The Geneva convention doesn't apply to your own citizens, just to war. The US made sure they had that exception in hand

When they formally banned tear gasses (including this specific one) in 1993, since the Geneva convention only had a loose definition, the US again reserved an exception for domestic use.

So yes. The US has promised they wouldn't use tear gas against any other country because that's inhumane and too horrible, regardless of the reason for war. But it's fine if they use it on protestors. That's totally fine, they shouldn't have gotten too rowdy.

Functionally eliminated isn't the same thing as eliminated.

No gerrymandering affecting the presidential election sounds nice, still though

There are better ones out there, that one in particular had some iffy reviews about voltages, but yeah they definitely exist.

I usually see them labeled as "power supply adapter for [AA,AAA,etc]".

Your wall outlet is AC but a battery is DC, so a pure wire setup is not so much a safety thing as it is just incompatible. A good fire starter.

So you'll have to convert it, which makes for a big, bulky plug.

On top of that, you'll need prior knowledge of the battery layout, including whether they're parallel or serial. Usually parallel, but not a guarantee.

All of this isn't insurmountable, but is enough to make it not the norm. They do, in fact, already exist

According to The arch wiki, x11vnc operates differently than some other servers and is not capable of going headless. You'd need the dummy plug.

On that same page, though, it lists the alternative to x11vnc as Xvnc, and links to TigerVNC which is capable of going headless, and has an example config for going headless.

I haven't tested tigerVNC specifically, but it's known, so I expect this is the solution to your problem.

Off the top of my head, the only way I can think of is to install steam using docker, and install SF6 on dockerized steam.

Then you've converted the problem to either configuring docker to use ipv4 internally or setting up the container to ignore ipv6, both of which are doable.

There's a good chance it'll be perfectly playable but without trying it out or doing more research than I've invested here, it's not a guarantee.

My pi 3 has struggled with some particular codecs or large (greater than 5 hours) videos. I'm not proficient enough to say that it wasn't my fault in some way, some config option, but it was a near thing, regardless. A pi 4 or 5 should do it flawlessly, and my pi 3 works more reliably than my roku, even with that flaw.

WiFi, as long as your router isn't ancient, will be more than enough. Latency isn't a factor, and you can get HD streaming at well under 100 Mbps, the upper limit of most routers. My router, in another room with walls from an old house that destroy my signal, still gives me about 20, which is enough for 1080p.

I will say a pi 3 feels fairly laggy just using it to browse online. It does much better as a streaming box. The pi 5 I just got yesterday is much snappier, feels great to use. The 4gb model is 60$ right now, although I got the 8gb model.

All this was on default raspberry pi OS with kodi installed as an app. Very little to set up besides getting the media itself shared in your preferred way.

Both!

It seems not a slam dunk here, to me, specifically because of the first section. Starbucks is not required to offer non-dairy milk as an accommodation, according to your first quote.

Since Starbucks is not required to offer non-dairy milk, that last paragraph doesn't apply at all, because they aren't charging more for a required accommodation.

I'm sure all the good ones quit and he uses spray tan on the recommendation of someone who's business card says "tarot reading/tanning specialist/crystal healer/hair stylist".

Disks are for games I want to be able to pull out of a box 10 years from now and go "oh man I remember this". I have the box from a DSi that I filled with GBA games, and a shelf for Switch and PS4 games that, when they're retired for something else, it'd be nice to come back to once in a while. My daughter has gotten into my GBA games lately, so that's been nice.

PC games, they're so much more available. Steam is steady, GOG is steady, I feel I can leave it to them to keep and I'll have any particularly treasured games 10 years from now, anyway.

Obviously you need a bluray player per disk and then RAID them together. Simple. Also a lot of extension cords and USB hubs to coordinate all that.

Yeah but 2e is the newer one, and is default now. Assuming 1e is like assuming 4e for DND, it just doesn't make that much sense.

If the chart was gonna include 1e, it would need to say so explicitly.

Do you think they won't trash biden if we don't protest?

Do you think they wouldn't say he couldn't win against trump?

If the GOP saying biden was unpopular is gonna change someone's vote, they'll say it whether its true or not, so that's no excuse to vote against biden in the election that's nothing but symbolic.

Best argument is that that 32 trillion is in fact the total cost over a number of years, not the difference between current system and medicare for all. Medicare for all as suggested then saves money, around 5 trillion, from admin costs and being in a better negotiating position for drugs.

Convert to PDF before submitting a resume. PDFs aren't vulnerable to that kind of version difference messing things up.

Its definitely possible some other word processor would mess up the PDF conversion, but moving the formatting issues to before you submit anything lets you fully control the problem.

While I'd love a percentage based fee, this is a damages suit, so it should be actual damages these people are owed, as determined by the court. A percentage just doesn't make sense here unless punitive damages were also on the table.

In principle I agree, though, breaking the law should not be an affordable "cost of doing business".

It could be good because if they actually gave their customers a refund or access elsewhere then they've at least made up for the closing.

Naturally, if you received something actually of equal value, it's generally alright, in the same way that I'll accept a FedEx van running into my mailbox if they paid me enough to replace it.

The emphasis is on "could" because they tested the claim that they're doing the equal value thing and found they don't seem to be. So the claim of giving something worth the digital goods you're losing just isn't holding up, so they're shit.

She, through her lawyer, already announced they intend to, but as of earlier this week her lawyer said there wasn't quite enough as of yet.

Trump obviously won't leave it alone, though, so knowing her lawyer is looking for it means the next lawsuit is pending.
