That depends. Which state are you in?

If the protesters are charged with antisemitic hate speech and go to trial, would the jury get to say “yeah, nah” and dismiss all charges, or does NSW penal-colony law work differently?

Other than the tiny Rhaeto-Romansch-speaking minority, there are no Swiss, just some French, Germans and Italians with delusions of nationhood. (To be fair, there are a lot of Germans.) Meanwhile, the Northern Irish are English (which would surely delight the marchers in their bowler hats and Masonic aprons).

It’s like rain on your wedding day

Some VPNs like Mullvad have the option of padding out the flow of data to thwart traffic analysis, at the expense of speed.

I’d like to see OPEN LOOK come back. It was like a 90s precursor to Frutiger Aero; flat bas-relief shading of the era when GPU compositing, or even true colour, couldn’t be taken as a given, though with an architectural aesthetic elegance, quite a bit more spacious and lighter than the brutalistically clunky Motif.

If they come back at the expense of the Putinist useful-idiot parties (AfD and BSW), I’ll accept that.

Under the IHRA definition of antisemitism, this would be classified as Nazi-punching, and thus based antifascist praxis.

How exactly did Casper the Friendly Kid die?

Police have UPS-like devices which splice into existing mains cables to keep machines alive on the way into the forensics lab. Presumably it’s standard practice to use those.

Of course, the server could be configured to wipe itself if it loses connectivity for more than a few seconds, or its routing changes. The police would need devices that route Ethernet traffic over 5G, though those would presumably be detectable as bandwidth goes down and latency goes up.

There’s the snare from Digital Underground’s Humpty Dance, which consisted of a snare sample off an old funk/soul record with a handclap overlayed over it. Then everyone sampled it, and it filtered out through rap to 90s R&B-adjacent top-40 pop and got overexposed, though arguably not unfairly.

There’s the massive snare from Fine Young Cannibals’ “She Drives Me Crazy”. Apparently they recorded that in Prince’s studio, using one of his drum machines (a Linn/DMX-style one with an EPROM of low-bit-rate samples, I’m guessing) and then blew it out by overdriving the hell out of it.

And then there’s the 909 snare, which was all over house music when it broke the mainstream.

Are The Yes Men still around?

You mean white America? Black America developed one hell of a culture which changed the rest of the world.

There was also the result of drawing a sharp line between the in-group and everyone else. If we have strict dietary laws but the people on the other side of the hill don’t share them, then it follows that they’re unspeakable barbarians, and that we should not trade or cooperate with them, let alone intermarry, and indeed, it’s acceptable to kill them and take their stuff, as surely such a barbarous people would do the same to us.

Is there a Halal Kindle for the Islamic world?

Every era gets the John McAfee it deserves

Try Romanian. People speaking Romanian often sound like they’re at the end of their tether.

I think you have to work up to it. Expand your short-term memory by reading books with longer run-on sentences and subordinate clauses, step by step, until you’re ready to unhinge your jaw and swallow one of Wallace’s multi-page, one-sentence paragraphs and digest it.
