The Chessnut board I bought on kickstarter quite a few months ago finally arrives this wednesday and it looks super cool I cant wait.

Plus today sometime my new color e=ink tablet arrives... An exciting week for tech toys!

@spots1000 I am well aware of the fake sd and usb decices and know they run rampant... The issue is, its hard to tell which it is.

in fact in this case its suggestive it isnt a scam since the scams do tend to lean towards name brands more. But with only 3 reviews its suspicious enough.

@spots1000

Yea though i looked around and there were a lot of 1tb options for 50$... so i dunno, off brand, maybe.

I feel like all pizza resteraunts need to be parlors...like pizza existing automatically makes any room it is made n a parlor... pizza parlors all the way!

@gpowerf not sure they will be fast enough for every day, but for a trial or to play or in a pinch i think it would work out quite well.

@BigMcLargeHuge I will.

@BigMcLargeHuge if i decided to buy one i would do a full bit for bit integerity check for sure.

@gpowerf I dont even have a need right now.. but if there is legit 20$ 1TB microsd cards I would honestly consider starting moving over to this as a backup solution (right now i use extra drives as backup)

@gpowerf The price feels like one... but: https://www.amazon.com/microSDXC-Memory-GoPro%EF%BC%8CSmartphone-Tablet-Adapter/dp/B0CKVNL82D?pd_rd_w=c8ZYD&content-id=amzn1.sym.6263f500-f8d1-41a8-ae3a-421efdf0dd38&pf_rd_p=6263f500-f8d1-41a8-ae3a-421efdf0dd38&pf_rd_r=0E3BK3E0KBJTZVZKSSD9&pd_rd_wg=gzhvG&pd_rd_r=e0ffb1c9-a831-4236-a739-a24e69f3a6b0&ref_=sspa_ma_st_pt_comp_1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFBS01TRzZZWTBIWk8mZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA2OTQ3NzIxODc2NThDSEYyTzAyJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA2NTc2NTZFVlpETDdXTTkyS1gmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9zaGlwdHJhY2smYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl&th=1

Is this a scam? I feel like a 1TB SD card for 20 bucks must be a scam? Yet the reviews are all good AND there are lots of cards not that much more expensive...

Can we rreally buy a 1tb this small and this cheap now?

@trinsec Man i havent eaten ceral in years.. i like it. I just never think to get it.

Ya know how people look back and describe the crazy hair and style of the 60s.... in 50+ years we are going to have to explain all of this fucking bull shit ::gestures at everything::... I cant believe I will need to explain this bull shit one day.

@condalmo

I myself can see both sides of this.

It allows regulations which force people to use official sex and name (which a person can freely change)... so it allows for laws that enforce proper naming and gendering as long as its official.

On the other hand it can be quite rude to someone who is transitioning but havent officially made the changes yet, and im not sure thats doing much.

But I think those protections, while perhaps unintentional, may not be a horrible way to go about it since it does leave the **option** for them to use a suggested sex that is different than the official one, it just cant be compeled.

So regardless of intent I think it may not be so bad and even a good thing for many.

The other things you suggested may be problematic. while I do think its the respectful thing to do to call someone by their preferred pronoun I think it is quite dangerous to enforce legally a person use particular forms of speech

@condalmo

Correct, and you may rightfully think those sorts of things dont belong in a bill. Thats a fair debate.

But it does **not** limit speech, in fact it prevents the government from being able to limit speech. Its just that you think the way it protects speech from being limited is a way you feel speech should be limited... and again im not even saying yoru wrong. But saying this limits speech when it does the exact opposite is simply wrong.

@robryk im ok with that :)

@robryk If you are resisting a legal arrest then they can charge youw ith resisting **on top of** the reason they were originally arresting you. But the reason for the original arrest can not be resistance of arrest itself as you cant resist an arrest before being arrested and you need a reason to arrest therefore it cant be the reason.

Its well established case law, but no, off hand I dont know the specific case that would address this. I also dont really have the time and bandwidth to search for it for you.

@condalmo the bill says what it does, thereis no need to speculate.

Big bad Ted Cruz doesnt magically change what the bill says it does just cause he is the ass that created it.

I am not saying he created it to protect transpeople, but that is effectively what it does by only allowing employees to be forced to use legal names, so employees therefore can be compelled to use a persons changed name and not their "dead name" but the other way around is not allowed, they cant be forced to use a non-official name (like calling someone by their dead name after a name change).

@robryk the law is quite clear that you cant arrest someone for resisting arrest, but yes you need a reason to arrest someone. What those reasons are is quite specific though.

@condalmo

You may need to read it again carefully.. it specifically states a law can not **force** a federal employee (limit speech) to use specific pronouns or names.. its literally the opposite of limiting speech since an employee retains the **option** to use alternative pronouns but cant be legally forced to do so.
