It is entirely fitting that Mitch McConnell is fillibustering Death itself

I am not an economist, but if you think of prices in terms of supply and demand, then when there is more demand, prices go up.

When the interest rate is super low, there isn’t much incentive to save money, so consumers spend more, and business take out loans to do more stuff. All of that creates more demand.

When the interest rate is higher, consumers tend to save more money, and businesses are hesitant to take out those loans to expand. All of that decreases demand.

I’m in the camp where I’m not gonna instantly shit on this, since whoever is making the PTA flyers is probably a volunteer and will use whatever tools at their disposal to get the job done quickly…

I especially like that several of them mixed up the middle school’s mascot with the high school across the street.

… But that’s no excuse to make an obvious mistake like that. And the fact that AI means these are so easy to make should also mean they are easy to re-make so they are correct.

The hackers said they were able to access the Android system on the camera, and found two partitions—sections of its hard-drive, essentially. A few of these were unencrypted, the hackers said, including one called “vendor” and another called “media.” The latter contained an encryption key that unlocked another part, which contained much of the media—think, the videos and stills—the camera took.

Lol

Not common at all. Wikipedia lists only 4 cities, and one of those was never actually used as a living space by any of the mayors.

They seem to all be gifts from a rich person to the city.

I don’t agree at all with the idea of sending kids to a protest like this, but I just want to point out that “Mamdani’s home” right now is really Gracie Mansion, the official residence* of the NYC Mayor**.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gracie_Mansion

*(Unless said mayor is getting divorced, then his soon-to-be ex wife kicks him out…)

**(Or, unless the mayor is a gazillionaire with his own mansion that’s better, thank you very much)

My point is that it’s not like they doxxed him, they all know where he lives.

Um Ackshually, his job is to nominate the judge, then the Senate gets to vote to approve it or not. (Or just ignore it! Thanks, Mitch!)

So, while there wasn’t an “interview”, in the same sense of a job interview, he probably talked to them all to brag about himself and extract a loyalty pledge before making the formal nomination. (He likely just got the names off a list the Heritage Foundation gave him, anyway).

Your vote is tied directly to where you live here, all political offices cover some territory (a state, city, district, village, town, etc). So your vote is directly tied to where you live.

But it’s not necessarily the case that the state always knows where someone lives. Yes, there are property deeds and utility bills and what-not, but there is no official place where everyone’s addresses are held.

Therefore, “Registering to Vote” is really more like registering your address, so they know which ballot you need to vote on. Even ex-pats what no longer live in the country (but are still citizens) get to vote at the last US address they lived at.

There isn’t always an “unregistration” process either. When you move, you just re-register. Since most of these are administered at the State level, if you move between States you may end up registered in two places. In most cases, that is perfectly legal! You only break the law if you actually vote in the same election in more than one place.

Even worse when you consider the exchange rate, 7 points in Australia is probably only about 5 points here

This can sometimes happen if the filesystem has failed or is otherwise inaccessible. SSH needs to read config files and if it can’t, it fails to connect. It would try to write a failure to the log, but can’t.

Things that don’t require filesystem access, and can run totally from processes in memory interacting with hardware, would be fine. So your Ethernet stack works, and so does ping. A serial port would probably work. SNMP would work, too, for anything that doesn’t need to get a metric from the filesystem. I bet if you had a remote syslog server, you would get the logs that are falling out of your filesystem.

There is a punishment, on paper. You can be fined for not filling it out, or fined more for willfully lying on it. But, they have no enforcement arm, so it would be up to the Justice Dept to press charges, and I doubt they would bother.

The census is mandatory, as others have noted. It is used for determining how many House seats each state gets, so it is important that it is accurate. And the Supreme Court has interpreted it to mean that an actual count has to be gathered everywhere, and that you can’t use statistical methods to derive the actual count.

So, even if they already have the information by some other means, they still need every household to give an affirmative response to the form. And if you ignore the form, they knock on your door to ask. While they may have other questions they want you to answer, you are only obligated to tell them how many people live there, and their ages.

(Edit: I looked it up, and I was wrong. They send a longer form to some households at random, and if you get that, you are technically obligated to answer all of those questions as well. )

Visitors don’t need to be counted, but anyone with legal permission to live here does, regardless of citizenship.

In a few weeks, we’ll find that the Kennedy Center has been sold in a “bankruptcy” sale at below-market price to real estate developer John Barron…

He already made billions grifting everyone (and taking bribes) with crypto. A good chunk of those assets have been cashed out into more durable things (like good friends who pay for weddings ).

Would he prefer it if he made more? Of course. But he may go along with a provision like this, as long as it explicitly limits enforcement before a certain date, so he can move on to other grifts.

He is easily America’s Greatest Hero

No, that was another guy
