I'm no federal judge, but I don't need to hear any arguments. Keep ICE out of schools.
You want to terrorize kids you can do it some other time, not while they're learning.

Its more than just foreign relations.
The reason for continuous military, space, energy and other development isn't just to push the state of the art, and its not just a jobs program. If you stop building things you forget how. You can still build something but it won't be nearly as good because the people who learned the mistakes the first time around have all retired. Or in this case fired.
We will have at least a 4 year gap when this is over.
Switching gears, do you think infrastructure will be funded? Falling 4 more years behind in maintenance isn't going to do any favors. This includes federally maintained dams and bridges, but also levees for storm protection near the coasts. Trump will throw you some paper towels after the next hurricane, then withdraw funding for FEMA.
How about the EPA? Are they going to continue to handle superfund sites? No? Well you can expect some real problems from this to bear fruit in a couple of years. Lawsuits against manufacturers doesn't bring your home value back, or stop the cancers.
I'm mentioning these things because while people are seeing the damage done by alienating allies, and that is concerning to some, this doesn't matter to trumps base, who have a particularly America centric viewpoint.
People need to be aware that the problems he brings aren't just foreign and that if something doesn't change soon there will be nothing left of the America they knew.
Be careful hosing it down or scrubbing it. Those radiator fins are delicate and shouldn't be bent or broken.
I won't say don't do it because I dunno, its probably fine. But watch a how to video or read up on it first. Just don't put a firehose on it.

I will take away your healthcare.
I will take away your job.
I will take away your children.
I'll take away your children's protection from preventable diseases.
I'll ruin your children's education by firing most of the oversight and hiring an unqualified person to run the department of education.
I'll cause the things you need to buy to widely fluctuate in price due to tarrifs or the threat of tarrifs.
I'll undermine the government so much they can't get rid of me or my cohorts.
And also I'll boil your teeth. That was a fun one too.
It used to be fully funded with the money paid into it. Your current contributions are supposed to be paying for your future security.

America does have this actually. I think at one point in about 10 years ago it was like $500k. I believe they raised it to something higher but it was less than $5m though.
Trump probably either didn't know because the law doesn't apply to him, or this is just a fee increase disguised as a new program his sycophants will applaud.
Anyone who works directly for a Musk company should quietly start looking for another job.
People in unions should strike right now. People who aren't in unions should also strike, but I don't expect miracles.
This is the biggest asshole boss indicator. There should never be a situation where someone in power "jokes" about firing.
He needs a very quick financial lesson in not fucking with his employees. One week of work stoppage across every company he owns should do it.
Check this out:
Not sure if that link works correctly. This data is around 5 years old, but it shows the approximate power usage across the world based on the fuel.
If you restrict it to certain countries, like US, you'll see oil or gas is the number 1 fuel, and coal isnt that high.
But across the entire world coal is still the primary power source, by a huge amount.
I wish this project could be continued so we could get modern data. I know solar has exploded in popularity the last few years, but that might have changed nothing if the coal plants haven't been offlined.

That's the original project. Which ran out of funding and hasn't been updated in 3 years.
Anyway, I know this isn't quite on topic, but I think most people don't know where their energy comes from, even if they might have a vague idea. When they don't have the basic facts its easier for them to be sold on the idea of carbon capture.
Has the bombing really stopped? I'm legit asking because the news i read doesn't say that.
Trump just gave them 8 billion more in arms deals. The peace agreement was violated immediately. I still see reports of IDF killing random people.
But without knowing someone from there its hard to know what is real. All news sources are biased one way or the other.
Hahahha.. I can tell from the ratio that people don't agree with me, but you're confused as shit.
I'm not a supporter of genocide or a genocide apologist. I'm a realist. There is no way that sitting out of an election in protest, or voting republican could have stopped the genocide.
The ONLY chance anyone had was to elect a Democrat majority and push hard on issues they care about. Protest in the streets to stop the genocide.
Look where we are now. Worse genocide by far and protests in the streets but instead of one coherent request in the protest you've got hundreds.
Please don't:
Destroy social security Destroy the CDC while we have bird flu Destroy Education Rob the treasury Break agreements with every allied country Break the economy Ruin transgender lives Build concentration camps Go to war with all our previous allies for Greenland Support genocide Destroy civil rights Destroy the environment
See, genocide is still on my list.. In fact if these were in proper order it would be top of the list. Call it a "least you can do" option for presidency.
But instead we need to fight for all these things and we've got you, who, I guess sat this one out on principal, calling me names for it.

The Cybertruck Appears to Be More Deadly Than the Infamous Ford Pinto, According to a New Analysis
It seems obvious in hindsight. Sheet metal doors will crumple in a way that can't be opened, trapping occupants. The fire doesn't need to start in the relatively safe and armored battery system. It could be pinched wiring causing a short that ignites plastic interiors, or a fire from another vehicle spreading to the cybertruck.
I'm sure someone mentioned all this to them during design.
That is what the right wants you to do. Find anyone to blame but them.
There was a huge propaganda campaign started specifically to get the centrists and undecideds to stay home.
Every election is going to be a repeat of this. Facebook, TV, YouTube, anyone who can push content is going to forever say both sides are bad. And people will listen to them no matter how educated they are because propaganda works.
Watch for it because they'll probably do it again: A conflict that America is only peripherally responsible for and cannot stop, being pushed as the number one issue in the next elections.
The people who say Kamala ignored their issue? You vote down ticket for democrats and push those people to support your issue. This in turn pressures the president to support your issue.
The democrats definitely will not help. They'll produce 6 unlikeable candidates and say, "well.. These are the only people who could possibly be our president. Also the primary is pointless because of superdelegates and split voting so we'll just go ahead and pick this one before 50% of the nation has even voted."
Shit.. Sorry, I can't stay on topic because I'm impossibly cynical at this point. I'm still voting democrat because I refuse to sit out or actively support fascism, but I'm heartbroken over the situation we're in.

The esp32 supports efuses that can be used to require a signed binary to boot. So they could lock their hardware to only work with their binary. Source code wouldn't matter.
Of course if the source is open you can buy and put together your own hardware and then put their code on it.
I'm not advocating what they're doing. Rent seeking is rent seeking even if they need to recoup development costs. I'd rather pay for open hardware and software with no monthly fee.
Vote blue and send huge amounts of letters and phone calls to your Congress people telling them to stop supporting this. Run new candidates under the Democratic party that push them further left.
Sounds impossible? Yes. People were force fed propaganda and gave up this election, because its a hard choice. There is no easy route. Its either revolution or try to change a party to something better. There is no option 3.
People told the centrists, I told my friends for fucks sake. I know someone who stayed home saying their vote didn't matter and both sides are evil. I told them that is a vote for Trump.
They were right. Their vote didn't matter because trump won by a landslide in our state. But what if they, and thousands of their compatriots, weren't force fed propaganda on Facebook and TV?
The republicans won because of coordinated attacks that presented centrists with multiple trolley problems. I held out hope until the end, but I should have known what was going to happen when some reasonably intelligent people fell for it.
The Gaza strip is 141 square miles with a 2024 estimate of over two million people. I guarantee Trump doesn't know how big it is, or the logistics required to displace that many people.
Not that he would care, but his followers need to be aware that this isn't a small city or a united group of people. You can't just send out an email and "tell" them anything. Especially after their communication infrastructure has been destroyed. So him saying they need to get out before his visit is no different than me saying he needs to resign by tomorrow.
Everyone who supports this needs to be aware that its a genocide. Supporting it is equivalent to volunteering to be part of it.
Write your tax return by hand and mail it in. The IRS downsized years ago and got rid of the people who read these things. They will try to OCR it and have a computer review it, but if there are issues then surely a human will need to look at it.
Would be a shame if everyone filed taxes in a way that was terribly inconvenient for them.
So is it alright to just assume trump is female? The email signature no longer states her preferred pronouns, so I think this is what she wants?
I realized a while back that social media is trying to radicalize everyone and it might not even be entirely the oligarchs that control its fault.
The algorithm was written with one thing in mind: maximizing engagement time. The longer you stay on the page, the more ads you watch, the more money they make.
This is pervasive and even if educated adults tune it out, there is always children, who get Mr. Beast and thousands of others trying to trick them into like, subscribe and follow.
This is something governments should be looking at how to control. Propaganda created for the sole purpose of making money is still propaganda. I think at this point that sites feeding content that use an algorithm to personalize feeds for each user are all compromised.
Besides all the other arguments, fingerprints aren't like the movies. You need a reasonably flat surface to get a fingerprint from.
Getting a fingerprint from a house or a car to prove that someone was there at some point, any time in the past, is possible. Getting a fingerprint from a plastic baggy to prove someone held it would be much harder.
The distortions would make it extremely hard to match against a database. If they compare it to you then it might show a match, so if you're a suspect they might make a direct comparison. If they compare it to the cop? Remember the cop is innocent until proven guilty, so they can't compel them to give fingerprints for comparison. Yes, they could be in a database, but remember the distortion makes it hard to automatically find this.
Any lab work has a cost, and police are lazy. They aren't going to spend time or money trying to solve a case. They go with best effort.
This guy wants a thank you for what now? Did he launch a rocket? Manage a network?
Let's ignore the fact that a private company who has countries begging them for their service is fucked up.
The obsession that some people have that they are a part of the football team they like is nuts. Rubio asking for thanks for something starlink did is like me asking for thanks for Taylor Swifts latest hit.
