    I've had kbin show me a 500 once or twice, but it was because my ethernet cable had slipped the socket.

    I've gotten more complex custom errors of indeterminate type, generally when posting, but typically the error is in error, as the post completes as expected.

  • I told my wife this morning, I think his lil plan is to go on TV for this press conference, declare the whole thing a witch hunt, claim it's because Jack Smith and all his mean judge friends have a boner for Trump, and everything's fine, it's all a sham.

    He'll think this completely absolves him, because he has come out and told 'the truth' and all, and he'll waddle off back to Mar-a-lago, where the Deputies will be waiting for him.

    It's cool, user @djidane535 dropped some truth on me, and it finally soaked in.

  • How do I make a multipart post in a magazine?

  • @djidane535

    Interesting but not really helpful. I found something in a recent FAQ that says I should add an article instead of a post, but the option to add an article is not on the menu on my instance, as it is in their screenie

    Also I'm a mastodon user, and my account there is the focus of my microblogging activity. The user there follows this account, so my posts here, show up there. The short story is, the microblog here is essentially a right pain in my ass.

    At least now I know what it is.

  • Trump Violates Court Order with Attack on Federal Judge

  • @CoffeeAddict

    He's facing consequences now. The conspiracy trial he was trying to have moved to January just got it's schedule compressed down to 'today', the hearing got immediate billing, all witnesses were heard immediately and state organized crime charges leveled instanter.

    This is, "having fucked around" he has now "found out".

    "Trial" is incorrect. In my excitement I conflated "trial" and "hearing". That I got it wrong before coffe though, doesn't change how fucked this guy is.

    Edited accordingly.

    Addendum:There are warrants out for him and 18 accomplices. They have 3 days grace to turn themselves in. Anyone who doesn't turn themselves in by then will be subject to arrest.

    They gave him enough time with socmed to finish hanging himself.

  • WOOPS, it's witness tampering in the state trial, not the federal one. Prior comment still applies.

  • Trump tells Georgia witness not to testify

  • This should be the one that gets him jailed. My guess is, it'll be a significant fine; but any of us would be in jail already.

    @readbeanicecream @exscape

    According to my understanding, beyond the event horizon, gravity is infinite.

    I am not a physicist - I'm a guy who read Prof. Hawking. Given the nature of llight vis a vis observation, inside the singularity, mass and gravity approach infinity.

    Mass bends spacetime into gravity. Gravity bends light. Infinite mass > infinite gravity > stops light == singularity.

    Note that things happening near the singularity are not the same as things that happen beyond the event horizon.
