I am sure the originalists will point out that there was no Republican party when the constitution was written. Therefore that could not have been the meaning.

I suck a bowling. I enjoy it enough to support others learning the sport. Mostly just supporting someone else playing.
Edit: depersonalization
Bowlero is crazy expensive. Smoke free and has okay food. A good experience for a kids party.
I prefer independent bowling alleys, but I am not actually there to bowl.
If it works, it is not stupid.
But does it work?
Why? Beats me.

Using poorly stored condoms. Heat, direct sunlight, and friction are some of the biggest threats to a condom’s durability. You should avoid using condoms stored in your wallet or glove compartment for long. The friction and heat in these areas might contribute to breakage. Condoms are meant to be stored in cool dark areas, away from direct sunlight.
That was their own AI. If CVS' AI claimed a recall, it could be a problem.
Need to keep condoms cool. Body heat, over a long time, will increase chances of failure. The condom in the wallet is a "baby maker".
Yup. Throw in multiple levels of contractors in various counties and guaranteed AI is being used. (Think subcontractor's employee using AI to keep up.)
AI is a great spying tool.
It would take years to negotiate trade deals. No sanctions needed.
I am shocked how few people know Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings? Bees (females) going flower to flower, pollinating.
I hope those are single user bathrooms. It just simplifies things.
USA is huge and education is largely decentralized. Results are ALL over the place.
Sure. Gonna put that next to all of the other moral failings.
The last person cannot revoke the right to make commits.
I have no idea what that implies about the right to change the license.
Good. Nothing will get us through the hype cycle faster than obvious public failure. Then we can get on with productive uses.

Hello friends. Work email is crushing me. The ticketing systems, plural, email me on everyone's tucket. (Because some people only work tickets via email and others through the web interface.)
Are there any email clients or servers that allow new email to land somewhere other than the inbox? Or allow my view to start elsewhere?
I declare email bankruptcy daily....
Send whiskey.
Edit: I was unclear.
I have filtering, but those all happen after the mail is in the Inbox. I get a quarter second of crazy emails and previews and things moving, then they are gone. (Outlook sucks.)
I don't even want to see that shit. Not at all.
The Change ransomware attack left an Oregon medical practice with an empty bank account, and only one quick way to fix it: sell to UnitedHealth.
> Last Thursday, the medical colossus UnitedHealthcare applied for an emergency exemption that would fast-track its takeover of a medical practice in Corvallis, Oregon, in a letter warning regulators that the practice might close its doors if the merger were not approved right away.

Pretty sure I will be asking a lawyer, but I want to learn more words and concepts first.
A possible new job wants to own any intellectual property I create and wants me to declare anything I want to keep as my own. This seems normal in my industry as they will be paying me to do some thinking.
Issue is that I have a number of ideas I have been developing. I am going to float some of them as products in my own time, though this may be years from now. Most of these are outside the current market for the company as far as I know.
How is this typically handled? I presume I don't need to have copyrights or trademarks prior and can just list tentative titles.
I am also a little unclear on the spread between "intellectual property" and "an idea I am playing with".
Thoughts? Concepts to investigate?
Edit: I did Internet search this, but I have not found working keywords.
I'LL TELL you this, but you'll have to promise that it will go no further. Not long after we moved here we had the people next door round for dinner and - I swear this is true - they drove.
Article from 1999, referenced study likely from earlier.
> The average American walks less than 75 miles a year - about 1.4 miles a week, barely 350 yards a day.
Thank you to @urlyman@mastodon.social for pointing this out.

> "I don't know if you saw this study the other day, but what this study clearly shows, is when people have the ability to come downtown to an office and don't, when they stay home, sitting on their couch with their nasty cat blanket diddling on their laptop ... if they do that for a few months, you become a loser! It's a study. We're not losers, are we?"
Be careful who gets to hold a gun to your head.
The great Jeff Vogel discusses the Unity event.
There is evidence that standing is better for the human body than sitting. For work we have standing desks for computer work and such. Some aim to stand 8+ hours a day.
What about for other activities? How do the unemployed, retired, and homemarkers get in enough standing? Are there good ways to stand while reading a book, or sipping a coffee and enjoying the dawn?
While looking for uses for old disposable AA batteries, I ran across the Batteriser from 2015. Clearly, it was a flop of some sort, as I am posting in 2024. What happened? Are there any iterations that do work?

Also, are there any uses for old batteries?
A federal court rejected a rehearing of Berkeley's ban on new natural gas appliances, putting similar regulations in Oakland and elsewhere in doubt.
On Tuesday, Jan. 2, a federal appeals court declined to rehear the case of Berkeley’s ban on new natural gas hookups, which was struck down by a panel of judges in April 2023.
> Last week's spectacular OpenAI soap-opera hijacked the attention of millions of normal, productive people and nonsensually crammed them full of the fine details of the debate between "Effective Altruism" (doomers) and "Effective Accelerationism" (AKA e/acc), a genuinely absurd debate that was allegedly at the center of the drama.
Does anyone know when Costco will be getting the boxes of Chex for making Chex mix? (Has the three varieties needed in one box.)
Pretend the $20 million is guaranteed, and if anything will increase slightly over time.
What problems could be significantly improved for $20 million?
(I am dreaming of winning the $1.55 billion Powerball drawling. Then taking the lumpsum, posting taxes, investing, and spending 4% each and every year. I understand that the actual may be more, or less than the started amount.)
I have started to receive junk mail (actual junk mail) for a car I do not own.
I do not know what state it is registered in, but do know the make, model, and year of the car.
How do I check if there really is an unknown car registered to me? I assume it could be in any of the 50 states.
There are a lot of news articles about "back to the office", but they recirculate the same bad ideas. Let's provide some new ideas for the media to circulate. It may also have the effect of making the office less terrible.
I would like my work computer to do Windows updates lightning quick in the office. It currently takes weeks, in or out of the office. Stopping in for a day makes no difference, so there is no point. Now, if there was a point, I would go in.
What would get you in the office?
