I haven’t but fucked if I know how.

And execs wonder why we torrent.

How is hurting a feral cat a criteria for what he is allowed to do? A coyote would certainly have no compunction, why should he?

Hypersonic deterrence have never been proven to work.

That’s a false equivalence, a hyperbolic statement, not worth consideration.

As long as it keeps me employed I am happy to move pixels all day.

Windows is just another ad platform, now.

No. Raised in the faith but never truly believed.

It’s logically dishonest to say “There are no gods.” How do you prove there isn’t something? Maybe you just can’t see it right now. Agnostic atheist is the only logical position one could take.

Best piece of advice I can give about learning anything (that doesn’t involve risk of injury): don’t try to learn everything there is to learn. Decide what you want to do and learn what you need to do that. Tell me something you’d be interested in doing…

“Not remotely interesting.”

Arduino and hobby electronics. It started out as a continuous loop pad dye machine to save me having to dye fabric by hand, strictly mechanical, but then I wanted to automate adding the chemicals at the right times. Then it was keeping the dye liquor a consistent temperature. Then it was draining the trough automatically. Then I figured out I could design my own PCBs and have them fabricated. It just keeps going…

My degree is in technical theater. I love sets and lighting design, but costuming is where I landed thanks to the local Renaissance festival.

Switched years ago and never looked back.

That’s how RICO works: you don’t have to have committed the actual crime, but if your actions materially contributed to the commission of the crime, that’s considered pretty much the same thing.

Because there’s not a gravy seal out there with the balls to stand up to actual, trained soldiers.

This would require a…uh…you should pardon the expression…re-tooling…to really make it work.

I don’t think any of the gravy seals have it in them to actually take on the government. Soon as they see their buddies torn in half by a 50cal it’s going to blow the fight right out of them. Sure, sure, it’s all “I’ll die for my country!” but you put a gun to their head and say, “America needs your life now”, not one in ten will have the courage of their conviction.

I used to doom-scroll to see what bullshit embarrassment Trump was going to put our country through on any given day. Now I’m doom scroll hoping to read his obituary.
