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
They have many private investors.
I find that less likely than an investor and board of directors revolt at SpaceX.
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:
Sadly, the little girl did get started, but was promptly detained at the border and her family cannot identify which detention facility she is in.
Nah, they are going to say, “this is perfect evidence why we need even less government”
I don’t see a clear association in saying a baby is worth $5,000 when existing tax law says a baby is worth $2,000 off your taxes. It’s an incentive, not a bill of sale.
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.
It’s a fantastic format from a docuseries on David Beckham.

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 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.
Taking a vacation road trip from Florida to the Grand Canyon with three kids with only bikes also comes at quite the cost. Bikes are great, but in many practical scenarios they are slow. Not all of us live in Manhattan, or a dense city, or even a well connected and safe to traverse suburb.
Bikes cost time.
