  • Not of age, I got through the “draft period” during GWB. The US probably won’t have a draft, mainly because we have a sizeable “volunteer” military.

    However, if I was drafted, I would talk to my draft board about how I’ve read books about fragging, and how all I can think about is how powerful that is, for one man with one weapon on the inside to destroy or disrupt the chain of command. Then do your best Private Pyle “Seven Six Two millimeter. Full Metal jacket!” imitation. The military doesn’t care about sending untrained and unqualified conscripts into an active war, but I doubt they will take someone who seems to have uncontrollable fantasies about shooting their own officer.






  • Hypothetically, near instantly. Realistically, I don’t think someone is going to bother to triangulate a random burst in the 2.4 and 5ghz bands, but someone logging radio traffic for shits and giggles would certainly notice 5-10 minutes bursts of noise early in the mornings saturating the band (you’d need to do the whole band as modern WiFi will channel hop for the best signal).


  • Sure, but if you genuinely believe this, then you need to be in the streets, breaking the law, and overthrowing the establishment. I’ve got mad respect for people who are willing to do that. I’ve got respect for people who are willing to vote to keep trump and other far right fascists out of power. I’ve got no respect for someone who doesn’t vote, or votes 3rd party when literally everything is on the line, and then grandstands about it on the internet like they are fucking hero. Those morons risked everything for a chance to gain nothing, and the rest of us are stuck with the results of their 20 IQ bet.









  • Still on Mint. Haven’t needed to load my windows drive up in weeks. My non-tech enthusiast partner is coming around to trying Linux after seeing what a shitshow 11 is on her work computer. It would be great to get her to switch over before my 140 dollar bill for Office 365 needs to be renewed.

    I’ve also got some other family members who are interested in trying it out, which is really saying something for a group of people who got started with Win 95, and are very proficient and comfortable in Microsoft’s ecosystem.
