Just like with Reddit: it’s about the headline, not the article content. Same article, different headline? It would be a big stretch to argue it is trying to divide us.

That’s the official dev board. You can build a router with that, but most people don’t build their routers up from components.

GL-iNet definitely predates it though.

They just need to point how weird he is and how he seems to lack energy.

Only if I save a penny in your shoes.

Do they have fixed expiry after which the thing is inert, or just a battery that runs down after which a different energy source (or shock to the battery) is needed to trigger them?

Those who can, move?

Interestingly, my SSDs tend to fail due to reaching their maximum writes (takes roughly 15 years).

My HDDs fail due to shock or overheating. Tend to last roughly 9 years.

Gorka has a history of inflammatory rhetoric, ties to far-right groups, and legal troubles….

This seems like requirements to be part of this administration? Not seeing a problem here other than that he’ll produce more infighting, which at this point is a benefit.

So when is Melania being deported?

Canada and Mexico really have to renegotiate their own trade deal. Of course, that’s assuming PP doesn’t become PM of Canada, because he’s already insulted Mexico multiple times while just trying to position himself for the role.

The big thing is whether people are behaving in a manner that brings them to the attention of the government.

It’s not like you have to give your SSN to a carrier to get a phone; the government needs a reason to be tracking you.

Now, they very much could put in a warrant for all phones crossing the border at unusual times/locations. But someone who snuck in with family and is working cash-only jobs to get by is unlikely to get tagged by the government unless they’re going somewhere or doing something the government is already watching.

Watermelon.

I have to admit; I suspect that some of the Reddit bots are calling from inside the company.

I never tossed my Reddit account when I left, so I still get notified of replies to my posts and comments; I’d say there’s a third type of bot - an “engagement bot” that takes high karma comments on old posts and replies to them in a manner that adds nothing but could trigger the original commenter to reply.

At first I thought it was actual people, but it’s always young accounts with high post volumes, all the same type of post that nobody who had actually read the original thread would have written. And the accounts seem to target high karma comments, and aren’t limited to any particular subreddit.

Funny thing… the FBI is “weaponized” against people who have dodgy backgrounds. I can see how that could present issues for the modern Republican party.

That said… I’ve had that check done. It took about 4 months. Obviously, I’m not as high a priority as the US executive team, but Trump is in a situation where he needs to get everyone vetted by mid-December. That’s better than what he did last time around, where he didn’t even begin most of the vetting for appointments until after inauguration.

Because we’re detached from WWII; the story of what actually happened is largely settled. With current events, you’re going to find all sorts of people defending indefensible acts because they’re still too connected to them.

Trump’s team is slowly discovering why we have government and bureaucracy.

This is the most important bit: If you weren’t born in the US and aren’t white skinned, avoid any border crossings from 2025-2028 if you expect to get back in.

So it might be worth planning a location outside the US where you can meet up with those you care about if things DO go sideways.

Sure! The US will be free to trade with Canada. There will still be tariffs on softwood lumber, steel, and many other things if Canada wants to sell them in the US.

But it could only be incompetence or showmanship that makes them want it presented to the public. Most likely the second. They want to put the FBI in a position where they can make the FBI look incompetent, because the FBI isn’t allowed to publicly discuss the parts that make them appear competent and reasonable.
