And ICE right now doesn't take orders from Trump... They take orders from that other guy. The ACLU knows this because they understand constitutional law. They're not looking for the concrete deportation plans; they want general background on what the infrastructure looks like, so they can file challenges with the correct factual details quickly if shit does kick off.

For example, if they get the tail numbers on all the planes they can track them in flightaware or in a worse case by recruiting spotters. If they want to file a lawsuit, they're gonna need to know some details about who got sent where and when.

Gabe is absolutely right on this. If it doesn't completely recenter the first person shooter genre, it's not really a half life game.

Of course. That bro is OG and gonna throw a chair atcha.

This time America voted for the felon to become a dictator

No, they just voted for the term that runs 2025-1-20 to 2029-1-20. The dictator thing might end up happening, but it's not what was voted on.

Any trip to Mars is going to involve massive amounts of personal suffering and privation.

Minimum mission duration of 3 years. Living space no larger than a small RV. All the food is freeze dried. Can you imagine the smell that will develop? If anything breaks, it's on you to fix it, and there is no trip down to the hardware store, and no United Rentals to bail you out. Any medical complication? There's no ER, just whatever you've got in the kit.

And that's not even starting on the chronic radiation hazard for which there is no viable option to deploy shielding. And a freak solar flare can cook you with acute radiation that will kill you at any time.

Seriously, we're talking about an adventure that would be way more epic than Shackleton.

Aka "Windows subsystem for Linux"

Also this classic xkcd

Oh no. Are you telling me that an xkcd numbered in the 2000s is a "classic" now? Yikes

So the problem here is this.

1. Imagine that you have terminal cancer, but you're not a famous virologist.
2. Somebody comes along and offers you untested, experimental treatment injections for the low, low price of $75,000.
3. Gofundme.

I've seen exactly that type of scenario play out with my own relatives. It's a good reason why medical treatments marketed to the public should be proven to be safe and effective.

Even if you do have an MMU, there's no guarantee that you'll get a segmentation fault from a memory bug. You can still just get the weird side effects, if you fail to access the incorrect memory.

Undefined behaviour means exactly that. You have no idea what you could get.

Fine.

Although the tenth does end with

...are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Once upon a time, straight outta school, I wrote up solutions to problems from the Serway physics book. For Chegg. $5 per problem.

Fuck Chegg.

Yeah. He's just wearing some kind of standard Bajoran civilian uniform, right?

(And the military Bajoran uniform is red)

The court affirmed migrants’ right to interstate travel,

Fun fact: this is an unenumerated right of the people that courts have consistently recognized. The tenth amendment promises that the people retain their natural rights, even if they're not explicitly listed in the Constitution.

This is exactly the same category as the right to privacy that was postulated in Roe v. Wade and overturned in Dobbs.

Ice cream is always about churning air into cream. But nowadays the air ratio has definitely gone up. Seemingly across the board.

And that assumes that you're not buying a brand that has gotten into the fakery.

Well, they ain't starting from scratch, cause they designed a bunch of nukes for the USSR.

They almost certainly have workable designs in a file drawer, and the old facilities are all in Ukraine too. It's a question of how much decommissioning those got in the nineties, and how long it takes to enrich the uranium.

The democratic election was just one step in a long multi step process. This was true for the Nazis, and it is true for Trump.

To actually do all the stuff he wants to do, Trump will require people to cooperate with him. Do not give any cooperation from your end.

If he does something that's illegal, litigate it in court. If he wants to pass an enabling act, filibuster that s***. If he wants to ban books, circumvent those book bans. Do not give up a single inch of ground willingly. For every person that is rounded up into a camp, some other fairly normal person had to choose to do that. Don't. Trump can't run these camps all by himself.

Here's what I want say about that.

We've got a defense system against fascism here in the US of A called checks and balances, and another one called minority rights. And I think reasonable people should lean on those as hard as we can for as long as they remain viable options.

Fascism is something that comes to pass because people allow it to happen. Even now it is not yet inevitable. For example, Proud Boys and the other paramilitaries are not unified and they don't control the streets. The best course of action is to resist at every opportunity.

I don't think you can get a pardon on a civil judgement. You probably can be pardoned for any criminal contempt cases that arise from disobeying a civil judgement.

That could at least keep you out of jail, but federal judges have a federal Marshal service they can order around to repo assets if need be.

I just think they're neat.

DLR trains do, and several airport trains.

Some London Underground lines have drivers that only intervene in the automatic operation of the train in an emergency or abnormal condition.
