"Border Crisis" is code for "too many brown people that don't speak English".

I got strept throat twice last season and both times went to the ER. I'm masking from like October to February.

That's one way to basically ensure the US never imposes pay caps on executives.

The precedent was the Citizens United ruling. This is just a case in point.

Other than the low chance of you being targeted I would say only expose your services through something like Wireguard. Other than the port being open attackers won't know what it's for. Wireguard doesn't respond if you don't immediately authenticate.

There's a little overlap with things like Terraform but it's not as bad as if they bought the companies that owned Chef or Puppet.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer , 1 day ago to politics in Supreme court declines to take up case alleging voter discrimination in Georgia: Public service commission, which regulates & sets rates for utilities, accused of disenfranchising Black voters

From the article:

The commission has five members, each elected to represent one of five districts in Georgia. But elections for each seat are decided in a statewide vote; though the commissioners must live in the district they represent, a voter in Savannah or Augusta has as much say over the commissioner representing Atlanta as a voter who lives there.

Yeah, that's a lot of bullshit.

They'll just agree with the lie that our country was founded on Judeo-Christian values and anything Christian is simply embracing our history.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer , 2 days ago to Selfhosted in Alternatives to Hashicorp Vault?

Can't believe that's gone through. They took JBoss when they bought RedHat so now it doesn't have to compete with Websphere and when they bought HashiCorp Openshift doesn't have to compete with Nomad. At this rate they'll buy CyberArk and then that's no more competition with Vault.

That whole "it only applies to Congress" angle is malarkey.

303 Creative v. Elenis: The 1st Amendment bars Colorado from forcing businesses to provide service that goes against their religious beliefs.

Shurtleff v. City of Boston: The City of Boston could not reject flying a Christian flag when it had open many other groups to fly different flags for various occasions.

Kennedy v. Bremerton School District: A school board wrongfully terminated a coach for praying on the field.

These are all recent cases too. Of course, that doesn't mean they won't find some different bullshit reason to say this is fine.

That system needs major reform. You want tax exemptions? Then the lowest paid employee needs to earn 1/15th of the highest paid employee and the median salary needs to be 1/10th of the highest paid.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer , 3 days ago to Texas in 8,000 seat TX church attendance after lead pastor (Trump's spiritual advisor) busted for pedophilia

On the first point I had a thought about this the other day. My grandma told me we're supposed to wear "our best" to church and someone wearing jeans would wind her up big time. Then I thought, "Uh, none of these clothes existed when Jesus was alive. If anything we should wear tunics."

BrianTheeBiscuiteer , 3 days ago to politics in Kyle Rittenhouse’s family: We’re his collateral damage

Murder implies not only an intent to kill without justification or excuse. As piss poor as his excuse was, a teenager from another state trying to protect a strangers property, he still only shot at the very last moment. He's a complete idiot and I believe guilty of manslaughter, but not murder.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer , 3 days ago to politics in Gov. Burgum defends claims that US is a ‘dictatorship’ under Biden | CNN Politics

So Biden tried to use his execute power to forgive student loans, the SCOTUS shot it down, so now he's invoking a different law for the same ends which could still potentially be struck down. Yeah, classic dictator behavior: do whatever you want to long as your judicial system approves it. And if he was being a "dictator" on border policy (i.e. violating law) then that sounds like a great reason to impeach instead of, "His family is shady."
