At the expense of your credit score tanking and never being able to recover.
I recognize that, but even if they were to still somehow navigate the economic situation, the government officials would immediately be charged with sedition and a warrant would be issued for their arrest. They wouldn't be able to flee the country because any allied country would extradite them to the formal United States government. So the only other option would be to stay and forcefully defend their arrest. That brings in the national guard and any escalation would drive us toward a true civil war. MAYBE secession becomes so popular amongst the population that they also are willing to defend their secessionists political leaders with force, but I doubt it. Even in the event of it becoming a true civil war, the rest of the United States is absolutely massive. There'd be no way of defending against all of the avenues of attack. Air superiority would be established immediately by surrounding AFBs, mobile AA systems, and returning aircraft carriers. Naval blockade would prevent any foreign aid from reaching the West Coast. Lack of any real microchip processing plants would make the proliferation of modern arms impossible....
I just can't see any other outcome than those government leaders being arrested, replaced, then any secession being nullified and reversed by the newly installed government officials. Though if you are able to think of something, I'd be open to thinking of a potential rebuttal.
Yeah, it stopped the United States from breaking up before. What better case study than the exact same scenario. Just this time its a much much stronger union army against a much much poorer economic system for the seceding army.
Other countries would not supply the secessionists with any military equipment and they almost certainly wouldn't purchase any products from them either. International sanctions against the seceding states would end the "war" before it even began.
Seceding from the union is illegal. They would just arrest the organizers in the state government and replace them with acceptable politicians to bring them back in line.
Alito added that she has designed her own flag in her head, which she wants to have made and flown. It features the Italian word “vergogna,” which means shame.
No no no. You don't get to just use italian whenever you want to veil your shithead sense of self worth. You leave a romance language out of this and put that shit in plain English.
Lindsey fucking Graham gets no leeway from me
Climate change realists (people that have common sense) voting less than the average population is not something I expected. If anyone believes that climate change is real and isn't voting Democrat, you're the problem.
Climate change has become reality because of apathy. Not evil actors. They've always been the minority relying on inaction.
Of those 350 postcards, 330 were immediately thrown in the trash without being read.
Edit: Also 350 postcards with the proper postage would cost $185.50
What if she's a double agent for the democratic party? An antifa plant meant to flip republican seats for the coming of the second anti-christ after Donald Trump defeated Hillary.
The replacement level birth rate is 2.1 children per woman. The US is at 1.6 but the yearly population growth rate is trending back up due to immigration. Worldwide the birth rate is still at 2.6. Experts estimate that the population will continue to increase up until 2060 before it will start to plateau or gently fall to a homeostasis.
Its not a problem. A consistent population is much easier to plan for financially and socially.
I kinda like this idea. Publicly accessible USPS chargers and profits are rolled directly back into their budget IN ADDITION TO current funding.
The US has over 160,000 miles of rail. That $6B is just $37,500 per mile and doesn't take into account money needed to update/upgrade stations and crossings.
St. Louis to Chicago is a very, very flat 260 miles. To buy an Amtrak ticket it's $36-43 and takes 5h.
I'm traveling to Italy soon and a ticket from Genoa to Rome is €35, about the same distance between a sea front and a mountain range, and takes a whole hour less travel time.
Amtrak is in desperate need of public funding and freight rail needs to be prosecuted for blatantly ignoring laws that give passenger trains the right of way on rails.
Cool article. I just wish they would provide more images of the vessel as it lies and detail what caused the sinking.
Sorry, but once you're so filthy rich you can own and operate a private jet, you lose the right two things:
- My sympathy
- The right to not be eaten
No kidding. No one needs 64oz of soda with their meal. McDonald's is actually one of the few fast food places that saw an increase in customers over the last few years and they're planning on releasing a $5 meal soon.
You think that the circles she moves in aren't aware of what she's doing? They encourage it.
I'm trying to set up a Pi-hole on my in-laws' home network. I've got everything configured on the pi but ad-blocking wasn't working. So I did some digging into the logs and found that DNS requests were all coming from the router.
After some reading it seems that the DHCP server that the router used was adding a DNS suffix to all requests (search.charter), so I turned off the DHCP server on the router and used pi-hole's built-in DHCP to see if this would resolve the issue. I didn't have enough time to test the fix, but here's my understanding of what was happening before I changed the configuration:
I set the primary DNS server to the IP address of the pi-hole in the router settings so they would have network wide adblocking. All of the clients get a DHCP assigned DNS server address which was set to the router's address. I would input example.com into a client's browser, the DNS request would be sent to the router, then the router would act as a client in the pi-hole logs. Pi-hole tells the router that example.com is found at 192.158.1.38 and the ads being hosted on the website are at 0.0.0.0. The router sees that the DNS server didn't return a result for one of the queries, so it goes to an upstream DNS server hosted by the ISP where they provide the IP for the ad. Both addresses are sent along to the client device and the pi-hole shows the ad domain as being blocked.
Is that true? Did changing the DHCP server to the Pi-hole fix the problem? Is there anything more that I need to do? Did I totally whiff on troubleshooting? Let me know if you need more information. Any help would be appreciated since I'm trying to learn a little bit more about networking and take a little more control of my home network. Thanks!
Some background. I set up a Jellyfin server for my family to host TV shows and movies for them for free. I finally had enough of Xfinity and switched to T-Mobile 5G home internet, but in doing so, I lost the ability to control my network's port forwarding. I'm spending literally half the previous amount on internet and getting the same speeds, so I don't plan on going back.
What I do plan on doing is setting up a new server at my parent's house and running it on their network. Problem is that I'm 2 hours away. My plan is to use Qbit, jackett, and the arrs to automatically download torrents. Is there any way to automatically rename torrents to match Jellyfin's naming convention for organization and metadata downloads?
(Disclaimer: yes, I bought a $180 4TB Crucial SSD too, but my family split the cost with me since they're going to use my Jellyfin server. Whether that counts towards the final cost is up to you. And the electricity cost is pretty negligible to run a Le Potato as a server, but I guess you can count that too.)
So this all started rather innocently. I was fed up with all the ads being shoved in my face with everything I do, so I finally decided that it was time to set up a Pi-hole on a single board computer. For me, it ended up being a Le Potato. I had never even touched Linux prior to this, so it took me a day or so to get everything set up. I love learning new things so I kind of got hooked on learning my way around Linux basics and decided that I was going to upgrade my setup to a Pi-hole + VPN using wireguard. That was kind of a beast to configure as a novice but I got that to work after about a week. Now I was getting ad free content anywhere I wanted on my phone. I rode that high for a few weeks until I realized that I was just scratching the surface of what I could do with my little $30 Linux server setup and this is where I really got to upgrade.
I had learned of Jellyfin from LTT and decided that I was going to test it out. I set up the Jellyfin server on the Le Potato and I was off to the races. Now I just needed content. I read through some of the wiki and settled on Mullvad+qbittorrent to find the content I wanted. With everything configured it still didn't really feel complete, so I set up profiles for my family members and gave them their own passwords to access the content. I quickly realized that 64 GB was not nearly enough (without a rolling library) and I was getting annoyed with having to constantly swith the flash drive I was using between the Le Potato and the laptop where I was downloading my content. So I went out and bought a 4TB USB SSD from Crucial and set up access as a NAS on Ubuntu with Samba.
It's just now finally set up. My family texts me to let me know what it is they're wanting to watch, I torrent it, upload it to my NAS, and Jellyfin streams that content to my family 100% free. I've turned my 6 family members into pirates and they barely even realize it.

An AFQT score is derived from the ASVAB(essentially the militaries' IQ test). IQ scores are based on a normal distribution of scores from the general population with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. So the 30th percentile represents an IQ score of 92 while the 10th percentile would correlate with an IQ of 81.
I'm buying a libre computer (le potato) and using it to set up my first pi-hole. I'm very new to this kind of tinkering, so bare with me. I'm hoping to use just one le potato as both my pi-hole and a media center to run Kodi. Is this even possible for one, and two is Kodi what I should be using for pirating hard to access content? Without a VPN? Or is there a better solution available?
