More specifically the question is, does the statute in question apply to people preventing a government procedure from occurring? Previously the statute has been used to prosecute folks who tamper with evidence. They're quibbling over the wording and whether storming a proceeding is also covered.

It's seems fairly obvious to me that January 6th rioters wanted to stop the proceedings in a way that protestors of the supreme court do not. It also seems obvious that the government wouldn't want citizens to be able to legally prevent it's basic proceedings from occurring.

Also worth saying the defendant ran at a police line yelling "charge"

Oklahoma expanded Medicaid in 2020. Most of these states expended it over a decade ago. A lot of debt buildup occurred in that time. Not sure about the other indebted states but I wouldn't be surprised if they were similar

I don't think that's how people work. An individual can decide to think critically, act selflessly, but when you're talking about millions of people environment means so much more. A mass of people don't just do anything. They are the result of their education, media, and religion. When all these things are shaped by people with all the money it's no wonder that people are bigoted, short sighted, and disillusioned with politics. We live in an extremely sophisticated propaganda machine.

As long as people are sufficiently comfortable, things will continue as they are. Enough people need to find their material reality shitty enough that they're no longer willing to eat the shit we've been fed all this time. Things haven't been this concentrated since before the great depression. If we see a similar economic collapse. This time a collapse in the ad/tech market or obscene capital financialization, and we'll finally see a similar backlash against capital. We just need to make sure we finish the job and the owners can't slowly claw back political power again.

When both parties agree on something it's almost always bad

The only book of his I'd recommend is The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. It's quite Anarcho Capitalist, and sexist in places but it's an interesting revolution story regardless and has some interesting ideas in it

I'm not as confident with chopsticks so I use a long set of stainless tongs and find them quite useful

I've got a Fellow Opus so I can make espresso, as well as less fine ground coffee. It's quieter than other grinders I've used. I've also used a 1zpresso hand grinder and found it effective. Both are overkill for pour over or drip coffee

Mostly a matter of taste I think. One benefit is one less key press since relative keys shouldn't need to press enter at the end of the command. I mostly use it because it came default with LazyVim.

I just look at the line number. If the code I want to edit is 17 lines up there's a 17 next to it. My ide window looks like my comment. Normally an ide would look like this

Relative lines means each line except the one your cursor is on is relative to your current line. Like this:

5 5k jumps here

4

6 your cursor is here

8 8j jumps here

The main reason I like it is I don't like mouse ergonomics. Keeping my hands on the keyboard just feels better
