This is good for Bitcoin

I hope so too lol. I do keep a spare quart of oil in the car just in case, I party like it's 1979

Exactly. The leadership has already picked Newsom, you can tell because he is already moving to the center.

Harris lacks a key, critical asset to win the Presidency in today's America: a penis. Newsom already has one, so is any a clear advantage.

There are less than 4 billion valid public IPv4 addresses. At 4 bytes per address, a table of banned IP addresses is no more than 16 GB, which is child's play to store these days.

You can compress it further and make a lookup table with 1 bit per public IP address (because you plan on banning a lot of IPs) and the size is reduced by 32x, to 512 MB. Now they can store their ban list in RAM indefinitely

No, it's the exact opposite of what you claim, it's encouraging young people to run for office even if an older incumbent is in the seat, and let voters decide in meaningful primaries.

The difference is that there are only so many of these elected political jobs. The only way for younger people to get direct experience is to run for them. And particularly for Congress, where there are only 435 seats nationwide and their districts were likely drawn to favor one party or another -- in many districts, the primary is the election.

Yes, these people are advocating for the older generation to step aside. But even if they don't, they are advocating that a healthy party should have meaningful primaries for every position, and have every incumbent (including those older politicians) actively defend their seats if they want to keep them. I bet that if an older politician is with it enough to win a contested primary, even these folks would support them in the general election. (Plus, that losing candidate would have had experience running that contested election, so they can do better next time.)

I have an old Subaru that burns oil, and coincidentally the light comes on right around when I should be change the oil anyway

You should take some time to reflect before deciding

In fairness, no self-respecting army would carry a surrender flag with them. They would just improvise if they needed one....

No, I can believe he does, in the same way that I've had good relationships with some of my bosses....

The pee tape doesn't exist. It has much more value to Russia as an unsubstantiated rumor that makes Trump double down on his paranoia.

But even if it did, it wouldn't make a difference to his supporters. They would start peeing on their own beds (and sleeping in them after!) in solidarity....

Maybe if Trump is this openly disobedient Putin will solve this problem for us, and put some polonium in his Ensure

Their response should be

Yeah, bullshit. They'll get some token change made and call it good. They'll fall in line in the end....

I've always figured the pee tape doesn't really exist. But that doesn't stop the Russians from spreading rumors about it, anyway. It's another way to get into Trump's head. It stokes his paranoia even further.

Furthermore, since it's very likely that this author is not going to make really complex points, you could just go to the library, skim through it for an hour or two, and take notes on the two or three points worth quoting. (Or go all old-school and make photocopies of a few pages....). This way there is no record of your use of this book anywhere

Despite everything, Márquez Duany doesn’t blame Trump. “There are probably too many people here,” he says. “I understand trying to get rid of those who shouldn’t be here. But Trump should look at each individual case.

“Like mine.”

Ha

I was hoping he ran Trump's head up a flagpole and was disappointed

That's a sweet ass-telescope
