If you've ever read Sinclair Lewis's It can't happen here, the parallel between his "marching clubs" and our Proud Boys/ICE are hard to miss.

ICE recruits people the police rejected. It's what happens when your political ideology is more important than any morality. IOW: when the ends justify the means.

To me, the nonstandard port is mostly nice for reducing log spam from scripts. The risk is that using a nonstandard port lulls one into a false sense of security and overlook good sshd practices. Good sshd practices will prevent the script-kiddies just as well as the non-standard port, while a non-standard port will not challenge a targeted attack. And, if you interact with multiple servers, it can be inconvenient to remember a different port for each one.

A handful of people use Roblox to make milllions - if they pay out $1.5B total, and the biggest 1000 developers average $1.3M, then the entire rest of their 3.5 million developers average $60.

They claim 150M daily users.

On the one hand, that reads like a lot of messages written by abusive parents to (mostly) blameless children. On the other, this one is directed at Pete Hegseth.

I've come to love building workbenches from 2x4's. They're (reasonably) cheap, soft enough to work easily, and you can essentially use mass to compensate for intrinsic rigidity. Maybe add plywood shear panels in strategic places. Even 1/4" plywood shear panel will beat most brace structures.

2x4s are cheap enough to try a design for a while & throw it out (or downgrade it to patio furniture) if it doesn't work. Soft enough to just plane a millimeter off the top when it gets beat up. If you invest in expensive hardware, move it to the new iteration. I've got like three of them now.

And here's me, reading that tech companies are feeding their employees tabasco and wondering just what that's supposed to do.

I definitely feel like GWB changed the narrative, but Clinton and GHWB both bombed Iraq, Clinton did attacks in Afghanistan & Sudan, plus the whole Bosnia and Yugoslavia things.

MFW when GWB has the smallest country count.

Venezuela wasn't big enough to drown out the Epstein files, gotta go bigger.

They haven't chosen the next democrat yet. Now is the time to be screaming that no one wants another corporate democrat, but we sure would love someone to come in and clean house and support working people.

In the game, you have to improve your properties to charge more rent. In reality, the monopoly can reduce quality and raise price at the same time.
