They somehow wrote in monthly "spousal maintenance" or similar payments in the prenup. It's weird, but legal and enforceable in many states.

Jones probably chooses to try and keep some money in the family by sending it to his wife. I don't really know if there's a debtor hierarchy for this sort of thing, but until somebody challenges it, he's going to keep doing it.

I can personally attest to entire universities advocating for student use of powerpoint for all sorts of printshop work to include thesis and capstone presentation posters for conferences :)

For people who don't want to spend time learning yet another single-purpose application, it works quite well

There's no answer which is both easy and 'just.'

Let's assume that financial slavery is not something that the United States allows. We shouldn't force a person to live the rest of their life allocating 100% of their income to garnish debts. That's indentured slavery with extra legal steps. I think that's probably a reasonable take for most of the population.

Let's also assume that you don't get a ~1.5 aggregate billion dollar judgement against you without you being responsible for it. This dude clearly has been judged by society and the result is that he needs to remit payment to atone for his mistakes. His previous business status and incomes may have eventually been able to pay that off, but the mere existence of the judgement completely obliterates his ability to pay. We're in limbo here - it seems wrong to let him continue being himself, as that's a big reason why he's been judged against in the first place, but not letting him be himself hurts his ability to make good on the payments required of him.

If the government seizes his assets, he will in no way be able to cover the full amounts that have been ordered. The people will get some small portion of what they are owed. Nobody really is made whole. Alex Jones 'loses,' but continues to live. How much money should he be allowed to keep to himself for rent, utilities, food, transportation, liberties, etc? Should that money instead be actively sent to the other parties in perpetuity until the debt is repaid? Does Alex Jones have any incentive to keep living in that case? Are we then indirectly advocating for death as a result of the inability to repay civil debts?

I'm just going on a rant at this point. Sucks for the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre and all those who have had to deal with his bullshit. I don't think anybody will ever be made whole or happy from this train of events, but I know for sure that there's a line that we as a society shouldn't entertain crossing.

I think it's about time for society to have some frank discussions about this. As I understand it, he's still at the helm because not having him in charge of these companies would hurt their ability to function, as he's the sole reason people even pay them attention.

Having him in charge, spewing rhetoric and generally existing in spite of numerous civil judgements, continues to harm a portion of the population.

I don't think he can be sent to prison for these specific civil judgments but I'm not a lawyer. He's presumably paying for the court fines (to the governments bodies) but not the civil judgements (to the individual parties who have sued him). Seizing his businesses will almost certainly reduce their value, but it's probably worth more than the near $0 that he's currently paying back as ordered.

If this were happening to any non-rich person, they'd be living in squalor or severely under-employed to fight the system. They don't get to spend more money in a month than the average American makes in a year, no matter the games they are playing.

What happened next? Was he mocking you or telling a joke that he thought you would enjoy?

What a strange encounter

After having a child’s iPad start to fail charging, I welcome our new USB-C overlords. I’ve never had any USB-C device have problems with the ports.

Id much rather replace cables twice as often than replace the devices with the same frequency.

I’m a big fan of creating thousands of folders with machine generated names to house my 27,000 Java files with, you guess it, more machine generated names.

I was prepared to roll my eyes after their introduction which was pure conjecture, but they they started pushing data. Individually these strange practices aren’t conclusive evidence for malware, but combined it’s hard to see any legitimate use for this kind of design for a company acting in good faith.

Feels like any car after around 2000 has an integrated head unit with other controls. Not easy or possible in many cases remove it without impacting the functionality of the car.

Have... you been in a new car in the last 20 years?

I don't get how holding up military appointments (and thus, promotions) can be done for any reasons outside of concerns for the ability to perform. It makes sense to hold up a position, a single position, out of many due to how an individual has performed in the past and allow for some discourse on the individual's suitability. That's completely reasonable and perhaps even desired.

How a single senator holds up hundreds of such individuals over something completely unrelated to the job performance of these flag officers is bewildering. The justification is bullshit.

My guess is that Cleon I (himself via the chamber, or via some sort of dual-personality presence with Demerzel) has been racking up memories this whole time because he isn’t truly gone.

Perhaps Empire had some analogue to the Prime Radiant, where his consciousness is tied to Demerzel in exchange for her continued existence.

From what I gather, each clone only gets their 75years of memories before they are put down for the next in line. With memory editing, they’ve slowly been getting smaller and smaller memory banks.

I want to have a title like “commander of the reconnaissance platoon of the 37th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 36th Combined Arms Army of the Eastern Military District of the Russian Federation”

I'd say so. I have more faith in Apple keeping this show alive longer than Amazon or Netflix would have.

I think we're up to 5 or so different plot lines occurring at any given time per episode, so chances are you'd be interested in at least something going on.

This has been my favorite episode of the entire show.

The good: learning about the secrets between Cleon I and Demerzel continues to move in unexpected directions.

The bad: Hober Mallow acts as a Deus Ex Machina at the most convenient of times.

The ugly: keeping track of the mentalics story is a bit much for my normal brain. It's been a long, slow burn with conflicting information given to the viewer at several points.

Article is light on specifics. This may be related to a teacher who sore prosthetic breasts under a tight shirt a little while ago. It also might not. Who knows?

FSR really shows it’s limitations when you’re running a low resolution to begin with. I want to like it, but it’s pretty noticeable and jarring with every game I’ve tried it with, including BG3.

The FBI has removed malware from personal devices before and will likely continue to unless forbidden to via legislation.

No easy solution.

It's easy to ask that professionals who are not medically qualified step down, but what are those people to do with their months (years) of training and certifications? We can't realistically reimburse them for their time and money spent. Those skills may or may not be applicable to a similar compensating job. Losing their job in many areas leads to loss of health care options.

Add to that the existing and forecasted pilot shortages...

I think an off ramping program which turned medically-disqualified pilots into trainers with some sort of state sponsorship could help ease many of these concerns. Might look like a national pilot school or a 5 year contract for providing training at local private schools.
