TIL! Thanks!

Elected to the office of the President

If you are looking for a loophole, I think there is an argument to be made that if he is elected to the office of the vice president and the president steps down, that would allow a “3rd term”.

I would love to be wrong, but I wouldn’t be shocked if that is the play.

Edit: dhork points out the 12th amendment should block this.

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

The Constitution leaves the matter of election of electors to the states.

That’s not entirely true. Texas seems to have a problem with people leaving for various services and it’s a federal crime to transport certain flora between states, even if it is fine in both states.

You are so close to VOR!

I miss Ricochet.

He is above the law. How many other convicted felons receive no penalty?

Security Theater.

that putting the thermostat up higher will heat the house up quicker

If you have a 2 stage furnace, this may actually be a thing.

To build on your comment: cost of living has a surprisingly fixed price. Different qualities of living don’t cost massively different. If the average person has to spend their whole earnings on living an “average life”, if you make 2x and want to live twice as nice of a life, it likely only cost 1.5x the “average life”. Earning 2-3x opens up a lot of luxury even though it may not seem like it.

There are a couple avenues of attack:

1. The camera- It the camera can’t see the board, it can’t provide moves. An IR blaster may be a valid tool to blind the camera, but not the player. This could be a battery and LED with a switch that is placed next to the board.
2. The internet connection - If the AI can’t talk to where the processing is happening, it can’t get answers. Anything from a jammer to a metal cage would work here, but watch your legality.
3. The device itself - anything to stop the device from working. This could be a EMP, but that’s rather non-selective.
4. The board - limiting information from the board in a way humans can understand but AI currently can’t. This could be as simple as only showing half of a board at any time.

The IR blaster is likely your best bet, else it might be time for a ruling of “no electronic glasses at the board”.

Ok, take a nap, THEN FIRE ZE MISSLES!

If you have HVAC, make sure the filter is replaced regularly and try running a higher MERV filter.

The 6000 unit tests they run on every build is the most effective bug squasher!

Laughs in Factorio

Factorio Space Age, but it wasn’t on sale.

Probably not. The Hush Money case is a state case, not a federal case. Presidential pardons (up till this point) are only valid for federal crimes.

Do you know how expensive a criminal conviction is?

Are there any windows that ever allow sunlight to shine on, or near, where the decanter is located?

What temperature is your house normally? Also what are the high and low temps experienced?
