When are you suggesting this overreach began? FAA has asserted jurisdiction below 500' for a long time: balloons and kites since 1963, ultralights since 1982. FAA certainly asserts regulatory authority over aircraft below 500', ev

There's no uncertainty. Republicans now openly assert the 2nd amendment belongs to supporters and defenders of the regime, and no one else. The movement opposes equality because equality stands opposed to their need for hierarchy. It i

What's important to understand is you can do everything lawful, and they will still lie about you and kill you.

Looks like the citizen was disarmed by an agent, then executed by an agent, then a different agent emptied a clip into the corpse. https://bsky.app/profile/bradmossesq.bsky.social/post/3md6pi... --- Related,

I'm certain I should encrypt my data, backup all LUKS headers, and backup all data. But what about unsophisticated users? In aggregate it might be true data exfiltration is worse than data loss? I don't know if that's true. B

Trump, while president, sent a mob to assassinate the vice-president of the United States, and members of Congress, because Mike Pence refused Trump’s illegal order to overturn an election both of them had lost. The current president is pla

Laws that limit liability promote “cost of doing business“ mentality as if lives are acceptable losses. This is how you get mentally and morally weak bean counters running companies instead of engineers with a conscience. It’s an engineerin

I don’t trust them either, mainly because the Republicans in Congress were not elected for their trustworthiness to honor their oath to the Constitution, but to let Trump do as he wishes. Almost all Republicans in Congress who challenged Tr

Senator Tillis today: the independence and credibility of DOJ is what are in question, not the Fed or Fed chairman. And he says he will block Fed nominees until the legal matter is resolved. Republicans are the majority party. The oppositio

This is submission to tyranny, and it’s not safer in the long run. The only institution that matters once a regime rejects law and order, is we the people. If the people roll over, then they are submitting to their dominators, and no one is

I'm seeing it more often. They don't say cash discount, they say they're charging a fee for using a credit card. What annoys me is debit card fees are supposed to be capped in the U.S. But for unclear reasons many payment pro

OK but that would conflict with the charters of most companies. The charter instructs directors/officers to make profit for shareholders. It would be a significant undertaking to compel every company to somehow become a public benefit

Corporate charters require companies follow the law and make profit. Beyond following the law, what are citizen duties? Public benefit corporations seem to go nowhere far enough. And I wonder if the language is intentionally vague at the ou

The U.S. left the entire rest of the regime intact. Wasn't Rodriguez part of this claimed drug syndicate? If Maduro was not (a legitimate) head of state, neither is Rodriguez. If Rodriguez does what Trump orders her to do, which he say

The charter doesn't prohibit aiding people. The charter limits the powerful nations. Rule #1 is nations cannot start wars. Starting a war is a crime. The charter requires some consensus by the international community to authorize use o

Yep. It's the illiberal authoritarians. The people who need hierarchy, for domination and submission. This is why equality is an scary abomination to them. All societies have such people. But civil societies prevent them from gaining s

MAGA: It's not really a war if they can't retaliate. No doubt the regime will come up with a "special military operation" equivalent to avoid calling it what it is.

Simon did an update earlier this year on the Germanwings accident. He states the official report is flawed. It's an interesting read, but also quite sad that such basic questions are not answered and thus far few seem to even care that

Although outright opt-out isn't possible, it seems like heading to Accessibility -> Motion -> Reduce Motion (on) and Prefer Cross-Fade Transitions (On) reduces the effect. I'm not sure if this reduces the buggy artifacts tho

Humans certainly are imperfect and make mistakes, but will iterate with the understanding that doing nothing at all and blocking emergency vehicles is untenable. At the least we will fall back to incentive/disincentive social behavior.

We may need to help them by looking at the POS interface and make sure they're using/requesting debit for debit cards. I suspect the POS defaults to credit. But I've never looked at any of the interfaces. I know US Postal Ser
