Cannon isn't exactly one of the great legal minds of our time. I wonder if we will eventually find out Heritage Foundation or something similar is covertly coaching her through each stage.

Cool cool cool cool.....
They were beating officers and breaking doors and windows so they could get into the chambers and shake the hands of their elected representatives!
Yup. That episode aired December 2008. r/explainlikeim5 was created in 2012. Can't tell when r/eli5 was created, as it's now private.
Synopsis by Gemini -
This video by Mrwhosetheboss argues that big tech companies are prioritizing profits over users. The video uses the term "in ification" to describe a three-stage pattern that many tech companies follow. In the first stage, the company offers a superior service at a lower price to gain users. Once they have a large user base, the company focuses on increasing profits from those users by employing tactics like tiering and subscriptions. Finally, the company may reduce the quality of the service while still charging more.
The video uses Uber as an example. Initially, Uber was significantly cheaper and more convenient than taxis. Uber was able to attract a large user base by offering low prices and a better user experience. Once Uber had a dominant market share, they introduced surge pricing and began to take a larger cut of each fare.
The video also criticizes the proliferation of subscription services. The video argues that many companies are offering subscription services for features that were previously free or included in a lower-priced subscription. The video says that this can be a bad deal for consumers, especially when they have to subscribe to multiple services to access all the content they want.
Overall, the video argues that big tech companies are becoming less user-friendly and more focused on extracting money from their users. The video concludes with a call to action, urging viewers to be more critical of subscription services and to cancel them when they are not being used.
Arizona, Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas. Lawmakers claim it's to prevent issues with things like child support, visitation, etc, before paternity can be established. This article does a pretty good job summarizing the situations:
then a permanent ceasefire and withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, and ultimately the reconstruction of Gaza and return of Palestinians to their homes.
I don't have anything to add, but want to ask a question about this part: what fucking homes?!?!
"Ok, you can go back home now. Btw, it's a pile of rubble now, so good luck with that. Bye!"
Indeed, not only “an accidental conversation” but an intentional one would fall outside the statute’s scope unless the U.S. citizen’s intent was to affect a foreign government’s policy in a concrete way. Thus, former basketball star Dennis Rodman most likely did not violate the statute when he traveled to North Korea and met with that country’s leader in an effort to promote “peace and love.”

That show had no business being as great as it was.
There should be a debate where the nominees get to choose a champion to take their place.

I think this might be an idea that's so stupid, it's awesome.
That does not describe his lawyers...
Damnit! I missed the Dance Rave again!
That joke has a bit of a history
This is quite a few years old now, but I think the main points are still valid. As you said, everything is so polished, kids don't need to figure out how it works.

My dad bought me a ridiculously expensive (like $400) Samsung vacuum that I loved. It was strong, it came apart in really cool ways to make it versatile, etc.
It failed in less than a year.
The $60 Walmart special Bissell that I went and bought to replace it lasted for 8.5 years before the motor burned out (I screwed up and it got too much pet hair in it). I bought the same one again and it's going on 5+ years with no issues.
This happened in my parents city about 15 years ago.
.5gbps - $45/mo
1g- $60
2g - $80
5g - $110
It's amazing.
Which was also a terrible change.
Yup, 50/50 crapshoot on whether that works each time I open the app.
I agree with the Idea that being in a position for too long increases the possibility of corruption. But, I'll counter with two thoughts:
1.) Shouldn't people have the ability to vote for who they want to represent them? If the people of Vermont want to keep on rejecting Bernie Sanders, why should they not be able to? (Valid counterpoint- Dianne Feinstein)
2.) This is the less trivial one - I fear that term limits would invite more corruption, as the representatives understand they only have a limited amount of time to grease as many palms and make as many connections as possible in their limited amount of time in office. We already have issues with the lame duck period, and those are currently measured in weeks. I can only imagine what I'd be like if a large portion of reps had full lame duck sessions.
expanding the military by 100x
Send massive amounts of money to defense contractors...
entirely cut all post-separation benefits for anyone that is conscripted
without any future liability obligations....
you could expect to see that number triple, easily
and leaving tons of room to grift...
cutting everything else that taxes are spent on
all while also getting to fuck over the poors?
Somewhere, a senator just spontaneously jizzed his pants.
I do the same thing. It hurts so good! Especially my pinkie toenails. Definitely not a good habit, though, and probably related to some stress / coping mechanism.
We already live in a society with enough money to ensure everyone can live. It would just be nice to get rid of the cruelty in the lower rungs.
Very well said. Unfortunately, for some, the cruelty is the point.
"Delusions of adequacy" is a fantastic line.

I have a pixel 6 pro and use earfun free 2's. No anc, and battery isn't quite what you're looking for, but they're relatively cheap and work pretty well. I've had mine for like 3 years now and they're just starting to get fucky from dropping them.

Jurors are not issued security clearances.

AI summary of the process using the article and other sources -
The process of presenting classified information at a trial involves careful adherence to the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA), which provides a framework for handling such sensitive materials while balancing national security interests and the defendant's right to a fair trial.
-
Pretrial Procedures:
- A pretrial conference is held to discuss how classified information will be managed. The court issues protective orders to prevent unauthorized disclosures [❞] [❞].
- The government can request to delete or redact classified information from discovery or provide unclassified summaries instead. This request is typically made in a private (ex parte) and closed (in camera) session with the judge [❞] [❞].
-
Defense Counsel Clearance:
-
Use at Trial:
- Before trial, defendants must notify the court of any classified information they intend to disclose. The court holds a hearing to determine the admissibility of this information, and the government may propose substitutions or redactions [❞] [❞].
- If the court deems the classified information relevant and admissible, the government can suggest unclassified summaries or stipulations to ensure the defense can still present their case effectively [❞].
-
Jury Considerations:
- Jurors typically do not need security clearances. Instead, the court ensures that any classified information presented at trial is sufficiently sanitized or summarized so that it does not compromise national security but still conveys the necessary details for the case [❞].
-
Interlocutory Appeals:
- The government has the right to appeal pretrial court decisions that it believes improperly compel the disclosure of classified information. This is a crucial mechanism to protect sensitive information throughout the trial process [❞].
This structured approach aims to protect classified information while upholding the integrity of the judicial process.
Note: This is just for Federal crimes. State crimes are separate.
This was me a while back. I used to tell my wife that the fact that she didn't know anything about tech meant my company would actually consider her a better employee because she would stick to the script and hold the company line, even if it was bullshit, because she wouldn't know it was bullshit.
