No, sure. But right at the moment, it's about our side seeing people push back in a way that will get listened to.

Well, I'd have said he was busy hammering health care, and look how that worked out. :-)
That said, it seems to be the perception that talking was most of what he did; here's the gun people's list of "23 things" he actually accomplished, and it's admittedly weak:

Well, that is probably sociopathy, and that is one thing a lot of people call evil...

Well sure. But that still doesn't make it evil for you to get it wrong. Evil requires, as the lawyers put it, mens rea, or scienter, I've never insure which of those two it is...

No, some sizable percentage of them *don't yet believe that it is that*, or can't generalize that *it could be them/family/abuela*.
There's breathing room between evil and stupid.

Perhaps. But one does not approach an audit with preconceptions about what the result will be. Audits are about facts.

Interesting. I follow some voting security people and I haven't heard anything about this. I'll take a look. Thanks.

Except not "All" countries -- not Russia.
Still worth mentioning in all uses.

I've been somewhat surprised so few questioned the 2024 election, or did county-level statistical analysis or anything that might show if Russia had it's thumb on the scale *this* time...
I mean, D's are always trying to sound like the grown-up non-conspiracists, but c'mon; not at *this* cost...

Nope; the *alternative* is *having at least one hammer to hit back with*.
Schumer is officially a fuckin' moron and {comments that would get me picked up}.

Ok. If *I'm* smarter than Schumer, and I don't know shit, we're done now.

And I'm sure that *now*, Kennedy will agree with the traditional definition of Public Health: the component of the health of the public which is important enough, and dangerous enough, that the government reserves the right to compel you to cooperate, by force.
TB quarantine, for example.

I heard callers to NPR use the title phrase non-ironically this week.

Win. That's how.
And we only have one shot left, far as I can see.

BBC reports tonight that Kash Patel told FBI employees to tell Musk to go to hell. Well, ok, not in so many words, but...

I do, in fact, believe some of that is happening; I see heds which misrepresent stories, subtly or broadly, fairly frequently.
I tend to trust the story, not the hed.

I was. I co-sysopped a couple of small boards, I ran a Fidonet/Usenet Gateway on a Zyxel modem that ended up in Mike Jittlov's living room, and I hauled my county's first Usenet feed into the junior college in 1982.
Also spent a lot of time on the original Matchmaker, running on Xenix.

An excellent example of why I prefer the earlier name: "Assuming the Consequent". No idea why that was changed...
Isn't that just a point of order though? :-)

They've re-shot, and re-run, that ad twice: on the 10th and 20th anniversaries. One time each. I checked.

Congress needs to call him in, and when he doesn't show up Dash and you know he won't - hold him in contempt and send the Marshalls out to pick him up and bring him in at gunpoint.
comment in response to

Isn't it a little late because that's already been done? Shouldn't criminal intervention by something like the US Marshals Service be the proper solution here?

About fucking time that we Democrats start playing the same game the Republicans have been playing for three decades now. We keep bringing a rubber chicken to a gunfight. Got to stop.

Any reason to assume Musk is telling any more truth here than he ever is anywhere else?

Correction: it's not possible for someone to install Icinga for the first time without doing... at least, more research outside the installer -- and even the website -- than I'm willing to put the labor into.
Nagios was easier in 2009.
I guess I'll go invest that labor in Zabbix after all.

You misspelled "but he is lying with malice aforethought", there, NYT.
Be better.
