"NSA Warning—Reboot Your Internet Router Now"

I thought I'd seen it all. Is this intentional misinformation, idiocy, or more trade war BS?

While I'll give you that in certain instances a reboot may half-resolve the issue where the malware hasn't infected the flash chip itself this certainly won't fix the vulnerability that enabled the infection to happen in the first place. Usually a reboot "solves" the problem where a device has run out of memory and isn't behaving as it should, and similar sorts of issues that have nothing to do with malware. It definitely won't stop or help with swarms of routers running malware and being co-opted into use for botnet related activities.

If this is the advice our government is giving to end users the NSA needs to be disbanded.

The US government has effectively outlawed real solutions by forcing manufacturing to the US. The problem with malicious software on routers has nothing to do with where the devices are manufactured and everything to do with outdated firmware and manufacturers who refuse to fix the bugs in their products. Even if we're going to wrongly assume this is an issue of backdoors the solution isn't brining manufacturing "home". It's random sampling / vetting of the firmware on the routers post-manufacture that US companies are importing haven't been tampered with from the state their firmware was suppose to be. That's literally a matter of hooking up a chip clip to the flash chip and grabbing the firmware from it. Then checking it against a signature and public key of the manufacturer. Of course I'm not sure if any companies are even signing their firmwares. I can only speak to that of which my company does for its routers (ThinkPenguin, Inc). We have signed firmware.

Added a second boss. This boss is supposed to shoot after a certain number of jumps, but I haven't implemented it yet.

@BuckyandtheKid "Fuel shortages will lead to defacto climate lockdowns too. Funny how he's playing into the globalist agenda despite you thinking he's somehow stopping globalism."

President Trump has gotten Rid of the Green New Deal Regulations Bull Schiff. He's done even more than this.

"On January 20, 2025, Trump signed Executive Order 14154, "Unleashing American Energy," which halted all spending on initiatives labeled as part of the "Green New Deal"

The most significant regulatory action occurred on February 13, 2026, when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under Administrator Lee Zeldin, finalized the rescission of the 2009 Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding—a legal foundation used by prior administrations to regulate emissions. This repeal, described by the administration as the single largest deregulatory action in U.S. history, also eliminated federal greenhouse gas emission standards for vehicles from model years 2012 to 2027 and beyond, removed off-cycle credits like the "start-stop" feature, and aimed to save taxpayers over $1.3 trillion."

Super Mario Galaxy Movie spoilers 

So I might as well give my general thoughts on the movie, but I don't have an overall opinion on the movie as a whole and I'd rather talk about individual moments of the movie.

* Skipping all the way to Galaxy - I think doing a Mario World or Land movie before this one would've been better, but I guess Nintendo doesn't want to spend the next couple of decades churning out Mario movies.
* Yoshi's appearance - I don't like his portrayal because the games establish that he can speak in full sentences (though they have never been fully voiced as far as I know), but he only says his name in the film. He also spent brief time in the "real world", and that is the only part of the film that portrays it. Which is a shame because it also suggests that government agents in the real world are currently hunting any creatures from the Mushroom Kingdom after the first movie.
* Fox McCloud - I think it would have been better if his appearance was unannounced and they made it a surprise cameo. It's out right stated that he is from a different universe. Honestly, he is the most logical choice for a crossover cameo given that he is from a sci-fi franchise and Metroid, F-Zero, and presumably Kirby take place in a version of our future so their appearances would even make less sense. But despite all of that, they missed an opportunity to bring back Tatanga from Super Mario Land, but nobody remembers him (yet the first movie brings back Spike who hasn't been relevant since Wrecking Crew).
* Peach and Rosalina are sisters - This is the twist of the movie and I don't like it. For one, the first movie suggested that she is actually from the real world, being the token human and knowing what "human" means, but she is actually from some dwarf planet with Rosalina and they were the only inhabitants on that small planet, being created directly from stardust.
* Daisy's cameo - Oh yeah, she appears in the post-credits scene, hinting her role in the next movie. I wonder how she is going to be portrayed, given how both Peach and Rosalina are tomboyish in this movie.

So, I just watched the Super Mario Galaxy Movie and I was disappointed that despite taking place in space, they didn't include Tatanga in the movie.

If you were going to skip a Super Mario Land movie, you could have at least included him instead of fucking Fox McCloud.

Like Meatless Tuesdays ... I do wonder how effective it will be this time around without the mass trauma fear of the scamdemic. I'm going to guess not very effective, and I'm sure the controllers suspect and will monitor that.

So it seems like the true purpose of this war is to issue another global lockdown, this time because of (fake) oil shortages. People are already proposing alternate day driving and mandatory bussing in some places.

Also, remember that oil is used for electricity in some places so expect rationing for that too.

They will try COVID lockdowns 2.0 based on artificial energy shortages. There are credible reports that many tankers are not allowed to dock at Western European ports to create these shortages. The EU's 'energy minister' is making announcements in this direction, and Starmer is looking for similar measures. Total disaster.

Is Lockdown 2.0 really about oil? ⛽🛑

The International Energy Agency has dropped a paper titled 'Sheltering from Oil Shocks,' and the implications are striking.

Someone is exploiting old people and making them believe crypto is the devil and in so doing trying to get Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies effectively banned in New Hampshire through absurd regulation. The senate hearing was packed with old people from AARP and passed the senate disturbingly!

Help save cryptocurrency in New Hampshire!

The address for the house version of the bill is Tuesday April 7th at: 1 Granite Place, Concord, NH 03301.

The hearing is on house bill SB482. "Granite Place" Room 159.

This bill will mandate full KYC for cryptocurrency vending machines, put a $2000 per day limit on purchases, put a 14 day hold on your funds, and make vending operators liable for 3rd party scams if users send their crypto to scammers. It will also mandate chainalysis.

This effectively this bans the sale of cryptocurrency through vending machines as it's economically infeasible to ensure little old ladies buying crypto don't send their crypto off to scammers after acquisition. If even a small percentage of users did so it would completely eliminate the margins on selling and therefore WILL put every vending machine operator out of business in New Hampshire.

The scary thing is this already passed the senate.

It's extraordinarily important that everyone who cares about financial freedom show up to the hearing and testify against this bill. Testifying against the bill is easy. You just sign up and tell the reps why you think this bill should not be passed.
