Never heard it called the birch bitch.

Those are ones in captivity, for food.

God damnit.

Every browser I switched to since Firefox has been a good user experience, and then I find out some horrible bullshit.

Is there any safe browser that isn’t run by hateful assholes?

28 USC Sec. 566

(a)It is the primary role and mission of the United States Marshals Service to provide for the security and to obey, execute, and enforce all orders of the United States District Courts, the United States Courts of Appeals, the Court of International Trade, and the United States Tax Court, as provided by law.

(b) The United States marshal of each district is the marshal of the district court and of the court of appeals when sitting in that district, and of the Court of International Trade holding sessions in that district, and may, in the discretion of the respective courts, be required to attend any session of court.

©Except as otherwise provided by law or Rule of Procedure, the United States Marshals Service shall execute all lawful writs, process, and orders issued under the authority of the United States, and shall command all necessary assistance to execute its duties.

This codified the common law in the US.

The Court’s order to its district marshal is superior to any DoJ order. If the marshal won’t act, the Court can conpel them into court and hold them in contempt.

Courts (and marshals) can also deputize people to execute their orders. They can also hold others in contempt who contribute to orders not being followed…they can start seizing and freezing assets of Trump’s helpers; they can award money damages as sanctions, they can disbar attorneys. There’s a lot they can do. I hope the courts start playing hard ball with these lawless fucks.

Meanwhile best we can do in America is hide tracking dots in every color printer.

Walking Dead - People should get shot accidentally.

Everyone carries all the time. There are guns everywhere. I get it. Zombies. But where all the accidental shootings? That many guns around, someone has to be shooting themselves in the leg or accidentally blasting their spouse through the kitchen wall. But that stuff never happens in the entire series.

It’s not realistic.

You don’t keep your Sega Genesis in an oaken cask?

Bravo. Truly an exceptional meme.

Lifetime supply of honey for me is one fairly small jar, except that one time I had a weird craving for honey in the comb, so I ordered a square of it and ate it like a sandwich. I guess I saw bears doing it and thought it looked tasty.

It would be just as catastrophic as the last time this happened, when [REDACTED].

I like this joke.

Well, if anyone is seeing this, I decided to buy a Pi 5 and a case and we’re going to get some Linux variant running, and I’ll set him up with some browsing capability and some kid friendly apps.

I mean, short kids books. Dr. Suess and whatnot.

Shit, Minecraft is a great game for adults. I will follow up on some of these suggestions for sure.

Listen every kid is going to go at a different pace, and they’re going to follow their own interests. Right before covid lockdowns started, so he spent his formative years at home with Mom and Dad, who worked from home, and who are both highly educated with masters and doctorates, and you don’t get that kind of education without being able to teach. So he was around adult language constantly and had two parents that knew how to take complex subjects and boil it down to its most basic forms. Like one example of teaching him logical operators was with a little plug-in night light/ flashlight that he has in his room. He could figure out no problem what the circuit must include. A power source, a light sensor, and a three-way switch, and so he can understand that that light sensor was checking to see if there was light and if so it would stay off, else it would turn on. I did a big project over the summer with installing PVC piping into a raised garden beds and ended up with a ton of extra parts. Splitters and valves and what not. And with that I was able to teach him some of the more advanced operators, and, xor, and nor. Like We would plumb one pipe from the water source and then split it and then put a valve on each side and then connect them back so it had one outlet. And from that or with some other connectors you can teach basically all the operators and even binary. Plus we would read books with him every night, and still do, four or five books a night, and often we talk about the books to develop critical thinking. We also encouraged transcendental thought (tell your brain what to do, ask your brain what you should do), and abstract thought. There was one awesome book for abstract thought that I can’t remember the name of, but every page was like a picture of a tree but each leaf was a hand. And the text would say something like, “what if leaves were hands? Then the tree could climb you.” And for a while we would make up his own all the time. There’s also a series of books called like Astrophysics for Babies, Optical Physics for Babies, Relativity for Babies, so we would read those and combine them with little experiments we would do with my telescope or my big laser. Also spend a lot of time reading the dictionary and going through an encyclopedia, each written for kids, like “my first encyclopedia.” He’s been in Montessori school for a year now and has a wide range of interests; they teach meditation, yoga, karate, and all sorts of practical and life skills. Stuff I never even thought about at his age. It’s pretty cool. We know that every child will experience their own heartbreak and letdown, and will internalize things as trauma no matter what we do. I wish my brain was still soft and as hungry as a kid’s. They suck up whatever info you give them.

I like the idea of setting them up with his own profile so he has to log in and then Go through the steps of opening the browser and starting a game. Thanks for the reply…

Thanks for the reply. I got started with RTS pretty young. They just rereleased the Warcraft Battle Chest!

Looks pretty sweet. Steam on sale 80%. Got full. Game and all DLC for $2.58. Thanks for the tip.

I think he’s an actual Nazi, trying to turn America into a Nazi system.

I had a dream that he was at one of those low budget fundraisers where they serve ziti and chicken marsala, and he was seated across from me, and I got to yell at him. It was so satisfying.
