Then again, he didn't issue 'pre-emptive' pardons for his family, friends, crackhead son, etc yet,

The only reason Biden issued those pardons was because Trump was bragging about how he was going to weaponize the DOJ to go after people.

As for the clemencies, that does not absolve the person of the crime they committed. All it does is show mercy on them.

Compare that to all the January 6th terrorists who have been pardoned. And now there's talk of paying them for their troubles. No, not the $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund*. There is still talk of paying these people for their crimes.

* Anti-weaponization is straight out of Orwell. Or the Soviet Union. Take your pick. Apparently imprisoning people who attack police aren't criminals in his eyes.

Yes, Lenovo had this feature. They were called the Yoga.

if expense is the concern, don't buy a mac book

Fixed it for you.

Because it makes your screen all dirty and gives you gorilla arms. Any other stupid questions ? PS: I've been known to punch colleagues who touch my screen after I told them not to.

To improve debit (total number of cars per minute) you can:

• increase speed
• increase the number of lanes
• increase density (lower distance between cars)
• decrease flow instabilities

Only the 1st one really gets you faster to where you want to go, but it's more complex than that. If you lower the speed you increase (4) which in turns increases (3)... There are density thresholds which behave like phase transitions in physics... It's fun to simulate.

The bad faith in your post is incredible. After 70+ years of hostility it's not like we can warm up to russians immediately after a regime change. You need to put up some efforts into it like happened with Europe for instance: economic ties, then unification, along with political direction, military common ground, student exchanges, etc... After a few decades we can talk.

Reminds me of that post (quoting from memory) where a guy says the reason he needs to own a gun is because if his child needs an operation, no one's going to stop him from going to Italy where it's cheaper.

When someone builds a company and new product, they are creating wealth. The companies he owns are the net worth.

The only reason he has these companies is because of socialism. He has received billions in taxpayer money to keep his companies alive.

Side note, the same federal agency doling out taxpayer money to him is the same one he targeted under DOGE.

Double side note, Musk whined about another stimulus package after covid, while taking an unknown amount of money from the U.S. taxapyer during covid despite his company being worth $270 billion at that time.

For a slightly longer version of the amount of money the socialist has taken from the U.S. taxpayer, read on.

Then We The People need (or have needed) to become post-newspaper, indeed post-any-sort-of-centralized-media, since all centralizations are pressure points for coercion and compromise.

Make Usenet Great Again? There is No Cab-NO CARRIER

"Usenet's remaining worthwhile discussions" has been a corner case for well over a decade now.

And while I am still working on OpenWater and Alignable, the only thing I've gotten from LinkedIn in the past year is rewrite-your-resume scams

No we don't. We just want Russia to be a good neighbor and stop attacking everyone around them.

I used to think this was more or less true. But now I see it's been heavy-handed propaganda the whole time. To debunk it just look at the map of Israel over the last 80+ years. From nothing, to barely a dot, to growing and growing. Is that possible in an honest way, i.e. by purchasing land like you'd do in your own country ? No, it's been done by stealing it outright, piece by piece. No wonder the people it's been stolen from are pissed and trying to fight back, no matter how you call them. Israel is the only country which hasn't defined official frontiers; let that sink in.

We decided "I really really don't want x to happen to me, so I won't x someone else." And then we agreed that x will be categorized as "terrorism" instead of "war."

Then recently (yesterday?) we Americans apparently changed our mind about whether or not it would be ok if Iran (or anyone else) blew up America's civilian water supply infrastructure, no big deal, so we're doing that now, telling the whole world that it's acceptable. It's just war, what can ya do?

For now, people can worry about what type of weapons to use and whether or not certain types should be banned.

But in the future, all the debates will be about will be "how do we pick just the right grid squares in which to Kill All Humans?"
