I’m fortunate to have a gaming PC and a Switch but man, I didn’t just cancel - I yanked my Series S out from the entertainment center and sold it to a bud for $150. They jacked the price on that to $400 so wouldn’t be surprised if we see a bunch of used action between these two terrible choices

James Comey was just indicted by a grand jury.

Back in the Obama admin as FBI director, he defended government encryption backdoors by claiming that the DoJ would never abuse it's authority, and if it did, the courts would stop them.

Has he changed his mind?

The Packers having a scary defense is a lot like if you woke up one day and were suddenly able to speak Italian. Really cool, not anything you were expecting based on your experiences to date
