The Supreme Court Rules That Cops Can Steal Your Stuff—as They Always Have
By a 6-3 vote, the conservative justices decided that there is no need for the state to provide a preliminary hearing in civil forfeiture cases.😡
When cops decide to help themselves to your property, they can do it without a warrant, without securing a conviction, without even charging you with a crime. 😡
When the government doesn't obey the law,
Then there is no law.

Well, not entirely. You can't just own a gun and make the rules. You have to be more organized and have more better guns.
Let it be said, it's better to be on the side of the people with the more better guns and the organization to back it. There are ways. I encourage people to run for City Council.
Having a charge-the-collection day. Every time I do this iPod I forget it's a HD based machine until partway through it fires up the drive with a noise that sounds like the ones that early morning huntsman spiders make when they click to each other on the walls.
@nixCraft because technically you can use any modern spreadsheet program to perform the same functions as a personal database (eg. filtering tables, generating reports, organising data, searching for records, etc)
It's a good thing that people don't have to learn Microsoft Access or LibreOffice Base to do that imho. 🙂
This idea that using spreadsheets as a database is a "noob" thing to do probably should have went away about 10-15 years ago.
these are late bc they required a child to send photos lol but my daughter was on an overnight ferry out in the Pacific ocean (near Haida Gwaii, BC) when the northern lights came.
The kids had one of the nights of their lives. I think these are great, so I'm putting them here
Someone said it's important say this publicly in the US: so I will. (And I think each of us should, online and to friends)
This November I will vote for Biden.
I would regard not voting for Biden, particularly in: PA, OH, MI, WI, IN, IL,VA, GA, FL, AZ, ME, NC, NH, etc. as a huge error. I'd be disappointed to find out anyone I knew didn't vote. It's one of a long list of things we need to do. We can't skip it.
And still? We deserve better choices, and in the future we shall have them.
When people treat other humans that way, they don't just bounce back from it. The ideologies that support such actions don't just die and vanish. I don't think there is any advantage to "things getting worse" it only delays progress. If we could erase those events we would know a better world than we do today.
What is true is that we have to try to come back anyway. But there is no silver lining to it.
Question guys, if for some reason I ever have to end up resetting my computer, what happens to all of my stuff? I ask because most of it is not stored on the same drive with the operating system.
@evilcookies98 hmmm. now that could make things interesting. while those programs are installed to the secondary drive, when you do a reinstall of windows, windows won't know what to do with those programs, so you would have to reinstall them again, I would assume.
A photographer's dream. I've been photographing at Mono Lake for many years, and never did I expect to get photos like these, I didn't think it was possible. The aurora came and went for only about 15 minutes with that intensity, shifting colors before vanishing. #Aurora#NorthernLights#MonoLake
To give you an idea of the Asian American anger at David Chang for being an asshole who wanted to enforce trademarks on ‘chilli crunch’, I was at my friend’s home in LA looking at his Asian cookbooks when he said, ‘you wanna see some garbage?’ Then he pulled out the Momofuku cookbook and we both laughed and laughed
@skinnylatte the romantic part of me that got into cooking stuff for days sous vide or constantly stocking my freezer with bones (and then stocks) says, “Building a wood grill hmmm.”
Heh, thanks. I have seen a little of Just One Cookbook, I’ll revisit.
@zackstern haha I liked that and did that for a while but frankly just want to go to a good restaurant for it now. It takes so much practice to do well. Yakitori Toriman in Santa Cruz is my fave, ex Rintaro chefs decamped there and do their own thing. If you check IG, sometimes they go to Berkeley too
Yo, if you live in Berlin and have a sunny balcony/garden/window. You can get a plug-in solar setup for basically free.
This city subsidy program gives you up to 500€ for a setup and most only cost you around 300-400€.
Its basically free electricity for your apartment/home.
Curious; Does that have an inverter? If it does, can it be connected to my house wiring?
If inverter is not included, how am I (average Joe) supposed to utilize that?
Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:
@patrickworld 🔥 🔥 🔥 that would be fucking fire. to be able to have the close caption on a pair of glasses. you wouldn't be beholden to one language. you could do ANY language you wanted. now THAT's a future i want.
@blogdiva I mean the UN has live translation in their headphones damn it why can’t I have subtitles for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes? (Equally important) 🤷🏾♂️
@beatricejess@Npars01@KatM@amydiehl Believe me, by the time they turn 10 or 11, they've got their own social networks, and you're only needed to feed them and ferry them places. And make sure they get their shots and checkups and homework done, of course.
“Telegram has launched a pretty intense campaign to malign Signal as insecure, with assistance from Elon Musk. The goal seems to be to get activists to switch away from encrypted Signal to mostly-unencrypted Telegram”
@sgued LOL that’s rich. Post-Compromise Security is a property that was literally pioneered by Moxie Marlinspike and Trevor Perrin when they designed the Signal protocol. Telegram doesn’t have it whatsoever even in the rare case someone enables its E2EE.
