Those things are more calorie dense than uranium….

I realize the law is shockingly fluid and complicated but how the ever loving fuck is this not a brain dead posse comitatus no-no?
Like, I’m not so naive as to think that’s all it takes to stop this administration but not a single challenge??!?

Thissssss.
I always felt kinda icky asking anyone out. Like I was just mimicking how you’re supposed to act and do things without even an inkling of intuition as to why.

Oh good.
Like… I’m not a law person so maybe one can chime in… but this seems like a brain dead posse comitatus no-no?

In retrospect, being the only “dude” invited to their drunken grays anatomy party should have been a sign.
Also the number of times I was the “safe” date be dragged to dances, bars, etc….

Lotta “both, definitely both” that goes on in my head….

Sympathies!
In hindsight I had a lot that I lumped into the wrong category…..

Like, why the hell did it keep happening? To say nothing of men snarking at me and joking how I kept “falling for obvious <slurs go here>”
Obviously I figured it out, but it suuuucked trying to navigate the dating world.

I kept getting crushes on very obvious lesbians as an ostensibly straight man, and it was both confusing and incredibly frustrating.

My running hypothesis is it’s partly due to gender envy and attraction being blurry as hell when you don’t know to check in with yourself on it, let alone how to discern it.
But maybe that was just me.
I just assumed I had some weird kinks and shoved the thoughts in a corner.

Are thigh highs okay?
I mean you gotta get specific here.

I had no shit for real Nazis harassing me there with impunity.
It was time to leave.

We have fifty states governing election apparatus that sets the stage for elections from dog catcher to president. There is no federalized election system in the US. Even republicans rely on that state apparatus to gain local or state office. Nobody can just turn that off like a light switch.

I have been, and will continue to post this often. Your Guard, Reserve and active duty family, friends, neighbors and coworkers are going to need it.
Please share far, wide and often!

… m they we’re blocking the road when I was coming back from Home Depot.
No, random ass tourist, you don’t need your 30 foot RV in 5 feet of the goonies house, I assure you.

I’ve been shocked at how even when things hurt them or people they know directly, they just don’t fucking care.
How do you get through to that?

I was watching a livestream earlier and was puzzled at their lack of coordination.

Sounds about right.
I was at 2400 a month for a 2 bed cottage that was heavily termite infested, and it was a steal at the time.
My landlady was actually super awesome, so I at least had that.

Ohh, not too far from me there. I was in edgemar.
I chose to live there cause it was close to SF where my office was and “cheap” (in a painfully relative way)

Astoria is great now, but it used to be pretty miserable. Now it’s sort of the quirky art and brewery hub of the north coast here.

Pacifica was well gentrified by the time I moved there in the early/mid 2010s. I was towards the northern edge of it getting close to San Bruno but had a great water view with some unreal sunsets.
Cottage was a falling apart mess, but liked it.

Well hey I lived Pacifica for 2 years!
I’ll say uhhhh, Astoria makes it seem positively Sahara like.

To wrap up, a few pros and cons of pure P2P data storage
Pros: can be resilient to tamper and loss if enough systems contribute, low cost of entry.
Cons: power and space inefficient, requires many copies of data to maintain availability, “coupon collector” problems, extreme latency variation.
comment in response to

But back to your question of “what is recommend?” It depends on your goals.
Long term data durability? Tamper resistance? High availability? Power efficient? Space efficient? Efficient request service? High throughput? Low latency? Large scale? Secure?
Some of these can be at odds.
comment in response to

It’s a complex interplay between your goals, your usage model, and your available resources.
Totally decentralized P2P systems exist, they work, and I’d argue they’re important.
But they generally don’t work well for large scale systems, and are often wildly inefficient on a variety of fronts.

Happy to ramble at length about it.
