  • This could be a quick process, if they had the votes for it, the support of House/Senate leadership, and they tried to.

    There’s nothing in the constitution or law that forces them to spend a long time on investigations, scheduling, and votes. If they really wanted to, they could have the House vote on it one day, the Senate vote on it the next day, and have the criminal out on the 3rd day.

    Yes, it won’t at all happen that fast. Mainly because they’ll (correctly or not) figure that they need time to build and airtight, convincing case in order to get enough Republicans on board. But, really, everyone in Congress – Republicans included – already know that this administration broke many laws at many points. And they don’t have to prove it like in court – all it takes is a vote … and votes can be done quickly when they’re motivated to do so.




  • You don’t unwind 2+ years of malfeasance and corruption quickly.

    You don’t need to.

    You just need one simple and solid charge that will stick for an impeachment. Impeach the fuckers, and then worry about unraveling the rat’s nest of corruption after they’re out of office. When it comes to criminal cases later, then is the time for going slowly and methodically and leaving no stone unturned. But for now, we need swift, decisive action based on the most important and obvious points.


  • so they don’t try to block them from being sworn in

    They’ll do that regardless.

    But, fun fact, it doesn’t matter if the new batch of congresscritters is sworn in or not – the ones who were voted out stop being congressmen on January 3rd, whether they have a replacement sworn in or not. No matter if their replacements get sworn in or not, they have to go. (Although I’m unclear on the subject of successful incumbents. They certainly don’t have to leave, since they won reelection … but do they need to be sworn in again after every election, or do they just keep going on like before?)

    But if they try to play too many games with the ‘swearing in’ nonesense, the incoming congressmen can play hardball right back. There’s no constitutional requirement for being sworn in, not even a rule of Senate/House procedure. It’s just traditional that new congressmen get sworn in before participating. But if they’re playing games with not letting the new ones get sworn in, they could also just show up and start participating/voting anyway. Maybe swear themselves in first, and dare the rest to stop them. The current batch of Republicans have violated plenty of norms and traditions already, and if they try to use this norm/tradition as a stumbling block, then let’s violate this one too.



  • That’s just because ZFS’s disc cache shows up as application-used memory, instead of disc cache memory. (Disc cache memory is often reported in system monitor tools as ‘free’ memory, because it can be freed up as soon as you need it. ZFS’s disc cache works the same way, but it’s not reported separately to the OS, so that makes it look like ZFS is using a shitload of RAM.) If it bothers you, you can set a maximum amount of RAM for ZFS to use, and that will clear it up. It will mean that your performance is slightly worse, though, because ZFS won’t be able to use disc caching optimally.







  • I just hate always being rushed rushed rushed. Always have to go faster. Click faster, move faster, make decisions faster. Faster faster faster.

    I want to play a strategy game, but at competitive levels, it’s less about strategic thinking and more about just memorizing what the ‘meta’ is, and then being able to execute that meta faster than the other guy. And all this rush and hurry all the time is just too much strain. I want to play games to relax, not to add stress. I get plenty of stress from real life.
