My computer may restart a few times.
USB is a stack of protocols which is over complicated. Many USB implementations are riddled with bugs and people are used to just "disconnect and reconnect" when it crashes. See Raspberry Pl and how USB is a pile of shit, drivers are crashing and since they went with ethernet over usb, even ethernet is unreliable. Implementing a working USB host support is über-complicated and basically require your device to have a full blown operating system (Linux) This might sound "not a big problem" but it raises costs and development efforts a lot when all you want to produce is, eg, a audio speaker. Compare this with just having a raw audio signal, and also think of when the dock connector was introduced (2002), when there was no Android in sight, USB support in Linux kernel was causing kernel panics when you plugged a USB pendrive, etc. Even though it might be easier to deploy USB today, it's still a complicated and unreliable bus, with many broken implementations and broken drivers. It's a total no-go in the industry world where things are supposed to be plugged in and then work 24/7 for months or years without crashing or without people having to disconnect and reconnect. I work in the industrial embedded field, I have worked in at least 3-4 projects where USB caused total failure and eventually forced a redesign to drop it. In the others, USB is avoided
One of the reasons every device is basically an entire fully capable computer now
lol
reading the situation in a manner favorable to him: he is an absolute lunkhead who can’t listen and act in others’ interests even after a landslide of signals over many years.
Doesn’t sound like someone well-suited to represent constituents.
They fund it in Gaza. They're doing it to Venezuelan fisherman. They're doing it in Iran. They're doing it in the streets and in concentration camps to immigrants in the US. They've done it to US citizen protestors on the streets in Minnesota.
There are no limits to what they are capable of.
they knew they could get away with it because they practiced all those times on the “narco-terrorist” boats, where they also killed the survivors, and nobody sent them to The Hague about it so they are running completely unchecked right now with full use of the arsenal. I do not know how this ends
Now you have me wondering if they answer your questions, or just smile and nod 🙂
Here's the Ecuador invasion, btw.

Bro, ICE is still here kidnapping people, now they’ve even got transit vans advertising fake companies.
A Minnesota federal judge has ordered the state’s top federal prosecutor and ICE officials to appear in his courtroom Tuesday to explain why they should not be held in civil or criminal contempt for what he alleges are repeated court violations.
Two Kansans are suing in state court over the new law invalidating trans people's licenses & deputizing bathroom bounty hunters
And they're arguing on state law grounds alone
Kansas's anti-trans law violates federal law too, but federal courts can't be trusted

MSM: “How come our reputation is in tatters & customers at all time lows?!”
(Invites Donald Trump to a nice dinner in the middle of an illegal war after a year of crippling the government, shooting his own citizens dead in Minneapolis, kidnapping thousands with masked secret police)
Bryan Betancur live-streamed threats to bash my head which was a violation of his probation for violating a 3 year anti-stalking order of another woman.
He had violated the anti-stalking order on her multiple times at the time of filming but I guess this was the judges red line so he went to jail.
The sentence "Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow" written in Calibri in all lower-case, first in regular typeface and second in italics. In the regular typeface, the A and G are both double-decker, while in the italic typeface, they are single-decker.
how is it that I never noticed that Calibri changes the letterforms of the lowercase "a" and "g" when italicized
This statement by Marco Rubio is a thing of beauty. No notes. It can be taken exactly as is and dropped into Orwell's 1984. I believe the correct Homeric adjective for military reasoning like this is "Hell-kissed."
Get thee to the Smithsonian, war crime-speak.

BREAKING: SCOTUS shadow docket decision rules in favor of forced outing of trans students, reinstating a lower court ruling against California's law prohibiting forced outing. Also references forcing teachers to misgender trans students. Horrific precedent.

Bluesky is bad because everyone thinks identically (tells me I stink) instead of featuring a diversity of thought (telling me I'm a smart handsome boy)
These are “low enrollment” majors but the classes are regularly at capacity. They changed the funding structure a few years ago here, switching the allocation from course enrollments to majors then blamed these departments for a structural, top-down change. This is entirely a political choice.
When Trump came to power, he ripped up the peace deal that Obama had made, and used the uncertainty he created as an excuse to bomb Iran, insisting he had ended the problem he had created once and for all, except now he's bombing them again to solve the problem he created and previously solved?

in 2011 NASA named the 2009 John Cusack film "2012" the least scientifically accurate film
<< i’d have waited until 2013. Just in case 🤣

NASA says this is the least scientifically accurate movie ever (and it earns the title)

Fans of the western sky after sunset have lately enjoyed this month's remarkable array of bright planets. Witnessed from some locations, on February 18 planet Mercury even appeared to slide behind the Moon, an event known as a lunar occultation. These two snapshots, taken in early evening skies show before and after telescopic views of the rare disappearance of innermost planet behind young Moon. The top panel finds bright Mercury just visible at the northern (right) edge of the earthshine-illuminated lunar disk. In the bottom panel the bright planet has emerged in darker skies beyond the Moon's sunlit crescent. As seen south of Sallisaw, Oklahoma, planet Earth, this lunar occultation of Mercury lasted only about 3 minutes (video). But you can still check out a parade of planets tonight.

Opening up new fronts when things are going badly is a sign of desperation for sure.
But it's sort of like seeing a cornered raccoon scratching and biting and saying, "oh that scratching and biting is a distraction."
And, like. It's just what they do, dude.
