If he allows this then the other 364 days of the year will turn into open season on cops. Gangs will be out for vengeance, and will not let it slide.

Not to mention that virtually every gun owner out there will prepare for such a day. You’ll end up with countless firefights between a relatively small number of cops and a lot of heavily armed groups with nothing to lose. Unless the orange Cheeto has some way of magically confiscating all firearms ahead of this then I think it’s going to be very difficult to convince the cops to do this.

I use Calibre to remove the DRM from all ebooks I buy. Not that I buy a lot of them, but hell if I’ll let Amazon be the keeper of the keys.

Simpsons did it!

Not to worry. They’ll reappear a few months before the next election cycle.

I think it’s hilarious somebody pointed out that he’s younger than Weird Al.

IANAL, but I believe these laws cover audio recording only. OP shouldn’t have an issue if they use something that records video only.

Think about it a second. I live in a two party consent state, but I see security & surveillance cameras everywhere. If two party consent was required for video then they wouldn’t be there.

Here’s to hoping for such a big win for Harris that the Georgia EV’s are inconsequential.

I’ll slap tariffs on banana imports so people buy domestically grown bananas!

I’ll slap tariffs on cocoa imports so people buy domestically grown cocoa!

Well in the eyes of the GOP you could just tear up the paperwork and walk away at any time, so clearly it doesn’t count.

I’m over 50. I never answer unknown numbers. I also never click on links in text messages from people I don’t know.

Politicians are largely to blame for both. I get so many calls & texts from local, state, and national political candidates begging me for money…

Professional hitmen don't actually exist.

Sammy “The Bull” Gravano would probably disagree with you. He’d likely consider himself a professional since he admitted to involvement in 19 murders. Granted they were all mob related, and not “for hire” by anybody with a pile of cash and a grudge…

It's not on Israel if a terrorist lets their kids play with their tools.

Man has pager in his pocket. Man is sitting down having a meal with his family. Pager blows up in his pocket, killing the child sitting next to him, and probably killing or injuring other family members.

Targeted or not, that child's death is squarely on Israel. They decided that collateral damage was acceptable when they chose this method of mass assassination.

Back when cell phones were just starting to get “smart” I knew a few folks that carried both a pager & phone. They lived in rural areas where pager coverage was decent but phone coverage was spotty at best, and non-existent in places.

The linked article quotes somebody as saying the dropped weights were most likely to slow the descent as they approached the ocean floor. They just dropped a little weight, but not enough to start ascending again.

The investigation will also examine whether there is any evidence of misconduct or criminal acts in connection with the incident

What is the legal definition of misconduct anyway?

Given that Rush seemed to willfully ignore warnings from experts and fired people unwilling to do things like sign off on the safety of the sub I think there’s definitely a case for misconduct, at the very least.

Reminds me of the movie The Final Countdown…

DigiCert recently was forced to invalidate something like 50,000 of their DNS-challenge based certs because of a bug in their system, and they gave companies like mine only 24 hours to renew them before invalidating the old ones…

My employer had an EV cert for years on our primary domain. The C-suites, etc. thought it was important. Then one of our engineers who focuses on SEO demonstrated how the EV cert slowed down page loads enough that search engines like Google might take notice. Apparently EV certs trigger an additional lookup by the browser to confirm the extended validity.

Once the powers-that-be understood that the EV cert wasn’t offering any additional usefulness, and might be impacting our SEO performance (however small) they had us get rid of it and use a good old OV cert instead.

If we did a straight popular vote it would be no contest. Thank the electoral college for all the fuckery…

This guy has never heard of South of the Border…
