So rent a VPS abroad and run your own VPN from it. Comercial VPNs have a business to maintain so they've got to comply to keep operating and public advertising, but a privately run VPN just for yourself is just another TLS connection in a sea of other traffic.
The NRA said in a post on X: “For months, radical progressive politicians like Tim Walz have incited violence against law enforcement officers who are simply trying to do their jobs. Unsurprisingly, these calls to dangerously interject oneself into legitimate law-enforcement activities have ended in violence, tragically resulting in injuries and fatalities. As there is with any officer-involved shooting, there will be a robust and comprehensive investigation that takes place to determine if the use of force was justified. As we await these facts and gain a clearer understanding, we urge the political voices to lower the temperature to ensure their constituents and law enforcement officers stay safe.”
Gun Owners of America said: “We are saddened by the loss of life in Minneapolis, Minnesota earlier today during a federal law-enforcement operation. Because details remain limited and facts are still emerging, it is essential that the Justice Department conduct a complete, transparent, and prompt investigation so the public can fully understand what occurred and maintain confidence in the rule of law.
“Furthermore, we condemn the untoward comments of Bill Essayli. Federal agents are not ‘highly likely’ to be ‘legally justified’ in ‘shooting’ concealed carry licensees who approach while lawfully carrying a firearm. The Second Amendment protects Americans’ right to bear arms while protesting—a right the federal government must not infringe upon.
“Finally, the Left must stop antagonizing ICE and Border Patrol agents who are taking criminals off the streets and play a crucial role in protecting communities and upholding the rule of law.”
My blood pressure just kept rising, the further I read...
I'm glad you all walked away; a pissed off client is FAR better than a hospitalized kid on your watch. (though it sounds like the client was understanding anyway)
Given the way everything else is successfully disabled; something tells me they either did that and it's just not working properly for Edge, or that flag got reset by some MS update that nobody asked for and it's just not been noticed by IT yet.
Mhm. Shit people don't want continues to be integrated into required system applications so you cannot remove/avoid it.
Seen it comming since the integration of Edge into Windows and how it's forcibly re-installed everytime you try to remove it. Hell; even the corporate work PCs I use, which lock you out of every non-corporate supplied application such as wordpad, calculator and even the ability to see (not even modify, just view) the desktop background: failed to disable Edge (their default is Chrome). You can right click files > open with > Edge (none of the other applications listed work in any other circumstances, just edge and chrome).
Given the footage available; shouldn't the prosecution be capable of meeting them with a speedy trial? This doesn't seem like the sort of thing that requires months and months of investigations.
I appreciate you giving genuine answers. They're often hard to get.
/edit: another of your replies clears this up. Thank you.
an expected vote in the Senate on Thursday on a resolution to block U.S. forces from further engaging in hostilities against Venezuela without congressional authorization.
You mean the way acts of war already require 'congressional authorization'?
Nice solid non-cable bike lock. Preferably a large hardened steel u-bolt lock.
I've been a big fan of Kryptonites New York Lock as well as their Kryptolok. Both have really nice mounts to attach the lock to the bike when not in use and the kryptolok comes with a robust cable that makes locking up the wheels easier. (do not use the cable to secure the main bike)
Using them correctly is important as well. Lots of people lock one of the wheels and not the frame. You've got to lock the frame itself to a solid object that it can't be slid off of and optionally lock the wheels to the frame using a cable or chain.
