US Marshals report to the DOJ, which is part of the executive branch, all Trump needs to do is instruct the DOJ to stand down.

Probably some overlap but I have to assume people who have donated to his election coffers are also promoted to the top of his pick lists

The Atari 800 I had around 1985 or so, I was like 4 at the time, playing donkey Kong and an amber screen

Atari 800 so 6502 1.8 mhz 8k ram cartridge and 5 1/4 floppy. That was my first family computer, the first computer I bought with my own money was a dell T450 Pentium 3 450mhz and an ATI dedicated 3d accelerator card and a 19" Trinitron monitor that I loved to degauss for that satisfying bong noise

According to my high schooler this would be inaccurate, as in his school people would be on their phones, creating tiktoks, screaming across the room at each other and barely getting anything done. This does resemble my high school experience like 20 years ago lol

Similar happened to me as well, got sucker punched by my bully at the lockers in jr high, they tried to give me out of school suspension, which lasted for a day, my mom got me back in chewing out the principal

This news has me worried that Gaza will be the new camp for "undesirables" that we're struggling to deport. I sure hope I am wrong.

I resonate quite a bit with this, I just had to take a demotion because of a long term medical condition renders me unable to return to office 3 days a week. I was doing a great job as a Solutions Architect, but since they feel that the role is only good in person and not over technology I had to step down to a senior developer role. Hopefully I overcome this condition but it is lifelong but can be managed, but this feels like the first gate I've been hit with since starting to ascend as an IT Professional. RTO is dumb, especially with potential pandemics on the horizon. My wife is complete and total disabled and barely makes it out of our room, so I'm on the hook to bring home the money to keep everything running. It is frightening times in this shit show.

Actually it does, if one is objectively worse, then the other has to be at least the smallest percent better, that's just simple word comprehension.

Feel your pain there, my second and longest role was doing automated phone systems(IVR) and sadly Everytime I call another company I hear all of their fuckups

Yeah it's definitely been handy for me so I can see what game I should play next outside of the current meta of games

Oh definitely, really the UPS on my server only gives the server enough time to shut down services gracefully, and notify other systems when the battery of the UPS is almost dead, and then it shuts the other PC and itself off before battery hits critical. All told that's like 30 minutes at most
