A Tennessee man who dragged a police officer into a mob of rioters,
initiating one of the most harrowing acts of violence during the U.S.
Capitol attack, was sentenced on Thursday to more than seven years in
prison.

Albuquerque Cosper Head declined to address the court before U.S.
District Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced him to seven years and six
months of imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release.
The judge said Head was responsible for “some of the darkest acts
committed on one of our nation’s darkest days.”

Head’s prison sentence is six months shy of the statutory maximum in his
case. It’s also the second-longest so far among hundreds of cases
arising from the Capitol siege on Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of Trump
supporters stormed the building as Congress prepared to certify
President Joe Biden’s electoral victory.

“The dark shadow of tyranny unfortunately has not gone away,” Jackson
said. “There are people who are still disseminating the lie that the
election was stolen. They’re doing it today. And the people who are
stoking that anger for their own selfish purposes, they need to think
about the havoc they’ve wreaked, the lives they’ve ruined.”

Head engaged in some of the most barbaric violence during the Capitol
riot, repeatedly assaulting police officers who were guarding a tunnel
on the Lower West Terrace, according to prosecutors.

That's like saying, "Thank you Jesus!", when you ordered a filet
mignon, and they brought you a tofu burger......and they wasted some

Sometimes, that tangled web you weave is much too tangled to be
perceived - so to speak, and I'm not just whistling Dixie though I might
be slinging the arrows of outrageous misfortune.

So look.....at the end of the day going, like, you know, forward, I
allege that you're not as smart as I like, you know, thought you were.
So in the passage of time, I'm going to have to, like, you know,
reorient and literally revisit the calculus of my metrics of your
intellectual efficaciousness in the current context of your responses
to my responses.

Meanwhile, things Starlinkish are transitorily looking up over here in
Crackerland. My average download speed for October is 100.32727. Must
be related to all those additional sats that Musk has put into the sky
recently. Also, starlink.sx alleges that I regularly have 7-9 sats in
range up there, whereas I used to have only 3-4. And optimistically
assuming that the magic dishy automatically switches from an
obstructed sat to an unobstructed one when necessary, I speculate that
my obstructionist pine trees will be rendered less efficacious in the
passage of time.

That may not last:

It looks like SpaceX is preparing to impose high-speed data caps for
Starlink users in the US, possibly to address congestion woes facing the
satellite internet service.

The company quietly added a section to the Starlink terms of
service(Opens in a new window) that discusses potentially slowing down
internet speeds for subscribers once they exceed a monthly limit, which
was noticed by(Opens in a new window) a user on Reddit.

According to the new policy, residential Starlink users will receive a
“monthly allocation of ‘Priority Access,’" with fast internet speeds.
But once they exceed an unspecified limit, speeds could be reduced if
the surrounding area is already full of other data-hungry Starlink
subscribers.

“Under such plan, after you have used your monthly limit of Priority
Access data, you will continue to have an unlimited amount of ‘Basic
Data’ for the remainder of your billing cycle,” the company says. “With
‘Basic Data’ your access will no longer be prioritized over traffic
generated by other customers during periods of network congestion.”

Speeds for the Basic Data plan could get slow enough that the policy
warns: "In times of network congestion, users with Basic Access may
experience slower speeds and reduced performance compared to Priority
Access, which may result in degradation or unavailability of certain
third-party services or applications."

Since it's an unspecified limit, maybe I can self-specify my limit.

Maybe it won't affect me too much. Since March, I'm averaging 47
gigs/month, with a high of 62 back in May. And you left this part out
(probably in a pathetic and vindictive attempt to increase my average
angst):
"Your usage between 11PM and 7AM will not count toward Priority Access
data limits."

If literally necessary, I can make minor alterations to my usual usage
times to reschedule heavy use to after 11PM. I'm usually up until
4-5AM anyway.......
...........
....................oh wait. I just poked around and found this:
---------------------------------------
The fair use policy stipulates that all users will continue to have
unlimited data, with priority given to users consuming 250GB data or
less, the report said, citing an email sent to French customers of
Starlink. Those whose data usage exceeds 250GB/month may experience
slower speeds during periods of network congestion.
--------------------------------------
Unless that just applies to France, this discussion just became
irrelevant for me. Even if I stayed up for 22 hours out of every 24, I
don't think I could figure out a way to efficaciously use 250 gigs/month.

I don't know exactly how Starlink works, but I speculate that
throttling me will not include reducing the number of sats that I can
use. If that's the case, throttling me won't have anything to do with
my obstructionist trees. With all those additional sats up there - and
with more coming - I'm down to about 30 sec of obstruction in a
12-hour period. Besides, my wife likes the longleaf pines, and if I
cut anymore down, she'll be the one doing the throttling.
