Some of it is certainly the camera angle and perspective. Everyone except Newsom seems to have a lean.

However, you can also see pretty easily that trump’s lean is far more pronounced. It’s also not the first time it’s come up. Trump’s had a noticeable forward lean for years.

That statement requires an awfully large asterisk.

Yes, California pays the most in taxes, but only because the population is so much larger. It also gets most of the back. Whether California is a “giver” or a “taker” state depends on exactly how you measure it, and what year. Regardless, it’s always very close to even.

But yes, the premise of federal disaster aide is horribly broken. It shouldn’t work as a Congressional GoFundMe after each disaster hits, where donors get to decide if they “deserve” the money. Either Congress has disaster aide setup, or it doesn’t. That needs to apply to California, Florida, or wherever.

If California leaves, I really don’t see the rest of the country showing any unity. Oregon and Washington would immediately leave to join the new country of California. Texas leaves because fuck everyone else. Oklahoma (and others) would leave expecting to join Texas, but won’t be allowed in.

The rest will fall apart in their own way.

S04E12 - Marge vs the Monorail

It was the only folly the people of Springfield ever embarked upon.

Except for the popsicle stick skyscraper.

And the 50 foot magnifying glass.

And that escalator to nowhere

Warning: IANAL

It’s only destruction of evidence if it’s evidence of a crime. You can destroy data for countless reasons that are not crimes, but it might be up to you to show that it’s unrelated to a crime. Most large companies have a data destruction policy for that reason. If it gets called out in court (usually in civil cases), they can point to that policy. The docs weren’t shredded/erased to hide wrongdoing; they just haven’t been used in 24 months and that’s when our policy says to delete.

I never said confusion, nor did I say it had anything to do with the name. WordPad development takes time and money with minimal return. It also provides a very minimal subset of the capabilities of Word. People expecting Word capabilities are frustrated by the limitations of WordPad, and are actually happier being told it’s simply not available without additional purchase.

The problem is who will replace them. Does Putin even have an official successor (like the US VP), or would this create a power vacuum?

This isn’t exactly a secret. Remember in the debate when he said he’d end the war, and refused to say which side he’d be on?

Requirement from whom? Who would enforce it?

I know the obvious answer is the ICC, but they currently have warrants for both Putin and Netanyahu, so clearly that’s not an effective threat.

That’s not too far from Windows S edition. That more closely mimics the smartphone model, but still allows the Windows app store.

Wordpad is much more easily explained: They don’t want to maintain it anymore, since that costs money. It was also cannibalizing sales of Word, and often left users frustrated. Frankly, it’s weird that they maintained it as long as they did.

Now, solitaire becoming a subscription, that’s a blatant cash grab.

That’s not the real reason.

Trump needs to replace career civil servants with lackeys. That’s a lot easier if they just quit.

The CIA was actively planning an assassination. But while they were fighting through the red tape, an outsider stole the plan right out from under them and took all of the credit.

There’s a really big problem with this guidance. You may be in category 2 (i.e. a suspect) and not know it. They may also retroactively place you in that category, and everything you said can now be incriminating evidence

5 of whom will move out of the state at their first opportunity, 2 might stay. And 1 will die before their 21st birthday due to causes that don’t exist much in the developed world, like methanol poisoning or measles.

There’s diminishing returns. I don’t think people care much as long as it’s under a minute. Between 1-3 minutes they care a bit. 3-10 minutes and it becomes tedious. 10+ and people get very irritated.

If you’ve ever worked on a corporate system, that last category is very common no matter what the hardware is.

As for people bragging, that’s all it is. They’re saying it’s so fast it can do [meaningless task] in an impressively short amount of time. Presumably, this translates into something more meaningful but harder to benchmark. For instance, they tell you it boots in 5 seconds because that means it can reopen all of their Chrome tabs in 30 seconds.

FWIW, impeachable offenses from the POTUS go back a lot further than Nixon. More serious, too. But yes, Nixon/Ford showed us the process doesn’t work.

There are a number of active laws that were rendered unconstitutional by Lawrence v. Texas. In addition to the anti-sodomy laws, this invalidated most laws restricting sex toys.

Lawrence was explicitly called out as being on the chopping block in the Jackson decision, so these are slated for a comeback. The only real limitation is that SCOTUS needs a case, and the challenger needs to show standing.

Edit: fixed autocorrect

Most of us are still ok with it, but we won’t be the ones to do it. There aren’t enough that will.

2 options- USB-C wired NICs are cheap and readily available, so you could easily use a wired connection.

But I think what you want to do is setup a WAP. You can do this with (nearly) any standard wireless router that meets your specs.

First, do not connect this to any part of your network yet. Instead, connect to and access its setup config. I know apps are trendy, but I have no idea if you can do this from there. You can if you use its internal website instead, often 192.168.1.1.

Once here, you need to do the following:

1. Give it a new IP in the same subnet as your existing router/network. If your main router is 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0, your new WAP can be 192.168.1.2. Make sure that your main DHCP range also does not include this address.

2. Disable the DHCP server entirely on your WAP. You don’t want them to interfere with each other.

3. Configure the wireless to have the exact same settings as your main router. Your clients (phones, laptops, etc) will automatically choose the best connection point based on signal and noise.

4. Once configured, connect it to your existing network using a LOCAL port. Do not use the WAN/Internet port.

If needed, you can also connect other devices to the other local ports.

The idea of a grave/cemetery being permanent is largely a US thing. In most of Europe, graves are rented for an extended period (between 10 and 100 years). After that, what little is left of the remains are removed and the plot can be used again.

Your experience with an abandoned graveyard is just closer to the standard culture in other parts of the works.
