Yeah, that's what concerns me. It definitely sounds plausible and I'm not an expert in the legalities of this, so from my outside (Australian) perspective this very much looks like a viable path for the GOP to take power. I haven't followed much of Johnson's activities either, but from what I've seen of him he strikes me as very dodgy.... much like our ex PM Scott Morrison.

Somebody please tell me that this guy is wrong.

Very likely to be the physical force applied by the headphones, depending on how they are worn. I cannot use certain designs because they become uncomfortable even if only worn for short periods.

This is utterly disgusting and I hope the officers involved in this appalling abuse of power lose their positions.

It serves as yet another example of why the neurodiverse community should never trust law enforcement.

Thanks for that. A very interesting read; I am inclined to believe the author, given how they describe the failure of processes.

The thing is, though, I think most (or at least enough) voters actually do want this. Trump is clearly the preferred Republican candidate and that's been obvious for some time. On the Democrats side, Biden is the lead candidate and likewise, it has been obvious that he was likely to be it for months. Ergo, it's a Biden-Trump rematch.

Obviously nobody is happy about this, but it's hardly surprising.

Well, I guess they had to come up with something to explain the fallout from COVID since they simultaneously claim that either (a) it's not real or (b) it's just a mild flu.

Indeed. I'd hardly classify this as going "rogue"; rather, inadequate guard rails in place for this application.

The browser addon "AdNauseum" can help with that, although it's not a complete solution.

Ugh. If I need to collaborate with my colleagues, I'll visit their office; I don't need (or want) to hear every phone call they make or their music escaping their headphones.

I cannot stress enough how much I hate open plan offices and am so glad I do not work in one.

I really hope you're right about him losing the general election.

That is better than a fuselage failure, but still disturbing if you're correct - surely there are checks for exit door plugs since it would be at higher risk of failure.
