"Surrey Pride founder Stephen Ireland charged with .." and I already said child sex crimes before I even finished reading. And yep, that's exactly what it was..

Even if you just grant that price increases are solely due to greed (which is not true), then laws like this still don't make sense.

Just make a law about what % you are allowed to profit on goods and services. Price fixing only makes people go out of business and then the community has nothing. (Not advocating for any laws like that, just pointing out that would be more sensible than price fixing)

Either that, or a journalist with actual journalistic integrity. Not sure which one is more rare..

I know exactly what you're talking about, but all the videos I've seen on it were audio only. I do wonder if whoever was filming turned their camera in another direction or something... I did see some other videos where the shots all sounded the same (and saw the actual video, and the camera didn't turn away)

But the FBI and USSS are definitely hiding things, there is no doubt in my mind they were involved or somehow facilitated this.

If this is real, and "German authorities" have issued an arrest warrant, then you can be sure this is NOT the one responsible.

SSNs have been misused for a long time. It is not a secret number, and should never be used to vet or identify someone. I've worked at too many companies that use SSN as a unique identifier and assume it's secret. It's not!

I heard "Ignorance of the law is no excuse" my entire life. Must have just been some platitude that doesn't apply if you're high up on the oppression hierarchy..

Is Grok not an LLM? How would it possibly know the internals of twitter?

My initial thought was "Isn't there just a road there? Why would traffic on public roads seem suspicious?"

However, taking a close look at the map, you can see the road to the water tower is a dead-end. (Google Maps)

So you would only expect traffic there for a wrong turn, or someone actually going to the water tower.

If I were cheating under these rules, and had access to the counting machines and the code running on them, then:

I would program a certain count pattern, essentially like a code, when the counting machine encounters that very specific pattern, then it would start to count differently. (The pattern would need to be long enough that you wouldn't run into it by chance alone)

Whenever a new batch was being counted, if it did not have that pattern at the, it would revert back to normal counting.

Then you'd just need people on the inside that batch ballots and hand them off to the counters, have those people order ballots for the specific pattern and voila. (Which might be the same person)

Ballot counting machines should only ever be used in conjunction with hand counting, used purely as a sanity check. If at any time both counts don't match, then you know something is wrong.

That's still no excuse. Even a lay person could see the glaringly obvious security issues at that rally!

I don't know a single person from my entire life that ever got a black eye that was not from a fist fight (and even that number I can count on 1 hand)

Because Christian-bashing is in fashion at the moment..

Not to mention that is literally their job and only purpose in being there

How does outsourcing to foreign companies fly in court? I mean in this case, I guess it wouldn't matter, but this can't be the only time the FIB does this

Security questions make the site less secure. If you're forced to use them, then use them as a secondary password, don't actually answer the questions

And how much comes over the border unseized? They wouldn't keep sending it if nothing was getting through. We need the army to just decimate and take out the cartels, and get this problem resolved once and for all

If that's true, then it pretty easy to reverse that by actually having a vote on who the dem nominee should be.. but everyone on that side seems fine with being told who the nominee is

It boggles the mind, how someone like me (i.e zero experience or knowledge about securing events), can come up with a waaay better security strategy and plan than what was executed on that day.

They need to stop letting them hide behind incompetence, and get some real investigators in there.

I could see it making sense with a couple scenarios:

• Maduro works with the cartels, and just like you might work with people you hate and would want them to be replaced, the cartels are the same. (And are confident they can get the new guy to play ball, or he already does)
• The leader is not involved with the cartels at all, and the cartels actually just want better conditions to perform their illegal activities under.

You can get earlobe restoration surgery: Example

You can clearly see some sort of scar in that exact spot of the shooter's ear

On reconsidering, I guess it could makes sense. If government actors are in on it, it would be foolish to believe every single person there would be in on it. So surreptitiously planting casings would be a good idea so you don't get whistleblowers coming forward saying they saw no casings

I'd assume they were able to recover bullets, and you could tell if it was his gun or not that fired them based on ballistics.. so planting casings makes no sense unless the the investigators are in on it.. in which case why even bother planting casings?

Strange how all these mistakes only ever happen in one direction

As opposed to what?! If they did, then they'd say "Oh shucks, yep you got us"
