It’s so exhausting to see a legislator acting as if an executive order applies to them.

Dumb fuck, you don’t work in the executive branch. It doesn’t apply to you.

Since he won the election in November, in spite of putting in over $1k with employer match every month my balance has actually gone down. This is fucked up.

God dammit, I hate this deflection. Oh no, you aren’t hurting the company, your hurting the workers.

Fuck that noise. If our government was doing its job, it would have protections in place for workers.

I went through my ancestry last week with the hope I’d have something to grant me citizenship elsewhere. My dad’s side went back 6 generations and I still didn’t find anyone outside the US. My mother’s was 5 generations before I hit Austria and Germany.

As far as I’m aware, he’s not even allowed to drive. The secret service won’t let even a retired president drive on public roads.

I’d think a non-profit could do that pretty well. Set it up to take donations directly and have all donations be tax deductible.

My 401k is down 3 grand, even after I’ve put in $1000 in just the last month. Fuck everyone who voted for this asshole.

Totally reasonable. I don’t shuck anymore, so I don’t have the concern of getting the wrong disk.

I’ve personally never had a problem with their returns before. But I haven’t had a doa disk out of their “renewed” internal disks yet.

Specifically the renewed drives sold by Amazon. They are the returned/refurbished drives. I’ve probably bought 10 or so in the last few years and that’s how they’ve all come. I haven’t had a failed drive out of them yet. (Seagate 22tb and WD reds 18tb)

Amazons renewed drives usually come well packaged. Antistatic bag, suspended inside very thick air pocket thing that completely encases the drive, inside a good cardboard box.

This is why scraping LinkedIn works so well. Using the consistent email format gets you to your target easily. I’ve used it to get the contact info of the CTO of American Airlines before (his auto-reply included his cell number.)

A good 5 years ago or so I was getting a breakfast burrito when an older couple came in asking for directions. They had an old school mapbook. It took a minute to orient myself, but I found they were on the wrong page.

Its one of my bucket list items, but an old school road trip with nothing but a mapbook and a compass. No real destination, no time frame. Just the open road and exploring. And no GPS to make it efficient or optimized where I’ll soar right past everything.

The government isn’t the place to run “scream tests.”

Weird that my mind just read that as MKUltra.

Maybe appropriate for AI.

Because gun control is often written by people who don’t understand guns and by people who don’t like guns. They also often are written and proposed without much input from gun owners. I’m not against gun control necessarily, but many attempts are just stupid legislation that would be ineffective in meeting it’s goal of decreasing gun crimes.

So many gun control laws proposed are unenforceable such as storage laws.

Assault weapon bans use arbitrary features to distinguish them. And many of these are features that make them easier to control when shooting, which inherently means they are more dangerous now.

I really think there is a huge cultural issue around guns that needs to be addressed. Guns are thought of and treated as a solution to disagreements rather than something to protect life and liberty. A solution that is as equally valid is running away or compromising. These are made worse with rhetoric like “fuck around and find out” or " come try that here."

We also have media that has been purposely trying to divide the populace and make them afraid. Afraid when they leave their house all the time and afraid that someone is going to come into their house.

We have a lot of issues surrounding guns. And while gun control will be a feature of tackling it, so much more needs to be done to address it.

I would love to see everyone just start ignoring Trump and everything he says and just keeps doing their job.

That was my first thought. I want to find one that is smaller and distributed near me.

I might start with Crown Royal. At least the owning company is British (they also own my favorite American whiskey.)

As an American here, I think I might join them. Start buying more Canadian goods.

AOC for president.

What I wouldn’t give to be able to say “Fuck You” to his face.
