And not even those whose ancestors fell victim to Nazis are immune to becoming Nazis.
It’s a horrible sort of history repeating itself.

Make an educated guess.
Capitol rioters already proved they don’t care about the law.
Undocumented immigrants do care, because they don’t want to attract attention.
I know whom to bet on.

The council might be afraid of getting sued after the Cybertruck turns into a Corrosiontruck instantly after getting into contact with the salt.

Conservative is a misnomer used for propaganda purposes.
After all conservative aren’t really in the game of conserving.

Lol, thank you for educating us.

Awesome!
For those without functional clients (credits to user floo:

I was shooting heroin and reading “The Fountainhead” in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief.

“Bad news, detective. We got a situation.”

“What? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?”

“Worse. Somebody just stole four hundred and forty-seven million dollars’ worth of bitcoins.”

The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm. “What kind of monster would do something like that? Bitcoins are the ultimate currency: virtual, anonymous, stateless. They represent true economic freedom, not subject to arbitrary manipulation by any government. Do we have any leads?”

“Not yet. But mark my words: we’re going to figure out who did this and we’re going to take them down … provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so.”

“Easy, chief,” I said. “Any rate the market offers is, by definition, fair.” He laughed. “That’s why you’re the best I got, Lisowski. Now you get out there and find those bitcoins.”

“Don’t worry,” I said. “I’m on it.”

I put a quarter in the siren. Ten minutes later, I was on the scene. It was a normal office building, strangled on all sides by public sidewalks. I hopped over them and went inside.

“Home Depot™ Presents the Police!®” I said, flashing my badge and my gun and a small picture of Ron Paul. “Nobody move unless you want to!” They didn’t.

“Now, which one of you punks is going to pay me to investigate this crime?” No one spoke up.

“Come on,” I said. “Don’t you all understand that the protection of private property is the foundation of all personal liberty?”

It didn’t seem like they did.

“Seriously, guys. Without a strong economic motivator, I’m just going to stand here and not solve this case. Cash is fine, but I prefer being paid in gold bullion or autographed Penn Jillette posters.”

Nothing. These people were stonewalling me. It almost seemed like they didn’t care that a fortune in computer money invented to buy drugs was missing.

I figured I could wait them out. I lit several cigarettes indoors. A pregnant lady coughed, and I told her that secondhand smoke is a myth. Just then, a man in glasses made a break for it.

“Subway™ Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!®” I yelled.

Too late. He was already out the front door. I went after him.

“Stop right there!” I yelled as I ran. He was faster than me because I always try to avoid stepping on public sidewalks. Our country needs a private-sidewalk voucher system, but, thanks to the incestuous interplay between our corrupt federal government and the public-sidewalk lobby, it will never happen.

I was losing him. “Listen, I’ll pay you to stop!” I yelled. “What would you consider an appropriate price point for stopping? I’ll offer you a thirteenth of an ounce of gold and a gently worn ‘Bob Barr ‘08’ extra-large long-sleeved men’s T-shirt!”

He turned. In his hand was a revolver that the Constitution said he had every right to own. He fired at me and missed. I pulled my own gun, put a quarter in it, and fired back. The bullet lodged in a U.S.P.S. mailbox less than a foot from his head. I shot the mailbox again, on purpose.

“All right, all right!” the man yelled, throwing down his weapon. “I give up, cop! I confess: I took the bitcoins.”

“Why’d you do it?” I asked, as I slapped a pair of Oikos™ Greek Yogurt Presents Handcuffs® on the guy.

“Because I was afraid.”

“Afraid?”

“Afraid of an economic future free from the pernicious meddling of central bankers,” he said. “I’m a central banker.”

I wanted to coldcock the guy. Years ago, a central banker killed my partner. Instead, I shook my head.

“Let this be a message to all your central-banker friends out on the street,” I said. “No matter how many bitcoins you steal, you’ll never take away the dream of an open society based on the principles of personal and economic freedom.”

He nodded, because he knew I was right. Then he swiped his credit card to pay me for arresting him.

Thank you!

This is nitpicking, but aren’t Roman numerals usually written in capital letters?
Did you use lower case letters to avoid confusion between ‘I’ and ‘l’?

Everyone living (on the whole earth!) has ancestors from there, right!

Not that I’d be aware of, sorry.
But maybe someone else can point us into the right direction.

Next time trying to get a photo from below the cap to should help identifying the mushroom.
It allows to differentiate between gilled fungus and bolete and on top the shape and colour of the cap’s lower side can give hints as well.

And I appreciate your non-dogmatic point of view as you hit the nail on the head - having a vegan diet 7 days of the week for sure has a bigger (positive) impact on the world than having a vegan diet on 5 or 6 days.
But even 1 day a week is better than 0 days.
We mustn’t allow ‘perfect’ being the enemy of ‘good’.

Hi there,
I just wanted to stop by and say it was a pleasure to read your story.
Well done!

Is antimatter a liquid?

Yes, it’s small, runs at a few watts and is silent.
The Celeron J4105 and Pentium J5005 CPUs in the Wyse 5070 are very close to each other both regarding energy and computing power.
Have a look here: https://www.cpu-monkey.com/de/compare_cpu-intel_celeron_j4105-vs-intel_pentium_silver_j5005
I would take either.
You’ll have a hard time finding another silent box with such a small footprint that’s able to take 2 gumstick drives - even if one of them needs some tinkering - and 32 GB RAM.

You could try to get a used Dell Wyse 5070.
If you pick the right dual ranked RAM modules (e.g. Patriot PSD416G26662S), you can have a max. of 2x16 GB.
There’s a slot for SATA SSDs onboard and with the right adapter (PCIe A/E key -> M key) you can plug an NVME SSD in the WiFi PCIe slot, which gives plenty room for storage and even allow for a disk mirror setup.
All that is very well within your budget and quite a beast that once was meant to be just a thin client.

I believe you’re right, but that doesn’t solve the problem of making routine full backups, which would come in handy if the device gets lost or breaks.
One can hope future versions of Seedvault care less about what apps want.

I’m being bugged by Seedvault caring for apps that have a ‘don’t backup app data’ flag.
I could live with that being a default setting, which can be manually overwritten in the Seedvault settings for these apps.
Apps not allowing (in case of Seedvault: encrypted) full backups while offering no or bad built-in backups is just cumbersome when trying to have current backups.
