Technically Minnesota doesn't have to allow anyone on its ballots, if they have legal justification to prevent them. And there is precedent for this. Alabama kept Harry Truman off their ballot in 1948, even though he was the incumbent president.

If Trump is convicted in Georgia he would run afoul of Minnesota fair campaign section of the state constitution (211B), or hell, I think he has already been fined for infractions that qualify as legal justification to remove him from the ballot in MN based on both campaign finance laws and the fair campaigns section of the MN state constitution.

As the GOP has been doing for the last decade, they have been eroding the federal ability to monitor and manage states' elections (reducing the voting rights act, etc) current precedent is that the state has the right to handle matters with regard to elections with near impunity.

He missed the whole point of "he who is without sin...", didn't he.

Also, a more recent article Here

Yeah... But caps lock is the cruise control for cool. How else am I going to switch between Slack and my editor easily?

Weird. It takes 6-7 hours to go from Minneapolis to the Canadian border.... So would you have been driving like Arrowhead to Morehead on back roads?

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would want to be president after age 70. It just seems like too much stress, too much work. When I am 70 I want either be working for myself so that I can determine my hours, or just full on retired enjoying some piece and quiet.

Also .. to be fair... my capability to walk on a stage has no bearing on my ability to be president. FDR used a wheel chair and had ramps installed in the White House. I find it terrible that we disparage our presidents based on their physical abilities.

I would put more stock in whether they can string together a cogent argument on a debate, or whether they can actually put together a sentence with correct punctuation, spelling, and grammar...

What about Chile fries? (I jest).

What's the criteria?

Speed and reliability? Snakeboi.

Ability to move around unimpeded and/or taking a dump while being on Lemmy? $350 router with spikes.

And if prison rules, I'm going router with spikes...

And if you REALLY need the Photoshop workflow... there is always gimpshop.

That's strange, that's the same combination I have on my luggage!

For context, this research paper was also pre-pandemic.

On average, CEO salaries jumped about 30% since this research was released. Here is an updated article by the EPI EPI Research

Also for context - on 1965, average CEO-to-worker salary ratio was 20:1, and in 1985 it was 59:1.

Not it's almost 400:1.

Narrator: "It wasn't".

Sure, let's just say Final Fantasy was the only popular JRPG around 1997 and we can forget about Pokemon, Earthbound/Mother, Super Mario RPG, Zelda, Dragon Quest...

I have always felt the actual ST:E theme is the ending credits.

Some producer got involved and decided they needed to "distance" Enterprise from the rest of the Star Trek franchise, and they also wanted to give it a bit more modern vibe so that it felt like it was between now and when TOS takes place.

So they took a Rod Stewart song from Patch Adams, changed some lyrics, and slapped it over what is arguably one of the best Trek opening credit sequences...

To be fair... Mac works 90% with Mac hardware. It's third party things that can screw you up... Like that pesky "USB" everyone is talking about. Who knew reading the official documentation and creating a USB driver for your own chipset would break all the USB devices not made by Mac? Who would have thought? At least there is an Intel emulation layer you can run in...

I mean, if your masters in the database engineering... Kinda goes with the territory...

Not just the ocean. There are lakes large enough of this effect to happen.
