I think he was being facetious. What the OP alleges [1] Hillary did is crooked and corrupted by any reasonable standard, if not illegal; which says more about out laws than or does redeem the corrupt. [1] "alleges" because I don&#

I know I like "classical" music, but I dont know what. The problem is getting to know it. The barrier to entry is so large. Imagine if someone said "I like pop music" if they're 80, they'd be talking about bubb

Its big news because folks like gold bugs have been sounding the alarm that there's a lot of fake metal circulating keeping metals artificially low (implying the West is far more broke than it seems) Take it however you want, but the L

But you have 40+ engineering improvement on his VW. And the last 40 years have been revolutionary for engine performance. In the end cars got heavier and their cross sections bigger. Killed all the would be fuel improvements

Ya, thats kinda (rules aren't clear) not allowed in the US because of air bags. Apparently if the airbag went off it would blow up since its unable to expand (?). Or something.

Three car seats for kids aged 1.5 to 7 don't really sit side by side in a mid-size SUV like a Sorrento. Its stupid, really. Hefty, booster seats from reputable brands seats have integrated cup holders. Cup holders. Also, consider that

Agreed... so whinny. I spent an hour [edit: today] arguing that the speed limit should be reduced to 25 mph. So many problems would be solved if we did that. But, when my Golf dies, I will be a full-size truck or an expedition. What can I s

Sure, but my point is that if the highest of rights - the constitutional ones - can be forfeited in jail, surely rights set in law can be lost or suspended.

They're in jail, by definition they have a restricted set of constitutional rights (they are incarcerated, ie they are not free!) For example, they can't own firearms. It may seem obvious that a person in jail can't possesses

If a bank is giving depositors unparalleled benefits to bank with them [1], alarm bells should ring. Let me be blunt. The last place I'd do my personal banking is the local bank of a region who's mantra includes: "move fast a

While I sympathize with them more than I would a tech bro, the principle is the same. What would happen if this happened to an employer's bank in Indiana? Your company's assets don't exist any more and you're insolvent.

Tech is a very high risk-high reward; its not so much that low interest rates favor high tech, but rather that high interest rates decimate high tech.

The irony as a fly-over-American is great. We are constantly and sanctimoniously told we have to move from our cities and towns to the Coastal regions. When toxic chemicals are spilled we're ignored, or worse - mocked. We're told

Your company is the equity holder. You loosing last months paycheck is no different than what happens in the rest of the country any time an employer declares insolvency. Also, I don't think people in SV appreciate how much rancor a

Dont confuse the issue. No one has a problem with creditors getting as much of their money as possible by selling assets. The problem is that SVB's book value of assets is far smaller than the debts. Imagine their value on a firesale

I like your drivers point. I guess I could disable the printer's wifi and USB it to a rpi4 acting as a printer server. Ironically this new printer works great with my 20 year old SGI Fuel (which I lovingly keep), while I cant figure ou

1. Didn't think of setting no gateway. 2. I don't trust an HP printer to, on occasion, try DHCP or change a setting (or look at an open wifi network but that wouldnt be the routers fault) to get an update.

Yuck. But the worse is how the pen/pencil writes on it. I easily lost half a grade letter on classes where the examiner provided cheap paper to hand in (my typically good handwriting collapses and I couldn't follow my own work)

I just bought an HP color laser printer this week. This despite knowing HP's shenanigans, but COSTCO has too good a deal and the wife really wanted a good modern printer (we have an HP 4Plus). I admit, it prints beautifully. In the set

They can produce a warrant to turn over what is already there. They cant force one to continue proving that service. Thats a violation of the third amendment. Of course there no case law on the third to determine if one has to continue to g
