@dogzilla @FlashMobOfOne I suppose my disagreement lies in that the executive branch cannot unilaterally close down the courts in a government shutdown (as I understand it).

Normal judiciary shit definitely becomes more difficult during this period, but my take is that I see a 30-day shutdown preferable to having the Senate "legitimize" items in the CR, which gives the courts a harder time in the long run.

I also think that the government shutdown will impact the ability of the various agencies to effectively litigate cases. Which I'm ok with since they are the defendants in these cases. Private practices possibly gain some leverage in this because they can keep working during that period.

@dangillmor I've been "Adding a Missing Place" to it named the "Gulf of Mexico". I think if enough people do it...well, I dunno what will happen, but why not?

@BeAware I'm always unsure what the "normal" is for the amount to remember. And then I randomly remember Cindy got mad at me in high school for asking to borrow a pencil, but I don't know where my other sock is.

@BeAware Have you tried melatonin? A small amount works for me. Then the waking thoughts turn into anxiety dreams, but at least I sleep.

@BeAware It's tough if you have a career that rewards the anticipation and mitigation of problems.

@AnthonyJK I've tried using WSL, and I've heard people say, "Oh, it's gotten way better!". But there are some things, like Yubikey pass through or doing not-usual network things that are difficult to configure -- at least for me.

My answer is to have a NUC and a KVM switch. Not elegant, I know.

@patrickcmiller "Uh, is it first rule priority or last rule priority...um, do the rules stack or is it first matching? Oh well, YoLO!"
