I assume his nonprofit is finding people with arrest warrants, and telling police where they're located?

10% everywhere would be a decisive victory for Biden. Polls would only need to be off by about 1.2% to flip Texas in that case, which isn't entirely implausible.

Diplomatic immunity is the inability for someone visiting as a diplomat, which would include a US president visiting another country, to be held to a crime or civil penalty, with countries welcome to expel them for abusing this. I don't think that applies.

But a US president who is also a felon could technically be denied correctly by immigration officials, but could reach out to the prime minister to get this fixed, probably in advance.

Not them, but for all the negative consequences we've seen as a result of his policies, Reagan is my pick for the worst US president. So many problems in modern America trace back to things he broke.

We don't have enough hindsight to say how Trump compares for sure, it's possible he'll end up having been worse, even if he isn't elected again, but only time will tell.

Yup. Authoritarians often criminalize their opponents to prevent them from running, like Putin did to Navalny. Even if banning felons from office could have positive effects, it's also a dangerous flaw that bad actors in power could exploit to maintain their power.

The system isn't quite designed to do what many of us think it should do, but at times, it can get close.

Unfortunately, there's a good chance you're right, and this isn't one of those times.

I suspect some people will mental gymnastics themselves into thinking this isn't a serious crime, and stipulating an abstract 'serious crime' yields more extreme results than we'll see as a result of this verdict.

But a few percentage point swing in a few key states is enough to ensure a Biden victory, so it may be enough.

IANAL, but If I'm understanding this correctly, because he was found guilty of class E felonies, there is technically a minimum of 1 year in prison, but if the court:

is of the opinion that a sentence of imprisonment is necessary but that it would be unduly harsh to impose an indeterminate or determinate sentence, the court may impose a definite sentence of imprisonment and fix a term of one year or less.

Which seems like an alternative minimum. It seems like there will be additional evaluations as part of sentencing, which may or may not be postponed by appeals. He may get up to 4 years per count (which I'm assuming would be concurrent), maybe 1, maybe less if the court finds that it would be harsh to do so.

I'd watch those folders, especially the UPLOAD_LOCATION, when it's uploading. Are they being written? Do they persist, or are they being deleted? See if you can upload a single image through the web client, and observe that behavior too.

And sometimes people have a name commonly associated with a different gender. A guy named Hilary, or a woman named Max or Justin are likely to get misgendered in written communications without including pronouns. Or anybody named Alex stands a chance of it.

I certainly hope they're talking to a lawyer about the school's discriminatory conduct, about whether they might win, and if it's worth fighting.

Whether the first amendment applies or not is a question worth asking them, I'm not sure it's quite so simple. If a state told a Muslim employee they couldn't pray while on the clock, I would very much expect a first amendment claim. I don't think this is so clear, but a public university telling an employee they can't include relevant information like their pronouns for discriminatory reasons seems plausible.

Yeah I'd rather see an Internet community keep a mod who has shown they're capable of introspection then they made a mistake, than try and pretend they can find a new mod who won't make mistakes.

Can Maury moderate it? Bring in some family members before they reveal the test results, maybe some videos played to tell us a bit more about them

There are also lots of home remedies that doctors actually recommend. I had a doctor teach me a technique for using a shower a bit like a netty pot, to keep my sinuses clean, and it's great. I've shared it with a few people when it made sense. Sorting out the useful home remedies from the useless or harmful pseudoscience is harder than it should be, though.

My understanding was closer to "signal of dire distress", in that it's a statement more than a request.

But the insurrection was definitely direly distressing, so it works

the very foundation of an abortion ban is an assumption that a woman’s body does not belong to her. Abusive men agree.

I'm at a loss for a phrase that expresses the opposite of "unlikely allies" correctly. That I'm surprised, not that they're working together, but that it took them so long to do openly

I see what you're saying. As an isolated event it's pretty meh. Maybe it sucks for the two people who used it.

In a sense, Musk was betting that Twitter's API was undermonitized, and by raising the price, he'd make more money than he'd lose in people leaving the platform. He bet Twitter's relevance against some money. Yeah, not a lot of people used it on Switch, but every rejection of his bet, that Twitter isn't worth the price, hurts Musk's bottom line. And it's kinda on him; Nintendo isn't defying him, he was just wrong.

A couple of speed tests will give you most accurate results if you really need them. fast.com tends to estimate my speeds a bit higher than ookla or Google's tests, but they're all clustered within about 5Mbps.

One outlier in either direction would also be an interesting result, but I have yet to observe that.

If the gym won't let you cancel your membership, this is certainly a way of handling it.

Because nobody buys them? I have a reasonably nice 1080p60 dumb TV, and when I decide I want to upgrade, I'll be looking at 4k (or maybe 8k) signage displays. Being part of an app ecosystem at this point is a design defect on a TV, and the superior product costs more, so fewer people buy it.

I also suspect the usable life of a smart TV is a lot lower, to the point that paying twice as much for a signage TV may not equate to twice the price in the long run. Fewer parts outside the panel that can slow down or fail entirely
