  • Here is a great article explaining the extent of the immunity.

    The 119-page decision affords the executive immunity from criminal prosecution for “official acts” in two layers—core constitutional acts that are absolutely protected, and presumptive immunity for official acts that are not core that can be overcome only if the government can show that applying a criminal prohibition on that act wouldn’t encroach on the functions of the executive branch. Unofficial acts are not protected.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but ordering mass executions seems to be barely in the presumptive immunity area, and also would be political suicide. There would be serious repercussions if any president ordered the excecution of any innocent American.

    I’m curious about your source of information about the restrictions on what evidence can be presented to the jury. I hadn’t heard that before, and I’d like to learn more.







  • Hmm, it looks like the first few messages there are doing initial setup. After that, it looks like it’s having trouble loading some of its libraries. Then it isn’t able to read your sound devices. I haven’t run Mixxx with nixos or pipewire, but maybe try the flatpak? Sorry it isn’t running out of the box for you.





  • We haven’t been able to find a Walmart Pickup location that doesn’t use way too many plastic grocery bags, so we finally got around to buying and using reusable bags, and it’s so much better! I can actually bring in the groceries in one trip now. I’m never going back. IDK why the shoppers at Walmart insist on putting only 1 or 2 items in each plastic bag. I understand keeping some items separate for food safety, but this is ridiculous! I used to live close to my grandma who crochets plastic grocery bags into sleeping pads for unhoused folks, but we moved away from her and have no use for 20-30 plastic bags a week.
