Add in that's why they're against Mail in voting and making voting day a national holiday like most other countries.
They're trying to speedrun oligarchy and theocracy, legalize more gerrymandering, and consolidate power because they're slowly losing votes, and that means this is the best chance they'll have, for the rest of their party's existence.
satanic temple doesn't believe in satan anyway, they're solid.
84K that isn't going to go into a superPAC, to another candidate, to the RNC, or get spent to campaign for trump.
"It feels like the Berlin Wall of tech repair monopolies is starting to crumble, brick by brick."
Feeling like that just screams how corrupt our government is. Apple shouldn't get a vote, and their approval is the last thing that should be required to approve this.
Corporations should have to work in whatever environment consumer protection laws let them have, instead of dictating what protections we get.
It's because they don't see them as people, they see them as violent criminals that the world would be better off without.
If you step into their shoes for a minute, and one of the criminals you just successfully took off of the streets said they can't breathe, your first thought might be "good. Maybe that'll teach you a lesson about doing crimes in my neighborhood." Your second might be "I wish I could shoot you right now and get this over with, but maybe I'll get lucky and I can say I didn't hear you."
Note that the second one is inherently a stupid thought, there's body cams. That kind of logic didn't stop my 5-year-old from telling me she cleaned her room when I could easily check and find out she didn't, and it won't stop cops from fantasizing about everything working out here.
That's exactly why they do things that way. They're living out a fantasy world where there are no real rules and there are no consequences, and they have to live a balancing act between indulging in that and dealing with reality. Sometimes cops fail to balance that, and that's what we see here.
As for who trains them, it's their fellow cops. This isn't a bunch of individual fantasies, these men work and train and talk together about how it'd be so much better if they had less restrictions and just talk about that hypothetical world. New cops who have any kind of racism or similar "My group is best" can join the conversation and add in their own unique version to the group fantasy. New cops who aren't already racist, though, won't hear blatant racism. No, they will just hear about crime stats and reoffending rates, about cops that died trying to deal with all the supposed crime, and about how stopping them is justice and will help everyone, not just cops. In time they'll share the group fantasy, too, and stop seeing their victims as people. Occasionally someone just doesn't join in the fantasy and they get bullied until they quit.
This is why the easiest way to move forward from this kind of thing is to gut the police departments and start over, or we at least need bodycams that can't be turned off so easily.
Superconductors in general have no electrical resistance. That's basically electricity's friction.
Superconducting materials make the strongest electromagnets, they have big applications in quantum stuff (which I don't properly understand to try explaining), and they're used in something called a Tokamak, a specific kind of fusion reactor. They're useful in anything where electrical resistance is bad in general. When electricity is resisted, we lose some and get heat, so a superconducting wire would lose none and never heat up as a result of resistance.
Superconductors traditionally have to be super freaking cold. A lot of these applications can only be done with liquid nitrogen or even colder things, keeping them superconducting. You can do some things with pressure to help out with that, but the point is it's not easy to keep a material superconducting. This effort translates to costs, often prohibitive ones, as you need to actively keep these materials from collecting any heat.
If this research pans out, though, this kind of superconductor will just work at standard temperature and pressure. These could go into standard circuits, they can sit around without bleeding money on upkeep, they're very cool.
People are comparing them to transistors in part because before transistors we had vacuum tubes. Vacuum tubes do the same thing as a transistor, but they're effectively a lightbulb. They burn out, they produce heat, and they didn't miniaturize. Transistors were magic at the time because we could do so much more with them than vacuum tubes, and for superconducting metals, this is the same.
Well that's the point. It'd be bad to celebrate other human beings losing their homes.
That's why they're protesting outside the landlord celebration of people losing their homes again.
In my household we usually call those "Democrats".
I'd love real political parties, instead.
There are already 2 of them.
NACS, which is essentially the Tesla charger, was made available to other car manufacturers at no cost already, in 2022. Due to a few reasons, among them the existence of Tesla superchargers already deployed, a lot of companies have adopted this as their charger for newer cars.
Even if Tesla went down completely, their charger is already open, so nah I don't expect any changes based on this.
You didn't read the article, and fell for the headline. It's a security law, removing iMessage is enough to leave the encrypted messages market. They're still gonna sell phones.
He's taken a few steps to help his son which could make him an accomplice, but only if Hunter is a criminal.
They're stretching, but they know that. They just want something to stretch.
they can't change your job in order to get you to quit, though. You don't have to agree to new requirements, and can get unemployment because they fire you for not doing so.
In this case, this might still qualify as constructive dismissal. Even if it for sure would, not everyone will apply for unemployment, and they can still challenge it, causing delays and getting more people to not pursue it, ultimately resulting in a layoff that's cheaper than it's ought to be.
It is.
If he accepted it, he'd no longer have an argument with a strong foundation. He could still sue, but a lawyer could argue they already made it right.
Exactly the same logic as a 1$ inheritance, it shows that this was dealt with, so the law doesnt have to deal with it again.
It's because the general consensus is the same as trump/Biden, on a smaller scale. It's not a vote for that guy, it's a vote for "not Boebert".
I'd like it to be about that guy, but the fact is, it isn't.
That's normal.
My dad got sentenced to jail for 4 months and he asked the judge if he could do it starting November because his job was seasonal and the judge said sure, gave him an exact date.
Its weird, but for once this isn't a "rich people ignore the rules everyone else has to follow" thing.
Because companies insist on it and when growth stops they'll start to cannibalize their own company and charge more money for things that used to be free or fairly-priced until they price themselves out of the market entirely and die as a service.
Yay, capitalism!
It's not legal anymore but that doesn't mean you'll get caught
While I'd love a percentage based fee, this is a damages suit, so it should be actual damages these people are owed, as determined by the court. A percentage just doesn't make sense here unless punitive damages were also on the table.
In principle I agree, though, breaking the law should not be an affordable "cost of doing business".
If they accept the patient, and the patient needs an emergency abortion, then they could face legal consequences for providing one, or face losing their license for denying critical care.
Either way, if such a circumstance happens, the doctor is completely fucked, and they'd rather keep their job, and help other people.
There's confusion about what is and isn't allowed, which isn't helping. Doctors don't know what they could be sued for. Its in their best interest to not see patients like this. Doctors need protections at least, but governments have specifically taken steps to make them liable, and this confusion and refusal is part of the plan to make abortions this scary thing.
The ad revenue is a portion of what the advertisers paid.
YouTube DOES get its content for free. They pay YouTubers per view, essentially a portion of profit, whereas something like Netflix pays for the creation of content and then also a portion of profit made.
That's not what the article said they meant.
An EU split that can comply, and a rest of the world split that continues to monopolize the iPhone.
Pulling into someone's driveway isn't trespassing as a general rule, unless you know they don't want you there.
Trespass at its heart is legally something you need to have had intent to do. "No trespassing" signs or verbal warnings to leave inform someone that this is land they aren't wanted on, so are pretty important in proving trespassing.
This is also why door-to-door salesman and missionaries aren't sued out of existence. Both use the land in an attempt to offer something to the owner, its a legitimate use, as long as they leave when told.
But since the delivery man believed he had explicit permission, since he thought this was the house that ordered a pizza, it's perfectly legal. He just would've had to leave when he was told to go.
But the pizza man did nothing to provoke shooting, so I expect the owner gets no self-defense argument here. Just the pizza guy.
It's pretty common to still allow private ownership of historic places, but with additional rules associated with them.
The silly part is if this mattered, why wasn't this already part of that? I suppose it's a social inertia of a kind, and this will likely resolve by getting it recognized as a historic building.
He'll just ban the account instead, now. Maybe even say that it would be a block, but "that makes no sense".
She, through her lawyer, already announced they intend to, but as of earlier this week her lawyer said there wasn't quite enough as of yet.
Trump obviously won't leave it alone, though, so knowing her lawyer is looking for it means the next lawsuit is pending.
I do that all the time. I go "oh there's an update on this case, cool. Wait, these names aren't familiar. Am I remembering wrong?" one google later "no this is a second time, and I also found a third and fourth that didn't make their way to me."
Nah, it's specifically not a crime to be arrested, that'd be an infinite jail glitch.
He'll waste it all on lawyers whose job will be to disprove hard evidence though, since he's very guilty, so it'll be fine.
The article also says right to strike over plant closures. They could strike anyway, but that'll mean Ford can't fire them for it. Job security. Also according to the guardian, that 25% is after cost of living adjustments, so it'll be an actual 25% and not chasing inflation.
Overall, I'd say that's decent, but obviously it's the auto workers who get to decide that.
Obviously using it as a thin client for this MacBook, duh.
I don't think its that rare, but its not common. Usually it means that the client is breaching their agreement. Often that breach is in the form of they lied to the lawyer. Lawyers have confidentiality, so the only reasons to lie are external to the case itself.
Could also mean Lindell stopped paying them, probably for money troubles.
Well this is a data center oriented tech, anyway, and the current implementation doesn't need that.
If we pretend Trump wasn't a thing, I'd say Biden is really living up to his campaign promise of "nothing will fundamentally change." By that I mean, he hasn't personally done anything amazing or terrible, and he hasn't gotten in the way of others, either.
For instance, this has the fingerprints of Bernie Sanders all over it, who chairs several committees in congress, including the relevant one for this. Has Biden stopped Bernie Sanders? No, and while I wish that fact wasn't a win, it is.
Bernie isn't alone in being the only good thing about our current government, either, but Biden also hasn't removed some of the terrible things the trump administration set up. The Environmental Protection Agency has rolled back a bunch of things I'm very upset about. It is my personal belief that he's heavily influenced by certain groups (insurance) but is trying in other areas.
Biden isn't at all supporting policies that are just common sense if you live anywhere else, and while the UK isn't the best, I've discussed this with a British friend and I still include them in that. In short, you have more protections from your government that they need to try to remove first.
In my opinion if Biden had been elected after Obama or after a normal Republican he would've basically had a quiet presidency and been one of the ones you don't really mention in history because nothing happened. Standard calls for corruption, but not worse than any regular senators. In today's world, that's positive, with Republican candidates promising to abolish the department of education, but in another world where things aren't full of neonazis and fascists, I'd be saying it's awful, because I would have wanted a president that would change things for the better, and now I'm just beaten down enough to be ok with "Nothing will fundamentally change."
The Geneva convention doesn't apply to your own citizens, just to war. The US made sure they had that exception in hand
When they formally banned tear gasses (including this specific one) in 1993, since the Geneva convention only had a loose definition, the US again reserved an exception for domestic use.
So yes. The US has promised they wouldn't use tear gas against any other country because that's inhumane and too horrible, regardless of the reason for war. But it's fine if they use it on protestors. That's totally fine, they shouldn't have gotten too rowdy.

I had my wisdom teeth removed because I failed to take care of them (dumb teenager), but my dentist told me my jaw fit them just fine, so I never had to lose them.
I want them back.
They're being sarcastic. You can tell by the list of people that have supported him linked with sexual assault.
The logic is sound, but as you extend the idea, the group starts selling access to their doctor, and you basically pay a subscription for a doctor, and then you just have insurance by another name. It wouldn't be corrupt like modern insurance, but that's just because it's new, not because it won't get there, unless specific steps are taken to prevent that.
Really, the only thing thatt actually accomplishes here is you've removed profit and CEO nonsense from the equation. A community that implemented and organized all these potential communal services would just be a commune. Nothing wrong with that at all, we need more communist principles in our lives.
He specifically stated that before, and also in general just focused on making steam accessible. Some people have issues with steam and what it has for annoying DRM, but compared to what EA and Ubisoft did with their platforms, Steam doesn't shine itself down your throat, doesn't bloat everything, and has a massive library.
According to the article, the stuff he said he let the accountants handle is stuff a competent criminal would've pleaded the fifth to, because he was still VP, and still responsible for what he signed as VP, and now since he's under oath, that testimony is evidence in a criminal case against him.
In other words, he admitted to being responsible and just not looking at anything
You can't really avoid it in any easy way. If you could, the field of statistics would get a decent amount simpler. The only way to deal with the bias is with a survey pulled from random people, which you can't really do easily here.
But this one will have a lot of bias, all the same.
People said that about newspapers, too.
The issue isn't the device, it's the lack of restraint the kids were never taught. Of course they want that Dopamine hit. It's free. Same reason very few people seek the satisfaction of building your table yourself, when you can buy one.
Not to say kids aren't worse, they are, and it's awful, but it's a symptom, not the problem, in my opinion. The problem is they have no goals. Where do they wanna end up? The world is fucked, and most of them talk about the future as if there isn't one. They won't own a house, they won't get enough to live off of with a job, a good job is locked behind ungodly amounts of debt, and the world is literally on fire. Then, the people who should fix it, the people who get elected, are selling them out for money instead of fixing it. There's no point in doing hard things if there's nothing to gain from it.
Kids won't improve until the world does, because they have no reason to put down the devices. The devices offer a hollow life, and that's more than real life is willing to give them.
Sorry about the rant, I just think it's important to keep the focus on the problem. Kids engage wherever they get the most reward. It's our job, not teachers, to make real life better, and it can be. Until then, sorry about the kids. I'm trying to raise mine to value what there is to value, but they definitely suck right now, even if it's not their fault.
