Openly admitting the average Murcan has the intelligence and education of a child.
But yeah, you’re right. The people aren’t in control, and haven’t been for some time. One wouldn’t expect them to be well-educated.


Oh wait, I see I haven’t answered your question. The land has strategic value because it sits between Russia and North America. During the Cold War in particular, it was a good place to put early warning radar to detect nuclear launches. Now, for example, the waters around the island are patrolled for Russian submarines and stuff. And as the Arctic Ocean’s surface ice thaws, there are valuable trade routes there that different states want to control. And there might be some fancy minerals on the island itself.


@vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works is right. This isn’t about arctic security or deterrence at all. The US military already has unlimited access to the whole island and its airspace. The only reason Trump wants it to be a part of the US is because he is a manbaby and the grown-ups have all told him he can’t have it.
The murderer will definitely get away with it. There will be more ICE agents doing the same thing, emboldened by this incident and the lack of consequences. After the hundredth murder, people are definitely going to start shooting ICE agents on sight. The only way out now is for the administration to punish these agents, but like I said, this will definitely not happen.
After a while, it won’t even be about immigration any more. ICE will have become a symbol of Trump and his power.


I used to think it didn’t matter how electricity is used to generate heat, so I came to the same conclusion you did. Surprisingly, it does matter. Rather than a computer’s resistive heating, it is much more efficient to refrigerate the outdoors and point the refrigerator’s heat sink indoors. This is how a heat pump works. It’s basically awesome.


Laptops are better, because they have an integrated uninterruptible power supply, but worse because most can’t fit two hard drives internally. Less of a problem, now that most have USB3. Just run external RAID if you have to.
Arguably, a serious home server will need a UPS anyway to keep the modem and router online, but a UPS for just the NAS is still better than no UPS at all. Also, only a small UPS is needed for the modem and router. A full desktop UPS is much larger.


Re. No. 6:
The fascists want violence, against them and against their enemies. They want a fight. The fascists are celebrating right now. They aren’t afraid. They never were. Exactly like Hamas and Al Qaida.


If that’s really all you got, then that’s just not good enough.


Is there any evidence that the shooter was a far right activist?


I just found out about the death of Charlie Kirk. The only reason I found out is because I read the Atlantic weekly on Mondays. I live in Finland, where nobody knows and nobody would care if they did. Finland is great.


It’s amazing the system has held together for as long as it has.
I’ll have to check out bspwm.
And the chrome.css method is the same as I use. Darn, I was hoping for an easier way.
Woah. How did you hide the tab bar etc. in librewolf? Because it was a real pain in firefox lol.
Also, what wm do you use?


ROMANI ITE DOMVM!


Assassinations usually make things worse. Just look at what happened to the string of coups in South Vietnam during the Vietnam war.
Or, can you think of a time when assassination actually did improve matters?


You don’t understand how leadership works, do you?
Look, I’ll talk with you, but not if this is how you treat me.


Can you give an example of a time when assassination produced a better successor?
AI. And PoW-based cryptocurrency.
