Dude, they don't even need the Internet anymore. They just tell lies wherever. Tell them enough and they stop being lies. That's how it works, right? If enough people believe the lie, it becomes the truth.

In reality, they'll probably just refuse to take it up if the most recent federal appeal comes down the "right" way. Because they're cowards. Like most of the government.
I can't wait to read the legal gymnastics the SCOTUS is going to barf out to OK this!
"You see the 1st amendment only protects the party in power..."
"If that speech makes the leader of the country sad, then it cannot be protected by the Constitution he's sworn to uphold!"
"Because of this precedent we're choosing to interpret completely opposite to its history being taught in law schools, the 1st amendment only protects registered Republicans. But, and this is important, this isn't setting precedent. This is a one-off. You know, legal no backsies!"
Plus, a lot of people just don't care enough to give up their Cherry Garcia. People attach value to the strangest things.
I think, in certain cases, they can. IANAL, but I'm thinking about the formula for Coke or KFC's 11 herbs and spices recipe. Aren't those consider trade secrets? I mean they probably can't protect "vanilla," but they can trademark their specific formulation named something like "virgin snow vanilla?" I actually cringed a bit writing that...

Everything happens in a vacuum with these people. Except when it's about the "radical left." This it's just projection.
Trash is a great place to start. There was another guy I found helpful, too. Dr Frankenstein, I think? Also, I can't remember where I found the swag write-up I used for my current setup, but swag/dockerproxy are awesome. No open ports on the router, and automatic subdomain/SSL setup w/ Cloudlfare by adding 1 label to the compose file.
Only 2 notes I have about Trash guides are:
- Include some kind of ingest directory for qbittorrent. Helpful when you want to d/l a torrent that's not managed by one of the arrs. Just save it there and thy will be done!
- Pay close attention to the quality settings. Most don't have a fallback quality. So if you say you want 4k for movies, it will often fail to find something, especially if it's older, and you have to go see why, change the quality to 1080, etc. Instead, use the quality guide to understand how it works, and set up what you want with appropriate fallback. For example, I prefer to get 720p for TV. Especially w/ long running shows they can take up A LOT of space, even at 1080! BUT sometimes 720 just isn't available. 1080 is usually the first thing that comes out, so I add 1080 as second choice. For older shows, I add DVD quality as third choice, HDTV next, and 480p last (probably have those last two backwards). This way, it will pretty much always get something decent, and if the quality I want is ever released, I have it configured to continually search. Looking over the Trash guides definitely helped me dial this in, but I'm not using the stock version of any of their presets.
One thing I need to figure out is identifying shows that have hearing disabled tracks as their default/only. I've been watching Taskmaster, and lots of the episodes in more recent seasons have the descriptive voice-over that's annoying to me since I don't need it.
I don't even know what you're saying here. Are you arguing that generals are uncaring? If you are, you haven't met many. As I said in my previous original post, good generals care about the people under their command. When generals are sending soldiers to their deaths, the death part isn't a certainty. The orders the general gives is intended to give the soldiers the best chance at achieving their goals w minimal loss of life. If for no other reason than if you lose all your guys because you did a Picket's Charge, you... wind up like Picket. And now we're getting into the motivations of the generals when they make plans and give orders. All of this is to say it's way more messy that you're trying to make it out to be. Good/Bad, Black/White, ignores things like perspective & circumstance - gray areas, of which there are a plethora because humans are often irrational, often unintentionally.
Of course nobody grows up completely alone. I never said they did. I said plenty of kids grew up without parents. That doesn't mean they were left completely alone! There are plenty of kids in foster care in the US whose host families provide some food, a roof over their head, maybe a bed, and little else. It's a pretty old story, and again plenty of those kids grew up fine. I'm not arguing that it's an ideal situation, or that kids in those circumstances have as much chance at a happy life as ones in loving homes (w/ or w/o their birth parents). I'm just saying it isn't as black and white as you're making it out.
Fair take, and well stated. Looks are subjective, so can’t really fault someone for liking the look of something I think looks overdone at best. Extra points for recognizing that it was clearly designed by someone who has never needed a truck for anything more than helping someone move or hauling expensive weekend toys.
Why is hydrogen a step in the wrong direction?

I should probably try going back to it. Saw the first episode and never went back to it.
