How bad must the full Epstein files be for Trump to be thrashing about this much? Former President Obama hasn’t been a frequent name in the news for what, 10 8 years?
Edit: Has it seriously only been 8 years since we had some semblance normalcy in this country. It feels like a lifetime ago.
If I remember correctly correctly, it was something like reckless discharge or a firearm. It’s bullshit, but it’s all the “justice” her family will see.
So… It’s a password book? Like, pen and paper?Not the best choice for storing passwords, but I’d be more willing to do that than trusting Amazon not to hold my passwords hostage with a digital service by them.
As a white guy in the US South, it’s just… No. Don’t go there. Don’t even think it. You don’t want any part of that can of worms.
However, I remember hearing KRS One discussing the words usage a long time ago.
This video isn’t the discussion I remember, but it’s similar in content:
Probably a red Blackberry Pearl Flip. One of the last phones I had that wasn’t a featureless black slate covered in rubber.

Something like that. Online exchanges generally take bank transfers. The peer to peer system is usually face to face (at least at first) and can be whatever currency exchange you agree to.
If I remember correctly, this one of the use cases why bitcoin was created in the first place. It’s not anonymous but it does solve the control problem.
The only other way I know if is cash via sneakernet. Also not completely anonymous, and it could get you labeled a drug dealer or distributor. Especially in the US.
As for how to get into bitcoin, you can mine it, but more feasibly, just start doing commerce in it. If you have a podcast or you stream, accept lightning boosts. Or you could sell off your old things for bitcoin. If you have some other business start accepting bitcoin as a form of payment.
If you need to convert a national currency to bitcoin there is a peer to peer network that accepts cash, as well as several online exchanges (ID usually required, at least in the US.
As a warning, once you step off the garden path you lose it’s protections, so buyer beware. The “Big Money” have a vested interest in minimizing how badly you can get screwed in their system. Such protections don’t exist it the alternative currency sphere regardless of which crypto currency you choose.
Can’t say that happens frequently enough for me to have a set thing to do.
The list of things that need to get done never seems to get shorter. So I’m usually working though my todo list. Recreation time has to be scheduled sadly.
Where I am, the sheriffs are elected and the police chiefs are (generally) appointed. Honestly, both get up to the same level of mischief. The problem isn’t how they get to the position, but rather accountability. There isn’t much. It’s a mismatch between the amount of power they hold and the responsibility to which they are held.
Gee! Who could have predicted that! /s
Personally, Iranians hacking a bunch of computer systems are probably the least of our worries now. Jim Salter posted an image that makes a good analogy. https://fosstodon.org/@jimsalter/114730060651034011
I just had to have our meter replaced while we were replacing the water line to our house. The tech who installed it said that the meter cost $5K to replace. Was very glad I didn’t have to pay for the new meter on top of the main water line.
Possibly. Probably even. It’s still irrelevant.
I was about to reply that today’s protests seem to have gone off peacefully till this article came up in my news feeds.

As far as I know though, the Portland protest, and the assassinations of the Minnesota legislator, Melissa Hortman, and her husband, seem to have been the exceptions.
In the US, generally, you aren’t so much asking permission as giving notice that your expecting a generate a crowd, despite the phrasing. Freedoms of speech, assembly and association are still a thing.
The purpose behind it is to give emergency services a heads up to minimize obstruction of normal or emergency traffic and to provide some level of crowd control to minimize the chance of flash stampedes. Like if some idiot sets off a firework, everyone thinks it’s a gunshot and started running.
Approval is generally automatic, but failure to go through the approval process could result in your peaceful protest turning into a riot, or being declared a riot.
Good on them!
I’m more concerned with the military command respecting the court decision. They are the ones with the guns. That would be a problem.
Annoyance. However it’s usually a mod coming in and either locking or deleting a post (either due to the post itself breaking a community rule or because the comment section got too rowdy to effectively moderate) that causes the abrupt end to a conversation.
Haven’t run into too many folks deleting their posts.
