What's the point of these questions? Seems like, "what's the point of dissent if the cards are stacked against you?"

I would change that classification from "mere proposal" to "credible threat".

I'm honestly disappointed to see this flagged. What's the saying, "Even an SEO farm is right twice a day"?


Agreed. Bannon has substantial political influence, and they definitely know that. The parent's comments have a history of unnecessarily concern-trolling posts they don't like, instead of flagging them or moving on.

It's not deflection. They're just doing multiple evil things at the same time.

"Flood the zone"

What's happening on the media landscape is an enormous problem, highly manipulated and coordinated on the right-wing side. Flooding the zone is happening, among other things that weaken trust in journalism, weaken/defund/discourage investigative reporting, burying the lede information etc.

However, using the goon squad to illegally intimidate and disenfranchise voters is a problem large enough that calling it a would-be distraction from the Epstein files is doing everyone a disservice.

We have to pay attention to more than one thing. Saying <blank> is just a distraction from <blank-2>, means that you're too distracted by <blank-2> and need to step back and look around at all the other horrors.


The Project 2025 crew is so obvious about what they are doing, and the counter-measures seem to be along the lines of, "well, let's see how it goes."

Spoiler: ~50% of goals met in Trump's first year.


I did as well. I found a bug right away. If I use "units" the resulting calculations are reversed.

You have: 1 mile You want: kilometers * 1.609344 / 0.62137119

You have: 1 unit You want: 1.609344 units * 0.62137119 / 1.609344


The output format is weird. I recommend `units --one-line` (or `units -1` for short).

TigerDirect? Wow. How did I forget the first place I used and instantly maxxed a credit card? I would look through that catalog right now if I had it.


The Wikipedia page for Anna's archive was a lot more helpful leading people to the goods than the .org domain was.

Anna always knew the .org domain was vulnerable. Why wouldn't they?


Every pirate site operator knows you don't use .org because the registry is very happy to take down pirate sites without much evidence. It's surprising this one lasted this long.

Maybe I just will...


The image would have to be topical, and the sexual nature would have to be necessary (not-gratuitous) for it to be compliant with that CoC.

I'd be surprised if such an image can exist in an electronics forum because those parameters are pretty narrow. I also don't interpret policy as disallowing any form of joke.

I'm not about to go hunting, but I think I would find a good number of good non-offensive jokes, and probably no instances of sexual imagery.


The question was about Adafruit products on Sparkfun. This answer is about Teensies on Adafruit.
