Yes, but this publication is conservative. When they’re saying it’s barbaric, it’s bad.

They apparently sponsored a maker who prints guns, which is the justification.
Still stupid for a mountain of reasons, not least of which is that 3D printing guns is perfectly legal in many places.
Saudi Arabia can’t go after the companies that sell oak barrels to Jack Daniels because alcohol is illegal there.


It cycles seasonally, but it’s for social reasons. It cycles in the winter because of holiday traveling spreading local outbreaks, and back-to-school season when all the kids go back to be concentrated in 1 place.
Back to school is also why there’s a late-summer bump.
Winter also has people more concentrated indoors in colder climates, and summer does the same in hot areas. Texas had a HUGE outbreak a month ago because everyone was huddled indoors to get out of the heat while the kids were bringing it home from school.


The GOP survives off of 2 single-issue groups. Gun rights groups and Pro Lifers are by far the most important single-issue voting groups in the country, and the GOP has a strong hold on them. Not because they hold a majority view (most people want stronger gun control and access to abortion), but because almost nobody is single-issue on the other side.
Imagine a hypothetical world where Joe Biden had been pro-life (because of his Catholocism) and Donald Trump had been pro-choice (because he thinks fetuses are children and murdering children makes him giggle), but their stances on other issues were unchanged versus reality.
Very few pro-choice people would have swapped to voting for Trump. But millions of pro-life people would have flipped to Biden.
It’s similar with guns.


This month


Spoken like someone who doesn’t know how city government works. The mayor isn’t their boss and he has no direct control over any officers beyomd something like declaring an emergency. That would be a bad thing.
I work in municipal government, and it’s a very good thing that the politicians can’t fire me when their Karen friends call. The mayor and Council hire specific high-level people like the City Manager and the municipal judge, and nobody else.


Any time and effort they spend fighting impeachment is less time they spend fucking up everything else.


The fucking better impeach him if given the chance, yeah.


That’s more difficult from a jurisdictional perspective. For instance, you may an intersection of 2 streets that are owned by the city and the county with signals owned by the state but under control of a regional transportation authority formed by an interlocal agreement of 20 separate jurisdictions.
We just did a contract in my city for a new traffic monitoring system for 3 signals in town and it involved the city, county, state, and 2 neighboring cities.
ALPRs are poisonous enough right now you wouldn’t get all 5 of those entities to sign on at once.


Nice thing for me is I already have 2 phones. I get a phone stipend for work so I can keep my sensitive personal stuff and my sensitive work stuff on separate devices. I work in the public sector, so it’s especially important because of Open Records stuff.
But it also means that if I’m going on vacation out of country, I can just take the work phone that’s already sanitized.


They did. With an electronic lock. And now many of us with similar needs are in an forum talking about how to make that experience better.
Meanwhile, you’re spending effort being a dick to people over a topic you clearly don’t have any stake in. You need to find a healthier hobby. It will make everyone happier.


Well he is the one who took one to the head and survived.
Good thing there’s no prophecies about a megolmomaniac leader who engage in rampart corruption, mislead the religous, and survive an attempted assassination with a head injury while leading the world into an apocalypse.


That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.


“MLK never held a speech defending trans rights, therefore he was a bigot who hated trans people.”


The Republicans’ entire existence is due to 2 single-issue voting groups. Pro-Life and Pro-gun.


You can’t follow teachings of Jesus and be a Republican.
Christ said to pay your taxes, that hoarding wealth is a sin, and he flipped shit (and tables) over the commercialization of faith in the temple.
He threatens Hell one time (Matthew 25), and it’s for the mistreatment of the poor, hungry, sick, imprisoned, and foreigners.


Works fine for me.


I know my Time Warner/Spectrum router used to have one back in the day as part of their “nationwide wifi” or whatever it was called.
I bought my own modem and router years ago. Last year I bought a new TPLink router when I wanted to upgrade my wifi and I put custom firmware (OpenWrt) on it to make sure I was in comtrol.


Also - lots of ISP-provided routers have secondary unsecured networks as part of a network for customer devices that you may not even realize are coming from your own router.
The legislature can and shpuld impeach and remove from office. They have no part in arrewts or criminal convictions. That’s executive and judical.
