaction; this means that you will always have a unique identity.

Or, you can ensure you always have the same fingerprint as a large number of other people.

Think of it as the difference between using a different valid loyalty card each time you shop vs using one of the famous numbers that millions of other people are also using.

Of course, in both circumstances, you do give up the benefits of being uniquely identifiable.

Why not announce it when you’ve done it? Intent only gets you so far.

In most situations I’d think you meant “boost his ego” but in this case, I think “boast” is more accurate.

Pew’s latest study suggests that Trump would have won even if they all voted.

Mostly because the majority of Americans seem to be OK with face eating leopards.

Little Snitch on a Mac.

There are an infinite number of programs that could do this. Will they? Probably not.

Best thing is to install a trustworthy personal firewall, and block all outbound network access for all processes, and then enable as needed. This won’t stop Windows itself, but it will give you a heads-up if something else is trying to send data somewhere and you can make an informed choice at the time.

Subject: That lawnmower you borrowed

Dear sir,

I am SLAMMING you for your delay in returning my lawnmower. Please return today, or you won’t BELIEVE what happens next! 9 out of 10 billionaires don’t WANT you to know!

Sincerely, Your neighbor.

So… the site was totally annihilated in the first attack, and yet still exists to be attacked again.

Trump will do one of his deals and trade Taiwan sovereignty for access to oil.

In an emailed statement, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said, “Attacks and demonization of ICE have resulted in officers facing a 413% increase in assaults. DHS has the ability to trace phone numbers and track location information. Any individual who participates in the doxxing of our brave federal immigration agents will be identified and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

So… “we’re ignoring the law, but if you dox us, we’ll dox back and weaponize the law against you?”

The US has nothing on Zimbabwe.

Trump recently made death threats aimed at the Iranian government.

Why over 11?

In the time it takes for all this to play out, all the farmers could recoup their potential losses and then some by replacing their JD investment with Kubota, who supports independent repair shops.

Of course, with the debt load most farmers carry, that’s easier said than done.

If the federal government set up a replacement program though, and shipped all the JD machinery to Ukraine where hackers know how to modify the software, everyone but JD would win.

I’d assume that wall was made of pork, but this is Texas, so it was always a load of bull.

What we all want to know though is: did she successfully change his name too?
