Yup.

SSDs are not good for long term storage. “Old” disk drives are still king for long term.

Yeah but if society collapses or there’s some long power outage (sup Texas) then this thing could be worth its weight in gold. More than its weight in gold.

Assuming you have a generator.

I mean, I could make tacos at home. Or I could pay a bit more to go pick them up somewhere. I could change my own oil, or I could have someone else do it.

I could spend time downloading all this data and uploading it to a hard drive I purchase. I know how to do it all. But for the price they’re charging for the drive AND Raspberry Pi and the service of gathering and uploading the data, it’s not that bad of a deal. Especially if you work a full time job and want to use your free time to not do a chore like this. I mean I’m pretty sure there’s torrents for Wikipedia. Not so sure about WikiHow.

If the price was higher I’d be complaining. It’s pretty reasonable. It’s a peace of mind thing without hassle for anyone with even a little extra cash lying around.

What showed up on Jan 6 were a few thousand redneck losers, many of whom already had criminal convictions. What I’m talking about is something that will need to be larger than the Civil Rights march on DC in '63. Larger than the 2020 protests. What showed up on Jan 6 were dipshits who believed an election was stolen without a shred of evidence. If this fuck tries remaining after 2 terms there’s no guesswork involved. No BELIEF that something is wrong. You’re going to see something unlike anything this country has seen before that unites all liberals, all independents, a lot of people who never identified as anything before, and probably even a lot of conservatives who still have some sort of red line.

A president only getting 2 terms is one of those basic, foundational rules that is easy to understand. There’s lots of grey area in what Trump and his fascist enablers are doing, especially to stupid people. But even stupid people get the 2 term rule and can grasp why it matters.

Fascists aren’t people. They’re rabid animals whose hunger for power and control cannot be satiated.

Alternate Headline: Fascist Regime Attempts To Intimidate Federal Judges By Arresting And Releasing One

Fascism is here friends. Arm yourselves. Help arm others. Train. Help train others.

Not all fascists are Hitler.

As long as the ending remains the same…

His health isn’t going to make it.

Doesn’t matter. Then we get Vance and the same situation continues. The GOP apparatus is a fascist movement. It’s possible it dies with Dear Leader, but the next up to bat will most likely step in and not much will change.

Wish I shared your enthusiasm, but Americans have sleepwalked through everything so far. I don’t see that changing before it’s much too late. Only thing that saved Europe was the good guys swooping in. That ain’t happening in this scenario. We have to save ourselves and I don’t see it happening.

Longest lasting representative democracy in history, ended by a felon rapist, while a solid chunk of the country cheered.

Truly a weak, pathetic, stupid, shameful country.

In case anyone is still unsure, he is not willingly leaving in 2028. Everything that’s happening indicates he is setting up a path for him to remain. One of two things are going to happen in our future.

1. We will need to march on DC in INSANE numbers and force him to leave with the threat of lethal force.

2. We will have to use lethal force to make him leave.

Only other possibility is he dies of natural causes before then. But then we get Vance and we’ll probably have to do the same thing. This isn’t just Trump. The entire GOP apparatus is a fascist movement. The only reason he didn’t do it last time is because he hadn’t set up the foundation for him to remain by doing things like, I don’t know, instructing the FBI to arrest federal judges who oppose him, which is a line we just crossed today.

Fascism is here. Arm yourselves. Help others arm themselves. Train. Help others train.

Mr. Rogers would be so ashamed of us. He tried so hard.

This wouldn’t be a problem if Americans learned how to be responsible citizens and vote responsibly.

At this point, voting responsibly means not voting for felon rapist traitors.

So pretty low bar.

Trump: I hate brown people and want them out of this country.

Hispanics: You’ve got my vote!!!

Trump: deports their family and friends

Hispanics: He meant THOSE brown people?

If only Trump had spent an entire lifetime proving he’s a failed businessman who turns everything he touches to shit so we could have known this would happen.

Why oh why weren’t there any red flags to give us a heads up?

That’ll cover the cost of a child for a whole month.

TRAITOR

Plain and simple.

I always figured America THE BRAVE would handle a traitor swiftly and with extreme prejudice. Turns out we’re a bunch of weaklings who let traitors walk all over us.

I rapid-fire solve technical problems all day.

I also place orders. But that’s the easy stuff.

Dipshit immigrant buys a presidency and then cries about “paid” protests.

Loooooooooser.
