so petty ....

 

My wife is now an illegal since her father was still on a student visa.  I told her to not piss me off or I'm calling ICE.

Not retroactive. Yet.  But I’m sure she laughed that comment off and forgot about it. No harm done surely.

Depends on how you look at it, I guess.  Not standing up for Navin, BUT:

~152 million people voted, out of a pool of ~245 million eligible voters.  So yes, minors and anyone else not eligible sat out but nearly 2/3 of those that could have voted, did.  

Turnout in non-swing states has a big impact on the overall numbers.  The results, even from a technical minority of people, are a good representation nationally of what people want.

It wasn't even a majority of voters.

I consider all non-voters to be at least a little Trumpish. It's unavoidable to know who he is and what he wants to do. If you don't rouse yourself to merely vote against it then you may as well be for it. There's a vast majority fine with Trump as president.

And since everybody knows everything about Trump, he's a clear reflection of who America really is. We always had and have a shitty side, but it was somewhat balanced by good acts and collaboration. That part is gone now, and people applaud it.

It's probably wise to be a part of the oligarchy the next 4 years. Tough club to join, to be sure. 

I'll make a few calls and see what I can do.

We've stayed away pretty easily. Plex server for our media + not giving a shit about tOSU vs ND makes it wonderful.

Having a home media server has been one of the best time and effort investments for entertainment. Bluray ripper gets a ton of use, but it's nice knowing things will never disappear and I'm getting a good bitrate for the content.

It's wild how much the little Celeron that could can do in that box. Intel's quicksync acceleration in the integrated GPU is a godsend

Bleh.  He shouldn't have it due to his Ketamine use. Full stop.  And the fact that he lied on his citizenship application.  But there are zero consequences for anything Republicans do anymore.

The only problem is my appetite. I'm looking for bigger and bigger drives all the time. I remember being content with a few TB about a decade ago and now I'm buying them in 20TB chunks to put shit on there that nobody will ever watch, but hey Down Periscope is there ready to go!

It's already got a predetermined bid-winner. It's just not us. But we could probably make a deal to do all the work for 1/4 of the pay.

Cool, I have no problems being a subcontractor. Plus we creative pricing can probably get those beers built in as business expenses.

I've got your backup.  6 x 16TB spindles in action hosting a library that's mostly sourced in HEVC.  With football season coming to an end and hockey on a free streaming app, I'm not sure why I have a TV subscription now.

Adm. Linda Fagan was the first female commandant of the Coast Guard. She assumed duties as commandant on June 1, 2022.

Fox News first reported Fagan’s termination, citing issues with recruitment, operations concerns and a focus on diversity, equity and inclusion as the reasons for her relief. An ALCOAST, which is a message to all members of the Coast Guard, announced the relief.

A… good friend of mine has a dad that was born in the United States to illegal immigrant parents in the 1960s. His mom was born in the US back then to (legal he thinks) Mexican immigrant parents. That friend was then born in the United States some years later of course. Is he still a citizen?

Were it not for the fact that the executive order is prospective only, virtually nobody in America would be able to provide proof of their citizenship under this standard. There are no official documents that answer whether your parents were in America legally when you were born.  

And a bunch of Democrats just signed on to a bill that would empower every cop in the fucking country to indefinitely detain anyone who couldn't prove their citizenship.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed an executive order temporarily suspending all U.S. foreign assistance programs for 90 days pending reviews to determine whether they are aligned with his policy goals.

Nah. It will get there. I think this is going to be a lot more about humanitarian and other non-ukraine projects. These could impact reconstruction, but not Foreign Military Sales. USAID does not touch those.

Yesterday I walk up behind some maga hat freak at the store here in Kihei and the dude is talking the native Hawaiian cashiers ear off about trumps executive orders. Her eyes are obviously glazed over in disinterest. As he pays he hands her what looks like a $100 bill and says “keep it for yourself or give it to someone.” Hmm, maybe this guy is alright. I walk up and see that it’s a fake bill with Trumps face on it. She obviously tore it up. These people are sick.

In my daily interactions, about 1 in 5 Republicans go full Trumpanzee. (yeah I know the rest probably think it.) When they do, it's like watching somebody drive a car over a cliff. There is no pause, no commas, no wondering "does this person maybe not agree with me?" Nope. Rattle rattle rattle crash boom bam.

Not as bad as peak George Wallace fans. Those fuckers were a higher level of violence and wouldn't FWD>FWD>FWD>, they'd flat just kick your ass. The meanest ones are dead.

Sack, Icono, etc probably think she speaks blasphemy. that message was closer to what Jesus would say than any single thought any of those cretins have had in their lives. 

she'll probably be reassigned to a church in Alaska by end of week. 

gotdamn. 

The clergy who preach at the National Cathedral are bad asses. Just awesome.
