Take away admin permission from your default accounts. It's not enough any more to be careful. There are web browsers/operating systems that have code execution vulnerabilities. Chrome just released a patch two days ago for this reason.

I welcome your take. I am very pro choice and not religious. That said I still that the comics have value. To my knowledge he doesn't espouse these views in the comics and I think that is enough of a separation to be ok. Similarly it's ok to still like Dilbert comics or listen to John Lennon.

Very cool! Is this posted somewhere? I'd like to remix/throw you some updoot. I guess dm me link? Not sure on the rules about that.

Isn't the difference that one was passed by the legislature and the college loan debt forgiveness wasn't?

Thank you for your reply. What I am trying to articulate is that I see the trend toward extreme candidates cascading through many government systems. The origin being at the legislature in America's circumstance. The legislature holds nominations of judges in it's hands now which is why we are seeing the buck stop at the court. Congress gets to bemoan the fact that the court is responsible because they aren't offering any practicable solutions. Please note, I am not saying the court is without fault. There are certainly ethics rules issues at play and the court composition as it is now is due to the faults of congress in how the nomination process works.

My thought is that if primaries worked differently legislative candidates would run more moderate campaigns and we would see less brinkmanship at the court. Roberts I think is correctly concerned about the perception of the court and is genuinely worried about the last branch of US government losing the respect of the populace. With the decision on Roe v Wade, I think he should be.

Can you give me an example? Some purple states have protected reproductive health in response to the court overturning Roe. My perception is that the primary races are selecting increasingly polarizing candidates who's goal is just notoriety/fundraising over governing. MTG is a prime demonstration of this effect.

I am sympathetic to Kagan's argument on standing and similarly I understand why Roberts is trying to lower the pressure. In any case this seems to come back to Congress no longer passing legislation and instead relying on executive powers for all political requirements. Not really seeing a solution until primary rules change. Centrists are left unserved presently.

Can you elaborate on the comparison to the church? You don't like a panel having authority so you want to consolidate it to a president unilaterally ignoring the third branch? Would term limits on judges change how you see the court?

Oh man I laughed so hard over this. I'm hoping California uses this to help fund the municipal broadband program they are starting next year. My understanding is they have bypassed the environmental reviews for the project.

Sub Brief had a good overview on the structural parts of the sub. Sad as it may be this was the best way for the casualty to occur. Hopefully this will temper others in their designs on these smaller subs. Does anyone else have good resources on what some of the other subs out there are made from?

I immediately sought this out after hearing about the incident. Best wishes to everyone involved but I am not optimistic for their chances.
