CVE's almost never matter. It's always something like "An attacker with root permissions and physical access to the machine might be able to recover your Facebook password in only 12 hours with this new speculative execution attack!."

It's unclear what's actually going on with this. I head from one guy who is close enough to one of the cartels that that specific cartel is no longer handling fentanyl. It accidentally kills too many clients.

Those farms likely glow. While it's the sort of thing that cartels would do, the SoCal mountains are a very risky place to put an operation like that.

Cartel members dress like regular people. That's one of the dangerous things about them; you never know who is and who isn't until it's too late. They're proper mafias, just like the Italian mob, not two-bit gang-bangers who wear color-coded bandannas and tattoo their zipcode onto their forehead. If some shit local gang is caught starting fires, the cartel just might punish them. You'd never hear about it though.

Er, I don't know if any cartel caught anyone. They probably didn't. This is all theoretical, and in response to the silly notion that the cartels would start such a fire.

Yes. I don't think they'd care to spend resources hunting for arsonists, but if a cartel happened to catch one incidentally, that guy's going to have a very bad next couple of days.

The cartels are businessmen first and foremost. Burning down your customers' houses is bad business. If anything, they'd torture to death any arsonist they caught for costing them the sales to all those rich Hollywood celebs.

But won't cut up their credit cards and use cash.

Not really. I have a couple silver coins. The point about paying with physical cash isn't that it's resistant to inflation, rather that it enables the small business you're buying from to choose to not report that sale to the government. "Cash transaction," just like how you don't tell the IRS about when you sell your old computer on Craigslist for $1000. When everyone uses cards, everyone pays the maximum taxes.

Completely nuts. You have to pay the credit card fees on top of everything too.

Cash payments chain the whole way down. Small businesses can't pay unofficial employees under the table because they don't have any gray market profits to do so with. This means you can't get a job under the table, which means you're paying maximum income taxes and your employer is paying maximum employment taxes and a bunch of money to accountants for compliance and filings.

This is a test. Please do not like and repost this response.

I long suspected that @freepatriot is a bot, but reserved the possibility that he's just some super autistic guy.

The cartels would torture any arsonist that the cartel happened to catch for interfering with their business. They torture people to death for far less all the time.

Better include grossly negligent manslaughter

Men followed order in Vietnam and Korea. Most of them at least, and that's what matters.

"Don't care, it still flies. Get back in the cockpit, you're taking off as soon as its refueled."

No, that's following orders. The orders from above were to attack, so we attack. Plane's got a scuff mark on it? Too bad. Pick up your rifle, soldier, and back to the front.

This is what actually happened in actual wars. In fact, the US nearly lost a carrier to this sort of shit. High command wanted to keep attacking faster than they could make new ammo and sent some bombs well past their expiration date. They bombs were leaking their stabilizers and many people raised concerns about it, but orders are orders.

According to Lieutenant R. R. "Rocky" Pratt, a naval aviator attached to VA-106,[15] the concern felt by Forrestal's ordnance handlers was striking, with many afraid to even handle the bombs; one officer wondered out loud if they would survive the shock of a catapult-assisted launch without spontaneously detonating, and others suggested they immediately jettison them.

Orders are orders in the end.
