What? Oh no, I had not written down the recipe for using gasoline to cook my spaghetti! Whatever shall I do?

Good.

Isn’t the Senate supposed to have a Marshall who has authority to haul people in who ignore subpoenas and the like?

The USA seems to have an awful lot of ‘regulations’ and ‘laws’ that have no real enforcement, it would seem.

Enough of ‘courtesy’ and ‘expectations’ for all governmental things such as this. Anything that isn’t mandatory apparently will be ignored. Close the loopholes. Amend every law and regulation with the full expectation that every person it might be brought to bear to is a slimy grifter wannabe-fascist that will only listen to the very real threat of incarceration and jailtime from this point forward.

Oh, and give the President 2, maybe 3 pardons max and none exercisable in the last year of office. Or something. Geez, anything.

Because the infection of Fascism and White Christian Nationalism has too many others in power who were in a position to soften her judgement; or too many are still in denial and aren’t willing to mete out definitive judgements to stop things before they can go further.

The rot goes deep and is nowhere near to being rooted out, and the US legal system seems to be locked in ‘kid gloves’ mode in dealing with these people.

So much for ‘checks and balances’ hmm U.S.? Wow.

Kill it all with fire

We should do more than block them, they need to be teergrubed.

…are there lights on in there, or was it the sunset shining through? Beautiful pic.

So they should switch to element.io, or host their own forum thingie on a VPS somewhere. Why is Discord essential? (Hint: it’s not)

You can, but now it’s called “a big monitor and your own server with a personal media library”.

Individual does this – CFPA indictment instantly.

MegaCorp does this – Oh dear, we absolutely must meet to plan to implement a meeting to form a panel that will plan to meet to maybe ask nicely that MegaCorp stop what they’re doing (or pay us lots of lobbying funds to make it go away, which it will do anyhow, just not quite as quietly as if they pay us $$$)

Oh freddled gruntbuggly,

Thy micturations are to me

As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.

Wow, today is a banner day. Drumpf getting hammered for over $350M for realestate fraud, and now this.

It’s Friday night, I was already planning to down a few, but this makes it an occasion! :)

My parents bought their first house immediately after marriage – they were about 22. Sure, they had a stool (I think it was just an apple crate actually) and a table in the living room, and not much else… but my Dad worked, and my Mom raised the kids as soon as they were born, quitting her job as a bank teller, so mostly single income. There was no generous dowry or gift from parents or relatives to purchase it.

This was in the late 1950s, mind you. But it shows how much buying power the middle class has truly lost since then.

There was a time when owning a home didn’t require one to be ‘rich’. Today’s situation in supposedly ‘rich’ nations is a travesty.

Hah, no – oops, will fix :) Thanks

Gee, no one could have predicted that AI might be dangerous if given access to nukes.

Hmm, if you could find a SCSI3->2 adapter, and then a SCSI->CompactFlash drive, you might be able to cobble a working solution together?

Yarrrr, mateys. Back to the Seas it is then!

You mean West China right? :)

(I hear the Pooh Bear hates that)
