Many work places require employees to bring their own tools (eg auto mechanic). Requiring a phone or tablet is probably legal.

The dark web has many truly anonymous forums, if you can tolerate the subject matter.

tell them about Linux

You monster.

Saying “I pirated XYZ”, though, is admitting to a criminal act, and can be used in court if linked strongly to a person through their account information and IP address.

Type writers do not create right aligned text. They are monospaced!!!

The current Dream Chaser is cargo only, but Sierra Space would like to build a crewed version that launches without a fairing. The cargo version launches inside a fairing with folding wings.

I like how you use the word ‘rich’ instead of ‘cartel’ as if there were a useful distinction between them. They differ only on the scale of how openly they embrace violence as a solution.

NTA. Unless he purchased them from you with cash or a lowered rent, they are yours to do with as you please.

NTA. Your husband was showing you who he is and how he views women (and perhaps, you). Your son deserves better. He needs support in understanding both his feelings and how his parents would have him behave. If you have not had ‘the talk’ with him. Now is your chance to tell him that relationships are far more about communication than anatomy. Dad may be a lost cause, but continue to tell him when you disagree with him. He is unlikely to re-think his attitude unless he hears from you that disagree.

How is counting dead children misrepresenting what is going on? Dead is dead. When I say I want fewer guns it is because I want fewer deaths, gang members and depressed kids included.

What government investment are you talking about? SpaceX paid for the first flight with their own cash. Launch contracts for Falcon Heavy were for subsequent flights. Heck, SpaceX got in trouble from the US government for the live stream of pictures.

On the first flight of SpaceX’s Falcon 1 rocket, a university satellite was the payload. Not only did the launch fail in just the first few seconds, but the payload crashed back. Landing in the shipping container it arrived in. First launches of rockets do not have good track records. Risking a silly car was arguably more fun than the equally useless “mass simulators” used on most first launches. If it were my satellite, I would not have wanted it on the first Falcon Heavy launch.

If Trump and his team could dream it up in far less than a month, mere mortals will be able to follow it. It’s not really all that complex. Just f*** over the election counting process in a variety of ways.

I keep an Outlook.com account to communicate with Microsoft. Render unto Caesar that which is Caesars.

That’s why there’s an Insurrection Act.

The overlap of iso-8601 and rfc-3339 is God’s own, the regions outside are lower.

As written, the CFAA really does make violating terms of service become unauthorized access and thus a felony. Some courts have pushed back on this, but I don’t think it has been clearly decided.

A solution requires more than just providing food and shelter. We have a class of people who are marginally mentally ill or barely literate. They do not function well enough to hold down a job or fill out a welfare form, but they function too well to require that they be locked up. These people need a semi-monitored place with enough oversight to keep them safe. The street can’t do that, but they have no other place to go.

Camp has the best chili. I do miss the umlaut in the Höpple street sign. It was there when I started eating at Camp Washington in 1980.
