Plane will he checked inside out as the if plane if meant to be used as Air Force One. Then it must be heavily modified by the State Dept., the Air Force and Boeing.

So, no, if there are mics, then they will find them. Mics are not magical, stealth creatures and the State Dept. is not some mom and pop corner tech store.

Worth noting, this plane is about 13 years old. The two current planes that serve as Air Force One, as needed. began their role in 1990.

I did, and that was a while ago. However, I would say that it would depend on what your degree is on. I had to do a lot of writing so it was fine for 99.99% of the time.

At one point all my assignments were handed in PDF format. A practice that I still do today as a professional. If you must hand in via Word, you may have some issues unless you run MS-Office somewhere. As there is always the risk of minor formatting issues.

For those rare times, maybe use their library or comp. Lab.

It is literally being given to the US Air Force/Dept. Of Defence. Then it gets transfered to his Presidential Library. Nevertheless if it stays as Air Force One than whoever Dem president who wins after him gets to use it.

There is nothing more than partisan speculation that he could use it after he is done as Prez. Not fact.

Sure. But in many cases, people are just over sensitive because this type of BS is allowed. There would be no end since somehow, somewhere, someone will find the most mundane garbage to get offended by.

Some women get offended by the air conditioner.

I did not know that, thanks. The reason I use Tab Stash is because I can use my Nextcloud instance to move the tabs/bookmarks automatically. As for privacy reasons I do not use FF sync.

Moving a file seems like more work and more moving parts as I use multiple machines and different OS’es on the same machines.

Did anyone expect anything else?

I second this, although unfortunately, the average user is not very aware of it.

Quite true. Trudeau literally ran on voting reform and that is partly why he got elected, then once in power, realized that it actually benefited his political ambitions and then lied and bail on it, back in 2017.

Most Canadians and almost all Liberals that I have spoken to have forgotten this because they are too biased and fail to look at the party and their actions, objectively.

Just to prove that the Liberal party can be total hypocrites: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/01/justin-trudeau-abandons-voter-reform-canada

I wished people were more objective rather than merely vote due to political tribalism.

I wish. But no. :-(

It makes me happy to hear that you will find it useful.

Cheers!

Someone else stepped down yesterday and offered him his seat and he accepted.

So yeah, he lost but he is not out.

In fairness, winning by like 2.4% in Canada is hardly “booting” anyone to the curb, in a country which does not have a blatant binary on their political processes, like the USA, or Australia.

This is very true, I have learned of 1001 ways in which I can break my OS.

It all comes down to how “techie,” you are. If you want something safe, than Debian is fine. All you have to do is not use Debian Stable and use Debian Sid. There are also many other Debian based distros that are excellent for new comers. Many are likely to recommend you Mint, which is a fine distro for people how are new to Linux.

OpenSUSE is pretty good if you are into rolling releases. Fedora is excellent if you want to be building your own apps from source and know how to use the proper flags when building. However, if you want something that is a bit faster and simpler to use, then I would suggest something else.

If you want something independent and you say that you know your way around computers then either Arch or something Arch based, so you are not going full on KISS. In the end, it all comes down to how much of a DIY system do you want and much of a system you want to just work. Do you wan it be rock solid or with a higher chance of breakage.

Personally if you want to go pure, then go Debian Sid, it is a good mix of rock solid along with some newer packages and it is way more stable --statically speaking, or sort of-- than Ach. Again, this is anecdotal as you will have a number of people say that they had been on Arch for a while without any issues. So, people’s mileage may carry.

On one of my old machines, I have been testing Q4OS and Mabox, which are Debian based and Arch based respectably and they have been border line perfect for years. Q4OS uses KDE out of the box. Mabox uses Openbox, so it might not be something you are looking for. Both are very light on resources which you can use for running all the apps you want.

However if you have copious amounts of RAM and you want something a little more known, then check out Mint, or NixOS. The latter requires a bit of a learning curve but if you already work with computers, and have no issue reading documentation then you won’t find it difficult.

I will do my good deed of the month. You seem like a prime candidate for Tab Stash. Does the same but better than Tab Groups. Check it out. You might like it.

There is a fascinating documentary called The Lobby that goes undercover and exposes Israel’s extremely underhanded and insidious attempts to infiltrate and manipulate UK politics and goverment via funding NGOs and ‘grassroot’ groups.

Once it came it came out, Israel cried antisemitism, like they always do for every thing, real or not. Which lead to an almost 6 month investigation that proved the Doc to not only be Legit but also an awesome modern example of investigate reporting and journalism. But due to this delay many people never heard of it.

Once the Doc was vindicated, Israel did a sudden but fully expected 180° and apologised, then dropped the matter, as if it had never happened. Some people were recalled back to Israel, other lost their jobs or resigned, including at least one UK MP.

There is The Lobby II which deals with the same issues but in the US.

Not dirt. Most media I have seen, including social media go out of their way to obfuscate his story as to try to make him sound more like a saint. He has only had a one kid, with his wife who he married after he got her pregnant, it does not stop the media to claim that he is a father of 3. The other two kids are hers, from a previous marriage. Details matter. Or that he was arrested along with other ranking M13 members, hanging out with them, out of his own free will and agency. Apparently he even had a gang nickname, ‘Chele,’ which translates to “whitey” or “light skinned,” as per their source and that he had a M13 rank. The other two were well know criminals and gang members with one having an extensive criminal history. They were wearing visual queues to the “hear no evil, see no evil, say no evil” gang ‘motto’ of sorts. Which is part of their 0 snitch/or else, code.

The fourth guy was not M13 as far as the cops could ascertain. But in case you do not know, M13 members only hangout with other M13 members or prospect members, socially in this manner.

That part I only found once I got a hold of his arrest file, which described his arrest outside the parking lot of a Home Depot. They saw the cops coming. One of the M13 memberd was wanted in connection with a murder investigation. Never saw that reported on MSNBC or CNN at the beginning. How convinient. As details matter.

He seemed to be alright hanging out with them. He also had traffic violations where he said he failed to make the hearings because he didn’t know about them. Right. Despite he admitting in writing that he knew about them but decided to not do anything about them. He also stated that he was NOT scared of being sent back to El Salvador then.

That’s before the 2 domestic violence reports to his wife. I mean, as an illegal immigrant, how many Laws do you need to break before anyone says, enough is enough? Maybe if he went after his wife a 3rd time?

The point is that he only cared about anything only after he got arrested. Not even after he got his fiance at the time pregnant as she was already 5 months when the arrest happened. He has two brothers that tried to at least get legal status. He never bothered. I fail to see how that is the State’s or Trump’s or Biden’s fault, for that matter. His chances of asylum were highly unlikely because of his inaction from the get go. If the same thing had happened under Biden or Obama, this would likely not be in the news the way it has been.

I knew some gang members years ago, a couple of real and wanna be’s socially and a couple through social work and although the term ‘terrorist’ may be a bit weird, I do know that M13 has no have qualms killing people. They are connected to Mexican Cartels too, who have no qualms making videos of them behading or slicing people open while alive. I have seen seen some. I regretted it.

M13 would set fires to buses in plain daylight, after shooting a driver just to make a point, etc, etc. So, I am okay with M13 members being sent to CECOT. Horrible to say but there is no other fix, as El Salvador does not do capital punishment and the only people who claim that there is a contextual better way have no idea of what they are really talking about or of how bad it really was.

I agree that it is an edge case, but his only reasons for staying was a legally flimsy one that could have been removed at any time, and for any reasons under any administration, with very little feasible solution for him. It is feasible that he is being made an example. His only claim to stay was based on a judge feeling sorry for him, based on his own word but showing absolutely 0 solid proof to back it up, makes the ruling weak. Since at the same time he was literally hanging out with them, he was not fearful then, his claim only became a thing after he was caught, and not for almost a decade before. Weird, right? It is not kidnapping though, but it is also not fully Lawful, either. He just fucked up and his luck ran out and the Trump admin likely want to up their deportation stats with grey cases as he is extremely likely to get deported even if he is shipped back for a hearing. His brothers are not being deported and cannot be deported because they did something about it and did not run the clock.

Here is the record of his arrest. I can see why they likely cannot disclose the informant, as he may be in the gang himself and he will get butchered if he gets found out as one. Which sucks for everyone involved.

As far as CECOT, it is now up to El Salvador’s Goverment to release him either with pressure from the Feds or not. I read the Supreme Court’s ruling, despite what it is being quoted in the media, it is legally very toothless or vague in practice. Plus it states that the District Judge overstepped on some claims in one if its rulings.

However, it did side partly with him. The Trump admin will appeal. It might likely lose unless more info is made public. And from there, it goes back to the District Courts to make an actionable plan as to how they could try to get him back and get the Feds to comply. The Feds fucked themselves over due to jumping the gun, and putting forth the Legal implication that technically a person could be deported if he crosses the border and the courts do not get to address the issue in time before they do. That part is pretty stupid.

It is almost as if the Israelis are in control of the UK government.

The USA has been exploiting or extorting countries via denying access to their SWIFT system. On another note, read up on Operation Condor on how the USA has been fucking with, in this case Latin America for decades, and that was way after the Monroe Doctrine came into effect.

Blaming Trump for everything just because you dislike him is silly, and makes you sounds like one track, blind ideologue who does not read any history.

The USA has been doing this type of shit for centuries.
