Well, the pantex plant is outside of Amarillo, TX. That probably isn't a comforting thought though.

How much of the Afghan blowback was actually an organic response? It seemed to me a good chunk of it was the NatSec Blob fueling a media shitstorm.

Obama did something like this once when the House GOP invited him to their retreat. They thought he would decline, but he showed up, took their questions for an hour, and basically owned them. I never saw anything like it in the US before, or after.

Well, stablecoins are moslty just t-bill wrappers at the moment. Not a lot of decoupling from the US in that regard.

Indictments need named individuals to indict. And the pseudonymity ICE has been operating under makes those identifications hard. There is some case law about making John Doe indictments when someone specific could be identified in the future (usually based on DNA), but IDK if that works here.

Ooh. I've been using cmus for years, but I still need to dig up the man page to do a lot of things. But this looks a lot less inscrutable.

This fits right in with the long tradition of crazy Broncos fandom. In the 90s, a woman rode a horse through downtown Denver wearing nothing but orange paint to get tickets to win a radio station contest for a pair of super bowl tickets. She won.

Okay ... Does anyone want to start a deadpool? I mean, I certainly hope it all goes smoothly and all these folks make it and the dastardly tax dodgers meet their due. But I really doubt all this build up is for nothing...

Stablecoins do get usage in places where inflation is very high & access to real dollars is tightly controlled or illegal. There certianly isn't $200B worth of usage for that & the legitimacy/morality of that usage (bypassing a country's capital controls) is questionable. But it exists.

It means moving from 1:1 to zone defense. And then there's all the basic logistics. You can get away with a small sedan with 2 kids. You need a minivan or a largre suv with 3.

I wonder if a bit of cryptography might help. Something that makes it easy to look up the owner of a particular gun. But very difficult to go the other direction of seeing what particular owners might have.

It's the long-term opportunity costs. And there isn't a credible way to compensate for those.

It was Idaho. The disctrict court ruled he couldn't be prosecuted. But on appeal the 9th circuit said he could. But by that point there was a new county prosecutor and he decided to drop the case.

This would probably have more of an impact in Eastern Washington where most of the Columbia's water is still coming down from Canada. Once the Snake river joins up, the dams downstream through the gorge have a lot more control.

It is precisely insiders like this that make these things terrible bets for nearly everyone. Unless you have inside info of your own, you have terrible odds.
