Security is a privilege, not a mandate. Nixon dropped his in 1985.
Becoming a fugitive from justice would count as voluntarily giving up lots of privileges, the very least of which would be a publicly funded security detail.

You want to feel really old?
Unhinged entry level employee screaming and swearing and threatening the CFO and spit in her coffee mug.
An email went out to the whole company telling us not to let him in the building before he even got back to his desk to be fired. This is a software company, not exactly the type of place that has armed guards, but the (ex-military) information security dude set up in the area packing for a few weeks after that.
A rather obtuse reference to removing the OtherOS feature well after purchase. I tried to adapt it to game terms, but admit it’s a stretch.
Out of all the boardroom discussions, raising the price was actually the most consumer-friendly suggestion from Sony. Others included:
I keep wanting to think I’m an RPG kind of gamer, but in reality, all my favorites were from the SNES.
This is pretty typical. No movement for a few months, or even longer, then a flurry of activity over a period of a few weeks before another gap.
Trademark is generally industry specific, so you are probably technically correct. That may not be enough.
You can bet every Tupperware lawyer would be opposing that mark. You better have lots of money to spend years in court. Even when you’re in the right, you can still lose.
The product is supposedly 72" long. It looks like if he stretched his legs out straight, his feet would match up with the bottom of the mat pretty evenly, but the top would still barely come to his shoulders.
Either that dude’s 7 feet tall, or the product measurements are a lie. I thought it was a common tactic among companies to show their “big” products being used by particularly short people to make them look larger than they are. Marketing fail.
The idea is that it gives moderate republicans a path to voting for her.
Without the endorsements, they would feel like they’re betraying their principles and their party to vote D. With them, they can make a choice: Lots of rank and file voters will stick with Trump, but if a few party leaders, recently respected within the party, can vote for Harris, maybe that isn’t such a betrayal after all.
Will it change the vote by 5-10%? Basically zero chance of that. But if it swings a few thousand voters in some strategic areas, it can make a difference. It’s not a strategy aimed at very many people, but those votes on the margins matter.
I haven’t pushed it anywhere near 10,000 km, so I should be good, right?
Right?
If the race were between The Literal Devil ® and Jesus Christ (D), the vote total would be 45%-55% just based on the letter they choose to run after their name.
Policy doesn’t matter when people base their entire personality on their political party identification.
Sony bought all the “Xbox is dead” talk (true or false doesn’t matter, Sony believes it), and has started the high-end gaming console monopoly pricing.
Old, but still mostly relevant:
There are things I disagree with Harris about, but this cycle, I’m a single issue voter.
That issue is “never having to experience Trump in any office ever again.”
Hopefully my politics can be a little more nuanced next time.
The thing is, there will come a day when only bots will be able to get these right. The only way into a site will be to answer incorrectly, to prove you’re human.
In a world where every person is free to share their opinion directly to a mass audience, *we need trusted experts in various fields more than ever.
No, they’re not necessarily going to be concentrated only in traditional media, but if I’m looking something up real quick, I’m more likely to trust some random author on a real news site than some random author on social media. Maybe I’d still get wrong information sometimes, but the odds are better.
In this analogy, when you add a new book, only then is that “deleted” book actually removed and replaced with the new one. Until then, it just sits there waiting, but since nothing is pointing to it, it’s hard to find.
When someone recovers a file, what they’re doing is going book by book and reconciling the index to see if there’s anything missing. Since this book still exists, it can be recovered.
If we’re gaming the whole scenario out, I imagine it would go something like this.
None of his current convictions are expected to come with a custodial sentence, but say he loses the election, and the more serious trials are heating up. At that point, he knows he’s toast. 2028 is too late to run a fourth time; he’s got no more hail marys, so he dismisses his detail completely, retreats to Florida, and sneaks away to Saudi Arabia in the middle of the night.
He’s got a private jet, so getting out of the country shouldn’t be a huge problem. But I think you’re right that he has to set all this in motion before a guilty verdict is delivered. At that point, getting away from the secret service would be much more difficult.
