The bar for losing your job as a congress person or any public servant for corruption should be way lower than the bar for being sent to prison.

There's "knowing how" and there's having your mobile constantly within arms reach.

Also, her obvious corruption. Her and her husband make waaaaaaaay above average on the stock market due to her insider knowledge. But I'm sure that never affects her policy positions.

Don't forget his "lawsuit" against Media Matters.

There are very few Linux viruses. With its low market share, it's not a juicy target, or at least not desktop users.

Lamarckian evolution mixed with racism, wow. I'm not surprised.

I use AirVPN. It's reliable and I like their vpn client Eddie, but there are a few things you should know. Google blocks traffic from all of their Dallas servers, about 20% of their us based servers. Also, a few web hosting companies block AirVPN traffic, at least on the servers I use, including GoDaddy. I can't access the Linux Mint forums while on AirVPN either. Every day or two I have to disable the VPN to access a site, which defeats the purpose, IMO.

One good thing about AirVPN is that they have sales often. But I would try a week now before committing. Reliability has been top notch and they have a lot of servers.

Edit: I use port forwarding for bittorrent and it was easy to set up. You log in on their website and choose a port to forward for your account. I'm honestly a novice at networking and I figured it out using these instructions.

A US state has already subpoenaed Facebook for Messenger texts to prove an abortion case. It's not speculative.

It's very irregular for a country to take back top level domains. Even refusing to renew registrations is unheard of.

ML, tk, etc broke ground by offering free country code TLDs starting 10 years ago. This was possible until Meta sued Freenom this year for issuing domains to the majority of all sources phishing traffic.

Basically, the internet got used to getting TLDs for free, and that was great, except the issuers of said domains (African countries with not a lot of money) have no obligation and no incentive to keep doing that forever. Especially after it became a liability.

Short answer: no, they were owned by a Chinese company and then were recently spun off into an independent company. Here is the latest news on management.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

Firefox has multi-account containers and chrome does not. That (mozilla-created) extension is their killer app for me.

I made a pourover with a v60 today with only 10g of coffee and a 1:15 ratio. It was the same grind size, ratio, and roast as a coffee I made a few days prior, but that one was 20g of coffee. The larger pour over I felt was balanced, having some fruity and manageable acid flavor, but this one was sour and a little bitter (which would indicate over-extracted?). And at one point, the flow slowed to a crawl and I just stopped letting it drip at about 15g water left in the cone.

Does anyone have advice for smaller dose pour overs? How should I adjust the grind size and/or ratio compared to a more standard, larger dose pour?
