Yep. There was one on the Sunday comics page every week when I was a kid, and I learned how to do it then. I never understood the people who can’t do it, or thought it was fake.

Takes a while to get a jury together. The legal system is very slow, even in easy cases; and trying to find an unbiased jury makes it even harder.

If you haven’t, I highly recommend reading “Superman Smashes the Klan.” An all-timer, based on a radio story from 1946, which was honestly its own kind of ballsy.

Gotcha, thanks. I must’ve missed that one.

Yeah, I think the goal is to eventually make it irrespective of seniority, but right now he’s the only one with 15+ years of institutional knowledge on the application, so he’s trying to pass on as much as he can to reduce our bus factor.

Oh neat, our team does this but we call it “WTF Wednesday.” Usually the most senior engineer digs back into our incident log and tries to reproduce it in our dev environment, and we live-solve with him playing the role of the customer.

He also thinks that the number of lines of code produced is a relevant measure of productivity, so him not understanding this isn’t super surprising.

I assume it’s a joke about Elon asking for developers to willingly put their code into a predatory but apparently welcoming input for digestion.

My math was assuming that most users do charge every night, and again during the day 2-3 times a month. 365 + (12x3) = 401. So it seems like we have both ends of standard usage. They’ve basically just said that this battery will only last one year of standard usage before they intentionally hobble it.

If that’s for safety reasons, they need to stop putting unsafe hardware into their handsets.

Yeah, ok, fine, but he’s also famously contradictory. You have to believe the worst promise of any politician, but him especially.

400 cycles? So, a year? One year.

I’m sure that he thinks so.

ALL

THIS

Should, yes. Along with packing the court, expanding the House, instituting term limits, instituting nationwide ranked choice voting, eliminating ICE, and closing as many loopholes in executive power as they possibly can over the course of four years.

Of course, given the current DNC leadership’s track record, Project 2029 is probably just an index card with “rename ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ to ‘the Andrew M. Cuomo Federal Immigration Detention Facility’” and “Can We Officially Scowl At Donald Trump on the record?” right now. We need to primary everyone, at all levels, who doesn’t have an actionable plan and the will to carry it out.

I need everyone to understand that this isn’t new. J. Edgar Hoover was also a chaotic, bizarrely obsessive FBI director who intimidated his staff and thought he could rule with an iron fist. This is just the FBI going back to its roots.

Well, the Department of Education is a part of the Executive Branch, so the NCAA has a financial incentive to go along with Trump’s EOs or lose funding.

I’m not saying that EOs are completely toothless, and I’m also not saying that he won’t try. I’m just saying that they can’t do absolutely anything; and specifically, they can’t directly impact the Judiciary.

He can do it, but it won’t matter. EOs directed at something outside of the Executive Branch are basically just announcements.

Executive orders can only instruct the Executive Branch to take some sort of action. While the Department of Justice is a part of the Executive Branch, it consists of the government’s lawyers, not of the government’s judges. The judicial branch is outside the purview of the Executive Branch, and so out of reach of a Trump EO.

Now, would he still try? Of course he would. But it would have the same legal weight as Michael Scott yelling “I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!!”

Well, what do you know, even a racist clock is white twice a day.

I’m really excited to get time to check it out. Maybe this weekend.
