It is very rare for the president to send the National Guard into a state without the governor's cooperation. The last time was when LBJ used it to protect pro civil rights protestors in Alabama.

Unfortunately, Trump's goal in LA is not so well-intentioned, it's to establish authority so ICE can continue disappearing citizens without due process. It is, for all intents and purposes of the word, an invasion. Thing is, if Newsom attempts to intervene, Trump would loooove to arrest him for treason. And if they do nothing, and protestors step aside, ICE will just continue disappearing people, moving state to state, pushing and pushing, further and further, hoping that someone gives him an excuse to escalate.

I feel like we're all saying the same thing: if you make peaceful revolution impossible, you make violent revolution inevitable. It's not about what's right or wrong, or what the public should or should not do; it's about which of those two options Trump himself has decided we're doing. And he has chosen....poorly.

as evidenced by his nazi salute earlier this year.

I would say the more compelling evidence is the fact that his entire family wealth is a direct result of Apartheid, and now that it has earned him literal richest man in the world status, he uses that status to go out in public and, without a hint of irony, say that white people in South Africa are victims of racism.

Cooperating with the law is often percieved as an act of defiance with this administration, though.

Side note: If part of your prep for an OS wipe involves making copies of critical information, I recommend re-evaluating your backup strategy. You should be able to lose any device at any time without warning, and not lose any data.

Every state should be involved in these lawsuits, especially the ones who pretend the civil war was about states rights.

iirc it was using Method 3 on this guide (but my efi path looks different).

Edit: oh, I also definitely used bcdedit /copy to clone the windows entry, and then edited the clone.

Steve Bannon, the one who has openly stated the strat is to "flood the zone," thereby rendering media coverage useless.

But of course this headline is important and we should all pay attention to it.

Unfortunately, the windows bootloader issues are also ingrained in UEFI for many motherboards. Every few days I start my PC up and it has decided my grub entry is garbage and does me the favor of removing it and defaulting back to the windows bootloader.

I've worked around this by adding a bootcfg entry to the windows bootloader that points at grub. Now any time this happens, I pick the grub entry from the windows bootloader, my PC reboots, and now it'll keep defaulting to grub again until the next time it decides to wipe it.

Well...there is one thing they have in common.

I'm responding to the literal words you said that were inaccurate. Cheers.

No external power (as in foreign govermment) is forcing South Koreans to have fewer kids

From what I can gather from South Koreans on the internet talking about the matter, there is a direct relationship between their country's capitulation to western hyper-capitalist expectations over the last 50+ years, and this phenomenon. And it wasn't like the US was hands-off when it came to picking winners in the Korean War; to a large extent, South Korea is the way it is because of US, do you think that's a relatively safe oversimplification to work from?

I was curious about a source on this. I believe I found the final bill here. Lawyers correct me if I'm wrong. But section 5 indeed has a slew of carveouts for basically everything you would want this bill to cover:

• emergency communications equipment
• medical devices
• motor vehicles or equipment
• life safety systems
• farm or agricultural equipment
• video game consoles
• solar panels or batteries (in hilariously generic yet vague wording: "power generation or storage equipment and certain products that store electrical energy and transmit the energy after storage; products that generate or store electrical energy from solar radiation;")
• and more

Lame.

It is not standard workflow in git to change the commit history for a branch on the remote. You have to use --force, and the next time someone pulls they also have to --force their any local tracking branch to follow the remote. Every git guide on the internet warns against pushing a rebase for this reason.

Locally you can do whatever. I'm not familiar with Mercurial, but I assume it must work the same as git: I can do whatever I want locally, and only what I push matters. And when I'm doing stupid stuff locally as I organize my changes, rebase is handy.

There's a fine line between what you're describing, and colonization. If we agree that the current set of korean families are not going to sustain the population themselves, and we agree that one way to preserve the population is to bring in transplants, then we're looking at a future South Korea that is primarily owned by people from other countries who had the resources to come in and take over. Which, "racial purity" aside, isn't great.

Apparently the much bigger issue is that their population curve is irrecoverable. There won't even be anyone to be racist in a few short decades.

Historically, that loop eventually pushes all forms of inequality to a local maxima, and then a war breaks out and inequality drops.

We could do it without the war part, but we won't. Maybe one day...

So,

1. OP is asking why month before day rather than day before month
2. In your example, it's not clear whether you are doing Y-M-D or Y-D-M, but I assume you are putting month before day, so we agree on that part. But
3. I think we're all in favor of: Most significant on the left -> Least significant on the right. I'm just arguing that, most if the time, for the most common uses, Month is most significant. It's just more common that you're looking at a list of dates that all span the next few months than a list of dates that are all within this month, or beyond a year.

regardless of the month, I think what matters first is to know what day of the month you are in

You're telling me that if you have a list of scheduled dates in the near future to meet with clients/patients/whatever, you first want them sorted by day, and then month?

So this list is the order you want to see these in?

• 4/5/25
• 8/7/25
• 15/6/25
• 16/5/25
• 23/6/25

Doesn't it make way more sense to see them sorted by month first, then day, so that they're actually in chronological order.

• 5/4/25
• 5/16/25
• 6/15/25
• 6/23/25
• 7/8/25

The only way you could defend the former listing is if you're also arguing that it makes sense to sort the list by the middle column, and hopefully we all agree that is just absurd. We don't alphabetize people by their middle names. You don't look up a word in the dictionary starting with the letter in the middle.

I jest, but I think this illustrates a real-life, commonplace example of when it makes sense. I agree that MM/DD/YYYY is not in order of magnitude, but I do believe it's in order of most significance to least significance given the timescales we are typically dealing with.

It's not pseudo-slavery, it's actual 100% legal slavery according to the words of the 13th Amendment of the US constitution.

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States
