“Trump threatens to rape any judge who refuses…”

I have seen no evidence for your assertion about monetary compensation.

You’re basing your beliefs on tribalistic other-hating, a very post truth thing to do.

Do better. Show evidence.

We as a civilization need to stop respecting adults who have Invisible Friends in the Sky

And NH has a Q infestation of scammer grifter libertarians (I mean the ones in NH are especially scammy and grifty)

NH needs some good role models

They’re not evil and old like Trump They’re just old and unable to fight a post-truth populist like Trump

They don’t understand how important it is to never show capitulation

Shaheen is more leftist than me

We think of Patriot as “air defense” I bet at least some of them are actually for offense . I love the idea of Ukrainian fighter/bomber pilots taking out even more & hardened targets inside Russia.

People are acting like it’s total capitulation. It’s not. Per NYT :

The spending package would, however, reject some of Mr. Trump’s spending proposals. While he has moved to eliminate the Food for Peace program, which sends surplus American crops to communities around the world that are experiencing famine and starvation, the bill would provide $1.2 billion for the program, which many Republicans hailing from farm states have championed.

So I am one of Jeanne Shaheen’s constituents (and, NH being a small state, I’ve met her more than once)

I just sent her office a constituent note

Compromise was the adult, responsible, and ABSOLUTELY WRONG thing to do. I know your concerns are for your constituents and you are weighing delaying ACA extension versus SNAP and ATCs. That is the wrong calculus. Trump just dared you in a game of brinksmanship. You’re a mother, you know that if you get into a battle of wills with a three-year-old, you damn well better win. Because caving means you are not the one in control anymore.

Or they fear their constituents who are hungry and can’t see gramma for Thanksgiving will punish them as incumbents no matter that ® did this

TBH I think they are weighing the pain to their constituents of losing ACA benefits, versus shutting down air travel and tens of millions of hungry families.

It’s pure evil but it’s MAGA

Vlad Vexler’s comments were along these same lines.

Like, it was bad journalism to splice the start and end of the speech. BUT the speech itself interwove “protest peacefully” with “fight like hell” intentionally to make it hard for a soundbite clip to pin down.

What they should have done is not play his speech at all, but instead talk to legal experts about the evidence in the insurrection case against him.

Per the relevant NYT article it seems like the Dems are willing to push the vote to extend until next year after the midterms, when they feel they will gain seats & be able to pass

[T]he package omits the Democrats’ central demand in the shutdown fight: an extension of federal health insurance tax credits that are slated to expire at the end of the year. […] Some Senate Democrats pointed to their party’s wins as a sign that voters supported their fight to extend the health coverage subsidies, and urged leaders to dig in. But others were wary of prolonging a shutdown that has already had painful consequences, and were searching for a compromise that would allow them to end the crisis.

Now if the drive contains personal data but you want to resell it, boot into the BIOS and see if there is a TRIM SSD / SECURELY DELETE SSD option. Doing a manufacturer’s “Trim” on the disk will delete it completely and securely.

If you want to destroy storage, whether it’s spinning platters or NAND SSD, the single fastest most effective way is with a hand drill. A few holes through the media will make it unrecoverable.

For an SSD, overwriting to wear out the media will take years of continuous writes and you will get slow degradation as blocks wear out, not a nice clean failure.

Physical destruction is the way to go.

In the beginning was the command line - Neal Stephenson

Hacker with bullhorn: “Save your money! Accept one of our free tanks! It is invulnerable, and can drive across rocks and swamps at ninety miles an hour while getting a hundred miles to the gallon!” Prospective station wagon buyer: “I know what you say is true…but…er…I don’t know how to maintain a tank!” Bullhorn: “You don’t know how to maintain a station wagon either!” Buyer: “But this dealership has mechanics on staff. If something goes wrong with my station wagon, I can take a day off work, bring it here, and pay them to work on it while I sit in the waiting room for hours, listening to elevator music.” Bullhorn: “But if you accept one of our free tanks we will send volunteers to your house to fix it for free while you sleep!” Buyer: “Stay away from my house, you freak!”
