Doesn’t an incumbent party typically see an increase during wars at the polls?

This war seems so unpopular though, it’s hard to imagine that happening. But it wouldn’t surprise me if that had been the goal. The guy is such an unrestrained hot head that he was bound to inevitably blow his foot off with a bazooka.

I suppose many of the perpetrators who were there are still alive today. I wonder if they sleep soundly in bed at night.

Not all bad. Git is an incredible system for collaboration and humans have been honing it to improve quality and share work across teams for decades now.

Allowing bots to play a carefully defined role is probably going to end up being a net improvement but there are still kinks.

Masquerading as a human needs to be fixed though - I can see why it’s happening and that’s one of the first problems to solve.

Not so sure… when I read the Bible God’s killing people right and left, sometimes out of vengeance, anger, spite, and more. If anything the Satan guy seems heck of a lot more chill.

Interesting… My 4K Atmos price has been quite stable over the years.

When I entered the workforce in the late '90s, people were still saying this about putting PCs on every employee’s desk. This was at a really profitable company. The argument was they already had telephones, pen and paper. If someone needed to write something down, they had secretaries for that who had typewriters. They had dictating machines. And Xerox machines.

And the truth was, most of the higher level employees were surely still more profitable on the phone with a client than they were sitting there pecking away at a keyboard.

Then, just a handful of years later, not only would the company have been toast had it not pushed ahead, but was also deploying BlackBerry devices with email, deploying laptops with remote access capabilities to most staff, and handheld PDAs (Palm pilots) to many others.

Looking at the history of all of this, sometimes we don’t know what exactly will happen with newish tech, or exactly how it will be used. But it’s true that the companies that don’t keep up often fall hopelessly behind.

The psychology of this case, and other cases like it, is really baffling. The article didn’t go into much detail except mentioning the prior attempt, the millions of dollars of life insurance, and her cover story about him being addicted to opioids.

When investigators found those details the picture must have became clear.

What causes one person in a long-term relationship to off the other one? Why not just, you know, do what everyone else does and divorce? I’m sure being a divorcee sucks but it can’t be as bad as a convicted aggravated murderer who will live life behind bars

I understand where you’re coming from, but of course the Linux I want to use is not a business with a centralized marketing department vying for market share. It’s something that I can customize and make into whatever I want it to be.

I think that’s why many people want to use Linux - they’re not pigeonholed into decisions made to gain market share, they’re free to choose whatever works well for them.

Paradoxically, 20 plus years ago people chose PCs and Microsoft over Apple for much of the same reason. We could select our own hardware from any manufacturer, easily run our own executables and develop code in any direction desired.

It’s hard to see that being a good thing

I thought filing egregiously inaccurate documents with the court was risking contempt of court (in the best of cases).

Ignoring the court itself, I’d think for a prosecutor or cop this would lead to pretty bad performance reviews.

But if the system has no standards…
