i'd be lying if i said i was paying close enough attention to state this with any authority but it seems to me that bernie sanders is the first politician in history who's just absolutely refusing to play any kind of press games
i keep seeing quotes of him that imply "your question is stupid E! News bullshit and i'm not going to chuckle at it as i brush it away"
like i'm specifically talking about his apparent refusal to answer any of the obnoxious "let's pit everyone against each other" questions. i've seen like five quotes so far of him just responding to this MTV horseshit with "i'm not going to talk about that"
we should go further and outlaw politicians being allowed to talk about anything except their specific plans. no commentary on each other. a soldier with a gun has to attend every news interview and if the politician says "well i think that my oppo-" he shoots everyone

I'm trying to get this: is it that the TRS-80 had lowercase in ROM, and the logic to produce it, but since chip 8 was missing, bit 8 (upper/lower) would always be zero? that's electrically plausible but is that really what they're saying
it's always buck wild to me that computers of this era could tolerate gross abuse of their buses and simply march on undeterred. modern computing is so complex that essentially every part of the computer is being touched at all times, and any failure anywhere will cause collapse
that c64 bus expander I posted earlier, with the *fuse* on it - that was like walking into what I thought was a steakhouse and the door guy slams me against a wall and demands that I hand over my gun before I can be seated

it's weird how disk partitioning even on EFI machines appears to be one of those "updating the updater" kind of paradoxes where it has to be done in a very specific way or the pc reacts as if the floor just slid out from underneath it
like i know DOS couldn't do reparts on the fly but as far as i can tell that was entirely because they hadn't structured the code for it, not any kind of system limitation
if you try to do anything with flash drives in particular though OSes just freak the FUCK OUT. i've had this on windows but on linux as well - if the MBR/GPT on a flash drive is sufficiently weird the OS just becomes allergic to it

wild, turns out most people aren't edward snowden and can't justify the immense intrinsic cost of the military-grade bullshit infosec recommends. who knew
it'll also never ever change. in 2050 only 15% of people will do anything remotely "correct" with passwords
nobody's gonna encrypt anything. that's not gonna happen. shh.

A Rapunzel inspired KiriBaku AU where a thief name Bakugou stumbles upon a man hidden away in a lone tower who has the shittiest hair he's ever seen.
🌟 qrt to comment

🌲tws: none??

🌟 I can't really think of anything else so let's do this 💪

💖 Wait, before we start just wanted to say that I think you're cute. Okay, now I'm done.
The sound of his own pulse thrumming in his ears is the only thing Bakugou hears as he runs with all his might though the entanglements of the forest. He's already tripped and stumbled more times than he can count, but if he's having a hard time, so are his pursuers.

1) Barr not prosecuting Comey is exactly what we expected.

People freakin out that Comey is getting off, and justice will never be served, just haven't been paying close enough attention.
2) Spoon feeding the violent left base and their soy boy army ANTIFA is the key to this whole plan.

Pull the trigger to soon and the leftist handlers will send out a call to arms and there will be rioting in the streets.
3) The left has no option but to acknowledge that Comey has committed an indictable offence.

Next comes the FISA applications investigation again Comey will be recomended to be brought up on charges along with many others, but that is for anouther thread.

The Supreme Court today heard oral arguments in two cases that could possibly end extreme partisan gerrymandering as we know it. @AriBerman outlined the stakes earlier. bit.ly/2JHTXAr
The conservative Supreme Court Justices, the ones that actually speak, seemed perturbed during today’s oral arguments against partisan gerrymandering. @AriBerman reports that what apparently upset them was the idea that everyone’s vote might count equally. bit.ly/2U0b4lG
(Clarence Thomas actually did speak up recently at the Supreme Court. First time in three years. He asked one entire question that actually made clear that he hadn’t been paying close enough attention to what was going on. I sincerely regret the omission.) nyti.ms/2UMRRQC

Leftist Race Slander Could Backfire townhall.com/columnists/dav…
If you don't think the political left is conspiring to smear President Trump, his supporters and the GOP as racists, then you probably haven't been paying close enough attention.
I'm aware of the preferred school of thought that says targets of false political accusations shouldn't take the bait and respond, the rationale being that defensiveness just makes them sound guilty and calls undue attention to the charge.

'The Campaign to Discredit the Press.' That's the title of my talk to @ASCmediarisk (April 21, 2018.) Presented here in THREAD form...

There is alive in the land an organized campaign to discredit the American press. This campaign is succeeding. 1/
Its roots are long. For decades the Republican coalition has tried to hang together by hating on elites who claim to know things, like “what is art?” Or: “what should college students be taught?” Or: “what counts as news?” 2/
The media wing of this history extends back to Goldwater’s campaign in 1964. It passes through Agnew’s speeches for Nixon in 1969, and winds forward to our own time through William Rusher's 1988 book, 'The Coming Battle for the Media'... 3/
