E4 No More

I work from home selling computer networking components to major businesses for the major computer company that rhymes with hell. My job has its stressors, but it's better than other jobs that I have worked. I will probably have to work here until I'm 72 thanks to the economy tanking under Obama.

I work from home but traffic still sucks for others.

I won't watch it. Carlson has never been my cup of tea. I get that he's trying to be some sort of a shock-jock, but I just can't listen to him. I do read his monologue once in awhile, but I have to sort the wheat from the chaff with him. That's a bit too tiring for me...and I'm not retired.

LOL! Brett Baier and Chris Wallace? ROTFFLMAO. Both have shown their liberal proclivities.

I absolutely HATED having to fire blanks. In the 80's it was the dirtiest crap you could fire out of my M-16A2. I preferred to just say "BANG!"

Thanks for your response. FWIW I was a LEO in Missouri.

Wouldn't the case be heard in either the sate of Illinois or the state in which the defendant committed the offense? I would also think that damages arise out of intangible things like his name and face being plastered all over the media causing him to lose appropriate income from jobs that reject him based on the reports. When I was a LEO I had a suspect accuse me of breaking his back. Much to my chagrin, the city settled the case out of court for $5,000 although the case was demonstrably false, (3rd party eye witnesses and changing story). I wanted to sue the lawyer and complainant and was told that I suffered no damages. A couple of years later I went to a seminar held by a lawyer who specialized in such cases. He told me that I certainly DID suffer damages pointing out that since the Chief of Police was not there then there's a little bit of doubt that could hold back promotion/raises. He also pointed out that it could follow me to other police departments as well.

Yep! And IIRC, that was one of the reasons he tried to get his sports memorabilia back. It was quite a bit of money.

As much as I hate to say it, filing federal charges for acts that violate federal law during the same incident is not double jeopardy. Recall the cops involved in Rodney King's case as an example.

He was not President at the time so I'd sue his ass first.

No, you sue everyone who defamed you by calling you a murderer, white supremacist, etc without being found guilty by a jury of your peers.

I bought a Rottweiler puppy many years ago when it was about 9 weeks old. That puppy did NOT like men. He was skiddish around me for awhile, but he got to the point that he would only show affection to me and not any other man. I can't imagine abusing a puppy enough in 9 weeks that it acted that way.

Or never knew. What is he infamous for?

I have been through about 3 smokers (including a Bradley) before I ended up getting my Traeger. I too do not like to spend my time babysitting a smoker, and the Traeger allowed me the freedom not to do that. The advantage of the pellet over the puck is that the hopper for the pellet holds a lot more wood to burn before refilling, and pellets are ubiquitous unlike the Bradley pucks.

An electric vehicle for me? Only when I have no other choice. I especially do not like the pitiful range that they have before you have to spend 10 hours recharging. I heard yesterday that Ford has come out with some new cables that'll charge you in 5 minutes, but it sounds like a very expensive cable.

I saw this in the Marine Corps. It's where I came to the realization that college doesn't make the person; it can only improve them some. It made it more aggravating that I had to take orders from them.

Well, for starters I'd buy a Canon to take really good pictures. I'd buy a cannon if I wanted an artillery piece.

For what it's worth, the Snowden release showed mostly complaints about the collection of metadata (data about data) of which the vast majority is NOT encrypted. You can glean a lot of information off of metadata as evidenced by the increasing use of data mining by companies.

I hear ya. I originally bought a .45 full-size and a compact 9mm. The .45 had the worst trigger that I've ever had. I learned from that one not to trust a salesman who shows you the display model and pulls another off the shelf to sell to you. I check the trigger first. The 9mm kept ejecting the magazine on its own. Apparently, it was a design flaw in the weapon as Smith sent me a new magazine release and it still kept ejecting the magazine while resting in the holster. I do like the 10mm. I have a Glock 20 that I like to shoot although all Glocks seem to irritate the side of my trigger finger.

Man! Some people around here sure like to put words in your mouth. To my knowledge only two people on this forum knows me by my face and screen name. Yes, I'm on a VPN with AES-256 encryption, which is top secret-level security, (not that the NSA/FBI can't crack that if they wanted to). I also know how to use anonymizers if I were to so choose. I can do all sorts of other things as well including other forms of encryption and using my own keys rather than a PKI service that is legally obligated to share your private keys with the government, (the latter is in regards to keeping private messages private). I will point out that I never made the statement that simply by hiding your name and location that you can't be found. But it DOES make it considerably harder to be found unless someone knows where to look. That is the main gist of what I wrote. I will also point out that the slightest entry into a computing device without the owner's permission or a search warrant violates at least two FEDERAL laws, (CFAA and Title 18 of U.S. code subsection 1030). Ya better have a search warrant/subpoena to do so. I don't see that happening unless someone rats me out to the prosecutor, or I'm dumb enough not to cryptoshred my hard drive after committing a crime.

I think my Master's degree in Cybersecurity says that I understand how it works. Also being a former LEO I understand that any prosecution could not get a blanket subpoena applicable to every forum server in the world. They'd have to know WHERE to look otherwise you are fishing for a specific fish in a lake of almost 8 billion fish. By anonymizing your screen name and location it makes it much harder unless you are dumb enough to tell them where to look.

That's one reason why I use a screen name that doesn't contain my name, and I do not post my location.

I remember those days. MY grandma made me a Batman T-shirt for my 5th birthday. I thought I was invincible when I was wearing it. I wasn't.

The trial is showing to many that it will end in an acquittal. So what does the mainstream media do? They are now attacking the judge. https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/11/us/kenosha-judge-bruce-schroeder-asian-food-comments/index.html https://apnews.com/article/kyle-rittenhouse-wisconsin-kenosha-homicide-0f514cc4c04762bf42cccb5f2473b76c https://www.npr.org/2021/11/04/1052485234/a-look-at-bruce-schroeder-the-judge-in-the-kyle-rittenhouse-trial
