I have taken 5 polygraphs during my prior LE career.
The examiner gives you a packet to complete. Then they hook you up, ask a couple baseline questions, then ask 10ish Yes/No questions w/r/t the packet questions, then a few "have you ever committed a crime undetected" type deals.

OK but (a) lie detector tests are junk science and (b) they don’t work if the subject is crying
As the FBI’s deputy director, Dan Bongino receives some of the country’s most sensitive secrets, including the President’s Daily Brief. His ascent to that position without passing a standard bureau background check is unprecedented, insiders say.

And the reorg action for 20k+ users is built.
Based on that, I can start the AD work. Over 100 OUs need built out, thankfully most of that is scripted.
One top-level department is consolidating from over 100 containers to six. Login-GPPs are going to be a nightmare.

Had an epiphany w/r/t the reorg project I've been working on that makes things significantly easier. Also means I can build a script that will generate the reorg file next time.
I've been trying for a while now to dump my brain into documentation in case I get hit by a bus.

OMG, as a father, allow me to emphasize it is not ok for adult men to be into teen age girls, and if you are an adult rationalizing “15 year olds” as somehow ok:

You need help

I am very happy that my 13yo is turning from a momma's girl into a daddy's girl.
I didn't used to get hugs. "Ew, go away."
I got a hug and "I love you to" at the bus stop and it made my morning. Yes, it was in response to a Monster from UDF, but I'll accept transactional.

Glad I saw this sober this morning instead of last night because WHOA my brain could not have handled this.
Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.
And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

Punishment doesn’t work. A justice system based on the idea of punching a bad person until they’re good is flawed from the base.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

The reason you have a meeting in the Situation Room is to make sure that no one is recording it.
Which says a lot about the level of paranoia both in general and specifically around Epstein.

My god (sorry I’m late on a bunch of this stuff. But wow!)
According to this NYT report, the head of the FBI and the Attorney General are holding meetings *in the Situation Room* with GOP lawmakers they are trying to pressure to rescind their votes to release the Epstein info. This is madness.

New: A judge in Washington has ruled images from Flock surveillance cameras are public records and that anyone can request them. Highlights the pervasiveness of this tech and just how much surveillance is being done. Very notable ruling

This is several separate *TEAMS* at my spot. We all talk and most projects involve multiple teams inside. I could do most of this myself, but good lord I cannot imagine.
