Are you saying it might be a crime for a President to unilaterally invent a new law and make the federal government enforce it? Well, you see...

I mostly play and enjoy the sound of "classic" metal. 1980s Judas Priest. Metallica. Maiden. Etc.

What's a good amp/fx setup to reproduce this sound at modest volumes?

I have a friend with a Marshall stack, which sounds amazing but I have neither the budget or the space for something like this. I currently have a Fender amp with a Boss GT-1 effects pedal, which is quite good but no matter what I do I never quite get this to reproduce the tone I'm looking for.

Will a small Marshall combo amp like a MG30GFX work for me? Does it make sense to go for low-wattage tube amps over solid state? Thoughts?

Eh. I work in tech. I have friends who work or worked at almost every big tech company you'd recognize. These are still jobs, dealing with layoffs, annoying bosses, etc. has always been a fact of life. But from what I can see the average techie still has it very good compared to most other jobs. My friend who is a nurse would certainly like to earn a tech salary, not have to deal with hospital politics, and not work night shifts all the damn time, and take time off whenever they want to not whenever there's availability...

"Accidentally"

I find it hard to believe an Interpol most-wanted billionaire cartel leader just happens to be released "accidentally".

Having been through all this, I would most of all prioritize getting a permanent residence permit. This brings stability, and then you can decide whether to work in games (more fun) or elsewhere in tech (higher pay). Having been in both industries for a long time, I can tell you you'll always wonder if the grass is greener on the other side. But at least you'll have options. If a tech company gets you to permanent residence quicker, go for it.

For emulators which use recompilation techniques, I suppose it's technically possible to make them execute malware. But writing your malware in legacy XBox/PlayStation code to embed it in roms would also make it some of the most sophisticated in history just to infect a handful of retrogamers so I think it's very unlikely..

This has been said about many issues in the past. Effecting change isn't easy but giving up doesn't help. Americans support gun control. Only our crappy political system stands in the way.

Got any fried chicken?

Best damn chicken in the state.

Bring me four fried chickens, and a Coke.

You want chicken wings or chicken legs?

Four fried chickens. And a Coke.

This most extreme level can cause complete HF (high frequency) radio blackouts on the entire sunlit side of the Earth, lasting for a number of hours.

So, is that really it? A HF radio blackout? I can't imagine most of us would even notice if HF were disrupted. I don't know the physics involved, but if VHF/UHF were hit it would be a much bigger problem.

Citizens wouldn't be facing so much danger if we didn't have guns everywhere..

I've been watching VASAviation on YouTube for years and, yeah, no shit. I see so many ATC-related incidents on there now. Not that anyone in particular is too blame, but controllers are overloaded, overworked and occasionally under-trained and confused. I'm very concerned.

and loss of reputation

American cops worried about their reputation. Cheeky.

I've read these warnings for several years now and I still haven't made up my mind about whether this is actually a bad thing or not.

If you check the numbers Japan has had economic stagnation, sure, but it's also a stable, modern country with a high Human Development Index. I'm sure they look back longingly to the economic boom times of the 60s to the 80s but even now it seems like a fine place to live.

Perhaps infinite economic growth is not actually necessary..
