Ah yes, they must be doing the same thing. Just not getting caught. So they’re openly admitting they are bad at that as well.
Because he micromanages. Because he’s using the powers of the office for his own personal motives. And being mean to him is enough to trigger a response because he has the mental capabilities of a 5-year old.
Most of the age verification laws are written fairly openly, probably so the verification companies can come up with all sorts of crazy anti-privacy shit.
However that also means some companies have done the opposite. They can use other methods of verifying age, like common sense. Your 10 year old account alone is enough to reasonably expect you to be over 18 for instance, you probably weren’t under 8 when you made that account.
Most aren’t going to bother with that though, it’s simpler and easier for them to have a third party violate your privacy.
So much effort?
You do realize the movable type printing press was invented by Gutenberg and initially used to reproduce the bible right?
So yeah… a lot of effort was most definitely put into bringing the Bible to the general masses.
Isn’t it the second most mass produced book in the world?
After a certain point, the automation makes making more of them effortless.
That’s kind of the point of the invention… to reproduce it at scale so it would be cheaper and everyone could read it instead of relying on the clergy to interpret for them.
ICE was created as part of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 following the September 11 attacks. It absorbed the prior functions of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the United States Customs Service.
The HSA was cosponsored by 118 members of Congress. Passed the House 295—132 with 6 not voting. It passed the U.S. Senate by a vote of 90—9, with one senator not voting. It was signed by George W. Bush in November 2002.

So… ultimately Osama Bin Laden is responsible for ICE, along with many of the other pro-fascism shifts the US has made in the last 25 years in response to those attacks.
He was extremely successful with his entire plan to destabilize and hurt America in response to the US fucking around in the middle east for decades prior.
Almost like between that, watching Fox News, and napping, he doesn’t do anything other than agree with whatever the last person told him.
Generally they haven’t needed to. For most of the situations where Starlink really shines like rural connections, the alternatives are objectively a lot worse. And the other common situation is to avoid a regional monopoly which is still like 90% of the US.
Starlink basically sells itself, even with Elon at the helm.
And apparently solved by just letting the capacitors dissipate. A common solution to power issues.
The Xbox One had built in surge protection function inside the external power supply that required you to unplug it and let it dissipate before you could use it again.
Not really a major hardware fault by basically any definition.
I love that the image they keep using for these reports is the tank the Russians blew up with their own air defense missile.
If we come back from this, one of the first things needs to be the US Marshall service being moved under control of the Judiciary. So they have an actual enforcement arm for their decisions, instead of relying entirely on the Executive, which clearly will just ignore the decisions, and Congress will sit idly by.
Congress has two ways to override the Executive, one is veto overrides. The other is impeachment, which also can override the Judicial, and the processes include the enforcement of those decisions.
The Executive enforces laws as its primary function. As such, they can enforce those laws against the Legislative and Judicial as necessary.
One of the two main purposes of the Judicial branch is to ensure the other two are writing the laws correctly, and that those laws follow the requirements of existing ones, like the Constitution. So they can rule on passed laws, but they do not have a mechanism to enforce those, they rely on the Executive to do that, even if the Executive is the issue. Or they rely on the Legislative to act on a lack of enforcement.
The Judicial as it sits, is both one of the strongest and weakest links in the system. And until now, that weak part hasn’t really been exposed since the Justice Department has historically been generally left to operate independently of the President, even though nothing actually prevents it from being abused like this.
Even if you want to stay informed, you only have a couple hours between working all day, commuting back and forth, helping the kids with homework, and household chores. They have maybe an hour or two of available time to fit in any sort of news and relaxation.
Because even when corporate owned media does cover it, they bury the stories so you need to actively look for them instead of it being front page or headline news. Even local station media is increasingly owned by corporate interests that just don’t show things or push small local fluff pieces instead.
The 24 hour news cycle desensitizes people to basically everything. And the current political climate is designed around a constant influx of misinformation and disinformation that takes much more time to fight than it does to spread. And modern propaganda is extremely effective, across the board. Especially across social media, designed to create echo chambers and feed you more of the same constantly.
The Air Force is the military branch with minimum requirements for mental capabilities, even if not officially. Pilots and aircraft mechanics are not front line fodder. And until the Space Force came along, they handled most of the stuff related to managing space as well.
The Army and Marines will basically take anyone breathing. And the Navy is a bit of a mix, just gotta be a little bit gay since you’re gonna be stuck on a boat for months at a time with a bunch of seamen.
Is it really surprising that it’s the Air Force that would have the servicemen that can read, comprehend, and act against all this obvious bullshit?
Was it Ukraine this time, or Russia hitting themselves again?
He also Google searched how to make the fsd more aggressive.
I don’t have any experience with FSD specifically, but I used to have a Model 3 with Enhanced Autopilot before I traded in that Nazimobile.
In traffic, Autopilot would definitely leave more space and act “safer” than most other drivers on the road around me. Regularly resulting in people cutting me off, squeezing into spaces they shouldn’t be, etc.
Trying to figure out how to make the car act more like the other traffic is something nearly every Tesla driver has looked into at some point.
From the beginning, investigators have focused on how Butler was using Tesla’s system. Butler told officials and paramedics that he was working as a DoorDash driver and that the car was in FSD mode before he “passed out” while changing music on the car’s touchscreen, according to the affidavit. The affidavit said tests found no alcohol or drugs in his system.
The affidavit says Butler manually pressed the accelerator pedal several times in the neighborhood where the crash occurred, “overriding the default FSD speed.” At one point, the car reached 73 miles per hour on the residential street – more than twice the posted limit. The affidavit also notes there was no brake pedal input recorded in the final minute before the crash.
Tesla executives publicly disputed Butler’s version of events. On social media, they said the driver pressed the accelerator pedal down and kept it pressed even after the crash. The company says FSD doesn’t make its cars self-driving and that drivers still have to stay alert and be ready to step in.
So… A few things.
He passed out while changing music?
He did not attempt to brake at all and kept pressing the accelerator after the crash.
So he still was passed out after crashing into a house at 70+ mph?
That’s what he’s saying happened, according to his affidavit, and the data from the vehicle. So the exact same thing would have happened in any other vehicle as well, FSD had little impact on the crash. He passed out pressing the accelerator pedal and crashed into a hosw when the road ended. So maybe without FSD it wouldn’t have driven as straight, instead veering off to the side of the road, still at 70+ mph. Keeping in mind that manually steering the wheel with a modicum of force disengages FSD, so there was little to no force on the wheel.
This isn’t new on any way. That’s how Mossad has always operated, just like the CIA. It’s just that until recently people didn’t notice little old Israel much hiding behind their US guard dog. Blaming the US for everything was usually correct, but also meant that others were able to hide in the shadows better.
That honestly seems the most likely given a lack of information about arrests or needed medical attention.
She was 15 when she disappeared, not 5. That’s definitely old enough to actually make an informed decision to leave. If her home life was bad, not wanting anything to do with returning and actively avoiding any sort of situation that could result in that. It is entirely possible that running away from home was in fact the best option for her.
But if you have a constellation of thousands of LEO communications satellites to leverage…
Don’t forget that part of the merger was Dish buying Boost Mobile with the supposed intent to build their own network. Which anyone actually paying attention knew would never actually happen. Dish Network says a lot of shit, and follows through with basically none of it.
On July 1, 2020, Dish Network officially purchased Boost Mobile per their agreement with the companies and the United States’ Department of Justice. The purchase was valued at $1.4B and transferred 9.3 million customers.[67] The intent of the US government was for Dish to erect a new nationwide wireless mobile network in order to compensate for reduced competition following the Sprint–T-Mobile merger.[citation needed]
However, in the years following the transaction Dish failed to sufficiently grow Boost Mobile’s subscriber base and in 2025 announced that it will decommission its 5G network infrastructure, sell most of its wireless spectrum assets to AT&T, and shift Boost Mobile’s operating model from a facilities-based network to a mobile virtual network, with its subscribers being hosted on AT&T’s wireless network.[68]
T-Mobile followed the timeframe they agreed to for the merger to be approved, which was very public.
On March 11, 2020, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced he will not appeal the judge’s decision made during the previous month to reject the state AGs’ lawsuit against the T-Mobile-Sprint merger. He, instead, struck a settlement with the defending parties. The terms of the settlement include making its low-cost T-Mobile Connect plans available in California for at least 5 years, that T-Mobile customers can keep their T-Mobile plans held in February 2019 for a total of five years …
Hmm… 2020 plus 5 years is… 2025… would you look at the calendar.
Many modern motherboards have that built in to install the manufacturer’s software, which in turn would download the latest BIOS drivers, etc. for that board.
Usually enabled by default, and after installing once, the setting in the BIOS gets disabled so it doesn’t prompt to reinstall on every boot.
My brand new Asrock X870E board I installed last week did that.
