Yes that’s what he’s saying.

I feel you. I used to be the same. I got used to audiobooks in the same way, but only because I had to, when I had my kid, and I couldn’t spare the hands to read. I could, however, get some sport headphones, bone-conducting, so I could hear the baby if she cried but could hear my book without disturbing her, and once I was used to that, that became my preferred way to read.

Maybe that made me more adaptable.

Either way, if you don’t need to adapt, there’s no harm in not adapting. Live your life, you’ll adapt when/if you need to.

I used to feel that way, they didn’t have the depth I wanted.

My wife has sent me so many tiktoks that I got used to it.

Now I still don’t watch them, but because I’d get stuck in them. Whatever my wife sends, and specific ones from content people I know make quality, and that’s about it. Once you get past them being presented in a new way, they’re more addicting to ADHD brains.

I will say that if you were gonna pick your minute long vertical video platform, tiktok is the best one, YouTube the worst, but Facebook and Instagram are a lot closer to YouTube shorts than tiktoks. I’m reasonably confident it’s because YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram see it as a way to extend your stay on a platform with other content, while tiktok focuses on it exclusively. Their algorithms are doing different things.

Nah thats the government’s ability to regulate.

He hasn’t defunded the courts, so private lawsuits can occur. (At least he hasn’t as of today, maybe he will tomorrow)

But also may they sue for false advertising and cost Tesla legal fees and result in them being obligated to provide these services for free.

Yeah that too.

I’m happy with mint I just wanted to see what it said.

I’d never heard of it so I tried it out, it seemed fine until the end where it listed about ten different distros with no real way to differentiate them.

Like, yeah, mint and Ubuntu and elementary and zorin and xubuntu all work for my use cases. I wanted it to give me a reason why one is better than another.

So, yeah, can’t recommend that website. It’s trying to help, but it won’t, really.

I do.

I mean none of it is good, but there’s cat food that genuinely tastes bad.

Aren’t you a little curious?

You could call it c/puzzlemethis, maybe. It’d sound like “riddle me this” so the purpose is pretty easy to figure out, but it also says that this isn’t just riddles.

Here’s the text.

“Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust, or Profit under the United States; but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.”

Impeachment is important and it should’ve happened, but the senate literally can’t do anything except remove him from office, and the impeachment text specifically allows for regular law to also apply to whoever got impeached.

So no, we do not have this covered by impeachment, and no former president is immune from regular legal proceedings.

Current presidents are, though, through supreme court precedent and the self-pardon. Former presidents should not automatically get this benefit though.

They’re gonna flap around too but nah this is leg day. Flying starts with a big jump. Especially when the wings are also new, you want as much height as you can when you start.

No.

Of course even the president has a right to due process, but no. If the president commits treason, he doesn’t get to be immune to that. A trial is warranted and an arrest if found guilty is correct.

Yes, corruption could hypothetically rig such a trial. But a president immune from the consequences of his actions means there only needs to be one person corrupted to ruin a whole branch of government, instead of the hundreds it would take Congress to rig a trial.

Zigbee is a mesh network, but Zigbee with mqtt has a hub that stores messages. I haven’t used it myself but it would mean that if, say, a Zigbee bulb was routing a message on the mesh network through a smart switch across the room to the hub, and the switch dropped the connection for a moment, a hub reply could be dropped entirely. Just briefly, but thatd be the intermittent issues that people are describing here.

MQTT stores all those messages in the hub though and makes the light bulb check in to get the messages, so if a light bulb were to do that and the switch disconnected, the light bulb would notice the failure and just retry, and the message is still on the mqtt hub to be redelivered.

Dunno if this description is exactly correct, but it sounds like it from my brief look on Wikipedia on communication differences.

No that seems likely.

Evidence that would damn them here being in a court record makes it admissible elsewhere for a crime that isn’t even prosecuted yet.

They’re cutting off their foot to save their leg, here, since this isn’t particularly secretive, seeing how we know about it.

Companies don’t get jail time.

Sure, technically an individual could, but generally the actual destruction is an employee doing what they’re told to do. They’re somewhat complicit but the real problem is the c-suite people.

I unfortunately don’t know when this last happened or any specific details on what the penalty would be, but I feel fairly confident that this law falls under the “cost of doing business” part of illegal corporate activity. I wish it didn’t.

The previous Pedro Pascal, I guess.

Nah it’s illegal to deliberately destroy data to impede investigations. You don’t need to have an open investigation for that to be the case.

It remains legal to get rid of old files to free up space or if you genuinely believe they aren’t necessary, though, so you need to prove intent.

If there’s a subpeona or something, their destruction is itself a crime, but under this law, its the intent to defraud the courts that’s illegal, and that intent is always illegal.

The law exists specifically for this situation. Purging important business documents preemptively is clearly not OK.

Well clearly the dog was religious and preferred to eat things that were free of sin.

Honestly I think of bluejays and the rest of the family as crows, too. They’re the blue crows. Crows are true crows, but magpies and bluejays and all them are still crows, to me.

I appreciate it. I knew this, but external reminders are more powerful.
