Countries willing to pass on a US patent to China stop getting the chips (or, in this case, chip-making jobs, realistically, but that still hurts)

Also Taiwan doesn’t wanna help China and even if a US sanction was just an excuse to hurt China and get away with it they’d probably do it.

Edit: in this case, this chip is “foreign-produced items […] that are the direct product of U.S. technology or software”, according to the article. I feel it was implied but clarity is always good. US technology, used with permission in a Taiwanese good, and that permission could be retracted.

Nah it propagates. I wanna say it goes at light speed, but there is a delay. If this is actually referencing something new, maybe that’s different now.

Most states have their own minimum wage laws at this point. Not all of them. So this will help a handful of mostly-red states.

Most satellites are in low-earth orbit where drag is minimal, not nonexistent. Further out adds too much latency and weakens the signal too much for most commercial applications.

They mean inbred, yeah. Percentage-wise, the southeastern States are more inbred (https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/most-inbred-states).

There’s a general perception that the south is very inbred. These numbers back that up, but also suggest that that perception is overblown.

That is genuinely the argument insurance companies would use, and they’re allowed to charge more for more risk, that’s the basis of insurance.

No one’s guilty, and insurance companies stent courts. If they had to do an innocent before guilty, everyone would get one free car wreck and you wouldn’t pay monthly for insurance until you wrecked someone.

The conspiracy part is that he’s owned by Russia.

But while i believe in this specific conspiracy, if we put all speculation aside, trump has said repeatedly that he loves talking to Putin and Kim. We don’t need a conspiracy to conclude hes on Russia’s side, just to determine the power balance there.

For mail-ins, yeah, you sign it to do the final “I authorize this document to be my vote”.

If you don’t authorize it, it’s not legally your vote.

That was Illinois but honestly it’s just obvious in any state with a recreational/medicinal use law.

It’s ridiculous they’re allowed to keep using it as an excuse in general.

Shuffles by one if it has to, but anyone with a boss can just be replaced because that higher authority exists.

Usually this is discussed with just the president, who has no higher authority, or in the case of mass death like nuclear war, with an assumption that we lose a good chunk of the government. But not this conversation, where VP matters more than P for certification.

I did the same thing. It was allowed in general, with the correct thought, “if you can code it yourself, you know the content”

I had another “program” that would fail to run but that’s because I wrote notes into it. Doubt that was allowed.

Completely agree.

The only reason the relative had it at all was because of those old fears. As soon as I learned that they had it bundled with the computer (hate that. Malware’s gotta get in somewhere though I guess), I knew why it was being slow.

I hold this up as an example because even their own troubleshooting website and a program dedicated to the purpose above and beyond the usual uninstaller couldn’t do it though. Avast doesn’t even know its own malware.

Also this nonsense got me the chance to put mint on their computer, but the “switch to Linux” argument isn’t constructive in this particular spot. They didn’t end up sticking to it because a required-for-school piece of software for tests just doesn’t do Linux at all. Couldn’t get it to run in wine or even a virtual machine either, and they’re not great at the whole computer thing so I didn’t wanna be tech support for dual booting.

Here’s an example. I removed avast via the uninstaller on a relatives computer, it made it laggy as hell. I restart after as the uninstaller demands, but it was still there.

Searching, I find this official support option. https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/10

The official Avast Uninstall Tool, the tool to use when the included uninstaller didn’t work.

The official uninstall tool didn’t work either. I ran it in safe mode, like it said. Didn’t work, either, but it removed some stuff, and finally let me delete some things manually. Ran it again in safe mode after that, finally seems to have removed everything.

Anyway it’s a great example of if a company doesn’t know what they’re about, windows has no process to recover from that. Window’s process is identical to a Walmart employee saying. “I dunno, man, contact the manufacturer.” Genuinely, its usually enough, but when its not, there’s absolutely no recourse.

The issue here is because they’re linked by the owner. If one stock goes up/down, the other does too. This has happened repeatedly with these two companies specifically, even.

So although they don’t own stock in the company in question, they still have a stock in seeing it succeed. Its success will bring about their own financial gain.

The fact that this issue was voiced and they specifically took the action that raises questions about authenticity also means we must question if that’s even the goal. If this went to a different judge, after all, one with no bias, then if this judge is unbiased, he should expect the same outcome. Of course, if he were biased and intended to give a biased ruling to take advantage of the chance to directly increase his wealth, then we’d expect him to be reluctant to let another judge rule on it. He could miss his financial opportunity, after all.

Tips are just added to what you made so yeah, it counts wherever an hourly wage counts.

However the current system just gets people not to report tips, so realistically they’re paying a lot less into SS anyway. It’s basically just the government going “alright let’s make that official instead of tax fraud”

Well she can’t be fired and the campaign finances are officially hers.

Nothing really biden could do. I suppose he could endorse Trump, technically.

And a great resume builder for the Democrat candidate after harris down the line.

Well they still have a finite life and are less replaceable than a battery. Even if it quadrupled the lifespan (which is a reasonably generous estimate given OP’s 4-year duration and wikipedia telling me supercapacitors last 10-15 years), it would still eventually need to be replaced and that would generally require resoldering it.

I think a much better solution is 2 battery slots, one to be a backup battery, unused, and then when needed, an LED on the mobo can be turned on. Honestly OP could jury-rig up a similar system if he wanted to, although it’d be a bit ugly and anytime something is jury-rigged I don’t really think of it as reliable.

The only real solution is to make this an extended maintenance task. The batteries are cheap so an alert every 4 years is likely sufficient to replace the battery before it dies. You could do it every 2 or 3 years instead at your discretion.

In fact the answer was a series of definitions of new biggest numbers, and you only defined one, instead of defining it, using it for its value of trees, then using that new term for more trees.
