If you forget about carrying your gun, than you are not handling it with the required responsibility.

Old enough they still know Prolog.

Reminds me a bit of that scene in "2001 - A Space Odyssey" where Bowman unplugs HALs memory modules, and HAL begs him not to do that.

Good that we don't do Halloween here.

The moment you thought you steered the Republicans will be the last moment before they happily stick a bunch of knives in your back. That is not prejudice, that is experience.

So instead of the websites tracking me, it would just be google that does so. With much more control and detail than ever. And then google will sell that information to those websites for even mroe profit!

We could exchange them for a few million other refugees from your continent.

I use instant coffee for baking. And I had instant coffee as part of the tea-making facilities in British B&Bs (but I definitely prefer the tea there).

Anybody surprised that they nominated a criminal? When they probably don't have any normal person to vote for?

With one downside: The prime time is (for us here) in the middle of the night.

US politics is delivering so many opportunities for eating popcorn. "The Speaker Show: Who Will Fail Today", "Trump vs. the Law - Showdown in Court".

lacking support for the latest Kindle features

What kind of support are they "lacking"? They do contain the text and basic formatting. What else would they need in a book?

I'd guess that those "lacking" features have something to do with user tracking or DRM.

You are not wrong here.

Of course, no backdoor is secure, but among them, there are the just plain bad and the even worse.

If the disks are of the same type, check their serial numbers.

Once I set up a RAID with four 120GB disks. Back then, they were basically close to cutting edge technology as a 16TB drive would be today, and expensive as f-ck. Within a week, two disks failed, bringing the raid down. One failed in the evening, the other in the morning. When I called about warranty, I noticed that all four disks were within +-20 in their serial numbers, and got suspicious. I got the two drives replaced (with different, wide spread serial numbers), set up the RAID again, only to have a fail within less than ten days again - another one of the original set dead. This time I asked not only for a replacement of the next dead one, but also of the fourth, which was declined. I cut my losses and set up a way smaller RAID with only three disks. The fourth is in a drawer somewhere, wit a big red warning sticker.

Like... carpetbomb them into kingdom come?

As in "Radioactive hot".

Not every writer has the fantasy that Tokien had.

Maybe not always (This "always" depends very much on your age). Basically, Republican move downhill from a normal party to a fascist MAGA-head group started with Nixon, and got accellerated with Reagan. But most people nowadays don't even remember the times when the GOP had been a normal party capable of doing politics with Democrats and the people, and not just against them.

From the very group of Republican supporters that voted them into congress. Go figure, "representatives", what kind of creatures you represent...
