Damn, that should be a poster on every street corner down there in the US. (And probably up here in Canada too, leading to the election).
I saw them at a coffee shop in Field, BC a few years ago and asked the owner about them, as I thought at first they were maybe pasta or some kind of starch-based bioplastic (the holder was just labelled 'biodegradable straws'); they felt just like a good sturdy plastic straw. The ones I saw were translucent beige, but websites I find them on show opaque green straws so I don't know what the difference is there.
Why hemp straws aren't everywhere baffles me, they're perfect replacements.
It may become the duty of every software engineer at this time to offer their services to those who need security, to make custom solutions for those who require it.
Cypherpunks, arise!
You're such a cute chocolate bunny!
Now who's that glum one on the left?
:) So far at least, they've done good for me. I hope they stay that way, it's nice to have a tech store that seems to deal in decent stuff.
Which, if any, US states have 'stand your ground' style laws that apply to carjackings? Seems a test case is inevitable at this rate.
As someone once said, to paraphrase, "He has made his ruling, now let him enforce it."
What powers does the United States Marshal Service actually have? And does anyone there have the will to uphold whatever oaths they swore to fulfil their duty?
After all that has occurred already, so many lines drawn, then crossed, without consequence... I am skeptical.
EDIT: more than skeptical -- A whistleblower says Trump Sent the US Marshals to try to "Intimidate" Her so they've apparently decided already what side they're on. The USA as a democractic republic is already lost.

I like her podcast, "The Gargle".. yeah probably a prudent decision on her part.
Good questions, and important that we crowdsource verification of this. I saw some other posts on bsky that other people have received these emails, suggesting it is not a single instance. Implication is that it's a new automated effort, perhaps "by AI", to intimidate people en masse. But it could be fake, so the more examining it, the better.
EDIT: Link here to a thread, indicating others have received these emails: https://bsky.app/profile/reichlinmelnick.bsky.social/post/3lmljpkrdj22h
I was trying to sound the alert that this might be a thing -- BUT if it turns out to be fake, please by all means shout to the hilltops that it is bunk.
