Lovely.

The company I work for has some of the general managers of stores carrying tasers.

My retirement plan is to die in the climate wars.

Have you tried less avocado toast and lattes...? /S

I had a former colleague called up to Minneapolis during that uprising. That seems to be what their understanding generally was. At one point, they were shot at. Returning fire was very much not on their minds, it was more making sure people were OK (no one was hurt).

Keep order was the idea.

Seemed the person shooting was basically trying to provoke them. It failed.

You missed Vladimir Putin and Pete Buttigieg!

I'm more concerned that something that important is only in the summary. Either I don't understand how bills are written, granted in a state I don't live in, or the text was changed but the summary not?

Wait, you guys have retirement accounts?

GrapheneOS supports recent Pixels. I think right now they are supporting the 5a and later, with legacy and extended support back to the 4.

I use Hostpoint.

They were recommended by Protonmail, and meet my privacy concerns.

Not intentionally.

For example, Judit Polgar. Chess grandmaster, and excellent player, her highest rank in unsegregated rankings, like maybe top 100 right? Yeah, by age 12 she was 55th. Peak she was 8th in the world. Not 8th among women, among men and women.

It's unsettling how she was regarded by some, and this was in the 90s. If I remember right, even Kasparov was less than kind. He might have turned around in his later years.
