    Not really bad if you use a power-only cable. If the data pins aren’t even wired up, can’t move anything other than power.

    Not sure if that works with USB-C at anything other than legacy 500mA power draw though, probably not since the device can’t communicate for what it supports.






  • Exactly. Like the execution just a few days ago of Marcellus Williams in Missouri. Where there was alleged bias in jury selection and contamination of the murder weapon prior to trial. Even the current State Prosecutors in the same office that convicted him were calling for it to be stopped. Only the Attorney General’s office wanted it to continue.

    Or how about Khalil Divine Black Sun Allah a week ago in South Carolina. There was no forensic evidence, and video only showed two masked men. Where the only major evidence linking him to the crime was a witness testimony, which was provided only in exchange for leniency and later recanted stating that he had hidden the actual shooter’s identity fearing for his life, and that Allah hadn’t even been present. Again with the Attorney General’s office being the only ones insisting it be continued. Where prosecutors told the jurors they could convict him for murder simply if they believed he was present during the robbery, so the jury didn’t even have to find that he actually committed the murder.

    That’s twice in a week that Southern Republican states have executed probably innocent men, at the insistence only of the State AG… Which is a very political position, regardless of what they may want to claim.


  • Polanco, Mansour and Reilly are three of five police officers the city has fired for testing positive for cannabis, despite a state law that made cannabis legal and another law that stated police officers cannot be disciplined in any way for off-duty cannabis use.

    None of the five officers were accused of using cannabis on the job or being under the influence while working.

    If I’m reading this correctly, the issue is really just a federal law about Schedule I drug use. Cannabis is in the process of being rescheduled out of Schedule I by the DEA, currently in a mandatory 60 day public comment period. So if that were completed already, this wouldn’t even be an issue now.

    Seems pretty straightforward that this is the right call of what to do here since the only reason we’re even talking about it is bureaucratic delays with the federal process. Unless I’m missing some additional context here.
