  • Perhaps, but they've been trained to interpret everything in a way that favors Trump. So it is unlikely to snap the majority of them out of their trance.

  • It's kind of horrifying nobody thought that through. What else did they fail to think about?

  • This doesn't seem that much worse than American rules that have already been in place for a long, long time.

    Do you really want to be like the US, though? I think maybe that's not a great idea. (Source: am from US)

  • Continuing the Wikipedia quote for context

    Pyle released a statement shortly afterwards which did not mention abortion, but said that he and his wife "have private beliefs as they pertain to our Christian faith. We believe separation of church and state is crucial to our nation flourishing." He also stated they voted for the Democratic Party, and were "troubled by what the Republican Party has become and [did] not want to be associated with it."[25][26][27]

  • The circuitry doesn't determine which cable is the correct one. That is determined by a protocol that associates various IP networks with different network interfaces. So, for example, all data going to 192.168.5.0/24 goes to interface eth0, and 192.168.0.0/24 goes to eth1 and 10.0.0.1 goes to eth2 and so on. Each interface is a separate RJ45 Ethernet port on your router, for example. It doesn't have to be RJ45 it could be your router has a Thick Ethernet or Thin Ethernet connector. Or it could have wifi. Or something else.

    Anyway, forwarding the packet to the correct interface / subnet can be done with a static route defined on the router. Another way is dynamic routing using BGP (border gateway protocol) which is an exterior gateway protocol that dynamically routes between your network and somewhere exterior to your network. Yet another protocol is OSPF (open shortest path first) which is used inside a corporate network for dynamic routing.

    For any of these the router knows how to send the IP packet to the next hop, another router, which in turn knows how to send it to the next hop.

    Where to send is based on the destination IP. The routers know which interfaces and which other routers are responsible for different subnetworks.

    It is sort of like how once your mail makes it to a main hub in your state, it is then routed to the main hub for the destination state, and from there to the post office responsible for the destination zip code, and then to the mail route (and hence truck) responsible for the street and number.

    So if your destination is 1.1.1.1 maybe there is a router known to be responsible for 1.0.0.0/8 and then it knows what router is responsible for 1.1.0.0/16 and so on until we get to a router that has 1.1.1.1 on one of its subnets then it sends directly to 1.1.1.1.

  • And if you can't find an answer for a mint problem on a mint forum you might find an answer on an Ubuntu forum. In other words, add Linux mint to your search first and if that fails try Ubuntu instead. At least that has worked well for me over the last decade plus.

  • I guess if they won't shout then we have to. Surely we know some older people who need to know this...
