At the expense of your credit score tanking and never being able to recover.

I recognize that, but even if they were to still somehow navigate the economic situation, the government officials would immediately be charged with sedition and a warrant would be issued for their arrest. They wouldn't be able to flee the country because any allied country would extradite them to the formal United States government. So the only other option would be to stay and forcefully defend their arrest. That brings in the national guard and any escalation would drive us toward a true civil war. MAYBE secession becomes so popular amongst the population that they also are willing to defend their secessionists political leaders with force, but I doubt it. Even in the event of it becoming a true civil war, the rest of the United States is absolutely massive. There'd be no way of defending against all of the avenues of attack. Air superiority would be established immediately by surrounding AFBs, mobile AA systems, and returning aircraft carriers. Naval blockade would prevent any foreign aid from reaching the West Coast. Lack of any real microchip processing plants would make the proliferation of modern arms impossible....

I just can't see any other outcome than those government leaders being arrested, replaced, then any secession being nullified and reversed by the newly installed government officials. Though if you are able to think of something, I'd be open to thinking of a potential rebuttal.

Yeah, it stopped the United States from breaking up before. What better case study than the exact same scenario. Just this time its a much much stronger union army against a much much poorer economic system for the seceding army.

Other countries would not supply the secessionists with any military equipment and they almost certainly wouldn't purchase any products from them either. International sanctions against the seceding states would end the "war" before it even began.

Seceding from the union is illegal. They would just arrest the organizers in the state government and replace them with acceptable politicians to bring them back in line.

Alito added that she has designed her own flag in her head, which she wants to have made and flown. It features the Italian word “vergogna,” which means shame.

No no no. You don't get to just use italian whenever you want to veil your shithead sense of self worth. You leave a romance language out of this and put that shit in plain English.

Climate change realists (people that have common sense) voting less than the average population is not something I expected. If anyone believes that climate change is real and isn't voting Democrat, you're the problem.

Climate change has become reality because of apathy. Not evil actors. They've always been the minority relying on inaction.

Of those 350 postcards, 330 were immediately thrown in the trash without being read.

Edit: Also 350 postcards with the proper postage would cost $185.50

Looks plenty fine to me. 🤷‍♂️

What if she's a double agent for the democratic party? An antifa plant meant to flip republican seats for the coming of the second anti-christ after Donald Trump defeated Hillary.

The replacement level birth rate is 2.1 children per woman. The US is at 1.6 but the yearly population growth rate is trending back up due to immigration. Worldwide the birth rate is still at 2.6. Experts estimate that the population will continue to increase up until 2060 before it will start to plateau or gently fall to a homeostasis.

Its not a problem. A consistent population is much easier to plan for financially and socially.

I'm trying to set up a Pi-hole on my in-laws' home network. I've got everything configured on the pi but ad-blocking wasn't working. So I did some digging into the logs and found that DNS requests were all coming from the router.

After some reading it seems that the DHCP server that the router used was adding a DNS suffix to all requests (search.charter), so I turned off the DHCP server on the router and used pi-hole's built-in DHCP to see if this would resolve the issue. I didn't have enough time to test the fix, but here's my understanding of what was happening before I changed the configuration:

I set the primary DNS server to the IP address of the pi-hole in the router settings so they would have network wide adblocking. All of the clients get a DHCP assigned DNS server address which was set to the router's address. I would input example.com into a client's browser, the DNS request would be sent to the router, then the router would act as a client in the pi-hole logs. Pi-hole tells the router that example.com is found at 192.158.1.38 and the ads being hosted on the website are at 0.0.0.0. The router sees that the DNS server didn't return a result for one of the queries, so it goes to an upstream DNS server hosted by the ISP where they provide the IP for the ad. Both addresses are sent along to the client device and the pi-hole shows the ad domain as being blocked.

Is that true? Did changing the DHCP server to the Pi-hole fix the problem? Is there anything more that I need to do? Did I totally whiff on troubleshooting? Let me know if you need more information. Any help would be appreciated since I'm trying to learn a little bit more about networking and take a little more control of my home network. Thanks!
