It's kiddo's computer, he wants Chrome so I guess that's what I have to fix.

Apart from security the computer is his responsibility. If he wants it optimised he can learn to do it himself and I'll gladly help.

In the meantime i'm very happy with my choice to use a Mac, Windows shenanigans infuriates me.

Trump's administration has really settled into a "we gave a military, might as well us it" stance.

Why are we drowning ourselves in Trump? And the very minimum time that could be spent productively is not spent in that manner. It also feels like it just reinforces more Trump content being pushed at us.

Another shooting by ICE in Minnesota.  ICE magdumped an unarmed guy while struggling with him, probably after one of them accidentally discharged while pistol-whipping him.

Quote from: viper37 on Today at 11:32:40 AMWell, not this time of the year, no.
More like when their guard is down later on and some troops have left.

That's the point, they will never leave. Fortifications will continue to be built up. Patriotic civil preparedness on steroids will continue (many Greenlanders are caching supplies, ammo, alternative cottages to relocate family to, etc).

They are displaying the sort of admirable civic resilience the Trump-voting burger mutts would get heart palpitations from the thought of ever doing.

ICE deport 100M$ jewelry thief before trial

There was a huge jewlery theft in 2022, in California, the 7 thieves got away with 100M$.

5 of them got caught, they were each facing up to 25 years in prison.  The stolen merchandise, nor the value of the product have been found since.

One of the thief got snatched by ICE, he was Salvadorian.  He appeared in front of an immigration tribunal for "voluntary deportation" given his criminal status.  Guy didn't deny anything of his criminal charges, was self represented, agreed for deportation.

At his criminal trial, his lawyer was surprised to hear he couldn't be there because ICE had deported him to Salvador, but that wasn't his fault he couldn't be there to face trial, see, that was ICE doing...

Well, one less criminal in the US, I suppose.

Locals are noting a lot more military presence around Greenland.





Greenlandic independence movement now more patriotic than their opponents ever were before this crisis. Winning the battle of Greenland would result in death-by-hunting-rifle as the leading cause of death for American occupation soldiers.
