Because ICE has that app that can tell a person’s citizenship by their picture. Their plan will be to harass and arrest anyone their app tells them looks foreign. Even if that person has their ID, and proof of citizenship, ICE will just tell them their ID is fake and confiscate it.

YouTube/Google doesn’t have a broadcast license, so can’t be harassed in quite the same manner by the FCC. Although Google has a history of premature compliance…

When I go it all goes with me.

Not true at all, they’re not gonna bury you with it. Your bank accounts do go through a process after you depart. In many states if you die without a will or any other instructions they go through a long processes to identify your next of kin, and if they can’t identify it then the State takes it all.

You are much better off making a small will and leaving some simple instructions. If you have no relatives you trust with the money, leave it to a charity, like your local animal shelter if that’s your thing.

He did not say where the money would come from.

That’s because it’s a lie, just like the other times he lied.

So, they’re taping the interview along with the rest of the show’s content, but not broadcasting it? Are they going to show dead air in its place? Or maybe a QR code to the interview, along with a countdown timer? I don’t think even Jimmy has the balls for that, but it would be awesome.

The closest things we had back then was USENET (which required you to already have a connection to a provider that hosted a server) and BBS’s (which required you to dial in to connect to a local server, which proabably did not have its own USENET connection). I suppose there was also Compuserve, and QuantumLink/AOL, but they were metered dial-in providers, and when they finally connected to USENET, they ruined it.

There was no concept of a device that was always connected to the Internet in the 80s for most users. Most home computers were islands. Maybe if you were on a University campus you might have access to a computer with that permanent wired connection, but that was about it.

My kids have grown up in a world where everyone is connected, all the time. We’ll see what they do with it.

His issues flared up periodically

#1 thing is to make sure all accounts have beneficiaries. Accounts should have a primary beneficiary (your spouse), and if there is the ability to make a secondary beneficiary, see if they will divide it among any children you have . This is of paramount importance.

I know someone who passed away suddenly, and did not have a beneficiary on his “play money” stock account. His widow had to go through a lot of hoops to get access to it.

From there, I am a big believer in paper. I want those statements coming to the house. I file them all, and my wife knows where I put them. If I were to go poof , I’m sure she (with a lot of help from her siblings) would make sure nothing goes unpaid.

The Crypto is a different story, of course. When you can Be Your Own Bank, there are no beneficiaries or contingencies: it’s all keys. I have a bit of crypto in a HW wallet. But, years ago I moved some BTC to Coinbase, and it’s still there after all these years. I am thinking of moving the rest, just to make it easier for people to sell if I do go poof. Yeah , Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins. But it would be tragic if my crypto got lost because I bit it and nobody knew how to operate my wallet.

I like to call it the Conservative Cinematic Universe

I don’t disagree, but the problem is that once you set up a particular oversight mechanism to monitor an official office like the Presidency, it is ripe for abuse. Just imagine what Republicans did to the Supreme Court, but laid as a boobytrap to cut any Democratic President off at the kneees. I think the Founders had it correct there, giving the Presidency broad powers but giving the Legislature equally broad oversight authority, because the Legislature answers to the People every two years.

It’s not the founders’ fault that the Republicans in Congress choose to abandon that oversight when the President breaks laws to push their collective agenda.

It’s served its purpose. It has funneled money directly into Trump’s pocket, by hosting LIV events at his golf courses. After laundering Saudi bribe money, the Saudis can now stick all the other investors with the bill.

Yet another headline that gets my hopes up, but turns out to be a metaphor.

I am surprised we still keep the UN HQ and General Assembly in NY, to be honest. Isn’t there enough space for all that in Geneva?

How long until the insanity ends?

Until we all stop being pussies

Naw, we’ll just deport them anyway, and take their beachfront property.

Trump can get some advice from Bibi

not necessarily, MAC is a layer 2 protocol, and your router (NAT or no NAT) operates on layer 3. Routers are supposed to overwrite the MAC address with their own when they forward a packet.

It’s always possible for the unit to put its own identfying info in the payload. But you didn’t do anything silly like register the TV, did you?

Gore lost because the election was close enough that it could be ratfucked by guys in suits. If the election isnt close, then it can’t be ratfucked.

Now, it’s possible that he won’t leave his bunker alive. Hitler didn’t, either.

Then you can watch all the depraved porn you want to, and the Government will think it’s coming from the house with the insecure wifi

He’s probably talking about all the equity deals the US government is getting involved in

Remember when Republicans had a cow when part of the Obama administration’s bailout of GM involved the US government taking an equity stake in the company (which it has a plan to sell a few years later?) Well, now that Republicans are in charge, they’re doing the same thing, in overdrive.

According to that link, it’s only 27B total to far. But, of course Trump not only takes credit for it all, but overvalues it by at least 10x…
