  • Hands down the most advanced and secure smartphone os is grapheneOS.

    It only runs on pixel devices. App sandboxing, buffer overflow protection, separate users, optional sandboxed google play if you need it for banking apps, automatic reboot after a set time to re encrypt your filesystem, assigning permissions for app access to folders and the list goes on and on.

  • You swear on it when you take the Oath Of Office.

     
        
    "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
    
      

    However,

     
        
    The Constitution provides no standards for determining whether a President has violated their oath. The fact that other branches interpret the Constitution, and may do do inconsistently with the President, creates difficulties in determining whether the oath has been violated. Just as some Presidents have suggested that the oath may require them to disregard laws when doing so is necessary to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, some lawmakers have argued that the President’s oath requires them to execute all laws, regardless of whether the President believes them to be constitutional.
    
    The Supreme Court has not addressed these competing views, and the oath and its surrounding text do not suggest that questions about violations of the oath were intended for judicial resolution. The Court has held that the President is generally immune from civil or criminal liability for official actions taken while in office, which may impede judicial resolution of questions relating to a President’s violation of their oath arising during the President’s tenure. The Constitution’s justiciability requirements are another potential obstacle to resolution in federal court.
    
    Impeachment provides a vehicle by which Congress may adjudicate a President’s alleged violation of their oath. Articles of impeachment against Andrew Johnson charged the President with being unmindful of the high duties of his office and of his oath of office. Draft articles of impeachment to be used against President Richard Nixon alleged that President Nixon violated his oath, though he resigned before these articles were adopted.  Articles of impeachment adopted in the impeachment of President Bill Clinton charged the President with violating his constitutional oath, as did articles of impeachment adopted in both impeachments of President Donald Trump.
    
    The political process provides another check on the President’s violation of their oath. James Madison and Alexander Hamilton suggested in various contexts that political accountability might help ensure the President’s fidelity to their office. In his second inaugural speech, George Washington observed that violating his oath would invite the upbraidings of all who are now witnesses of the present solemn ceremony.

  • Scruffy Nurfherder strikes again.

  • This series of video is so awesome. Didn't know there was a book. Now I have to buy it!

    1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
    2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
    3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
  • That's not a time machine, that's a phone blue booth.

  • Alright you primitive screw heads, listen up! You see this? This, is my boomstick! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right, shop smart shop, S-Mart. You got that?

  • At a medium pace.

  • We're all mad down here!

  • Every batch audio transcoder I've tried didn't keep my meticulously curated directory structure. Just threw things around willy nilly often creating directories for artests the files didnt belong to. So I thought I'd build what I wanted.

    So I have a new coding project that is forcing me to think differently. Never done any asynchronous python before. Never really needed to, still don't if I didn't want to transcode using ffmpeg as fast as possible. In the past I've used subprocess to roll my own ffmpeg wrapper. It was only a few videos at a time and not hundreds of audio files.

    Only about 8 hours in, two classes 128 lines of code and most of that time was research. Think I'm nearly done. Done with the easy stuff any way. Have the que all set up but nothing's actually transcoding yet.

    By the nine, i love learning, even when I'm stuck.

  • Might be the best review of a game I have ever read. Looks like I have a new game to buy.

  • Lots of good advice, I'd add.

    Know your fish, their habitat and feeding habits. Some fish live deeper than others thus a fly wont work and a lure or bait and sinker would.

    If they eat flies, time of day is pretty important. If you spend enough time on lakes you'll notice they are pretty active at dusk and dawn. You'll see them jumping. That means they are hungry and can see well enough to get their prey. Cloudy days are good because they can see out the water all day long or at least when the sun isn't shining.

    In rivers I look for eddies. Places that a fish wouldn't have to work so hard to stay in one spot. Their there to rest, but if a nibble comes along they'll bite.

    With flies and lures try to mimic an injured animal. If using worms or bait, patience.

  • Sorry meant to reply to post, got to excited after giving you the UPs.
