Cooling water is generally cycled.

Also, don't acknowledge the organization as real. They were created in 2003 when the Federal government decided to take away all our rights, tap all our communications illegally, all to save us from dangerous shoes, and 5 ounces of shampoo at airport scanners.

ICE was borne of evil, and is evil. They all deserve a complicated life and zero respect, at a minimum.

(Fun fact: TSA was created in 2001 for similar reasons.)

On the other hand, since the Federal government is no longer adhering to the rule of law, nobody should care to.

Respect one's state and local laws, if they are fair, and one feels like it. Otherwise? Fuck it all.

On the front end, you can put lipstick on that pig.

On the back end, it has to work and there's nowhere to apply lipstick.

OTOH, it seems there is a trend in modern dev practices that it's acceptable for a service to terminate frequently, as long as it respawns, which finally made me figure out all the sci-fi tropes where a ship's systems aren't responding. It's because too many are crashing in concert. But mostly terrifying that this practice would ever be considered practical.

Check out OpenHAB. They already have containers available right on their downloads page.

Proof! Canadian quarter in a vending machine: rejected!

Completely fake money! (/s obv. Border states often interchange Canadian/US currency, vending machines reject currency they don't know.)

It's so easy to parse what they say if you use 1984 rules. Reverse everything.

"Democrats are cheating the vote!" => "We are"

"Democrats are trafficking children and drinking their blood!" => "We are"

"Democrats are letting gangs into the country!" => "We are"

As a consumer, I'm almost glad. China was abusing that loophole to firehose so much half-assed garbage into the country. There were entire business models around people buying items from China and then reselling them on Amazon at 4x+ markup.

Reality is, once the grifters refocus, the same half-assed garbage will keep coming, it'll just come in bulk, cost more, and still be junk, and still be cheaper than if it were to be manufactured in the USA.

Parsing commas is hard, right? No, not really.

Did some research a while back.

Mango Mussolini failed businesses:

  • At least four failed building ventures
  • Had a failed “university”
  • Failed vodka business (how hard is that, right?)
  • Failed steak business
  • Failed airline
  • Failed board game
  • Failed casinos in Atlantic City (how do you fail at running multiple businesses that only exist to hoover up money?)
  • Failed magazine
  • Failed luxury travel organization
  • Failed mortgage company
  • Failed presidency that took Pres. Biden’s administration most of their entire term to fix. We’re talking documents that are gone, departments that are deleted, abject chaos that had to be rebuilt from scratch in some cases.

Successes:

  • Had mommy’s money to get him going
  • Had 5 successful buildings built, mostly in the 1980s
    • At least three of them had fraudulent financial statements, inflated valuations, and inflated tax losses

On Mac at least, you can rename the app back to Remote Desktop. Microsoft sure is dumb as a bag of bricks these days.

Probably the LARPer subcategory. The smart ones know cops aren't to be trusted due to low IQ requirements, among other problems.
