Signed a while ago, turns out. If you haven’t and you’re a EU citizen, go do it now.

Uhm, right. My point still stands, though. You can’t lift any story about this because of what that would drag with it. There’s always questions, who is to blame, who didn’t do their job, what was the motivation of the gunman, lots of little threads to pull on without even trying too hard. If that does become a big story, then the questions are inevitable and no one wants to answer questions about a clusterfuck like that. No one can see a winning angle with any certainty, so they just drop everything about it like the hot potato it is.
Only Trump wants it, and he can’t have it, poor guy. Makes my day.
“Forgetting”. They do not want to start pulling that thread and I suspect that it is because of instructions from above. No one wants any focus on it. Republicans because of why would a republican wanna kill Trump and general gun control? Not an area where they want speculation to start running. As for the Democrats, investigation into what the fuck the secret service was doing will land on them being the sitting government. So under the carpet it goes. Lone maniac and nothing to see. Move on please.
As others has commented as well, this is just ripples. Trump is so thoroughly corrupt and bought this doesn’t even register. If you’re a strong man dictator, you don’t even have to buy him, he’s free to play. I think what the money is starting to realize is that he won’t reliably stay bought and is unpredictable because of it. Even Putin had to brake the spy manual rules and very visibly have the handlers meet him much more frequently and openly for such a high visibility asset. But as this is Trump, the rules do not apply.
As for the money, they aren’t really used to this way of operating and since it is literally impossible to keep Trump on script they get very nervous about what he’ll say if they get on his bad side or even by accident through his less than coherent ramblings. It is not easy dealing with a petulant, half senile old crook with the demeanor and attention span of a coked up five year old that always gets his way. Everyone with half a brain that have spent time with him knows this. The look on that reporters’ face when he was handed that crayon painting tells the whole story. I guess the people that voted for him get that look all the time and believe it is something positive? They mistake a tired “sure, buddy, whatever you say” as actual agreement?
What is positive is that the money seem to have gotten the message by now and they are slowly edging away from Trump. Without being too obvious, of course, bets needs to be hedged. The number of news pieces without unabashedly obvious Trump/Republican spin has slowly increased lately. This has nothing to do with any reporters suddenly growing a brain of course, it is all mandated from above. The money got the message that Trump is bad for business and they are acting on it.
That’s my take and I’m not known for having a positive outlook on current events. Still very much not a fan of what the atrocity helpers of the dems are doing. It is arguably even worse when you consider that they aren’t halfwits like Trump and presumably actually know what they are doing and still aid an actual fucking genocide that wouldn’t even be possible without US help. Despicable.
When I was in 7th or 8th grade, I did just that while waiting for first class. I sat opposite a girl in the corridor and was staring right at her crotch, completely zoned out. When I came to, I realized what I was looking at and looked up at her quite angry face. I then, very smoothly I thought, blushed to a tomato red color and faked a zoning out with my gaze in another direction. Crisis averted.
This is a sure sign that the NSA have been reading everything encrypted with standard cryptos for quite some time but they see that the opposition (China in this case) is showing signs of catching up. Can’t have that, even if it means losing capability for themselves. They have other ways in so the drop in capability is not as big as one would think.
I personally wouldn’t trust anything but one time cryptos to be safe and I don’t trust any algorithm from that source to be safe. It certainly should be and it is very much in their and our interest to make sure that it is, but the possibility that they are trying to eat the cake and pull a fast one is frighteningly far from zero. It would be monumentally stupid to try because shit like that always gets out and that would jeopardize every system in the world. Stupid isn’t exactly in short supply these days.
“Old people”. These whippersnappers are getting uppity it seems. Time for a spanking.
And what is this CD people mention? We play our music on shellac records.
Yeah, sounds fun, but I prefer my dogs cooked. Hot-dogging, as it were.
Album cover, yes. Wasnatch - Front To Back
Try listen to Wasnatch - Front to Back. They used this as the album cover.
~I prefer Blade 3 and have seen it many times.~ It is very bad, too campy and sooo over the top. I love it.
That article almost hurt to read.
His whole look is very not butch. That beard is very well groomed and his hair is immaculate. His skin also looks very cared for. I do believe his dear papa may have been a lumberjack.
Nothing wrong with that of course, but I think he would be a lot happier if he just embraced it, poor thing.
But for a glorious few moments you’d be in nerdvana. Worth it. Refresh rate will simply be calculated by how many electrons hit the screen per second, so not quite infinite. Bet the number is pretty high, though.
If using dm’s gets you to use metric, fine. If “taking their measurement system and fucking it up” is the only way to get you to align with the literal rest of the world, so be it. Go right ahead, we’ll adapt.
You’re right, it doesn’t contradict your statement and the middle/lower classes picking up on it may in fact have happened the way you described. I could have expressed that better. Sorry about that.
No one does that except for people believing it’s a thing the upper class/nobility does. Which of course they don’t. Try to find video of the Nobel price dinner for example and see if any of the royalty poke their pinky out while drinking. Not that I’d worry about emulating those unelected sponges, but if there’s one thing they do know, it’s etiquette.
Correct. You’ll start breathing after you black out. Also, you’ll probably fail to even hold your breath that long. Takes training and a LOT if will power to be able to. You know that very uncomfortable panicky feeling that starts after a while when holding your breath? When that gets going for real, you are not even halfway to blacking out. Our body has strong feelings about breathing and is pretty good at letting you know how it feels about the lack of air. Or technically, the build up of CO2. You can somewhat bypass your body’s CO2 detection by hyperventilation, but the end result is the same, you start breathing after you black out.
