It's the same principle as what you call 9 people at a table with a Nazi. These agents deserve no nuance.

Well, President Musk has been accused of helping Epstein's trafficking, we know for sure that his Oval Office puppet was involved.

Well, you did out yourself.

Assuming they're federal agents, then yes.

We got a Nazi here.

In about 2018, I think, a team of researchers put together a mathematical model of how markets work. What they found is that wealth just naturally accumulates to a few people. It's inherent to how markets work, and it's more or less at random; in their simulation runs, every person started out in an equal position.

It's all luck. It doesn't even take being in the right place at the right time, although that helps. Since us humans operate on narratives and just-world fallacies, it's really easy for us to construct a post hoc story about why a certain billionaire succeeded. But it's all luck.

(I remember that I read about this research in Scientific American, but I don't have the link handy.)

ZFS is more than just a filesystem, it's a fully-integrated disk management system which replaces mdadm, LVM, LUKS, nfsd, rsync, as well as the filesystem. It's great for NAS boxes and file servers, since you can give it a big pile o' disks, and it slices and dices, and offers simple commands to create whatever volumes you need.

There is a reason for it: Regulations that limit the overall vehicle length. The EU has a lower maximum than the U.S., so it favors the cabover design, which allows a longer trailer. The U.S. had lots of cabover trucks on its roads until it increased the allowed length, when truckers took advantage of the easier maintenance and better ergonomics of the bonnet design.

Not the OC, but I think it's a difference in definition. The U.S. thinks that things like single-payer health care are "far left," while in the rest of the world, that's a centrist policy. Bernie Sanders is a centrist; the Democratic Party is center-right. The far left is utterly unimaginable for Americans.

You have so thoroughly captured the Windows experience. Bravo!

What do you suggest they do? Keep in mind that direct action and violence is exactly what the regime is waiting for, so that they can invoke the Insurrection Act.

What I know from publicly-confirmed information: Tesla (hence Musk) have access to the camera feeds, GPS location, remote unlock, remote control of the driving at least sufficient to back the car out of a parking stall to facilitate repossession, and, of course, remote software update. The latter could provide full remote access to everything through new software.
