Something tells me maybe he doesn't actually have an IQ of 276.

Don't legitimate IQ tests top out at 160 for adults?

Do investors ever say "ok, time to panic"? Aren't they always just going to shill their bags? Why should we listen to them?

How are your responding to me making affirmative comments that there's judicial oversight if you havent read the bill?

It's in the article. I'm happy to read the bill and watch your linked video once my workday is over.

> There is judicial oversight, but only after the order is implemented

In the sense that you can sue to have the order challenged? How's this different than what Trump's doing, where the government does something illegal (or at least legally dubious), and there's "judicial oversight" because aggrieved parties can sue the government?

> Second, the bank accounts seized did not belong to protestors, as the leaders of that siege were convicted of mischief, two of which are being sentenced today.

Were the bank accounts seized before or after the conviction?

Before, of course. That was one of the justifications for invoking the emergency powers, and it wouldn't have been controversial otherwise. This is a digression, though, as there is no mention of any legislative changes to bank account seizures in the article.

Consider this scenario.

Your isp emails you that they are terminating your account.

You phone gets disconnected.

You call them and helpdesk doesnt have a clue why.

You try to sign up for new services and they refuse and wont say why.

All because a politician has decided it 'reasonable' to disconnect you from the internet; and he can order complete secrecy and there's no judicial oversight.

Perhaps you showed up at the wrong protest? Note how they seized the bank accounts of protestors and even an entire small bank only a few years ago.

While I agree with most of this and oppose this bill, your last two lines are a mischaracterization. There is judicial oversight, but only after the order is implemented. Second, the bank accounts seized did not belong to protestors, as the leaders of that siege were convicted of mischief, two of which are being sentenced today. In general, protests do not engage in torturing the local populace with 95db of air horn for 16 to 20 hours a day. The account seizure also required emergency powers.

Headline buries the lede, which is that the DOJ shut it down for being a "deep state" probe. Basically, officials working for this administration can now legally receive bribes.

I bought one of the Iocrest ones from Aliexpress so I didn't block my gpu's intake, with the AQC113 chip, and it worked perfectly right out of the box - much better than the Asus XG-C100C which made me configure it to get max 2.5gbps. I thought it was windows. Note it gets super hot (like 90°C even with the heatsink).

Forget about why would they - they can't get here. The speed of light is too slow. They can't even detect earth exists much less there is life (dinosaurs). detectable signals won't reach then for a long time if they even can reach them.

I would caution applying our current understanding and limitations onto alien civilizations. I don't believe they will break the light barrier, but they may develop telescopes that can detect life from light-years away, and the stupendous travel times are possible with suspended animation or by stopping the aging process.

We knew that Hegseth didn't understand (or didn't believe in) security. It's not surprising that Trump, who had highly classified documents laying around in Mar a Lago, doesn't either.

Years ago, I was in a classified meeting in a SCIF when someone's cell phone went off. The person was immediately escorted out of the room--probably their clearance was revoked, and they were told not to come back. Having a cell phone in a SCIF is bad enough, having it go off inside the SCIF is even worse--and answering it during a classified meeting (or just answering it inside a SCIF) is cause for trouble big.

I'm a bit surprised the entire thing isn't in a faraday cage.
