Forswearing the states and joining the Confederacy was a provable action though.

You can't prove Trump engaged in insurrection without a conviction, and, again, "Well, just LOOK at him!" is not a valid legal argument.

Because Microsoft has no more business managing Epson applications than Epson does, I dunno, Kensington or Belkin.

It does though. Impeachment, on it's own, doesn't bar someone from office, the conviction in the Senate does. Not convicted? Not barred from office.

If you aren't convicted then you're simply accused and all accused have the presumption of innocence.

In Trump's case, yeah, I don't LIKE it either. But let's focus on convicting him first so there's absolutely zero question on barring him from office.

"shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."

Until he's convicted, there's no actual proof he did any of that.

American law isn't based on "well, we all know he did..." it's what can be proven in a court of law.

Same with the Cowboys for Trump guy, the conviction came first, THEN he got bounced out of office.

This is putting the cart before the horse, and I'm afraid it's going to get bounced out of court because of that.

It's going to keep happening until someone gets fed up and sticks some of them in the ground.

OTOH - First amendment. Unless they behave violently, nothing that can really be done.

Not sure how they could reduce it, right now it's 3 taps. Center icon at the bottom of the screen -> Accounts -> Account to switch to.

I guess maybe if they had the accounts listed at the top under a drop down or something? Would still be 2 taps, one on the menu, one for the account you want.

Because Microsoft manages Windows update, it's not like a package manager in Linux.

I don't want Microsoft telling me when I should update an Epson printer driver.

"via Windows Update" - key piece of info missing from the headline "for some reason".

Yeah, I don't see a need for Windows update to do any 3rd party stuff.

Not according to banks, which is all that counts.

Not just living in the lap of luxury, but surrounded by an entire population that see his entire family as almost some sort of Godhead.

It's what Trump envisions for himself here, but the MAGA idiots are only 30% instead of 98%.

Trump can't comprehend how owning a country is more valuable than owning some condo blocks and looked like an idiot in front of the ruler of North Korea.

There were parts of it that were well done. Having the two Barry's, one older, one younger, was absolutely believable. Later adding Dark Flash also worked. Michael Keaton Batman was fantastic. As you say, Supergirl was excellent.

But the only way to enjoy it is to look past the really awful VFX shots. I give them total props for putting in George Reeves, Adam West, Christopher Reeve, Helen Slater, and freakin' Nicholas Cage fighting a giant spider... but man... the shots were plastic. Some kid could have done a better job with action figures.

Even if you want to argue that the Time Bubble/Cross Universe stuff is supposed to look distorted, that still doesn't excuse the Babies in Danger^TM sequence.

I actually laughed out loud at the Babies in Danger^tm scene. I'm not sure it was supposed to be THAT funny, but the CGI was so awful you couldn't NOT laugh at it.

I think they blew the budget on making the two Ezra's look decent.

But then Blue Beetle comes in with 1/2 the budget and blows the roof off the joint.

Oregonian here. 110 has been an absolute disaster. The intent was good, legalize the drugs and incentivize treatment. You get busted with drugs it's a $100 fine, and that fine is waived if you seek treatment...

You don't even have to GET treatment, you just have to call a toll free number and ask about treatment options.

The first year, just over 16,000 people were ticketed. Less than 1% opted to ask about treatment.

Meanwhile every no-account addict is rolling to Oregon, Honduran gangs are operating in our streets with impunity 2-3 blocks from the police HQ, theft is up, property crime is up, and the only "harm reduction" portions of 110 that ARE actually being used are free needle exchanges and Narcan distribution.

Fire Station #1 stated they did 76 overdose calls on Labor Day weekend:

“In some cases we treat the same patient in the same week. And we know through our partners of AMR (ambulance service), that the same patient has overdosed multiple times in a day,” says Friedericks. “I know that even when we try to help, our help is unwanted, wares on all of us.”

Google should have bought it out, finished it, and made it Stadia exclusive... Ah well...

Only watched one and it was the Flash, so, um... yeah...

It's too bad Justin Roilland got canned, because this is prime for another Rick and Morty court transcript video:

Produced with less waste, but in 50 years they ARE waste.
