  • “Americans expect and deserve a president who prioritizes the nation’s well-being over personal gain,” she added.

    Yeah!

    “They will not tolerate a president who abuses the powers of his office to line his own pockets.”

    Weeeellllllll....

  • Isn't the President granted super-whatever clearance, through? I can just imagine Donny calling for some ridiculously secret files and just whipping out his phone to snap some pics of them "for a friend". At this point, I'm not convinced anyone would actually stop him!

  • From the article:

    According to the federal indictment, Alcala would take women's phones during traffic stops to confirm their insurance coverage or vehicle registration. But he searched their phones for nude images and took photos on his own personal phone, the indictment said.

    (Doesn't make it ok, but the cops weren't just walking up to the window and demanding to search their phones)

  • Not the original commenter but I'd wager similarly that yes, the vast majority of the American people are far too comfortable to venture into the "inconvenience" of an actual war. Gripe about it from our couches? Yep. Lift a finger to bring about actual change (and no, signing an online petition doesn't count) in the face of real, actual, severe consequence? ....nah.

  • I thought the same thing, except this is like a reverse-Infamous plot where (presumably) Tony is Doom rather than Doom is Ironman.

    I trust Marvel & the Russo Bros quite a bit at this point, but this is definitely a weird casting.

  • I really want to give him the entirely unwarranted benefit of the doubt that he's saying it won't matter in 4 years bc he won't be running (making the assumption he'll win this time and reach his term limit) but having watched the video I dunno, that "we'll have it fixed by then" sounds reeeeaaally ominous.

  • I just finished reading the LotR series with my now-11 yo son (we started a few years ago) and there were definitely plenty of sections like this that I converted to more understandable terms and concepts on the fly. Sure my son may not have heard this exact line, but he definitely got the idea that Shelob was old, bad, and Sauron had encouraged get 8 in exchange for a scary guard in the tunnels into Mordor the fell beasts were scary.

    Edit: apparently my son may or may not have gotten an entirely different version of the book told to him!

  • Bottom line, there's always a possibility a cloud/service provider could lose you data. That chance is (/should be) exponentially smaller on their environments however than the likelihood of your own local stores.

    If you're really serious about preserving your data, consider the 3-2-1 Backup Rule:

    3 copies of your data 2 different types of media 1 copy stored off-site
