Looks like I hit a nerve - Apparently you can criticize working cops, but not illegal immigrants.

Press X to doubt. Theoretically a free market would/should solve this. That's been the dream of Free Software and hardware. Today you can run GNU/Linux on a PinePhone, or GrapheneOS or similar de-Googled Androids on a Pixel.

GrapheneOS, but it only supports recent Pixel devices: https://grapheneos.org/faq#supported-devices

This was the first episode I watched, and it hit hard enough that I just couldn't do any more of it.

I'll admit I don't know anything about the situation, but the phrase "violent genocide of muslims by buddhists" was NOT something I was expecting to hear anywhere.

The only worse combinations would be AI+Communism, or (arguably what we have) AI+Facism

"FIPS is the answer to the question, 'How can we force all cryptographic software to be approved by a government committee?'" [1]

Here's your reminder that even if FIPS itself isn't evil, it moves in evil circles with evil people. [2]

I assume the copper wire was designed as a simple resistive switch? That will cause electrolysis and corrosion. There's an improved design that involves measuring capacitance, which also uses less power. I have a commercial sump pump monitor that works this way.
Hopefully you don't have a fire....See: Notre Dame
I mean, yeah - They're pretty enthusiastically telling us that's what they want to do. It's not a conspiracy theory if they're actually advertising it...

Especially when dishonestly applied to so many people who had all their other shots and maybe some extras, but just weren't on board with this one brand new one.
> scientists changed their advice as the pandemic developed

"Changing advice" is to be expected, but it was the outright lying, as proven by FOIA'd emails, which understandably shook faith.

The old joke: "The difference between doctors and programmers is that programmers actually admit to finding all their answers on the internet!'

The "deep state" was never meant to be part of the checks and balances; it was meant to be prevented by such. Yet Hobbes's Leviathan grows unchecked.
