@pluralistic : "New Mexico passed a law banning armed federal officials from showing their fascist asses anywhere within 50 feet of a polling place or ballot drop-box. ... what the *fuck* are the other blue statehouses waiting for? This is a white-hot, hair-on-fire emergency. As Blanc says, if we wait until November to find out what Trump is going to do, it'll be too late. The time to act is *now*."

Vote suppression is the all the dying GOP has left. Deny it to them.

I Decompiled the White House's New App

The official White House Android app has a cookie/paywall bypass injector, tracks your GPS every 4.5 minutes, and loads JavaScript from some guy's GitHub Pages.

The Angle of Repose
My dad was a mechanical engineer who retired early due to blindness. In his retirement he translated technical documents from German to English with the help of my mom, a tape recorder and a speech card in his XT computer. While translating a patent application for John Deere Co, he saw the claim of using the Angle of Repose to measure properties on MOVING FARM EQUIPMENT. He had to tell his Deere contact how that wouldn't work due to vibration effecting how a material piles on any surface. They abandoned that US patent claim.
Thats how and why I learned the name of this phenomenon.
