[01:13] DaemonFC They usually just buy them and drive them until they're so neglected that they don't want to deal with something strange it's doing now, and buy another one. [01:14] DaemonFC I know what scared the last owner into dumping this one and the funny part was that it wasn't even THAT expensive to fix considering. [01:14] DaemonFC One of the wheel bearings was pulsing the ABS system because it wasn't spinning right. [01:14] DaemonFC Didn't even cost $200 to fix that. [01:15] DaemonFC They omitted the labor for the bearing hubs because I was getting the brakes overhauled anyway. [01:15] DaemonFC So they had so much of the system dismantled anyway for the brakes that I told them to just go ahead and put new wheel bearing hubs on the front end. [01:16] DaemonFC So for not too much more than the brake job, she could have had them replace the offending bearing hub, or even both of them. [01:17] DaemonFC Women do dumb shit with cars, especially unloading them for a low price because something that sounds worse than it is starts happening. [01:17] psydruid Fonts were designed and implemented to be malicious? [01:17] activelow the TrueType system was/is malicious [01:17] psydruid What in modern computers isn't malicious? [01:19] activelow anyway, i'll keep bitmap fonts; with mapple freetype fully wiped and with it GTK2/3 are gone (except for some fringe case) [01:19] DaemonFC When bearing hubs go out, they can make some awful noises, but you can get a Moog bearing hub that's at least as good as OE for not a terrible amount of money. [01:20] DaemonFC When I finally heard the bearing hub on the driver front screeching at me, I knew where the ABS problem was coming from. [01:20] activelow don't know, why GTK2/3 couldn't use X11 PCF fonts, without any mapple fontconfig/freetype involved [01:21] DaemonFC Unfortunately, the Buick is such a heavy car, that you have to use better brake pads and rotors than you can get away with on an Impala. [01:21] DaemonFC So I upgraded from those godawful semi-metallic pads "Diane" put on there and replaced them with ceramic. [01:22] activelow the equation with mapple freetype is this: either it is accepted (with any legal and technical issue involved), and if not entire gtk/qt are gone forever [01:22] DaemonFC I also got rid of the "Die Hard" battery from god knows when and upgraded to a Duracell Platinum AGM, and got a tune up, and new belt tensioner and serpentine belt. And flushed the coolant out real good and had the transmission serviced. [01:23] DaemonFC I know how old cars start giving problems, and believe me, you don't want to break down because someone never replaced a 14 year old belt. [01:23] psydruid are these software patents valid in the EU as well or are they strictly a US thing? [01:23] activelow the patents weren't valid because IBM Mapple violated the ISO standardization criteria [01:24] activelow in fact, it was _fraud_, to advertise TrueType as _standard_, and at the same time not revealing the patent portfolio held against such standard [01:25] activelow brings me back to the reasoning, why GPL without a guarding standard is dangerous and potentially harmful to "free software" [01:33] *mib_or00t1 (~47cdd011@q8ban9vyag5t6.irc) has joined #techrights [01:47] MinceR 28 015221 < schestowitz-TR> you ride a 14 year olkd [01:47] MinceR that's nothing, i ride a 2 year old [01:47] MinceR (closer to 3, but whatever) [01:49] *inky_ has quit (Quit: IRC for Sailfish 0.9) [01:52] *goosestepping_ (~goosestepping@m2sp6a2bc6824.irc) has joined #techrights [01:56] activelow patents or none, vector-fonts, aren't always the best choice, bitmapped fonts have advantages too, such as: easier to implement, and much faster while their disadvantages are almost absent when tailored for the specific use-case [01:59] IPFS IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 24.06 k/sec., IPFS upstream 29.18 average k/sec., average swarm size 344.20 ● Apr 28 [02:02] activelow anyway, already curious, once i got time, if the ancient rxvt-2.7 graphics support can be utilized, to rasterize any vectors (regis, sixel) directly into virtual terminal, together with support from gnuplot, TeX [02:03] activelow another nice to have, for example: less outputs plain text and rasterized graphics from illustrations directly into virtual terminal, and too if such virtual terminal output can be forwared 1:1 into /dev/lp0 matrix plotter [02:03] activelow which is, this is how it should have been [02:03] bnchs activelow, uhhh that requires less to have a PDF parser [02:04] activelow the gentoo lesser already does output plaintext from pdf, nice. yet cannot process illustrations/images into virtual terminal sixels yet [02:12] activelow less or even better, less directly rendered into virtual terminal plaintext and sixels (for formulas and illustrations) [02:13] activelow and imagine this, if a converter from sixel(DEC)-to-epson was available, what such a *nix terminal could do [02:13] activelow it is an _universal_ IDE then [02:15] MinceR it always was a universal IDE [02:16] MinceR "Unix was originally meant to be a convenient platform for programmers developing software to be run on it and on other systems, rather than for non-programmers." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix [02:16] TR Bot Unix - Wikipedia [02:17] activelow nowadays, without vector graphics rasterization (directly) into virtual terminal, not to mention printing (again some Mapple crap) instead of piping vt output directly into /dev/lp0 [02:30] *goosestepping_ has quit (Quit: Ping timeout: Over 9000!!!)

[06:13] matey of course my prognosis for gnu and linux is terrible, but its based on facts people dont like to talk about [06:13] matey it has nothing to do with the patent nonsense microsoft talks about-- as if "microsoft" and "security" can be used in the same sentence without laughter [06:14] matey meanwhile theyve put their own people in charge of the linux foundation, sheer hypocrisy and two-facedness but we already said "microsoft" so those are givens [06:15] matey still they have even their opponents boosting the brands they prefer over others [06:15] matey which should surprise me, not that it does [06:16] matey i mean a year or two ago matt lee was saying we should call it "linux" after hiring stephen fry to call it "gnu" [06:17] matey now microsoft is spreading fud about "linux" and all you hear is "linux linux linux" [06:17] matey are we taking matt lees advice now? [06:18] matey i guess bnchs knows better, thats good [06:18] matey bnchs noted that in GNU/Linux, you would have to boot to another OS to get root. [06:25] matey my prognosis is that gnu will die in the next few years. thats not a happy thing [06:25] matey but if we call it "linux" then we simply erase it from history as well [06:26] matey im not the least in favour of that [06:26] matey there was never a linux operating system [06:26] matey there was android, there was gnu [06:26] matey i know alpine is proud (seems so) to not use gnu userland [06:27] matey does it also use llvm? i dont know, i pay it very little attention because it still uses a doomed kernel [06:28] matey however lets give alpine credit where due. suppose tomorrow all the governments of the world, the native peoples of every land, and lets even throw in aliens and jesus for fun, got together and banned linux from use [06:28] matey i figure alpine would just use a different kernel then. granted it might take a while. but its a pretty determined project. [06:29] matey maybe im giving it too much credit, but giving it too little isnt on my to-do list. [06:29] matey id rather just say linux itself is a doomed kernel [06:29] matey the fsf on the other hand, look what they do [06:30] matey theyve become a linux kernel dick sucking contest [06:30] matey first debian decided other kernels didnt matter, then the fsf seemed to have as well [06:31] matey gone are the days of "there is no other operating system but gnu (and that was said humourously) and linux is ONE OF its kernels" [06:31] matey not if you read the fsf website [06:31] matey linux isnt even a fucking free kernel. i mean [06:32] matey every time richard stallman says "gnu slash linux" he isnt following the fsdg [06:32] matey of course hes not a distro so thats fine [06:32] matey but i mean, linux-libre is a (relatively) free kernel, its free of blobs [06:32] matey "linux" is a non-free kernel, actually. [06:33] matey why he ever even talks about "linux" when its non-free, go figure. the fsf shouldnt promote linux, only linux-libre of course [06:33] *GNUmoon2 has quit (connection closed) [06:33] matey the openbsd kernel is more free than "linux", no non-free driverse [06:34] matey but they get shunned while "linux" gets a pass [06:34] matey its absolutely a double standard [06:34] matey i doubt VERY MUCH it has anything to do with being paid off-- but [06:34] matey just the fact that its the sort of thing you get as a result of paying people off makes it sad [06:34] matey liike who paid them off to display this double standard [06:35] matey no one? so theyre incredibly lacking in sheer consistency and intellectual honesty FREE OF CHARGE? thats such a waste [06:35] matey they should have at least set a price on that [06:36] matey as long as theyre going to make such ridiculous self-defeating compromises [06:37] matey they should at least take some money for it and put it towards i dont know... whatevers left of free software or something [06:37] matey alternatively they could be more honest. how much would that cost?

[06:47] matey if you make a fully-free version of debian, and you want the fsf to promote it, you have to meet the fsdg (not the dfsg which came first, this is the fsf criteria, the fsdg, not confusing at all) and the fsdg doesnt let you name your os after something non-free [06:48] matey so you cant call it debian-libre (i mean this is apart from the fact that it would violate a trademark most likely held by spi, but i dont know who the holder is) [06:48] matey they might/might not care about the trademark though [06:48] matey if it was a spin, i dont know what the policy is [06:49] matey anyway with puppy linux, barry kauler (trademark holder) wouldnt go after you for "puppy-libre" [06:49] matey but youd have to change the name for the fsf to promote it [06:49] matey they wont promote puppy-libre [06:49] matey you have to change the name of the os. but not the kernel! [06:49] matey puppy-libre refers to a non-free os, no good [06:50] matey linux-libre refers to a non-free kernel-- totally okay [06:50] matey so puppy-libre? no. but libredog gnu/linux or libredog gnu/linux-libre? green light! [06:51] matey the linux kernel is VERY privileged here, being the ONLY non-free kernel you can refer to in the name of your fsdg-approved distro. [06:51] matey and indeed the only non-free software you can refer to (directly) in the name of your fsdg-approved distro [06:52] matey why does linux, a non-free kernel, enjoy such privilege? [06:52] matey because the fsf has allowed linux to make gnu its bitch [06:52] matey they didnt even realise they were doing it [06:53] matey im not just talking about the special pleading in the naming scheme, thats just the most glaring example ive found recently (this week) [06:53] matey i mean everything they do bows to the linux kernel [06:54] matey might as well be the fs/lf free software slash linux foundation [06:54] matey oh i guess the linux foundation would stop that with their trademark [06:55] matey another funny thing, and this makes me laugh [06:55] matey nah, fuck it, ill save that one [06:59] IPFS IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 20.15 k/sec., IPFS upstream 22.53 average k/sec., average swarm size 290.91 ● Apr 28 [07:17] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights [07:17] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights [07:26] *ciphrCat has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [07:28] *ciphrCat (~ciphrCat@v75kd7krrqfvs.irc) has joined #techrights [07:37] *ziraffep (~ziraffep@phgdj3exxtdc4.irc) has joined #techrights [07:59] IPFS IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 23.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 48.36 average k/sec., average swarm size 323.46 ● Apr 28 [08:04] *GNUmoon has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [08:16] *GNUmoon (~GNUmoon@gateway/tor-sasl/gnumoon) has joined #techrights [08:24] *activelow has quit (connection closed) [08:24] *activelow (~activelow@3rd3devshh7bn.irc) has joined #techrights [08:31] *tpmd (~tpm@kpdwurn3ajvak.irc) has joined #techrights [08:33] TR News #Techrights Bulletin for Wednesday, April 27, 2022 http://techrights.org/txt full archive: http://techrights.org/txt-archives #gnu #linux #freesw #plaintext [08:33] TR Bot Bulletin Archives [08:33] TR News #Techrights full #IPFS index updated just now http://techrights.org/ipfs available as plain text @ http://techrights.org/ipfs/txt #dweb #sharing [08:33] TR Bot Techrights Full IPFS Index [08:33] TR News Completely Remove Snap from Ubuntu Linux [Tutorial] Tux Machines http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/164235 [08:33] TR Bot Completely Remove Snap from Ubuntu Linux [Tutorial] | Tux Machines [08:34] TR News Links 28/04/2022: New Official Release of IPFire, FSF Hiring | Techrights http://techrights.org/2022/04/27/fsf-hiring-2/ | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2022/04/27/fsf-hiring-2/ [08:34] TR Bot Links 28/04/2022: New Official Release of IPFire, FSF Hiring | Techrights [08:46] TR News Smap: Alternate Network Scanner of Nmap by shodan.io [Examples] Tux Machines http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/164236 [08:46] TR Bot Smap: Alternate Network Scanner of Nmap by shodan.io [Examples] | Tux Machines [08:48] TR News "I approached copying my PGP key to paper in short bursts: each day I copied just three lines, and that took me from 10 to 15 minutes" http://ariis.it/static/articles/handwritten-pgp-key/page.html | [08:48] TR Bot fa - backup your PGP key with pencil and paper [08:48] TR News "I wanted to write about DNS for three reasons" https://jvns.ca/blog/2022/04/26/new-zine--how-dns-works-/ | Source: Julia Evans [08:48] -AltLink_97e/#techrights- CloudFlare: jvns.ca | Alternative: https://web.archive.org/web/https://jvns.ca/blog/2022/04/26/new-zine--how-dns-works-/ https://timetravel.mementoweb.org/memento/202204/https://jvns.ca/blog/2022/04/26/new-zine--how-dns-works-/ [08:48] TR Bot New zine: How DNS Works!

For him to bring this up now is simply a smear" [12:50] schestowitz I always told you asking rms to step down was a bad idea [12:50] schestowitz not just for tact reason s [12:50] schestowitz but for pragmatic reasons [12:50] matey I always told you asking rms to step down was a bad idea <- another fabrication [12:50] schestowitz he should stay and can stay [12:50] matey youve neve saidthat [12:50] matey you understand you have a pathological lying disorder [12:50] matey personally i think its textbook narcissism. but it could be any cluster-b disorder.

[18:10] DaemonFC I said, "Most of those eccentricities are just all about how they feel they own and are entitled to everything. It even bubbles up in small ways, like your friend's dad who was a millionaire from IBM and Coca Cola investments. And when he died, his kids were finding kitchen cabinets with thousands of ketchup packets he would pocket at McDonalds.". [18:12] DaemonFC Even now, you can buy 64 ounces of ketchup for $2.92. And that's about 200 packets of ketchup? More maybe? [18:12] DaemonFC So the guy had millions of dollars and would steal $1 worth of ketchup from McDonalds just to get away with it. [18:13] matey Even now, you can buy 64 ounces of ketchup for $2.92. <- without hfcs? because i wont open most packets now, most brands contain unnecessary "sugar" [18:13] matey id rather use hot sauce than ketchup with hfcs (even if ketchup is more delicious on chips for example) [18:13] DaemonFC MinceR, Mom got a really CLEAN Buick off his daughter though.

You know, 'I always wanted one of these and now it's mine!' and then some domineering husband won't even give me $50 of my own money to plate it.". [18:16] DaemonFC Oh these old cars are great. [18:16] DaemonFC YOu don't have to get them emissions tested. They're really fast because there's no pollution control nonsense on there putting back pressure on the engine or poisoning it with its own exhaust. [18:17] DaemonFC There's almost no electronics, and what there are are very simple. Simple enough to operate with glass fuses. [18:17] DaemonFC Your carburetor goes out, you can get a brand new one for $50. Your generator goes out. $50. You can do it yourself with some simple tools. It's all right there. [18:18] matey but now that cars have systemd, its a different story [18:18] DaemonFC My former pediatrician still drives 1970s Lincolns. [18:18] DaemonFC She's still working, in her 90s. [18:18] DaemonFC And she still drives 1970s Lincolns that look like they just came out of the factory. [18:19] matey https://yewtu.be/watch?v=868DSi85odQ [18:19] TR Bot Hot Rod Lincoln - Invidious [18:19] DaemonFC Her husband bought like 7 of them and he's a mechanic and got all the rust off of them. [18:19] DaemonFC You have a husband like that and you'll never have too many car problems. He's out there all the time working on the cars just to do it. [18:20] DaemonFC matey, I did the best I could when I bought that Buick. I'm having it rust repaired next week, but it's nothing terrible. [18:20] DaemonFC For what I paid, you see them with so much rust on the body that you just give up and drive the car for as long as you can. [18:21] DaemonFC But all of the rust on this thing is either on removable panels that you can just toss and replace or slight cosmetic touch up and it's gone. [18:21] DaemonFC So it's getting new fenders and rocker panel. [18:21] DaemonFC And then I don't need to worry about rust again for a nice long time. [18:22] DaemonFC The fenders are pretty cheap as aftermarket parts. The part that gets you is paint and blend. [18:22] DaemonFC There's some labor there so it's like 2/3rds of that job.

Also, that he stopped listening to Rush Limbaugh over NAFTA. [18:35] DaemonFC I replied: Jan isn't scared. She's just so domineering of you and pompous and self-absorbed that she can't tolerate you doing anything that she doesn't sign off on and since she was barren she doesn't want to entertain the idea of having your kids around. Not that you're a lot better. You tried to cancel insurance that wasn't costing you anything on me and Collin, so, for example, I would have to suffer terribly from painful wisdom teeth that I [18:35] DaemonFC would not have been able to afford to extract for a while, so my mother had to schedule me in one day before my birthday to get all four of them out and beat your petty nonsense by one day. How do you even look at yourself? [18:35] DaemonFC You know what Gustavo Fring said in Breaking Bad, right? To Walter. He said "A man provides for his family. Do you know what kind of man does not provide for his family? Not a man.". Mexican culture tends to be like that, to where even a drug lord would be repulsed by a man who takes things out on his own children to try to settle a score with his ex wife. [18:35] DaemonFC I got the Internet connection myself. I didn't have any money for it but there was tulip mania in the DotCom market and they had the idea of free ad supported ISPs. So that's what I grabbed and used. Eventually I figured out how to crash the ad bar and later how to unscramble my password and bypass their software to dial out. [18:35] DaemonFC It's weird that you stopped listening to Limbaugh over NAFTA but you backed Trump when he expanded it and bought a Chevy Equinox that is 100% Mexican on the Country of Origin Label due to Trump NAFTA. Also, the dairy farmers in Wisconsin who are committing suicide over cheap milk dumped from Canada would like a word with you, Mr. Farmer. Trump lost because he lost. The people up there may not like Biden but they know where Trump sent their job [18:35] DaemonFC to. They're not all that stupid. [18:38] DaemonFC Addendum: The only significant pushback to Trump NAFTA was from the Democratic Party. It split the party down the middle in Congress. I think every Republican voted for it, and if they didn't, then it was nearly unanimous. There are at least a few Democrats who care what happens to our agriculture and auto industries. [18:39] DaemonFC --- [18:39] DaemonFC I'm not in opposition to trade agreements, but NAFTA was predatory and Trump made it worse. [18:41] *ziraffep has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [18:41] DaemonFC Threatening to remove us from NAFTA initially got my attention and increased my support of Donald Trump on that issue until I saw where he really went with it and was thoroughly disgusted. Ripping up NAFTA is not even comparable to a Brexit, which was terribly stupid and a self-inflicted gunshot wound. We would have reverted to the tariffs schedule on Mexico as it existed in 1994 and the United States-Canada Free Trade Agreement. [18:41] DaemonFC The UK was never attached to a third world economy with no environmental or labor laws through the European Union common trade zone like we are with Mexico through NAFTA. [18:42] DaemonFC So the EU actually was promoting efficiency in the trade bloc, and with Brexit, the UK has lost more jobs and consumers have had to pay more in taxes (tariffs) and it has slowed down their economy badly. Combined with COVID, it's damned near dead. [18:43] DaemonFC And now that Johnson has succeeded in breaking the working class, he goes where they all do after that. Stoke racial tensions, gets the poor to blame the poorer. [18:44] DaemonFC And so you have the "policing bill" and you had the "restaurant scheme" during COVID that even Roy said was the dumbest thing he'd ever seen but since there was a perverse incentive, he went for it like any rational person would. [18:45] DaemonFC Illinois decided to put up all of the homeless in hotels to make it look like "not a hotel bailout package". I mean, the optics of empty hotel rooms with a bailout bill would have been too much. [18:46] DaemonFC So the state actually almost caused _us_ to go homeless because I was paying monthy rates to stay in a motel by the highway and once the state enacted that program, the manager decided to raise the monthly rate by 30% overnight to soak the government, and that's when I got up and said "No matter what I have to do, we're finding an apartment.". [18:46] DaemonFC *monthly [18:47] DaemonFC And now that there's "no emergency", and everyone who died of COVID died of COVID despite the government tyranny.... No more housing for the homeless. [18:47] DaemonFC Beat it. Get a job! [18:48] DaemonFC The government only did this so it could "reform" the economy in ways that nobody would have accepted otherwise and flex its "we're the government and we will do anything we want" muscles like it does every couple decades to remind you all who daddy is. [18:48] DaemonFC And then everyone who was going to die of COVID died of COVID anyway. [18:49] DaemonFC People from San Francisco don't "get it". [18:49] DaemonFC mjg59_ and jwz don't get it. [18:49] DaemonFC You can tell from their comments about "COVID" that they just don't get what is happening, or part of them does and they just like not having any freedoms and so they're cheering a police state. [18:50] DaemonFC I am too old for this bullshit already, and I'm not even 40 yet. [18:50] DaemonFC So obviously I've matured faster.

[19:01] DaemonFC They send all the car manufacturing to Hungary but I doubt Hungary is as bad as Mexico is. [19:01] matey give it time [19:01] DaemonFC Thousands of people being murdered each year in a drug war due to a government whose police are all on the take and doesn't control anything. [19:02] matey how many thousands? [19:02] matey i mean i dont want to move there, just asking [19:02] DaemonFC The figures I've seen say perhaps 6,000-8,000 people murdered every year for either being in the way or cartel-military clashes. [19:02] DaemonFC It's bad. [19:02] matey 6000-8000 is definitely bad, its like 2 9/11s every year [19:02] DaemonFC I think it has gotten up over 10,000 before. [19:03] matey but these days that seems small [19:03] DaemonFC There's very little law and order in Mexico. [19:03] DaemonFC There's lots of kidnappings even in the middle of their capitol city. [19:03] matey thats bad [19:03] DaemonFC If you're an American there's basically only a few places you can go where you'll be safe. [19:04] DaemonFC The government concentrates their ability to enforce rule of law on a few vacation spots and manufacturing zones that get visited by tourists and businessmen. [19:05] matey id actually want a second opinion from mjg since he lived in northern ireland [19:05] DaemonFC Most of the people in Mexico are drinking Coca Cola instead of water because the water is poisonous and kills you now, but the Coke plant filters the water to turn it into Coke. [19:05] DaemonFC So it kills you later. :) [19:06] DaemonFC The Libertarian Party doesn't particularly like ICE or USCIS. [19:06] matey i havent found many libertarians [19:06] DaemonFC The position is that anyone who isn't causing harm to a US citizen and plans to support themselves should be allowed to live here. [19:07] matey i dont mean in terms of voting [19:07] matey i mean in equally important ways [19:07] matey i mean among libertarians, i havent found many libertarians [19:07] matey or maybe i was looking for left libertarians, i dont know [19:07] DaemonFC Well, it's hard to do that because the elections are jacked up so only two parties can win. [19:07] matey oh i know that [19:08] DaemonFC And so social libertarians tend to vote for Democrats they don't like. [19:08] matey thats too obvious [19:08] DaemonFC While fiscal libertarians tend to vote for Republicans they don't like. [19:08] matey yeah people like that are exactly what i wanted to get away from [19:08] DaemonFC And the actual Libertarian Party only gets like 1-2% of the vote. [19:08] matey its not a real democracy [19:09] DaemonFC This whole pigfuck with the Pritzker Administration has me seriously wondering how I'll vote this year. [19:09] DaemonFC I already requested a Republican primary ballot so that I can vote for Richard Irvin for Governor of Illinois. [19:09] DaemonFC And if he doesn't win, I guess I'll just vote for the Libertarian candidate. [19:10] DaemonFC It's weird because there's a lot of deep blue states that get Republican governors. [19:10] DaemonFC So it's not out of the realm of possibility that it can happen in Illinois. [19:10] DaemonFC It does happen sometimes. [19:10] *mib_or00t1 (~47cdd011@q8ban9vyag5t6.irc) has joined #techrights [19:10] DaemonFC The only reason Pritzker "won" is because Bruce Rauner blew it so badly as Governor, and he managed to sign off on laws that he didn't have to that damaged him with his own party. [19:11] DaemonFC When he could have either vetoed them and been overruled or allow them to become law a week later without his signature. [19:11] DaemonFC So it was like a comedy of unforced errors. [19:11] DaemonFC And it was just so bizarre. [19:12] DaemonFC Like, he should have vetoed it and said "I tried but there were so many Democrats in the legislature that I couldn't stop it. We have checks and balances and I am not the entire government. I tried.". [19:13] matey right?
