City Council member of a non-listed Twin Cities suburb I know:

FBI is involved. Most water systems use one of two control/alert systems that are old and make them easy targets.

All they did was shut down components of the systems e.g., wells/sewer lift stations. Most cities were able to cycle manually to get back up and running. There was not messages warning or ransom of which I am aware.

They could have done a lot more damage if they wanted to, rather than just shutting things down.

From the looks of that trailer, Coyote vs ACME just might be the movie that gets me to bite the bullet, pay the exorbitant price for a ticket to go see it in a theater. The last time I set foot in a movie theater was 2015, for "The Force Awakens".. Since then, if there's a movie that I'd like to see (highly doubtful, with the sewage that Hollyweird usually puts out) I'd wait till it came out on Redbox, then I'd rent it, rip it to my media server and voila.. Can't even do THAT anymore.. Always had a warm place in my heart for Wiley Coyote and the Roadrunner, and of course, Acme..

Umm.. You must be mistaken as I NEVER said I *was* a "at-large SCOTUS" member. What the oath I took requires of me is to fight to keep the government operating Constitutionally. Yes, I know its a lost cause, but I have to keep trying, doing what I can, and watching human garbage like a growing number of members of Congress, who openly claim to be communists.

Hey Sparky.. Those people the President is ordering to be arrested are ILLEGAL ALIENS, that means they entered the country ILLEGALLY. I swear, you lefties are brain-dead.. You break the law, you either go to jail, or in the case of illegal entry to the US, you are sent back to where you came from. I used to think even a moron could understand that.. I've found I was wrong..

Alas, it isn't an illegal search. Federal courts just upheld again yesterday that it is a legal search without a warrant

Then these "courts" are nothing more than black-robed unindicted criminals. These judges take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. When they "rubber-stamp" something like this that is a slap in the face to the Constitution, they ARE nothing but black-robed unindicted criminals.

The fact that these rules need to be written at all should tell us that we now live in a police state. I took an oath at age 19 when I was inducted into the Army, that binds me to support and DEFEND the Constitution, I've never been relieved of that oath. The fact that a group of unelected bureaucrats somewhere in DC has decreed that I, as a citizen of this nation MUST allow access to my most PRIVATE communications when returning from a foreign country is FAR BEYOND UNCONSTITUTIONAL. And if I contrive a way to prevent disclosure of my data, by deleting it, and the police state arrests me for this, its once more BLATANTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Its as though the 4th and 5th Amendment didn't exist.. I'm 76 years old and most likely won't be around much longer to see more of our Constitutional rights flushed down the toilet.

I had one breakthrough DMT experience where I saw 'the machine elves' (I just saw what I describe as fast-moving fractals that I 'felt' were beckoning to me); but, we have matching experiences w/the other primary psychedelics: I only had relatively minor on-top visual distortions with even the largest doses of LSD (1500+ mcg) or mushrooms.

That said, everyone is different. I know that some of my friends absolutely lost their fucking minds on a few tabs of LSD and, purportedly, experienced wild hallucinations that I have to trust were real to them but haven't ever experienced myself.

No kidding.. LibreOffice is the cats-meow!! I frequently interchange docs written with MSOffice and I have NEVER had a problem with LibreOffice handling the file correctly AND I've never had someone I exchange files with who STILL uses MSOffice tell me that the file was now screwed AND the last version of MSOffice I've ever used was the 2010 version. That was back when I still used MS products.. Since then I've been Linux and LibreOffice...
