A senior Secret Service official briefed on the planning for the Wisconsin rally said the agency was "never configured to provide such an elevated level of protection for an increasing number of protected." The official was granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

"Our personnel and equipment are being pushed to their limits to sustain the current operational tempo," the official said. "This proposed Wisconsin event also took place during the United Nations General Assembly, where the Secret Service is responsible for the safety and security of over 140 world leaders amid a challenged global threat level." 

Seems like a reasonable justification based on check notes literally everything happening right now.

Weird how OP's article misses out on this key piece of information. Might be a bit of bias there 🤔.

Now is probably the best time to try counterfeiting US bills.

I'm actually surprised at how benign this report is. It's all stuff we more or less already know. I wanted to see the couches.

Where is he, Patrick?

At the intersection of Conch and Coral.

That's where I am! He's right on top of me, but I can't see him!

What will these liberal doctors take away from us next. Before you know it, they are going to start telling us competitive paint huffing is somehow bad for you.

If it's 120VAC on the body of the Tesla, I would start by checking the wiring on that charger. The charger's ground is probably connected to hot. Otherwise, the 120VAC would flow though the ground pin on the charger ground pin, causing the current to spike, and throw the breaker.

Are split peas and chickpeas not beans?

Listen, if your name is associated with the "Klanline" phone number I don't think you care if people call you a racist online and post your home address.

This is 90s thinking. Why must terminal emulators only be text and only do things that a physical terminal could?

I keep trying to imagine what abandoning TTY interfaces in Linux would look like and I can't comprehend the rework that would be required. It's so fundamentally different.

For example, how would the SSH protocol work? How would that be compatible? Would we have to abandon SSH or always X forward?

There is definitely a pressure to extend beyond standard TTY. Tmux captures mouse action and has a window management system. fish shell has autocomplete. But both of these still use the same medium of text.

I may simply lack imagination.
