He earned that money, not them. If they want to get paid, they can setup their own Go Fund Me.

-Trump, probably

Oh I agree about that part. I even agree in the schadenfreude about his (direct) suffering, and he absolutely deserves it (and more).

Please be better than this. It’s the mirrored version of ‘owning the libs’, and it hurts us all in the end.

That said, I am very pleased that justice has been served. We need to hold more politicians accountable, both at the polls and in the courts.

Where does it say that no other qualifications can be considered? It certainly lists a lot of qualifications that are required, but doesn’t say that it’s an exhaustive list.

Doesn’t NY have a law about directly profiting from a crime? It’s usually used against criminals (often murderers) who write a book about what they did.

This is an option in the BIOS (UEFI) of certain PCs. I can confirm it exists on a number of HP Elitebook models.

Homeowners insurance is typically quite literally required by the mortgage lender. As in, they will sue you if you don’t maintain the minimum level of coverage, because it’s a material beach of contract. And yes, many do check regularly.

This effectively limits it to people that own their homes outright, or corporate landlords that can self-insure.

Most of the “Tiny houses” on the market are literally mobile homes, but with a fancier facade to hide that detail.

Pretty sure the original contracts have all expired, and these are now month-to-month renewals. IOW, when the current contract expires at the end of the month, it will not be renewed by T-Mobile. They are offering a similar, slightly modified version (at a higher price) if you would like to take them up on it.

Disclaimer: IANAL

Contracts in perpetuity don’t hold up, especially since this isn’t even a contract. They always expire at some point, unless renewed.

A claim of false advertising could hold up, but again that’s a promise not held in a contract.

Finally, it looks like that marketing campaign was over 7 years ago. No court would ever hold them to business plans from that long ago. They have to provide adequate notice for any changes (often 30 days), but they can certainly discontinue a program.

I agree, the statement earlier was another example. RFK is a terrible choice for many reasons (the worms thing is almost certainly bullshit though). But everyone has some good qualities you can focus on if you want to promote them. Similarly, everyone has bad qualities if that’s your M.O.

It’s not so much that Google is declining, but the entire Internet. Google just hasn’t figured out how to route around the damage.

Try adding “before:2023” to your searches to see what I mean.

“Let’s imagine: It’s time to elect a world leader, and your vote counts. Which would you choose:

“Candidate A: Associates with ward healers and consults with astrologists; has had two mistresses; chain-smokes and drinks eight to ten martinis a day.

“Candidate B: Was kicked out of office twice; sleeps until noon; used opium in college; drinks a quart of brandy every evening.

“Candidate C: Is a decorated war hero, a vegetarian, doesn’t smoke, drinks an occasional beer, and has had no illicit love affairs.

“Which of these candidates is your choice? You don’t really need any more information, do you? Candidate A is Franklin Roosevelt. Candidate B is Winston Churchill. Candidate C is Adolf Hitler.”

Biased and selective comparisons can prove anything.

I didn’t expect better from the NY post, but it’s leaving out some critical detail. His father is (Was? Also not mentioned) a natural-born US citizen. This is sufficient to gain citizenship, even if born abroad. Is this a clerical error? Does SSA not recognize their parentage? How did they previously pass all of the other tests of citizenship, and why is it different with the SSA?

Remember: If you see someone stealing food, no you didn’t.

Adding onto this, these are just the US federal requirements. Different states, particularly California, restrict that even further.

ETA: Many other countries have stronger worker protections than the US. They also have the same levels of greed, and sometimes the same level of abuse. Don’t assume it’s legal just because they put it on paper; research your area’s employment laws.

Depending on where you are, it still may not be legal. Law overrides contracts.

The worst part is, look into the public records of all of the corrupt politicians. Most were bought for under $10k.

You have to keep in mind the scenarios where it will be used. While truly fast charging does exist today (20 minutes or so for 80% charge), that is not widespread, nor is that the way it’s typically done. Level 3 (DC fast charging) is expensive (moreso than gas), potentially detrimental to the battery, and still usually not very fast (an hour at least). As such, you aren’t going to charge at your local gas station the same way you get a fill up today.

Most people use a level 2 charger, either at home or at work. This means it can sit for 8 hours to refuel. Many parking garages have this as well. Level 2 chargers deliver AC directly to the vehicle, meaning you don’t need a lot of infrastructure- just a 240v line and a billing system. This in turn means it’s cheap and relatively easy to install. Sometimes you’ll see these outside of Starbucks or a grocery store, but not especially often. You’ll get ~25 miles of range per hour charging using level 2. But even if you spend 2 hours drinking coffee, or buying groceries, you’ve only added 50 miles of range.

This is where level 3 comes in. It requires some pretty significant equipment (which is part of why they’re always broken), because it has to convert AC into high voltage DC. It also has to chill the cables internally, otherwise they’d quickly overheat from the electricity passing through. But this takes up space that’s probably not really available in the lot.

I am seeing fast chargers now being installed at travel centers/truck stops along major highways. It fits in nicely with regular stops on a road trip for food. I’m also seeing them being installed at most Walmarts, since that’s perfect for grocery shopping.

Around here, that last group has been from Electrify America, which does NOT require an app. They have a standard credit card reader.

The standalone Hyper-V Server was last released for server 2019. Not only was this leaner than Server 2019 w/ the Hyper V role, it was available for free.
