Why wouldn't they? Trump's border czar and Project 2025 contributor Tom Homan was literally an Obama pick to run ICE.

If nothing anyone does could possibly matter, what avenues are there to get rid of Citizens United?

In what way has this Taco truck charade been "effective"?

PJ, I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, you are the biggest dork I've ever found on the internet.

fellow LARPers on the back for successfully killing so many marginalized groups without interruption.

Ah yes, like the Arab and Muslim Americans in Dearborn who decided they wouldn't vote for a candidate who promised to kill their brothers and sisters in Lebanon with the utmost lethality. These people are the ones who are killing marginalized groups. Sure.

God, the sick and twisted knots libs can twist themselves into trying to explain how fascism takes rise. I give you 1 year before youre calling ICE on your Muslim and Arab "tankie" neighbors.

In 2 years, when ICE will be going door to door doing blatant curb stomps, pug Jesus is still going to be whining about tankies not voting for genocide, as he posts bizarre memes about the good old days of the Union beating the confederates. Absolutely bizarre.

The defeat of German Nazism was not a foregone conclusion. It was the Soviets behind 70% of Nazi casualties that defeated German Nazism - at tremendous cost I might add.

Fascism isn't some fad that inevitably falls out of fashion because people magically start seeing the contradictions, but a cancer that has to be militantly suppressed with utmost prejudice.

South Korea is an American vassal state. South Korea's military is fully under the control of the US military. I know of no other purportedly sovereign country with such a setup.

And after you leave a voicemail, the rep will task an intern with spending 15 minutes clearing out all messages.

Dog, you can't be lecturing people about their lack of understanding thermodynamics, and then mix up power and energy.

Melting ice takes a fuckton of energy.

The counter here is that oftentimes, snow melting systems like in the OP use waste heat that would otherwise get sent into the atmosphere or a lake. There is no power being generated specifically for melting snow. Using waste energy could be seen as a "free" way to melt the snow.

Piping existing waste heat underground into a system like this, when the road is uncovered for repair anyway, would make a lot of sense

They're already doing this in Holland, Michigan.

The waste heat comes from their power generation.

 

On my truenas scale machine, I have a container for gluetun and one for qbittorrent (among others). Maybe a couple times a week, I notice that the VPN connection gets flakey. Qbittorrent speeds go down into the kb/s range. This promps me to carry out an annoying, manual process:

  1. I pause all torrents in qbittorrent webui
  2. I stop both the qbit and gluetun containers
  3. I start the gluetun container
  4. I give the gluetun container adequate time to connect (since the qbit container depends on the gluetun network, attempting to start both at the same time yields an error on the qbit side)
  5. I start the qbit container
  6. I resume all torrents in the qbittorrent webui

Is there any easy way to automate this process? Preferably one that doesn't require me to learn ansible? I'm hoping the solution could all be done via portainer - which I use.

Thank you in advance.
