Well, they weren’t working anyway. China currently has full access to the US network with no ability to fix the situation beyond ensuring all content is encrypted and over LTE.
Only the president though, and I don’t see HIM wielding cans of mace and tear gas cannisters.
Which peers?
Bring back Zeddy!
Well, after a judge had married the first couple, you’d think it would get a bit awkward.
How many people can a judge legally marry, anyway?
I think the author has misunderstood what the phrase “it’s too bad” means when Trump says it.
“It’s too bad it isn’t me who owns that building” always meant he was going to do whatever it took to own the building, for example. It’s how he expresses his desire to have something at any cost.
Counterpoint to all of this:
Something I’ve noticed recently in the news is that ICE makes the headlines, and then when you dig down to the details, the real problem is often CBP or some other department that’s along for the ride. Difficult to tell, I’m sure, when everyone is masked and not wearing clear identification.
Just saying that abolishing ICE wouldn’t necessarily get rid of the problem, and I suspect that there’s still a chunk of ICE you never see because they’re actually doing the work they’re traditionally supposed to be doing.
The entire system needs to be fixed, not just abolishing one department that’s been co-opted as the poster boy for the abuse of the system.
Dutch Shell was the first chain I boycotted due to their practices in Africa.
Normally it’s the other way around—animals being frisky is just how they are, and children accept that. The difficulty is in explaining how adults can’t be frisky in public like dogs, and how it isn’t polite to talk about it either.
Great… I’d been going to Esso instead of Petro Canada because of this; now where do I go?
This frustrates me so much.
I paid for v1 and v2 of the suite precisely because I’m willing to pay for a tool that works for me, predictably and reliably and with no compromise in goals. Now I’ll have to switch platforms yet again, because they’re going to monetize somehow, and if it’s not by taking my money, it’ll be by taking something else.
Is Inkscape a reasonable replacement for Illustrator yet? Is there an equivalent for InDesign?
I don’t want to get stuck in a Canvas walled garden, and I’m not going to pay rent to use software.
