Is it really worth your time to complain about fake internet points on a comment nested 4 deep?

Per local job created? As bad as they are for the environment, local folks are working there, stimulating the local economy for a much longer period than specialists flying in, spinning up a DC, then leaving for the next one.

I could be wrong, but (after all the appeals are said and done) I don't think this is going to happen under Trump.

> Now, when people introduce their "partner" in a context where it's ambiguous whether it's personal or business "partner" I have to wonder in which sense do they mean it.

You could use the power of the spoken word to ask them directly. You can ask probing questions if you’re not comfortable being that direct.

My wife has Stage 2(B?) triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Her treatment regiment includes Keytruda (pembrolizumab) once every 21 days. There was a full trial she was told about that is exploring using pembrolizumab entirely without chemo for TNBC. It's incredible that we might soon have at least one cancer that we might not need chemo to treat.

But the President can declare a person an enemy combstant, or have them arrested in the name of national security, and their private records are now inadmissible.

> Testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing such conduct may not be admitted as evidence at trial. Pp. 30-32.

| Proud boys was originally created out of the need to protect people from the likes of Antifa, which is a facist group.

Even Gavin McInness says you're wrong here.

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/06/the-secret-history-o...

| McInnes, an avid boozer, has consistently maintained that he started the Proud Boys as an outlet for harmless fun: an Animal House-style drinking club for male buddies.

https://web.archive.org/web/20190209020443/https://bedfordan...

| "It’s a men’s organization, sort of like the Odd Fellows,” McInnes explained. “It mirrors the Knights of Columbus in many ways”–another organization that he belongs to. Only in this case,the Proud Boys subscribe to an ideology of “anti racial guilt,” that, to me, seemed to evoke white pride.

| Actually, McInnes wouldn’t describe it in explicit terms like “white pride” or “white supremacy.”

| “Our motto is that, we’re Western Chauvinists who refuse to apologize for creating the modern world,” he said matter-of-factly. “That’s really the only tenet.”

If my house was the size of twelve Tesla Gigafactorys stacked on top of each other, every other door was locked, I could track your movements throughout the house, you had your own private door and couch to sleep on, and I was worth 3 trillion dollars, sure.

and it's pretty clean. You'll occasionally see the famous drone video from the 2021 eruption being touted as what's happening in Gridavik right now.

For fun, pretty much. 20 of them are Matrix related (synapse/dendrite, bridges, and bots), 16 for media services (Plex, audiobookshelf, etc), stuff for management/monitoring, stuff for Fediverse, etc.

Heh, Splunk is way overkill for what I need, but they have a free 10GB Dev license that you have to renew every 6 months, and building a custom COVID dashboard during the first few months of 2020 kept me sane. Here's my home/lab "prod":
