Trump inciting a riot and then calling for prosecution of rioters in a clumsy attempt to exculpate himself is such a classic Trump move. You could almost feel sorry for the people too stupid to see it coming.

Almost.

I don’t think I have a computer in the house that has more than 8GB. Mrs. Fish’s gaming tower might have 16; I don’t remember. It’s one of the things I’ve been in the habit of cheaping out on, but I probably shouldn’t since RAM is generally the critical consumable these days. (My work laptop has 16GB and even that’s not enough; I could actually do with 64, for some of the things I have had to do.)

Yeah, I know the feeling. Going from my 16 GB work laptop (Core i7, SSD) to my 8 GB, old-school Pentium with a 5400 RPM 2.5” platter drive was… extremely jarring. It’s why I eventually had to bust out the gaming tower to get work done; despite its low amount of RAM, at least it’s of a reasonably modern spec, so it can do a lot of stuff with the resources it has.

Imagine if after the (first) American Revolution everyone just threw in the towel when the Articles of Confederation didn’t work out. Or after the Stamp Act pre-Revolution everyone just said “oh gee guys, we’re done”. Or if after the Boston Tea Party everyone said “oh no, now the King & British Newspapers will defame us”. Seriously, Trump gave it his all. He’s in his 70s, and he worked 20 hour days for 5 straight years, throwing out his reputation, all of his friends, half his family. He did this for YOU. You want him to do EVERYTHING for you? He got this movement started. It’s not fucking over, he gave us the playbook, now it’s OUR turn to lead this movement, together. Yesterday showed the power we can exert when even a fraction of us get together in one location. We keep this going, forever, until the Left caves in or go extinct because they only fuck 7 year old boys in the ass and can’t reproduce.

I do agree. I have a big computer with 48 gb of ram and two sata drives and a laptop with 8 gb and an M.2. For running a few apps, and especially on startup, the laptop screams.

At some point, I wouldn’t mind converting the other computer, but I have one drive with windows the other Linux, and just swapping feels like a job.

I am a third party amazon seller. This advise is dangerous, because third party sellers make up over 50% of amazon sales. We are talking about robbing American small businesses. When cucks do this (and they get me too often), it comes out of MY pocket. Amazon will blindly refund the customer if they claim the item doesn’t arrive even through the tracking number says otherwise, and I am robbed.

“The general plan now is to let the clock run out,” said one former senior administration official aware of the discussions. “There will be a reckoning for this president, but it doesn’t need to happen in the next 13 days.” (3/)

— Kayla Tausche (@kaylatausche) January 8, 2021

And while there’s still a wave of resignations underway, there’s also an effort to maintain a smooth transition process for the incoming admin. Chris Liddell, I’m told, will stay. And Chao’s not leaving till 1/11 bc she’s meeting with Buttigieg team tomorrow, per sources. (5/)

— Kayla Tausche (@kaylatausche) January 8, 2021

But others are non-plussed: There’s also a faction within the WH of harder-line advisers (McEntee, Scavino, Miller) who believe the images of the Capitol yesterday were an “exaggerated” byproduct of “left-wing media,” per an official. (7/7)

Prosecutors will negotiate and work through who gets first crack with the stronger case and that will go first. We see this with various crimes committed by someone across jurisdictions. Depends on the specific charges involved too. There could be charges filed simultaneously and prosecutions done simultaneously (with Zoom, this is actually easier than physically transporting between jurisdictions).

The Capitol was ‘stormed’ because the Deep State wanted it stormed. The ‘riots’ were led by Antifa instigators and the Capitol police was ordered to stand down/let them in — Trust me, if the capitol was truly under ‘attack’ by an irregular group of unarmed people, there is no way in hell those people are going to get inside.

The Reichstag burned in 1933 because the Nazi’s wanted it to burn; and like the burning of the Reichstag, the ‘assault’ on the Capitol bldg was a pre-planned, choreographed, staged, ‘riot’ for the cameras and corporate media to blast all over the news.

I say this because his previous statement were very much abuser-talk, where he lays out why everyone deserves the harm, repeats the self-serving narrative that justified the harm, and insinuates that the way to avoid future harm is to just do what he wants.

My operating theory is still that this isn’t an incoherent or demented person, but a sadistic person whose narcissism buoys them to belief they’re able to get away with shit, and then shit themselves when their helpers point out the ways they’re culpable.

I don’t mean to be a downer, but I think we should consider that another possible reading of the current Cabinet resignations is people scared that there’s a next thing coming, because Donald Trump just literally is never engaged with the real world as a thing separate from his emotional needs.

Edit to add:

Another thing I think that’s worth consideration is that one reading of the mess at the Capitol is that Donald Trump set up a situation in which people who pissed him off were left frightened and vulnerable…

…not that this is true, but if you were a person near him and aware of his vindictive streak and fits of narcissistic rage, it would seem feasible. And Trump has already done a circuitous version of “I made this happen, it was deserved” in public, I would not put it past him to do a more explicit version of this in private…again, whether or not it’s true: he’s a narcissist, and appropriating someone else’s pain and fear to assert control is just a viable strategy.

If articles of impeachment were introduced and voted on tomorrow, can Trump pardon anyone?

Yes, he is still President unless removed by the Senate, and they won’t remove him.

The time-window for impeaching and removing Trump is very narrow. Unless it happens within the next couple of days inertia and relentless media both-sidesing will kill the initiative.

Yes, do that. You will be most pleased, I can promise you.

All of my systems (server, gaming desktop, HTPC, my ROG gaming laptop and my wife’s i7 Haswell Dell business laptop) have SSD/NVME boot and program drives, with spinners for storage. Same with my customers. RAM is great and I recommend 16 GB, which is great for most personal use situations, 32 GB for more serious use scenarios.

But once you drop the spinner and move to SSD/NVME for booting you will never want to give up that < 20 second cold boot. 👍

Trump has already been impeached once, and he still has the pardon power. The only way we get these fuckers on federal charges is if the Senate votes to convict, and they won’t. They just won’t.

Well if he can simply pardon everyone out of consequences, including himself, then everyone goes home unscathed and the country takes it on the chin. Again. Still. Unless there’s another process, that’s the reality: Get Out of Jail Free for Everyone.

I think, these days, that a solid state drive is by far the biggest performance improvement you can make.

I had to replace my apparently dying Macbook Pro. After a day or two of we delivered it/no you didn’t (although I can’t complain too much; when I ordered it it wasn’t supposed to even ship til today) I have a Mac Mini M1. It has only 8GB RAM - I couldn’t really afford to bump it up - but supposedly, with the RAM being physically part of the “system on a chip,” I will be just fine with 8. I’m not too worried - I don’t expect to be doing much if any video editing on it. And the 256 GB of storage are flash modules, I believe.
Many years of having only a laptop means I am using a monitor so old that I have my choice of VGA or DVI. I can’t afford $6,000 for a fancy Mac display (add $999 for the fancy stand that goes with it) but I might spring for a less spendy, more up-to-date monitor in a little while.
Of course, the punchline is that my Macbook has been working just fine for 4 or 5 days now. Starting AFTER the new computer arrived.
Wow - it felt nice to spend a few minutes thinking about something other than violent insurrection…
