Cops don’t even have the ability to enforce laws of the United States outside their jurisdiction. That New York cop you mentioned couldn’t arrest/detain/engage a criminal if they were on vacation in LA.

I’m sure he thinks the idea is dumb, but what he really hates is someone getting attention for being a decent person. That’s his real kryptonite. Having to give deference to people with qualities he could never bring himself to have while they are lauded for it.

That’s funny, the first Eva Braun loved the spotlight.

We already bribed you, why do we have to bribe you again‽

University of Idaho really hates this guy and this country.

That is a solid enough reason and one I wasn’t aware of. Exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to find out, thank you!

I’ve been eyeing Gitea. Do you have any reason for using Forgejo that I might overlook Gitea in favor of it?

Same boat, the exact same refurb 10tb drives I’ve got in my system are 2.5x my last purchase. But I did get a lot of fast RAM before the prices went nuts.

Don’t forget to check out Youtarr. I think it hits all the targets. You can do channels, playlists or individual videos. It has an option for a proxy URL to use to download which I believe can be set up with a self-hosted VPN. And it formats and sends things directly to Jellyfin.

Wait, we have a progressive leader?

The stupid fucking thing is it’s our (US Citizens) money, by and large. We keep giving them money to interfere in our elections so that we’ll keep giving them money. Classic Epstein class move.

Audiobookshelf for audiobooks and Navidrome for music.

How are your O2 sats while sleeping? Get a finger sensor and sleep with it on. Check the readings in the morning.

He’s not sure about giving them because no one is sure we still have them.

Back on it like his dad on his stepsister.

That wasn’t claim I was intending to make, apologies if it came across that way. No, I think it’s something you have to experience personally. The only point I was trying to make is that there are more people with that experience in cities than there are with city experience in rural areas.

I don’t doubt your experience but the numbers don’t lie on this one. There have been a small number of the urban population (I’ve not the numbers on how urban they are. If they’re in the suburbs or actual cities) that moved to more rural areas since the start of COVID. The number is quickly slowing down and it was small enough to not make a big impact in any one area. If you grew up in a rural area, think about anyone you knew from a city. And then think about the kids who go off to college (colleges aren’t real big in rural areas) and who never came back.

That’s the thing. Cities are full of people who left rural areas. The inverse is extremely rare. Plenty of people in cities know exactly what life is like in those rural “communities”.

I would not rely on Murkowski or Tillis. It’s true that it doesn’t have clear support, let’s not forget how easily Republicans fall in line and how many corporate Democrats are still in power only by the lack of elections in their seats so far. I’m timidly hopeful that this won’t pass but let’s not forget which timeline we’re living in.

While it’s true and will definitely happen, that’s the carrot to get Trump to do these things. But I believe the goal is to keep destabilizing global trade. I think it’s part of the giant tech oligarch plan to take over the whole kit and caboodle. I bet if you ask AI how best to destabilize the global economy it would tell you to start a war in Iran to disrupt shipping, oil and gas production, and for one of the largest trade partners to levy huge tariffs on friendly trade partners.
