A thousand FBI agents working for weeks did the initial redactions back in the spring. Way too big an undertaking, and too quickly accomplished, to have gone right. I have old posts here predicting they'd fuck up the redactions on quite a bit of stuff. And I'm so glad to see it happening.

Dressed to the nines no less.

We better 86 it with all this numbers business tho.

Ugh I had to do this with an internal SCSI drive many years ago, it would only reliably save if you held the back of the cable in, otherwise the pin might short just enough that the operation wouldn't work. But I was a broke Jr High kid so there was no choice. Bent pins give me nightmares to this day.

I've heard of this! It was called joor-nalism by our ancestors

I was living in a 10th story penthouse apartment as a new building started beside us. The contractor put a webcam high up on the structure so people could watch construction live on a website. They left the control panel fully exposed so all you had to do was find the IP address of the camera and boom, you had full control. I would point it directly at my apartment's window and wave, or my friends would do silly shit. Every morning the cam would be reset, but they never actually secured it. That's when I realized how fucked we were, 20 years ago.

She's stacked herself up as one hell of a sacrificial lamb, all these crimes committed on Trump's behalf by one person, her head is going to be the first to roll and I think it'll include prison time.

Meanwhile both of the, Apple especially, kissing Trump's ass and licking round the hole. Ballroom Atrocity, sponsored by Big Tech, tells me which companies to avoid.

But if you actually own one, the cost of everything maintenance wise is through the roof, contractors are difficult to get in a saturated commercial market, basically you can go from able to afford the house to struggling in a few years, housepoor just because things declined faster than you could account for. But you can't sell it because rent is now way more expensive than the mortgage, even divided in half.

Oh god yeah, so many LED grow lamps and LED drivers that melted or burned out well below their rated amperage. Leaves one to wonder if an entire house is worth saving $10.

Ukraine support doesn't bother me, that's not splitting anyone here. Palestinian support, when it's fervent enough to make Dems vote against Dem candidates, now we have a problem. Domestic issues, when they involve a fascist takeover, are simply more pressing than 70-year-old foreign policy, even if it does need fixing... it has for a long time. We won't be able to get there if we're an authoritarian hellhole.

In small quantities nitrous could accidentally be good for some people, it has anti-depressant properties, although self medication is not ideal and can be habit forming in these circumstances. I've seen my own cobwebs blown away by dental surgeries, I've also seen friends go down the drain entirely, their backseats full of empty canisters.
