Pedantic arguments aside, congress does all of that too. > The executive branch conducts investigations, >> Essentially, the Court held that the Constitution's text implies a power to investigate given its power to legislate.

Right, but the presidential branch doesn't do investigations, or congressional hearings, or have the subpoena power that the congressional branch does (like we're seeing in the Jan 6th committee). They have a lot of investigatory

You don't need the presidency for that. You just need to be the majority party in congress because the majority party controls the committees and agenda. Congressional midterm elections are this year.

Not to defend this practice at all, but when I was looking into crypto mining a fair bit ago, the bar to entry was quite large even for someone in the tech space. There didn't seem to be a simple app you just download and start. You ha

I've only heard of it through China In Focus on YouTube. Our free press doesn't really report much on China. From what I've seen though, it would pass as pretty good comedy in the US. It's really over the top, similar to

IIRC, PoP was revolutionary in the way the character moved. It was fluid and natural. A big step up from a blocky character just moving around with no motion. I remember being mesmerized as a kid in Jr High on the C64 when it came out and i

One field that needs it is editing 4k+ HDR content that has 16 steps or more of dynamic range. All of the blacks would blend together on lower output monitors like 400nits. Really need like 1000. Here's a decent 18.4", but it cost

I did something similar in college in the 90's, except using cut crystals. One laser in, hundreds of beams out (faded, of course). You know the kind of faceted crystal balls that some people put in their cars and hang from the rearview

Quite the contrary. I was out in the forests all last summer (over 2 solid months) exploring forest roads, camping, fishing and doing work at night via starlink. I haven't experienced that much life in a long time. Made for some fun an

Western OR is the same way. Portland rarely gets snow, so we have basically no snow plows and have to just wait it out. It's also rare that the snow isn't preceded by a lot of rain, so they don't use deicer unless it's d

This is my first PC build, out of about 15-20 or so in the last 30 years going back to the 386sx16, that does not have an intel processor. I'm very happy with the price/performance of the 5950x.
