I stand corrected. Thank you for the added details.

I personnally think the trend is to dismiss crimes until someone is finally convicted. Then the dismiss abrubtly ends and prosecution succees fully. Either 0% guilty or 100%.

That is how “innocent until proven guilty” is supposed to work.

What’s hard to believe is none of the previous presidents committed any single crime, while this one committed at least 64 and ‘nobody knew’.

Previous presidents have committed crimes (Clinton committed perjury, Grant was arrested three times, Nixon was part of a criminal conspiracy) but none were convicted of a felony before now. And everybody knew about Trump’s crimes, his accomplice was already convicted and served his sentence.

Haven’t seen anyone mention Alacritty yet, that’s my favorite terminal emulator.

Apparently his license had been restored in 2022, but due to a clerical error it was still listed as suspended. That’s part of the reason for the hearing.

Except she was acquitted.

Apparently so.

That makes sense. Though I think it depends on what you’re doing for that 1%. For me personally I prefer a beefy desktop for work+games, and a low-power laptop/tablet for portable jobs.

That way I can upgrade the PC tower every couple years and keep using the same portable device for years and years, since it’s basically just an email/web/SSH terminal. I’ve been using the same desktop PC since 2009, just upgrading it as needed. Over 15 years it feels like fewer devices than having to keep replacing a high end laptop every 3-4 years or so.

Only if you got that 13 button wired mouse in your laptop bag.

They’re both issues, but only the latter is a prosecutable offense in our current legal system. They should both be, but that’s not the current state of the law.

Poor Eisenhower

I agree, but apparently presidents are immune from prosecution for anything done in office. I really hope that can get overturned, but it’s the current state of the law.

I don’t really see how that goes against it. If anything it shows that some people will totally disregard profit in favor of bettering humanity. See also: the patent for insulin.

It doesn’t need to be published in a scientific journal. Publication in journals is the most streamlined way to go through the process, but you could publish your hypothesis and methodology to a blog and potentially get the same benefits.

Even patents need to be published. Publication is how discoveries are shared and verified.

Exactly, that’s why we’ll never have a vaccine for something like polio, it’s too profitable to make and sell iron lungs.

I mean that if you say “Bees” out loud it sounds like “B’s”, as in the boy’s room.

Yeah, I get that. I just wanted to clarify that it was a lot more recent than the middle ages, especially with how much genocide denial has been attempting to minimize those atrocities lately.

The Armenian genocide wasn’t that long ago, it happened during my grandmother’s lifetime, and the current leader of Turkey still denies it was a genocide. But bringing up the Spanish inquisition in 2024 is wack.

I think it’s a play on words Bees -> Bs, B stands for Boy. Birds -> British slang for women.

Alt-p? I use Mod+d.

Sway is bae.
