It's likely that much of this stuff is still running on Windows XP which doesn't even receive updates. But of course it's still exposed to the internet.

Americans also want to be able to use the roads for free, eat food and drink water that "somebody" has inspected to make sure it won't kill them, and have fire, police, and EMS show up quickly if they have an emergency. The c

As others in this thread point out, this is not nullification. Nullification is a different thing and grand juries cannot do it.

Grand juries seem to have become newly relevant recently. In a number of cases they have refused to indict Trump's perceived enemies and in one case they almost literally refused to indict a ham sandwich. https://www.politic

All of that is good except if you also have a lot of private repos at GH, you cannot move them to Codeberg.

If I bought this I might want a brake upgrade. Even though it probably provides only about 150W (I always assume ebike power ratings are inflated), the extra weight alone warrants disc brakes IMHO.

Cameras don't solve crimes, Flock or otherwise, unless the cops consider the crime serious. It is almost universal that cops don't consider bike theft serious. This is beginning to change in a few cities but not most.

The reason why is interesting. Since the test ban treaty of the early 1990s, the US can no longer test its nuclear weapons by exploding them. Thus they have to simulate them exploding, nanosecond by nanosecond, to be assured the bombs will

This makes no sense to me. The entire point of Schmitt triggers is to not switch back and forth constantly without a good reason. Something is missing from your explanation.
