We've drifted pretty far from the Constitution and what the Founders envisioned.

The reinterpretation of the Commerce Clause was the start of a downward spiral.

I'm hoping the Convention of States will succeed and fix this, even if it means rebuilding many institutions at the State level.

Amendments proposed by a convention would still need to be ratified by 38 states. That's a pretty high bar for what you're suggesting.

I think it's more likely we'd see term limits and balanced budget amendments. Possibly even the power for states to override federal laws, with a supermajority.

I'd like to see other things, like the commerce clause returning to its original meaning, but like you said, it's already a high bar.

>the Convention of States

when will that happen?

When at least 34 states call for a constitutional convention. Potentially as early as this year if at least 15 of the 21 states with proposed legislation enact the laws which call for a convention (currently 19 states have enacted laws which call for a convention). Thirty-eight states would need to ratify any proposed amendments.

Tor doesn't protect against traffic correlation last I checked.

Mixnets/Nym are better for actual privacy.

(I've not audited Nym, not an endorsement)

Tor over DAITA? Especially with multihop over multiple non-cooperating legislators.

> To rule out if it was a coding error, I tried to decompress the gzip file with bash via gzip -dc file. bash threw a strange error, “can’t seek file descriptor” when trying to read the file. This error is emitted from bash.c here.

Unless I am reading this wrong, the error would have been emitted by gzip, not bash. There is no redirection or anything here, bash is not even aware of that file.

BPC-157 is the only thing that helped me with my debilitating tendinitis. It was definitely worth it for me, nothing else worked.

They had warships when the 2A was written, some of which were privately owned.

They also had things like the puckle gun and the founders were aware of advancing weaponry.

Hmm maybe they'll add something later. It does have smartcard support, so that may be one approach.

The product page does not completely agree with all of these tech specs:

I just went ahead and placed my order anyways. :)

It seems like you're proving his point.

If you enjoy this type of stuff, you may also enjoy some urban exploration videos:

Thanks for posting this link. It's quite nice.

Thank you for this. The channel looks beautiful.

TheProperPeople do a really good job with their videos. Some of the best no thrills UrbEx.

They're the best of the channels I've seen, but that's not saying much, because nothing compares to being there. For one thing, and it's not a small thing - you can experience a place without having a content creator constantly yattering away at you. Granted, not everybody has the ability or the resources to do any kind of trespassing-as-a-hobby, and it's not as if I myself have the resources to go to the same places they do, but even just going to the abandoned factory down the street is - if, again, you can do it - more worthwhile than their entire channel.

That all you hear are the activities and ambient environment is one of my favorite things about Primitive Technology. Also makes them really relaxing. A nice sleep aid, too.
