It’s not even itself overly broad, it’s just been twisted into a global war on terror because the executives want to do that and no one stopped them.

Yes, therein lies the problem. It was a stupid mistake to make and those that voted for it should have known better.

There were two AUMFs. One for “terrorism” and one for Iraq.

I’m not in disagreement, that also wasn’t what my initial reply was about.

Yes, we call those “blank checks” to the executive branch. The Germans even have a word for it. We did it with Vietnam and it did not go well. One would have thought the generation in Congress would have learned their lesson given most of them lived through that shitshow.

It goes without saying that military resources can defend themselves when fired upon, there’s plenty of precedent going back well before the formation of the US. The AUMFs were not that. They were very clearly blank checks to wage literal wars anywhere the executive desired while providing the flimsiest of evidence - and Shrub did just that. See: Iraq.

The last war by US Congress was declared in June 1942, against Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania. US Congress has not made a formal declaration of war since then.

It renders for me now too, I presume the mobile app was updated. Star Trek cartoon Kirk for me.

Watch out for direct injected cars, which is virtually all of them now except for electrics. Many don’t have traditional fuel injectors in the intake manifold anymore, and because of poor PCV systems, oil vapor carbonizes on the intake valves, causing problems. This is generally around the 40k-50k mile mark, potentially sooner if people don’t drive their cars on the freeway for extended periods after startup. Some newer cars have addresses this by adding supplemental fuel injectors in the intake (some audis, some Toyotas) but it’s not a widespread practice, of it will ever be.

… I’m going to cut you into little pieces!

Systems with exposed SSHd, but also properly configured, are also not at risk.

Trumpites aren’t intelligent people.

Install Ubuntu and be done. I’m able to print to my brother network printer with no special drivers. I installed a gnome tweaks package to do some minor tweaks in gnome, and I did rip out the Firefox snap thing to install Firefox from a package so I could use my kpxc plugin, but that’s the only major change I made. Hell, Dell (laptop) even provides firmware updates via the package manager so your bios gets updated properly. Best Linux desktop experience I’ve ever had over the past 5 years and I’ve been daily driving Ubuntu since 2004.

OS/2 was the first multitasking operating system I ever used. Ran my RemoteAcces BBS on it. I might have to do a site backup just to be nostalgic.
