 Having elections on days that are symbols of freedom. They are just messing with us now.

 I used to wonder how someone like Hitler could get elected. This is how. I don't wonder any more. I am so disappointed in most of the Americans I talk to.

 I can't even imagine being so much of a sycophant for one of those crooks that you would volunteer to go out and talk to people like me.

 Handgun and boxers only is a personal favorite way to answer the door for strangers. Unfortunately today I was dressed when they arrived. 
 If you are planning to come onto someone's posted private property and refuse to leave, shouldn't you know if you are in a castle doctrine state? 
 Ding dong

Me before they can even say a word: I'm not interested
Them: I'm actually here to see your wife
Me: She's not interested either.
Them: I just wanted to make sure she knows where to go to vote.
Me: Is a random stranger on our front porch really a reliable place we should source that information?
Them: Ok I'll leave.
Me: Good.

 If you run aliases for email you can shut off the address you gave them. That way they can't just switch domains and email you again. 
 I would count that like the restaurants that had signs up blaming covid for staffing issues, slow order times, and rising prices. 

Sure thing you should just leave because the place sucks. The owner likes to blame everyone but their decisions for their businesses issues.

Good restaurants kept staff just fine and just silently raised prices as needed knowing that the market would continue to demand a quality product. 
 I won't be impressed by how enlightened they are until we confirm that the solution they present isn't more government. More likely, that is the purpose of this propaganda.

If their solution is get off the algo and ads, VPNs, adblockers, and pay online services with no advertising then we can be friends. Then I'll be impressed that a monster corp like netflix produced something truthful. 
 All physical ailments stem from unprocessed emotions.

 Damn dude. I think I managed around 1tb but I wasn't keeping score. Must be 4k tv series, it would take me all day just to queue 2tb of movies. 
 Oh look, dems supporting property damage over mean words. People who line up for this political bullshit always make fools of themselves.

Both parties to this incident proved themselves capable of really shitty behavior and they made the world a worse place that day.

Please give them a follow and a zap for their efforts.

A true amarchist knows that anarchy means a great responsibility for the individual and they stepped up to take on that responsibility.

 I too have ripped the pads off a circuit board because I didn't know to desolder with a hot air gun. It is a real bummer.

Circuit frames are expensive on a gamble that you might be able to fix it. Especially since you are the idiot who just ripped the pads off because you aren't that great at soldering. 
 Did you know they make pcie cards that hold NVMe drives? They are as cheap as $10 for x4 pcie lanes. 

I didn't know that. I'm happy I found out. Huge speed boost for my desktop that only has SATA on the motherboard for far cheaper than the motherboard, CPU, and RAM upgrade route. That will probably keep this old desktop kicking for years. 
 My mobo doesn't have any NVMe, which is why I was considering scrapping it. It does have lanes available for the pcie card and I bought a single drive card as I only need it for the OS on this machine. I'll live with spinning rust for the bulk storage, I want far too much space for my budget to put it all on flash.

I've been a drive speed junky since back when that meant WD Raptor 10k rpm sata drives. Very excited to get my desktop OS off of SATA. 
 I'm putting a single nvme drive on a pcie x4 card that has a single NVMe port and plugging it into an x4 slot, but that is a good point for others who may be copying me but with slightly different designs.

 If abortion is good, why do politicans keep calling it "reproductive health"?

Just say abortion ... 
 Abortion as a wedge issue is the monoparty picking its direction with some AB testing. Results are in. They have manufactured consent and will be expanding their power briefly.

Fiat currencies sort of work the exact same say a ponzi scheme sort of works. The population must go up or it collapses. 

So, they will force immigration or 0 abortions ever on us to that end. Then that won't be enough and they'll change it to completely open borders and no reproductive healthcare that reduces new babies count.

Note that they are already floating the idea of making reproductive healthcare that increases the odds of pregnancy free in the land of any common cold could bankrupt you.

I chose the language I chose because the issue and the real cause you are fighting for is some fiat statist bullshit that includes far more than abortions. Making it about abortion even though it is a small part of the cause and what is at risk is doing really well in manufacturing consent for more statist power and more slaves for their ponzi though. 
 This, exactly this. Guns, abortion and immigration are all great triggers to get the closet statists to out themselves.

This is why they are always top of the debates, great for manufacturing consent for more government power. They get the most population to line up and beg for a boot to lick. 
 You are one of the most anti state accounts around, what do you propose that doesn't require expansion of state and unreal levels of invasion of privacy? 
 I mean for the abortion issue specifically. Controlling it requires an unthinkable amount of state and loss of privacy.

Long before modern medicine they had solutions such as massive doses of vitamin C.

My point is, getting sucked into the abortion debate is getting sucked into statism. Your moral decisions for you and your sex partners are a completely separate issue and it is very easy for you to do the right thing. Anyone else following your rules is a different matter.

 This is a fundamental distinction we all need to pay more attention to. So much freedom protocol work without nearly the same level of interest in freedom networking.

 Electrical tape can be bought in 10 packs of the colors from the resistor color code. Easy wrap labeling of any numbers. 6 of the 10 are the rainbow in order and the other 4 are obvious dark to light so easy to learn if you don't already know it.

Great for labeling extension cords, antennas, and power bricks.

 I've been reading about agorism a bit lately. Seems like this attitude is their primary differentiator from anarchists. Anarchist can engage no further than the thought experiment level. Agorism requires action to move towards the ideal state, such as engaging in black markets. 
 There is plenty of room to take action carefully instead of trying to get caught. No one from either camp demands you be a martyr. 
 This is also an admission from the ECB that #bitcoin is eternal NGU technology.
