[00:19:00] <AlwaysNever> ted-ious: why is a roaming CPB patrol iterrogating a black Uber driver?, what's the reasoable suspicion there? are most Uber drivers illegal aliens, or are most blacks illegal aliens, or what?
[00:20:09] <AlwaysNever> or are most Uber drivers also criminals?
[00:58:45] <chromas> probably
[00:59:22] <chromas> of course, since we don't see the beginning of the interaction, there's no way to know what they were up to

[01:10:06] <AlwaysNever> oh, good, there's no way to know, we can sleep soundly then
[01:11:40] <chromas> Noooo! If we don't know then we have to assume the worst!!12
[01:36:48] <AlwaysNever> let's not panic, ICE ICE Gestapo is just doing their jobs, nothing else, move along
[03:30:25] <ted-ious> AlwaysNever: It's hard to be sure because this video was recorded by an unknown person with an unknown agenda and we don't have any idea what started the interaction.
[03:32:36] <ted-ious> But it looks like the uber driver is waiting just on the usa side of the mexican border which makes me think that people cross over there frequently and ice knows that many of them will be illegals.
[03:34:26] <ted-ious> Whenever I see video that doesn't show what started the conflict I'm automatically more skeptical of everything.

[04:47:25] <AlwaysNever> ted-ious: "looks like the uber driver is waiting just on the usa side of the mexican border", how does it look like that?
[04:48:43] <AlwaysNever> Looks like the Uber driver is in Minnesota to me

[10:36:36] <Ingar> got 503 while posting a comment
[10:37:07] <Ingar> now trying to refresh the post in a new browser window, it fetches the story, but not the comments
[10:37:52] <janrinok> Thanks Ingar. it is the 3rd one today and I am documenting exactly what is happening
[10:39:19] <Ingar> the volkswagen story fyi
[10:40:00] <janrinok> thx - It is more widespread than that though...
[10:44:48] <prg> Doesn't load at all for me at the moment, just getting a 500.
[10:45:13] <janrinok> 500 or 503?
[10:45:24] <prg> 500.
[10:45:32] <janrinok> interesting - thanks
[10:46:01] <janrinok> prg reports that he is seeing 500 and not 503
[10:47:49] <Ingar> my initial error was 504, but that was while trying to post a comment
[10:47:54] <Ingar> *erm 503
[10:48:23] <Ingar> then I tried to load https://soylentnews.org but I only got the story itself
[10:48:23] <systemd> ^ 03500 Internal Server Error
[10:48:28] <Ingar> lol
[10:48:37] <janrinok> I am only seeing 503
[10:48:55] <janrinok> ... and I have just received my first 500 !
[10:49:12] <Ingar> right now it reloaded fine
[10:52:08] <Ingar> the comment was actually posted too
[10:52:44] <janrinok> yep, it came up for about 30 seconds but has gone back to 503 again
[10:53:18] <janrinok> ... and it is back up again. It is trying to stabilise.
[11:00:47] <janrinok> 503
[11:22:35] <janrinok> It appears that the site is up at the moment - but for how long is anybody's guess.

[19:54:18] <janrinok> Significant movement of US tanker aircraft into airborne positions. Possible preparation for refuelling incoming strike???
[19:55:40] <janrinok> They are moving into the Arabian Sea region which they could be a possible route into Iran without overflying any other country.
[19:55:57] <janrinok> *which could be
[19:58:08] <janrinok> Trump is reported to be in the Situation Room in the Whitehouse
[19:58:25] <janrinok> This is all speculation on my part...
[19:59:43] <janrinok> One tanker has already gone radio silent
[20:01:05] <janrinok> Time for my bed - I will see what happens overnight...
[20:02:18] <janrinok> Second tanker goes radio silent
[20:06:39] <janrinok> third tanker goes radio silent
[20:20:55] <fab23> I guess the orange man needs something new talk about at the WEF next week.
[21:10:33] <Ingar> Iran bad
[21:13:07] <ted-ious> AlwaysNever: The barriers in the background could be from around a border checkpoint.
[21:13:16] <ted-ious> They might not be.
[21:13:39] <ted-ious> And the weather didn't look like minnesota in winter to me.
[22:53:57] <ted-ious> There are so many details that we don't know but for sure the ice agents had the right to demand that man show his driver's license.
