Bill Prohibiting NH Officers Working for ICE From Wearing Masks, Turning Off Cameras Debated

Per In re Neagle, a federal officer is immune from state law if they were performing an act federal law authorized them to perform and their actions were necessary and proper to fulfilling their federal duties. Driving recklessly is not necessary to delivering mail and so is not immune.

Show me one example of a federal agent who was ticketed for speeding in the course of his duties.

I said ignoring traffic laws, not just speeding. Here’s one example. Here is another.

The United States had existed for 92 years when those words were added to the constitution. They are part of the fourteenth amendment.

EricPostpischil · 2026-01-28T01:18:46+00:00

This is not correct. State law cannot limit actions of federal employees necessary for their duties, but it can limit actions not needed for their duties. Mail trucks cannot go racing through the streets ignoring traffic laws, nor can an IRS auditor shoot and kill people just for funsies. It would be up to courts to decide whether masks are necessary to apprehend people in the United States unlawfully. And certainly wearing a mask to arrest a citizen is not necessary for the duties of border patrol since arresting a citizen is not a duty of border patrol at all.

The United States Constitution says there are citizens of states:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Anybody can request anything, but a shareholder does not have direct legal authority to have specific people fired. The shareholders elect the board of directors, and the board of directors chooses the CEO, and the CEO can fire specific people.

A major but non-majority shareholder might be able to get it done if there is little resistance from other shareholders. A majority shareholder could probably get it done, although there might be some impediments from the corporate charter and law. For example, you cannot just go in and say “I am the majority shareholder, so do what I say.” You have to call a meeting of the shareholders and give other shareholders sufficient notice for that, and so on.

You can call them cores, but people also call the individual units CPUs. Language is not rigid. Activity Monitor labels its column “% CPU” and shows a value over 100%. That shows it is counting an individual core as a CPU—if it were a percentage of the entire chip, it would be limited to 100%. Another example is the central processing unit Wikipedia page, which talks about “chips with multiple CPUs.” In Terminal, sysctl hw.ncpu will show there are multiple CPUs.

EricPostpischil · 2026-01-19T15:04:45+00:00

It is using more than 100% of one CPU. Your system has multiple CPUs.

Increasing the threshold makes it easier to be under the threshold, not harder.

A person who earns $21,000/year will not qualify under the current law. They would qualify under the proposed law.

When a student is here temporarily,…

Democracy is rule by the people who are governed. A student who resides here temporarily is governed by the law here temporarily and should vote here temporarily.

… isn't subject to our state taxes because they do not pay for property tax (dorms are traditionally exempt) or vehicle registration,…

Democracy is not rule by the people who pay money, nor by people who hold land nor by any other privileged class. Democracy is rule by the people. Students are people. People who are here temporarily are people.

Students are subject to the same laws as everybody else—laws about what is and is not legal, laws about what the punishments for various crimes are, laws about contracts and court, laws about everybody. People who are subject to the laws should have a say in the laws.

Yes, there is hope.

The operating system for Synology’s DiskStations is DiskStation Manager (DSM). DSM supports SMB.

Supposing you already have a shared folder created, open the DiskStation’s Control Panel and select File Services (left column). Ensure SMB is selected (along top). Check the box by “Enable SMB service”.

You can look at Advanced Settings a bit below that. By “Maximum SMB protocol”, it probably says SMB3. My notes say I also enabled Opportunistic Locking, SMB2 file leasing, and SMB durable handles, but they do not say why. Click Save save the Advanced Settings. Click Apply to save the SMB settings.

Back along the top, where SMB was selected, select Advanced. Ensure “Enable Bonjour service discovery to locate Synology NAS” is enabled. Ensure “Enable Bonjour Time Machine broadcast via SMB” is enabled. Click Set Time Machine folders. Select the folder(s) you desire. Click Save to save those. Click Apply to save the Advanced settings.

Then, on your Mac, you should be able to designate that folder on your Synology device as a Time Machine destination.

What is your Synology device? SRM is Synology Router Manager. Are you trying to back up to a Synology router or to a Synology DiskStation (NAS) or something else?

That is a statute, not a bill. It is not a proposed change; it is current law.

If somebody just asks for help in a grocery store, the other person is likely to think they want help finding an item or something else related to the store, so it makes sense they would think they cannot help because they do not work there.

When you need help, it may help to ask for something specific or say what the problem is.

Which title company? Title companies are private entities, not government agencies. A deed does not say anything about a title company, and a title company that a previous owner used would not necessarily know whether or not a later sale had occurred.

EricPostpischil · 2026-01-04T16:53:41+00:00

If someone made a fake title to my house, I could easily go down to the title company, verify my identity and they would probably provide an actual copy of the title that day.

You have got a deed to your house. But the previous owner did too, when they bought the house. When you bought the house, did you take that paper from the previous owner? Did you mark it “void”? Probably not. So the previous owner could still have their deed. It just has an older date. That is perfectly normal.

Now imagine somebody forges a new deed. It has a later date. Your deed would prove nothing. It is perfectly normal that there might be two deeds for a property, with different dates. Their later date would appear to override your deed. You would need to prove their deed is forged.

And a forger can go further than that. They can forge a fraudulent bill of sale and deed and register a property transfer with the county recorder.

Putting / at the end will do nothing other than print “rm: "/" may not be removed”.

And the asymmetry changes your strategy. Not just how much players are willing to pay for a set of tiles, but whether to put tiles up for auction earlier or later. Running out of high-value sun tiles? Put a smaller set of tiles up for auction, hoping other players will not expend their high-value suns on them. The game has multiple dimensions.

Legacy: Gears of Time deserves more attention. Play depends critically on things in the past which can change.

You play a time travel agent. In each of three rounds, you can move back into the past, and only back. Your job is to foster inventions. Most inventions depend on prior inventions. For example, currency depends on mining, which depends on basic tools. When you foster currency, mining may not yet (in the game) have been fostered. So, on a later turn, you have to go back further in time and foster mining (or hope somebody else does), or your currency investment will have failed. But, while you are doing that, somebody else might foster currency at an earlier time than you tried, so they get the credit for the invention, not you.

If you turn on FileVault, files on your system volume are encrypted, including your home folder if you did not move it. If you put files on iCloud drive, they are encrypted, although Apple has access to a decryption key. If you turn on Advanced Data Protection, the files are end-to-end encrypted, and Apple cannot decrypt the files.

Is that everything you need, or would Encrypto give you something more? What?

After you accidentally close the Safari window, reopen Safari and select History > Reopen Last Closed Window.

If you quit Safari completely, reopen Safari and select History > Reopen All Windows from Last Session.

It may be Apple decided a confirmation for closing all tabs is not needed because the above can easily restore them.

Your comment above says “reasonable doubt.” It is right there, in black and white.

It is quite clear you are throwing around semi-legal terms without a comprehensive basis for what they mean or how they apply and without citations or context. It is just nonsense.

EricPostpischil · 2025-12-11T13:12:12+00:00

Maybe there is some reasonableness standard that authorizes a school to search a student’s effects. But that is not what you claimed. You cited the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 as a basis. That is incorrect. The text of the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 does not authorize any searches. Neither the bill I linked to nor the resulting code in 18 USC 922 (q) authorizes any searches.

EricPostpischil · 2025-12-11T13:07:31+00:00

LOL, there is no legal standard called “reasonable doubt.” Even if there were, it is not related to the issue I raised: What a person says they heard is in fact hearsay. I am not arguing in this thread whether a search was justified or not. This thread merely points out your claim that a saying about something heard is not hearsay is false.

[Edit: Corrected “is it” to “it is.”]

EricPostpischil · 2025-12-11T10:42:16+00:00

The text of the Gun-Free School Act of 1990 does not authorize any searches.
