It’ll work without a valid provider or without a SIM at all. As long as it has battery and can pick up any network’s signal.

A few days ago, three Orions tried to mug me. Now, I want to be very clear about something. These pieces of garbage—they don’t know who they’re dealing with. I don’t know if they wanted money, or they wanted something more sexual. But it’s a lucky thing I had my pieces. So anyway, I started blasting

It doesn’t even involve drug smuggling. Like organized crime in the US, they’ve branched out into racketeering and extortion in otherwise legitimate industries. Tortillerias are also major targets of extortion rackets now in Mexico.

Free Speech Systems is out of bankruptcy court now, though. The Sandy Hook plaintiffs asked the court to either change the bankruptcy from a reorganization to a liquidation or dismiss the case. The judge concluded it was in the best interests of everyone involved to dismiss it and allow the SH plaintiffs to move forward in state courts towards collecting.

You could schedule it with cron. You usually don’t need to update the lists very often though, and you don’t want to either as you’re just wasting the bandwidth of the hosts of the lists, who aren’t making any money off hosting them.

More importantly it removes the federal bankruptcy protection for the company and allows the families to pursue execution of the judgments in state court.

To be fair, this was never really about making mifepristone illegal outright. It was mostly about the FDA rules that would allow by mail order without first consulting a doctor. Consulting a doctor for its other uses would allow it to be prescribed for them.

They need a case where mifepristone has caused any harm at all to the plaintiffs at the very least. That this case even got here is a testament to the insanity of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.

I think a lot of people are surprised by this, but I think it’s mostly 9-0 because it wasn’t really settled on any merits – these people just did not have standing to sue.

I’m pretty sure this came out of the 5th Circuit and I’d expect to see more rulings like this smacking the 5th Circuit down because it specifically has gone off the rails and started making insane rulings unsupported by any law or precedent.

While SCOTUS has made some questionable rulings in the last several years, they’re still going to punt in obvious situations where they can.

Worth noting that was also Sinclair. Over the years I’ve seen numerous right wing MAGA wackos try to use that as a demonstration of the mainstream media being corrupt unlike www.freedomeagleflag.ru or whatever. They don’t like when you point out it was Sinclair, a right wing junk outlet.

I know multiple people, several of them fine upstanding Republicans that have violated this same law by lying on this same form. Hell, one of them has done it repeatedly in order to straw purchase firearms for his son, a convicted felon.

Is it too late to abort Ron DeSantis?

I think it was something to do with the Fi-specific syncing of messages to the web version.

And yet Google still hasn’t rolled out RCS for Google Voice, and last I checked there was an issue with it and Google Fi as well. (It works but it precludes some advertised feature of Fi or something.)

I don’t even care if it’s opt-in. I don’t want dormant malware on my PC either.

To be clear. I actually like Windows 11. I don’t care about the general telemetry, though I disabled the typing data crap. Most of the things in the last few months about ads in Windows, about blocking apps, etc have been overblown and aren’t actually big problems in isolation. Even this is a little overblown right now as it requires an NPU which the vast majority of systems don’t have. But, this is just so tone-deaf and an obviously terrible idea that it needs to be put down hard.

I mean, technically Windows Hello also includes signing in with a PIN or passkey. It doesn’t require biometrics, although it does support them.

They’re trying to shift the party even further right to gobble up the Never Trump Republicans. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s a long term goal in order to further minimize the progressive agenda within the party. Pull enough conservatives into the party and you’d have one big party that’s right of center, a smaller fascist party, and an unorganized gaggle of progressives.

I also think it’s generally quite a stupid play that’s going to backfire on them and probably just empower the fascists.
