Nah, she’s exactly what we can expect from Dems. She’s not progressive, but other than the ID thing, she’s got a pretty good track record. Even that was a lost cause but I would have rather her not roll over. Anyway, she’s not perfect but a hell of a lot better than where we’re be if Lake won.
My brother was murdered for stealing cash and drugs from a drug dealer. It was in the 2010’s and totaled about $1000. So maybe a little more than this even factoring for inflation. The killer got off due to some complications with the PA and two very partial juror. 11/12 guilty votes in 2 trials, and both times one guy who refused to vote guilty based on the race of the killer and the race of my brother.
I put this out there because this case hits very close to home. No one in my family ever even hoped for the death penalty. There is no reason to eye-for-an-eye here. Even if cruelty is the point, it’s crueler to make them miss the rest of their potential life. For me, there is always the possibility it’s the wrong guy, and if so, they should have no limit on how long they spend trying to prove their innocence.
There is no place for the death penalty in today’s world.
You just aren’t going to the right websites.
They can, but the point of OTA setups is that you don’t have to anymore, and you save a lot that way because satiate testing is very very expensive. Old PC platforms had a standard of compatibility in how all the hardware worked. So you could test a few variations, and be reasonably assured, or you had a specific version for a particular price of hardware, like c&c machines.
So the new paradigm is about testing your most common setup, then slow rolling out and waiting for complaints. If you broke something, you get the details, fix it, and ship again. The problem here is their release cycle takes too long. This is only viable if you can patch things in a day, if it takes you a month to fix a patch that is turning cars into driveway statues, it more than a handful of cars are affected, you need a new strategy.
I feel you on a lot of that. Big FAANG and Covid lockdowns changed the landscape hard in the favor of the inexperienced. In late 2020, I had a junior position to fill with a 90k salary. The guy that has accepted called me back a few days later to inform me Disney+ just offered him 220k. I couldn’t even be mad he was taking their offer after he had already accepted mine. I’m sure a lot of that resulted in incompetent people with higher paying jobs and titles than they deserved. Note that it’s setting the other way, well, no one can afford to take a pay cut, so they’re of course applying to jobs they don’t qualify for. My current role clearly says PHP, but I’ve dumped maybe 10% of the candidates already for not even having the term PHP on their resume.
It’s not just grads. I have 1 open senior position, 100 applicants. A good 10% of them with 15+ years of experience have had no job in the last year, or have things like “Amazon fulfillment center” as their most recent job. Shits rough if you find yourself laid off or if the company you’re working for went out of business.
How can it slow down? To get investment, every company has to at least claim to use AI. My company measures and ranks people based on their use of Gemini. It hasn’t made it into our performance reviews yet, but there is shaming for not using it. “Come on, we’re paying for it, make use of it”. I haven’t even figured out how to make good use of it in my normal routine. Which is legitimately 75% meetings. Maybe I need to send bots to meetings.
All these state governors are just so happy to sit in daddy trumps cuck chair. It would be hilarious if it weren’t also terrifying.
I wonder if they mean the other types of rounds like bean bags, or maybe tear gas?
No addons that I know of, but they do an annoying thing where they change which specific version/release/album of a song is available, so your playlists end up missing songs even though the song itself is still available and you have to correct the playlist.
Amazon’s Prime Music? Most people have prime anyway, I think that comes with the ad version. Less than Spotify to switch to add free.
If you still have access to any .edu email addresses, you can get student rates for Apple Music, and probably others.
The market comparison is important. It outsold the EV Silverado by about 1000 and was outsold by the F150 EV by about 1000 units. The market cooled on all electric trucks, probably due to price and current economic conditions.
I think Ford does a good job of offering the features and tech, but not making them required. Even their EVs have settings that can mimic a gas driving experience. Be a Luddite trust what you trust. But don’t pigeon hole your acceptable years of manufacture.
It’s popular because it has an insanely low barrier to entry, so that’s what gets taught in schools and boot camps. Then that’s all Jr devs know entering the work force. Companies don’t invest in mentoring juniors and cultivating talent anymore, so as the seniors get poached, retire, or move into later stages of their career, JS is the only skill left.
I wouldn’t say any agreement from before Covid was foolish. That was a revolutionary event in our society. I’d say any agreement made after 2020 would be though. And since most agreements are on 5 year contracts, why are they renewing? Every company should have reduced or eliminated their office space by now. If they had 10 or 15 year agreements, they need to learn to just eat that cost.
Amazon and others 100% used RTO as a “soft layoff” which I’m not sure if I like more or less than them just doing an honest layoff. At least workers had the opportunity to find jobs elsewhere without finding themselves suddenly without income.
75% or more of corporate office space needs to be converted to apartments. I know it’s not a simple process, but it’s the best way to deal with empty office space. It also helps drive population density, which helps businesses like grocers, restaurants, and convenience stores.
Individuals don’t typically pay taxes themselves. They get deducted from paychecks. Employers do this before we even get paid. So companies would need to support this. But then you have some like my employer who has hundreds of people in California but is based in another state. How is that going to work? This just isn’t as easy as residents just deciding not to.
In this economy they were probably just being contrarian to get another free meal and some more pocket change.
