Yes and no. The Nationalist Christians have a big persecution fetish.

Gauge deez nuts, ICEatzgruppen

Holy fuck, guy, it’s not racism against Chinese people. It’s frustration and irritation against tourists that behave heinously. Those tourists unfortunately happen to be predominantly Chinese. But if Americans or Russians or Brazilians or Indians were doing it, we’d all be having the same reaction. Stop borrowing outrage.

Even if that is true, how is “I will shit in this random residential yard” a reasonable solution to that?

Ah yes, the warm-water port of Houston, in Texas oblast.

Yeah I’m running 16s and that’s pushing it imo

Holy fuck can you imagine how long it would take to re-stripe a failed drive in a z2 array 😭

The ICEatzgruppen like being on the side of the line that they’re on. They’re pretty much exclusively bullies. They enjoy acting with impunity. They view the world as zero sum, and are convinced there are terrorists and criminals hiding around literally every corner, and that they’re somehow virtuous bloodhounds saving “good Americans” from the “depraved immigrants”. The dudes who executed Alex Pretti were long timers, not fresh hires. Theres no excuse, and there’s no saving them.

“Parking: free if you have a flathead screwdriver”

Also, is that chain plastic?

Sounds more like a Burger Viceroy or Burger Privy Council

That’s… not the problem. And even if it was, the solution is absolutely not “I guess I’ll shit in that guy’s yard”. Go into a hotel lobby or coffee shop or bar or whatever, ask for the restroom (use your phone as a translator if you need to, because that’s a thing now), and do it there.

Genuinely, I have absolutely zero sympathy for idiotic fucks like that.

Can confirm. Decided to pop for a base MBA, but with 32g ram, about a year ago, and it’s fantastic. Unbelievable battery efficiency, completely silent (passively cooled), and still decently performant for when I want to compile something/do a cpu intensive thing. I’ve used MBPs as corp-issue dev machines for nearly a decade and a half now, so I’m quite comfortable in the ecosystem.

I still have my old T14g2 running fedora, though (in addition to a plethora of non-mobile systems). Also snagged one of those silly-cheap Acer laptops with a fairly late model i3 in it, because it was $200 and had a SODIMM and m.2 slot, just as a spare/extra (it’s running kinoite)

This still makes me cackle every time I see it

Shhhhh don’t tell them

It would be one guy with three dozen armed security contractors around him in full mercenary kit

Also, SFO is rather far south of SF proper, and going between there and Santa Clara doesn’t take you through the city.

Do they…? I’ve never thought so for the most part, tbh.

They very obviously redacted things like “don’t” in some PDFs I’ve seen. Hmmm. Don’t. Don T. Wonder why that was done.
