Better than what will actually happen- fail to use powerful new tool for presidential oppression, watch the other side use it, surprise pikachu, hand wringing, impotent mewling, get sent to death camps for failing to salute your neighborhood God emperor proxy fast enough.

Here me out: Supreme Court justices, Seal Team 6, official act. You don’t even have to pack the Court any more.

Separate apps for various retail stores. I don’t want a home depot app. I don’t want a kroger app. We have a generic app for this category called a web browser. If you want me to download a specialized app for your store, I assume that means that my browser does not sufficiently breach my privacy for your “business purposes.”

Maybe we should make his fantasies a reality. Treason can be a capital offense. Subverting our elections while being beholden to Moscow sounds a lot like treason to me.

Well there is no commandment that says, "Thou shall not grab thy date’s hog in a crowded theater on camera and in front of children. " I guess she is okay. Lol

At this point I am rooting for bird flu to evolve human-to-human transmission with the expectation that it would disproportionately infect anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers.

Doom scrolling on my phone.

Prior to this, the restrictions on non-competes varied by jurisdiction. Many were similar to Texas:

Under Texas law noncompete agreements can be enforceable if:

1. The noncompete provision is part of an otherwise enforceable agreement.
2. The non-compete requirement is supported by valid consideration (consideration meaning something of value provided to the employee).
3. The non-compete requirement is reasonable in geographic scope, timeframe, and activities being restrained.

The factors were issues for a jury. Even with this change from the FTC, I expect companies will still be able to pursue prohibitively expensive litigation against former employees for things like theft of trade secrets. Even a bogus claim can cost many thousands of dollars to defend even if it is meritless.

I rented a Pontiac Matiz in Mexico in the late 90s or early 2000s. Small, underpowered, uncomfortable and just didn’t feel very safe. I normally like little cars, but not that one. The air conditioner struggled to keep up with the August heat too.

This Gen Xer is planning to die relatively young. Retirement definitely is not in the cards. I have a permanent chronic health condition. My wife has already fought cancer once. Healthcare is impoverishing. I will probably die at my desk. I hope I doesn’t demoralize my younger coworker friends.

I guess I could easily slave another 25 years. Mostly I hope to live long enough to pay off my house, so my kid can actually own one. I feel like I should have bought him one ten years ago, but I couldn’t afford to.

I just want to know if the embryo is frozen for a number of years (is there a limit after which viability stops?) and then implanted, does that shorten the time before the resulting person can vote? I.e., if the embryo is frozen for fourteen years, can the resulting child vote at four?

Is letting the eggs get freezer burned past viability, murder?

When you buy your first model. That event represents your transition from “I’m interested in Warhammer” to “I collect Warhammer.”

It depends on the jurisdiction. In some there is some judicial discretion. I saw a case where the amount was 111.1%. I am not admitted in New York and am too lazy to look up their rules. Usually the amount is enough to pay the whole judgment plus all costs (which shouldn’t be a very high percentage of such a huge judgment, lol).

One of my clients deposited the judgment amount plus court ordered costs in cash in an escrow account of the Court pending the appeal. The prevailing party received the judgment plus the interest the deposit earned (like an IOLTA).

But if I were to say that about him and his family, he would want me prosecuted.

I give them some water, because it is probably pretty scarce and valuable by 2074. Then I ask them if they remembered to bring me the lottery ticket numbers for the big lottery that I win in October of 2024.

I have graduated to the stage of my career where I believe “I have to teach these kids how to do things correctly before my coworkers corrupt them, or they learn bad behaviors on their own.” I was thrown in the fire early in my career and am trying to be the mentor I wish I had. I know where my knowledge gaps are, but generally know who to rely on. I definitely generate the most value when I stick to my expertise, but I still try to learn more whenever possible.

I should remember this crap for my next self-evaluation (I hate that crap).

I am actually hoping the 4080s causes a $200 price drop on the 7900XTX. I think the 24 GB of memory makes it the best long-term prospect.

I am going to replace my 980ti this year. Most expensive GPU I ever bought, but I have been using it for almost 8 years. I am not optimistic about my next one lasting that long. Waiting for the Supers to release so I can get some benchmarks and see what prices do.
