IphtashuFitz,

I hope you realize that virtually every CDN provider does the exact same thing in similar ways. Sites that use Akamai, AWS, Google cloud, Fastly, etc. all give those companies access to unencrypted content. It’s just how CDNs work…

IphtashuFitz,

I’m looking forward to seeing how the judge addresses all these rants at his sentencing.

IphtashuFitz, (edited )

That will trigger the trap door under the welcome mat.

IphtashuFitz,

So prison it is then!

IphtashuFitz,

Government won’t allow him to go to a prison. It would be a liability for nation security.

In what way? He’s already bragged about and shown off countless classified documents, and potentially given or sold some of them to US adversaries. If he’s put in prison he’ll likely be put into protective custody for the safety of both him and his guards.

Foreign Entities would go crazy for the chance to Epstein him. It would de-stabilize the US for a decades

I find that extremely hard to believe. He’s a private citizen and now a convicted felon on top of that. He may have a small but rabid fan base, but even if he died under unusual circumstances it wouldn’t destabilize the US. The worst it might do is further fracture the GOP, but given what it’s turned into over the past decade I don’t see that as a bad thing.

IphtashuFitz,

I really hope Judge Merchan goes hard on the sentencing due to trumps public actions afterwards.

Not just afterwards, but during as well. How many times was he held in contempt, warned, etc. And after Trump got nervous that he was going too far, he enlisted others to carry on attacks against the judge, prosecutors, jury, etc.

IMHO (not a lawyer) I think the judge would be well within his rights to throw the book at Trump for all his behavior.

IphtashuFitz,

He certainly won’t need it if incarcerated. Prisons have a lot of experience segregating high profile prisoners for the safety of both the inmate and the guards.

IphtashuFitz,

Somebody please pour some sealer over that chalk before it rains…

IphtashuFitz,

I really wonder if the judge will call out Trumps behavior, the multiple gag order violations, etc. and use all that to justify a harsher sentence. One can only hope…

IphtashuFitz,

As an old school M:I devotee I couldn’t agree more. I still watch the original series fro time to time and thoroughly enjoy it.

I also cringe at the mental gymnastics over the plot of this new 2-part movie…. You’ve got an evil AI on board a Russian sub that tricks the crew into torpedoing itself. The crew all dies but the AI survives onboard the sunken sub. And despite being stuck on a blown-up sub at the bottom of the ocean the AI is still a serious global threat. On top of that a two-part physical key that is the only thing that can disable the AI somehow made it off the sub and everybody is scrambling to find them. Once the keys are recovered somebody (clearly Tom Cruises character) will have to get onto the sunken sub and destroy the AI.

Why doesn’t the US or UK just go shoot a few more torpedoes at the sunken sub and obliterate the AI once and for all? The need to suspend so much reality for this plot drives me nuts.

IphtashuFitz,

Even if one does have money for EV, charging stations are extremely rare and you WILL find yourself stranded if you attempt any long drive unless you have a “old” combustion engine car or an hybrid both affected by the higher prices.

Bullshit. My wife and I did a two week road trip up/down 2/3 of the east coast in our Tesla last year, and not once did we have a problem charging. Half the hotels we stayed in had level 2 chargers that didn’t cost us anything to use, and Teslas SuperCharger network was perfectly reliable. We also found more than one parking garage with free chargers while parked.

Now that NACS has been adopted as the open SAE J3400 standard and most EV manufacturers have announced support for it, the rollout of more third party fast chargers should start ramping up soon. And with Tesla open up Superchargers to other EVs it’s getting easier and easier to charge.

IphtashuFitz,

As long as those people actually vote for Biden and don’t waste their vote on a protest…

IphtashuFitz,

Tesla also has a gigafactory & Supercharger factory in China. If Musk pissed them off, China could slap huge tariffs coming out of those factories.

You're a time traveler, what would you do if you went back in time to make the most of it?

I'd go back to the 1970s, the dawning of personal computer growth in it's beginnings. I'd take every single idea and patent from today and collect them all in a multiple series of binders. I would spend weeks holed up in some apartment, jotting notes, re-directing credits to me....

IphtashuFitz,

I’d mail my younger self a list of dates when I should invest in various stocks, and when to sell.

IphtashuFitz,

I know of at least one stretch of road near me that’s missing a speed limit sign. It drops down to 25 mph around some curves, then increases to 45 as it straightens back out. The sign for 45 is missing, so cars that read signs would be driving too slow at that point. GPS apps like Waze get it right…

IphtashuFitz,

I thought people didn’t want trailers that gave away entire movie plots…

IphtashuFitz,

Make the Boeing CEO and other executives be the first human guinea pigs in this thing.

IphtashuFitz,

That’s an optional software upgrade. It’ll cost you $12.95 a month.

Getting rear ended on the highway by a drunk driver. Had all of about 1 second of warning when she slammed on her brakes and started skidding.

IphtashuFitz,

Just support contactless payments. Then people can just tap their phone, Apple Watch, credit card, etc.

This sounds to me like a solution looking for a problem…
