Cox is really living up to their namesake of being a bunch of dicks.

You are also getting Max subscription plan with this, This will completely boost up your internet speed and you will be amazed by the higher speed and smooth service.

Oh, so smooth. Doubling that arbitrary throughout limit will obviously improve latency and jitter. I always have my network fully saturated all day, every day /s

Everything will be super fast and when you stream or browse there will be no buffering or interruptions and you will have a great experience

Yes, because buffering is caused by your inability to download 62 more megabytes of video a second. It's totally not because the server isn't sending video fast enough or anything. Fucking slimeball.

I knew exactly what your story was going to be about by the end of the first sentence. It's so common that it's immediately predictable. Fuck BofA and their bullshit.

I'm sure the current government administration can, too. What's going to stop them from abusing civil forfeiture to do it... a sternly worded letter, maybe?

No, no. Wouldn't want anyone to be informed by media not controlled by the billionaire class. They're perfectly fine with Fox, Twitter, and other misinformation sources that they benefit from.

When it comes to compliance and regulations, anything with the literal blast radius of a nuclear reactor should not be trusted to LLM unless double or triple checked by another party familiar with said regulations. Regulations were written in blood, and an LLM hallucinating a safety procedure or operating protocol is a disaster waiting to happen.

I have less qualms about using it for menial paperwork, but if the LLM adds an extra round-trip to a form, it's not just wasting the submitter's time, but other people's as well.

JavaScript was a mistake, but this is one of the few things they did correctly. Implicitly importing everything from a package into the current scope makes it difficult to follow where variables or functions come from, and it's prone to cause problems when two packages export the same identifier.

If you're an absolute masochist, there's always a workaround. Against all best practices, you can use the deprecated with statement. Or, you can Object.assign() the packages into the global object like a monster. Or if you're using node, you can use the node:vm module to create a new V8 context with its own global object of your choosing.

Does it also involve tattooing a registration number on your arm? It's certainly going in that direction.

“DHS is leading efforts to conduct welfare checks on these children to ensure that they are safe and not being exploited, abused, and sex trafficked,” the homeland security department said in a statement to Fox 11 Los Angeles.

Fixed that for them.

He shouldn't have back tracked. The Democrats here refused to acknowledge it, and a bunch of people refused to vote for them as a result.

You're not thinking enough like a capitalist.

The product is transformed enough to originate in some other country, but it costs about 15% of its unit price to go through that whole process. The tariffs would make it cost 145% more, so you raise the prices by 40% to get a nice increase to your profit margins using "increased manufacturing costs" as the justification. Consumers pay the price because all the other options are either still made in China or doing the exact same thing and increasing their profits just like you are.

It's a win/win situation for you and your investors! /s but it will happen anyways

    
"If you feel like your government is not representing your needs as a citizen, your best course of action would be to vote for a different political party."

  

I should vote for Democrats?

    
I'm sorry, I misunderstood your question. If your government is not representing your needs as a citizen, you should contact your local representative. Here is the email address: representative@localhost

  

A bleak truth, but the first time that happens is going to be the last time that happens.

Once an ICE agent gets shot for trying to disappear someone out of their own home or car, they'll start disappearing people with guns drawn and a finger over the trigger. Innocent people are going to get killed, and the agents won't be held accountable because it was "self-defence".

"I get it, people are upset. It's a big deal, a great deal, it might even be the biggest deal in the history of deals. The Democrats are mad about it, very mad. 'He can't do that,' they say. They're poor losers. They tried to make good deals like this. Tried many times. They failed, and they're mad because I didn't. I make the biggest, best deals. But their deals, those are no big deal. I get it, they're mad. Mad that I did what they couldn't. The Democrats lie, they say 'President Trump, you can't do that.' But I could do it. I did do it, and I proved them wrong. Just like when I beat Biden in 2024. They said I couldn't do it. I did it. Just like when I beat Hillary in 2020. I couldn't do it, I did it. Just like with Obama, I did it. They keep saying I can't do this or I can't do that. They say it's impossible to do these things. They say many things, most of them wrong. They don't want to look bad, weak. The Democrats, Antifa, they're weak, so they lie. They think everyone is weak, just like them. That's fine, that's fine. You see, they're copying me now. They see a strong leader, very successful businessman, and they want to be one too. They copy me. They say what I say, do what I do, and they try to stop me. They want to be me, but they don't want me to be me, so they lie and cheat. They rigged the economy, set it to collapse with forced 'vaccines' and wasteful D-E-I. I come here with my tremendous plan, going to make America great again. Bring all the business and jobs back. The Democrats cheat again, they go on CNN. They go on CNN, sell their stocks, rig the market. They didn't think. Stocks are going to go up, way up. Numbers like you've never seen before. And they sold. The tariffs, I paused them. They thought they could cheat, and I turned it around. They lost big. Really big. Real Americans, we're fine. Better than fine. The Democrats, they're not fine. They lost, they're mad. Only the Democrats are upset, it's fine. Nobody should be upset about that. They played their hand and lost, and they're mad. Don't listen to them, they'll get over it. They lie and they cheat, and they lose every time. We're winning, winning big. So big. We're going to win even bigger next week. 300% tariffs on Democrat businesses. No more foreign workers. More jobs for America."

If the passwords were properly salted, it wouldn't. But if they're not salted, helloooooo rainbow tables. Or the world's greatest crossword puzzle, like that one Adobe accidentally made. Maybe even both!

It'll only take until he sees himself being portrayed as weak for backing off on some fucking cable news opinion spot.

I would prefer that they hurry up with it. With the unbelievably short attention span and memory of his voterbase, 90 days is about 87 too late for them to be able to correlate their support of him with any financial consequences that personally affect them.

Oh, it won't even come to that. The agency behind this investigation is going to be made more efficient instead.

Didn't South Park do an episode about this?

If I were in your shoes and they asked about the travel phone, I would keep it short, simple, and truthful: "I'm following Canada's travel guidelines and using a separate phone."

I don't want to antagonize border agents or imply their (my) country is authoritarian, nor should I voluntarily overshare minor details (which is something liars often do). If they have an issue with me following guidelines like any other ordinary citizen, they more than likely already wanted to search me and are looking for an excuse to do it. At that point, there's nothing you can do other than know your rights.

Look for used parts or machines recycled as part of a corporate hardware refresh. They won't be top of the line, but it's better than paying double the price for something that's already expensive.

Yes officer, I got a brand new phone with nothing on it to take with me. I did this because I want to comply with the laws of the USA and am afraid that if my phone got hacked I may accidentally carry something illegal across the border. I left my phone with all my lifetime photos and other history behind and I look forward to being reunited with it when my trip is over and I return home.

Don't say this. They will use that as justification to search you and your vehicle for suspicious behavior.

I hate that it's come to the point where innocent visitors have to worry about being searched or detained, but the best thing to do is simply not travel. If you get the wrong border guard, you're screwed either way. If you have to cross the border for whatever reason, keep your head down and don't give them a reason to waste their time on you. Keep it short and simple by saying you're just following travel advisories.
