Yep well considering the US leadership is basically following 1930s Germany as a guide.

The exact reason the ICC was formed. Yeah objections are to be expected.

Pretty sure some guy gets paid to play Thor.

Yep, My prediction was more the idea of a first try. Cash and run is normally the type of criminal more willing to try with less planning, etc.

To work with machinery needs both the ability to move it in a way cops won’t notice. So take minimal organisation. Cops confronted with an assumed ICE agent taking expensive machinery are much more likely to draw their own gun then accept it’s a ICE agent.

Stuff small enough to fit in a white van like generators or tools, though. Yep, would just look like immigrants are being removed.

Heck, could even kidnap Musk that way and likely get away with it with a little thought.

I am in no way recommending anyone start kidnapping billionaires to help defund trump. (Nudge nudge). Nope you should not do that (very obvious unsubtle wink) .

Im guessing it will be a few months at the most.

Before, some groups uses this to commit/escape from crime.

Likely to be small scale cash attack on some small cash only but very public business. Dressing like this and confusing local police into inaction. While they bully and cause fear. Someone empties the cash and runs.

Heck, it may already be happening.

Only if he has been using it to smash windows.

As far as I can tell. He just uses people who annoy him.

Yeah. Or at least your willingness to take the risk.

It can be fun making a set amount of money last as long as poss. When your recognise the fact you will lose. Given it means (at least in the 90 when I last did it) free drinks and once a free room. My ex and I had a good night for about $200.

As much as I hate the idea the US is a teacher to anyone. Given it’s own crappy history. Not that any successful nation really has a right to that claim.

Can’t disagree with the sentiments here.

Unfortunatly he sees no comedy in that.

My neighbour nations keep asking to join your defence treaty. How dare you encourage them to want to defend against me.

Parts of my nation left my predecessors. How fucking dare you stop me forcing them back.

You don’t agree. Wow that window looks badly maintained.

Agreed. But that strategy did not start until very recently.

Warnings have been used for 40 plus years alone. With very little effect.

Warning have been on tobacco most of my life. I’m 53 and remember them as a teen ager.

Also remember no one really paying any attention. Banning advertising had the largest effect. As it was clear warning while companies could still advertise made no sense.

Then banning display in stores. Finally banning children born after a set date.

In no way we’re the warning the main cause of the drip in use.

who needs a fuckin’ hypothesis

everyone. Its how theories are formed,

but yes science journalism is shitty and intentionally fails,0 to indicate the difference between an idea, hypothesis and theory. Just to gain clicks.

Not to mention.

approved plans for an assault on Iran pending a final decision.

It is not exactly a smoking gun. The US gov has its military advisors formulates plans for every option as a matter of course.

ATM the boat is being rebuilt inside. Replacing everything.

So the system is in bits. Hidden in the engine bay.

I have old pics of the boat before we regilt all the electrics etc. if it’s the shape etc your interested in.

If your a Brit who knows the canals. Think small sprinter but with a flat hull. It’s not actually a springer but same steel standards etc.

Israel likely agrees. Not like that though.

Yep that can work. But ignores all the well documented and supported development community comments I pointed to while also indicating other options exist.

As for.

Turning some switches on and off while monitoring input values doesn’t sound very computationally intensive.

You realise IO wise that describes your keyboard and mouse interaction on the most powerful gaming PCs.

It’s what you do with the results that matters.

GPIO supports a fair bit more then the on and off input and output. It’s slow compared to other systems. But has multiple serial protocols of differing types. Simple GUI displays can also be run via gpio connections. Low Res Lidar devices are available connected via the spi connections with all the data processed on that host PC.

So no gpio use can require all levels of processing power post connection. It is after all designed for experimentation and prototyping.

For my project. You clost to correct. I just use a simple GUI displays with xorg. So a pie 0 is plenty. And way lower power then the other options. It links to a pwm controller to power 2 12v 200w water tank heaters a relay for a 750w AC heater. Bluetooth connection to a BMS and solar MPPT. While operating multiple temp sensors measuring at different levels. And warning of legionaries risk. If the tank has not been over 65c in 14 days (actually 10 days but I’m over careful given the health status of my brother and I).

So much less then the tiny Pie 0 would not be able to cope but mainly due to the need for the vision impaired interface. Speaking functions dose not take much. But doing so without being unusably slow is about the limit of a pie 0.

Worth noting pie 4 and 5 no longer recommend 5w PSU. And tend to fail if anything is drawing on the USB.

Not simple to remove. They can all be taken out.

But the fire risk is a very valid point. All laptops should indicate they should not be left alone when charging. While many do. Setting one up in a unobserved location to run permanently should be batteryless or Lifepo4 adapted. So laptops may not be best suited to this environment. A used thin client or other DC input option may be much easier. Or an old desktop if batts and not wanted.

Add use of gpio to reasons to use pie.

While gpio adaptors are available for pc. The software architecture is not as well rounded and documented.

So for any complex hardware project development. Gpio based SBCs are often essential.

So space, low power and gpio development.

Otherwise yep old laptop or even desktop can be cheaper and more able.

But overall. The wide software support and documentation for hardware connectivity is a bloody good reason to keep pie supported.

I’m setting 2 up to control the hot water and solar dump system on my shared little boat. As I want to link 12v Lifepo4 batt charging with the solar dump and visually impaired control for AC and diesel heating of the water.

Pies really are the best option to play with. While low power and easy to design a unique low vision interface.

Also UK boat safty. Is issuing warning about permanently connected li ion batts on boats. So it is likely setting up a laptop to manage this while not on the boat. Will be banned in the near future.

Only an issue for UK boating but worth considering the risks of leaving laptops to run when not observed.

Tech support. Knowing you have available staff who understand how to fix issues. And will take responsibility

These are always the questions that sell commercial software over os to big corporations.

Anyone who has ever worked in a big corp recognises the arguments even if they disagree.

Also it’s deeply sexist

Ooi why. It is claimed both male and female would be required to serve.
