…goes much deeper than Merrick Garland.
Though, as noted there, that doesn’t mean that he shouldn’t be impeached. He clearly lied to Congress.
[Update a few minutes later]
The NYT confirms the story, though it buries it deep.
SpaceX Update
Stephen Clark has moved over to Ars Technica to help Eric Berger cover the increasingly busy space industry. He has the latest on plans for the next Starship attempt.
Intermittent Fasting
I do this, but not to lose weight. I generally only eat once a day, in the evening.
Who Let The Dogs Out?
CBS is going after Hunter and Garland. Is the dam about to break?
Leftism And Long Covid
The correlation is strong. Perhaps leftism could be considered a form of mental illness.

Computer Weirdness
Since a recent update, my desktop has quit booting. I just says “Loading kernel,” with kernel number, and does nothing else. What’s worse is that I can’t even boot it from an external drive that I boot a Windows laptop with when I want to run Linux on it. The desktop doesn’t even recognize it as boot media, though it continues to work fine with the laptop.
[Sunday-afternoon update]
Patricia’s Windows 10 machine is the same MSI motherboard as mine, and I confirmed that it, too, does not recognize the external drive as bootable. I went back into Windows, and created a live-USB for Fedora, which did boot into both her machine and mine.
So, I decided to just create a new installation. I put it on a spare Samsung 250G SSD that I had. It has no problem installing it, but when I tried to boot from it, at first I couldn’t even see it in the boot menu in the BIOS. I changed from UEFI to CSM, at which point it appeared, and I made it the first boot. But when I tried to boot it, I got the same error message as when I tried to boot from the external drive. The machine continues to not recognize a Fedora boot disk as bootable.

[Update Monday afternoon]
OK, after talking to MSI, I found out that I had been setting the boot order wrong, and finally got it working. I’m pretty much back to normal, except I need to clone the Samsung over to my M.2. If I didn’t keep /home on a separate drive, though, I’d be in a world of hurt.

The New Russian Revolution
If I recall my Prince (the book, not the pop star) correctly, there was some pretty strong advice against using mercenaries. But Vlad may have been too busy offing his enemies to read Machiavelli.
