Ya knew it was a timeout from the get-go, and maybe a routing issue. Checking the sendmail.cf and seeing the 0 seems like it would trigger looking up the local docs to check that parameter's definition

Where does #dehumanization get started? How does it become institutionalized?

Look to an organization that was old 821 years ago and weilds increasing #political power in the USA.

Jews not to hold public offices It would be too absurd for a blasphemer of Christ to exercise power over Christians. We therefore renew in this canon, on account of the boldness of the offenders, what the council of Toledo providently decreed in this matter : we forbid Jews to be appointed to public offices, since under cover of them they are very hostile to Christians. If, however, anyone does commit such an office to them let him, after an admonition, be curbed by the provincial council, which we order to be held annually, by means of an appropriate sanction. Any official so appointed shall be denied commerce with Christians in business and in other matters until he has converted to the use of poor Christians, in accordance with the directions of the diocesan bishop, whatever he has obtained from Christians by reason of his office so acquired, and he shall surrender with shame the office which he irreverently assumed. We extend the same thing to pagans.

The definition of #faith is “#belief without #evidence”

People who elevate this as a virtue will be unable to have a shared reality. It will always be centered on whatever narrative is popular with their in-group.

Faith is **not** a virtue
*It is the destroyer of civilization.*

I don't manage data centers, but I work with people who do.

Data centers in space seemed idiotic to me so I asked them. Now I know there are petabytes of imaging data. Beaming it down is the problem.

Now it seems even **more** idiotic. Turns out there are *multiple* companies **already doing […]

It's the kind of time when center-right military youtubers post AOC's Congressional speech and say: "she's not wrong!"... and then point to a Trump post and trace its disinformation to Russian troll farms

These extreme weather situations are an exact product of a much warmer atmosphere.

Consequence of a warming atmosphere is that the higher latitudes are warming much faster than equatorial regions, weakening the jetstream. This means that cold air mass can escape towards the […]

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

This year's fun reminder:

DO NOT HOLD THE DOOR OPEN FOR STRANGERS.

EVEN IF THEY APPEAR TO BE PREGNANT AND IN DISTRESS, THEY *MUST* SHOW AN ID CARD.

Why? Because ... you guessed it, this is not a purely hypothetical scenario!

A few Dead songs are like okay, that's about it. Yes they are very good musicians. But the primary reason I went to their concerts was to get acid.
