When I go it all goes with me.

Not true at all, they’re not gonna bury you with it. Your bank accounts do go through a process after you depart. In many states if you die without a will or any other instructions they go through a long processes to identify your next of kin, and if they can’t identify it then the State takes it all.

You are much better off making a small will and leaving some simple instructions. If you have no relatives you trust with the money, leave it to a charity, like your local animal shelter if that’s your thing.

He did not say where the money would come from.

That’s because it’s a lie, just like the other times he lied.

The closest things we had back then was USENET (which required you to already have a connection to a provider that hosted a server) and BBS’s (which required you to dial in to connect to a local server, which proabably did not have its own USENET connection). I suppose there was also Compuserve, and QuantumLink/AOL, but they were metered dial-in providers, and when they finally connected to USENET, they ruined it.

There was no concept of a device that was always connected to the Internet in the 80s for most users. Most home computers were islands. Maybe if you were on a University campus you might have access to a computer with that permanent wired connection, but that was about it.

My kids have grown up in a world where everyone is connected, all the time. We’ll see what they do with it.

His issues flared up periodically

#1 thing is to make sure all accounts have beneficiaries. Accounts should have a primary beneficiary (your spouse), and if there is the ability to make a secondary beneficiary, see if they will divide it among any children you have . This is of paramount importance.

I know someone who passed away suddenly, and did not have a beneficiary on his “play money” stock account. His widow had to go through a lot of hoops to get access to it.

From there, I am a big believer in paper. I want those statements coming to the house. I file them all, and my wife knows where I put them. If I were to go poof , I’m sure she (with a lot of help from her siblings) would make sure nothing goes unpaid.

The Crypto is a different story, of course. When you can Be Your Own Bank, there are no beneficiaries or contingencies: it’s all keys. I have a bit of crypto in a HW wallet. But, years ago I moved some BTC to Coinbase, and it’s still there after all these years. I am thinking of moving the rest, just to make it easier for people to sell if I do go poof. Yeah , Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins. But it would be tragic if my crypto got lost because I bit it and nobody knew how to operate my wallet.

Little House on the Prarie

I don’t disagree, but the problem is that once you set up a particular oversight mechanism to monitor an official office like the Presidency, it is ripe for abuse. Just imagine what Republicans did to the Supreme Court, but laid as a boobytrap to cut any Democratic President off at the kneees. I think the Founders had it correct there, giving the Presidency broad powers but giving the Legislature equally broad oversight authority, because the Legislature answers to the People every two years.

It’s not the founders’ fault that the Republicans in Congress choose to abandon that oversight when the President breaks laws to push their collective agenda.

It’s served its purpose. It has funneled money directly into Trump’s pocket, by hosting LIV events at his golf courses. After laundering Saudi bribe money, the Saudis can now stick all the other investors with the bill.

I am surprised we still keep the UN HQ and General Assembly in NY, to be honest. Isn’t there enough space for all that in Geneva?

How long until the insanity ends?

Until we all stop being pussies

Naw, we’ll just deport them anyway, and take their beachfront property.

Trump can get some advice from Bibi

not necessarily, MAC is a layer 2 protocol, and your router (NAT or no NAT) operates on layer 3. Routers are supposed to overwrite the MAC address with their own when they forward a packet.

It’s always possible for the unit to put its own identfying info in the payload. But you didn’t do anything silly like register the TV, did you?

Then you can watch all the depraved porn you want to, and the Government will think it’s coming from the house with the insecure wifi

I only use the report button for obvious spam, and for some rulebreaking posts where the community has clear rules about what can be submitted, like communities that require links (no selfposts).

But most communities don’t necessarily have mods online the same time I am, so if someone is obviously spamming I block them, too.

A lot of good answers here, talking about the IP/port combinations used to identify both sides of a connection. But a key thing to understand is that the ports don’t need to be the same on both ends. On the Client side, the port number is often assigned just for that connection. (The standards call those “ephemeral” ports.) So, two independant connections from the same IP are differentiated by their client side IP ports.

It should also be noted that NAT works by translating both IP addresses and ports. So if those two connections are coming from behind the NAT and have different internal IPs but the same port, the NAT will translate that to two different ports from the public IP.

At least they used the word “rape” this time instead of seduce or something.

They are doing that here because the charge she was convicted under is colloquially known as statutory rape, which they mentioned in the article. The media has to be very careful about how they refer to people, who have not been convicted or otherwise admitted to something, because everyone here is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

And even when a ruling is made, the type of ruling matters. Der Gröpenfuhrer was found liable in a civil suit for sexual assault and defamation, but it was not a criminal case. And even the sexual assault didn’t meet NY State’s archaic standards for what is “rape”. And even the judge there admitted that the sexual assault, while not meeting NY State’s definition, was for an act that most people would call “rape”. Yet, the idiot can say “The court found I didn’t rape her”, and still be technically correct, even if they statement misses the point entirely.

“I asked someone to get me a list of cases similar"

I’ll bet that “someone” goes beep boop and uses emdashes
