The author questions what Trump means by “slow things down a little bit” while I’m out here wondering how he defines “legal workers.”

I’m imagining how this might look in California: brought back into the country by your employer? For the benefit of your employer? In a HCOL part of the country? Without a working SSN?

Archive.org to the rescue! Wow. Thank you. Next time I’ll take the trouble of looking there.

Give Whole Foods some time to make that happen.

Krita is simply incredible. I can’t believe that in thirty-odd years I haven’t ventured outside of Adobe platforms, but switching to Linux has me discovering new things everyday like I did with my first home PC.

I’m so happy to keep finding comps for software that I’ve been using for years.

Moving quickly and destabilizing things is exactly the move, because the folks who have to pick up the pieces and hold him accountable will do so by following process, which is a lengthier, arduous, and scheduled series of actions that will be dragged along in his wake as he barrels through the government.

This is awesome, as is the number of people over in the XDA comments all finding a way to get angry at software they’ve never used.

Tidal-dl is simply incredible. Lots of folks out there using this to get rips of new music to upload to sites like RED.

The freeleech token distributions are the way to go. I think most RED users got over a hundred for the new year, which was in no way related to its downtime and new domain. :p

Anyway, freeleeching and permaseeding the content you know you already like is the way build ratio, then you can start downloading against your buffer. Takes a while. Truthfully, in the era of cheap(er) streaming and TIDAL downloaders, music piracy sites are becoming more and more obsolete.

I mentioned the RED downtime, which was really prolonged late last year. I was surprised at how little chaos that downtime created—if that had happened ten years ago users would have gone crazy. It’s the case now, though, that music streaming is simply so accessible and relatively inexpensive that having your main music tracker down for months isn’t really detrimental to your everyday access to music.

Evidently this is a multi-nation exercise called Bamboo Eagle 25-1

 

One of these was a JANET28 flight. How unusual is it for all these KC-135s and 46s to be airborne simultaneously?

 

good riddance
