I bet a large portion of those workers voted for him as well.

No, Starlink isn't creating small orbital debris like would cause that. They're also at the wrong altitude.

More likely it's from something like the satellite Russia blew up a few years ago. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/russia-just-blew-up-a-satellite-heres-why-that-spells-trouble-for-spaceflight

Probably not. The amounts were talking, and the time frames are pretty big.

A quick search shows statewide retail sales in Q4 2023 was $60.9B. So extrapolating that out, that's $243.6B for the state in a year. If we assume Charlotte is about 1/5 of the State's retail footprint, which seems reasonable for the largest city, with over double the population of the 2nd largest... we get $48.7B. Then 1% of those sales comes to $487M. Multiply that by 40 years and you get... $19.4 Billion. And that's just using numbers I found with a quick Google search and basic math.

It will definitely burst, and might take out some fairly large companies with it. Potentially even one or two tech companies that have been around for decades depending on how large it gets before that burst. One or two companies will end up with the IP all of them are "building" and it will fizzle into the background of daily use just like the previous assistants like Alexa, Cortana, etc. have.

Oh I'm not implying that's a good thing at all... Thats what the MAGAts seem to believe, they just never get to that last word there, never get to the realization point.

This doesn't surprise me at all.

At Circle K, the video system in the back uses "police" to access the footage so they can review and make a copy. Not sure if that's the only access level, wouldn't be surprised given how old many of those systems still are.

He's getting rid of the Mexicans taking their job...

The jobs that none of them want to do in the first place...

For wages none of them would accept...

Wait...

That was marketing. The alternative would have been a generic mass simulator, basically just a large block of metal.

The car gets headlines and people remember it. You obviously did.

Every building receives 240V and splits it into a pair of 120V phases. Three phase power is basically only installed at large industrial sites or very specialized shops.

The trial already started... That's the point of the article. The first paragraph mentions the jury...

A jury trial for a single misdemeanor?

That's your right. The defendant can choose whether to have a jury or bench trial.

Clearly in this case you want the jury. You want them to look at the ridiculousness of the case and throw it the fuck out regardless of the legality.

They tried for felony charges. Multiple times. The grand juries (plural) refused to indict.

Our dishwasher has a bright ass white LED when it's done and clean. As long as you don't open the door it's lit up like the Lighthouse of Alexandria. If you're opening the door, you need to just empty it. Even with that we have a magnet that says "Hella Clean" on one side and "Dirty AF" on the other, makes people actually want to swap it around since it's not just a basic boring ass dirty/clean sign.

If I remember correctly it also is specifically worded to only offset those changes in states like Texas that are intended to shift the balance. It's not designed to shift the national balance, but rather to maintain the current status quo.

To be fair, SpaceX isn't selling amusement park ride tickets on suborbital flights to the highest bidders like those competitors are. They aren't really comparable.

You forgot the already failed War on Drugs being targeted towards US inner cities with the enthusiastic help of the Democrats. Deregulation of several base industries to maximize profits. The curtailing of union power supported by both major parties.

I didn't even realize that, last I had heard was them putting it before the third jury, and then that there was going to be a trial.

I'm sure we all know the phrase that a prosecutor could get a grand jury to "indict a ham sandwich". It took prosecutors THREE Grand Juries to finally get an indictment for someone throwing that sandwich.

It's all a complete waste of time and taxpayer funds, and in any other point in history these prosecutors would have been fired immediately for incompetence at even considering an indictment in the first place, not even considering the possibility that they would try for three attempts.

At this point we should require all government and contractor systems to require MFA via hardware tokens. It's not expensive, harder to hack, and easy to train users.

Black Flag was a mediocre Assassin's Creed game, at best. It was a phenomenal pirate game
