I was asleep in bed one night many years ago and heard a loud bang, startling me awake. I thought for sure somebody was trying to break in a window or something. Went out, checked the house, nothing amiss. Went outside, checked around for any signs of something being off, not a thing. I then sat in my living room for 30 minutes trying to decide if it was a dream or if it would happen again. Still, nothing. I went back to sleep.

The next morning I made coffee and sat down at my MacBook Pro. It was an older model but I immediately noticed something was wrong. The entire laptop was elevated off the table slightly. The battery had apparently expanded in the middle of the night and with enough force ripped the bottom aluminum cover through three of the screw holes. Found the source of the noise, and immediately took it for disposal.

I was very lucky it didn’t catch fire, although it would have quickly solved my midnight mystery.

Their stance is Trump came out of his two impeachments politically stronger than he went into them, and unless 14 20 GOP Senators decide to switch their allegiance all of a sudden the act of impeachment is practically useless.

Edit: I fucked up the math, thanks commenter

Thanks, dad

That would be a pretty big security hole in iOS if that was allowed, but it isn’t. Notification and other UI elements are rendered on top of the underlying app, which does not have access to or cannot see the full screen’s canvas. We can see practical implementations of this “snapshot” test feature in code:

To counter the first theory, a contact cannot change the physical biology of the photon detecting cells (rods and cones) in the back of your eye. Nothing can, short of modifying your genetics.

So you can either become part mantis shrimp, or shift the wavelengths into the spectrum your biology already can absorb and interpret.

Like, you know, kids.

Nah, they are going to say, “this is perfect evidence why we need even less government”

That’s precisely when you bet on it.

Something that was said to me long ago by somebody I admired when I was a fuckwit teenager, “if you're not embarrassed of the person you were last year, you're not growing enough.” That has stuck with me for decades, I find it still applies and I’m scared of when I could realize it doesn’t.

You seem to be missing the point, the Nintendo Switch is handily the most popular game console in US gaming history. It has officially sold more units than the PS2.

I’m sorry that you don’t appreciate the switch, it’s an amazing general purpose gaming console.

They will almost certainly change the rules once the injunction finalizes. Call your representative and tell them what’s going on.

Christ with a bejeweled handbag, does somebody have a link to the juicy transcript?

You seem like the kind of person I would avoid at a barbecue.

You think being sold to private equity is going to make them remove the shelf locks?

Well, it took private equity over a decade to eventually kill Toys ”R” Us. Two years would be speed running their demise.

And what does this say about the newly confirmed Secretary of Education? The whole point of having such a position at the Cabinet level is to give Congress some control over executive departments.

Just in case this needs to be painfully spelled out: 100% don’t do that

No, by definition a Constitutional Amendment would be part of the Constitution. All branches of government derive their authority from the Constitution. Simply put, the Constitution is above SCOTUS.

The Supreme Court can intercede if the process for ratification is not followed, but as long as the agreed upon process is followed there is literally nothing a judge could do.

Yeah… their team won. The idea that Trump voters will be ousted first is more fantastical than an actual day dream.

Oh, so the people who need it the most, fantastic.
