I think it’s technically written as 10 years. If a vice president replaced the president, he could serve 2 more terms as long as he only replaced the president for 2 years. If he served out more than 2 years, he could only be president for 1 additional term.
Sounds like PTSD to me. Your fight/flight mode is getting switched randomly to flight. For me it was “freeze”.
There’s a website set up by a white-hat hacker to solicit work as a network penetrator. It has some odd name that’s assassin related (contractkiller.com or something similar, I can’t remember offhand). He set it up, and forgot about it. When he went back to it, a lot of the messages were people asking him to kill someone.
He sent all the info to the police, and left the website up. Now it’s just a honeypot for people trying to have someone killed. I visited it a while ago, it’s very tongue-in-cheek. But people are stupid and willing to believe anything.
Describe in single words only the good things that come into your mind about your mother.
Downtown of a small town in the middle of winter, late at night when nobody’s around. Cold enough that the snow squeaks under your feet as you walk, but no wind at all. Just the memory of the smell of sub-zero air makes me think about a destination with warm walls a nice cup of hot tea waiting for me.
Expect the challenge. I’ve been watching the usual suspects on Twitter, they’re completely bwashed into thinking there’s only one possible outcome, and if it goes against them it means there’s been election fraud. They’re already calling it a landslide.
Smart girls are sexy. I want someone I can discuss my mathematical theories with. I have some thoughts on prime numbers that can’t be contained.
Why yes there is, from the 19th century. But it’s not about abortion, so surely is unenforceable.
To Kill A Mockingbird
And read the book.
But billionaires are the only source of jobs and if nobody is there to buy yachts how will the trickle-down economics work?
Did they find the Grail? And a weird knight from the crusades that speaks perfect English?
The Thing (John Carpenter, 1982). Not gory, so much as gooey.
The Babadook.
The Mist. Based on a book by Steven King. King admits the movie ending is better than his own.
10 Cloverfield Lane. It’s standalone, don’t worry if you haven’t seen Cloverfield
Annihilation. The bear freaks me out.
Event Horizon. Sci-Fi/Horror
Original Ghostbusters from 1984.
Gremlins
No One Will Save You. The ending is weird, but the suspense is top-notch.
The 'Burbs. Classic Tom Hanks comedy.
Tremors.
What We Do in the Shadows
One incidental purpose of the Interstate Highway System is as emergency landing strips. But a VTOL craft should be able to make use of even the roughest roadways in the event of an emergency. Activate your hazards to alert the craft and any surrounding drivers of extraordinary circumstances.
Be prepared to render aid as necessary.
Keep in mind this is “X, the everything app”. Musk expects it to be your one stop on the internet for everything, including online banking.
But…mud bricks? Did they make any mud bricks?
Because the American system provides for a rich ecosystem of middlemen and lobbyists. If we switch to Universal Healthcare, what will they do? Code?
Beer-cooler maintenance.
I truly have no effing clue what is going on with MAGA and Russia. MAGA has some kind of love for Putin, despite Republicans absolutely despising the Russians (COMMIES!!!) since before WW2 ended.
When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, Reagan wet himself. He couldn’t get weapons into Afghani hands fast enough. Now they roll over and beg Putin to rub their bellies. Vance is using the tension with China as an excuse to abandon Europe.
He’s saying he wants to let Putin have Europe so we can focus our military on China.
I had this idea a few months ago, and found a thread discussing the same thing from several years ago. Seems like nothing came of it.
I currently use Syncthing to keep a lot of items synced across a few of my devices. It’s completely decentralized and fully encrypted. Instead of synching files, what if it could be used as an instant messenger? No central server to interrupt service. No single point of attack. No more requiring a name or phone number, just exchange a QR code to begin communicating.
I think this would excel at group messaging, especially if some members are out of service occasionally. Reconnect, and all messages get distributed.
There must be something out there that already works like this, but I don’t know of a serverless system.
