Yes.

What are you talking about? Trump is isolating us from the rest of the world day by day.

We’re rapidly approaching the level of Russia, as considered on the world stage. Nothing about what is happening is a good thing. Nothing.

Because we elected a fascist clown to lead us.

The purpose of the flight of arrows was to blanket the area ahead of an army advancing to meet the front line of your army. It was mathematically, the only way to have a chance at killing a large number of targets, as being accurate at that range was nearly impossible, even for the best longbowman.

So they went with numbers over precision. This also allowed them to effectively slow down the pace of the advancing frontline if every time they loose their arrows, they all have to stop and take cover.

It has a tertiary goal of likely killing any wounded still on the ground. It’s not a technique you’d use when your forces have fully engaged as it’d kill just as many of your units as the enemy’s.

Finally, it could be used in strategic encounters to force the enemy to stagger/get out of position if you could cause just one part of their advancing line to stop, it’d essentially break or weaken the enemy’s frontline.

Sure, but speaking as someone with a lot of knowledge of IT systems, RPO, RTO, etc., I can say that the RPO of deleting your accounts gets worse and worse for the NSA or whoever to keep track of as time goes on.

They’re not the internet archive where they’ve got snapshots of all text ever said on the web. They’ve got crawlers and systems and storage tiers same as anyone else. They have to cycle those backups of their snapshots at some point, and that’s when you can eventually slide your way out of their window as long as the things you’ve said or done are no longer on the internet anywhere. They will eventually disappear from databases and systems like PRISM.

They should fingerprint you. Same as when you get a TSA precheck or global entry thing. There’s a meeting they have to do, in a passports case, usually at the post office, where they take your fingerprints as a part of the biometrics.

It’s pretty universal for holding a passport in most countries IIRC.

It’s possible that never happened, but they took my fingerprints both with a passport, my Global Entry, and a DOJ/FBI background check (this one I know takes your fingerprints for sure, had to get a few of these done for work related reasons).

Alternatively, do an fbi background check at your local post office, or get a passport and they’ll capture the same biometrics.
