I wish all it took was a can of Mountain Dew to “fix” dementia. I would have had so much more quality time with all those older relatives.
Hey, kids, if your grandparents are still around and coherent, take the time to ask them about their lives when they were younger.
Just like when he told Obama to show his birth certificate.
Which he did, and the birthers promptly dismissed as a fake. So complying with their demands does nothing but makes the lie go farther.
Never mud wrestle with a pig, you both get dirty and the pig likes it.
I don’t find it that hard to believe, they’re responding anonymously
If they’re responding anonymously on the Internet, they could be anyone. We have no way of knowing whether they really are hiring managers, or whether the site doing this “poll” made it up for clicks. I’m skeptical of everything I read on the Internet, even if it comes to a conclusion I agree with.
I’d be very interested to know what the wording was in their survey of 600 “HR managers”. Because I find it hard to believe that companies would file job posts that they never intend to fill – and then admit it in a survey. I find it more likely the Internet is trolling them
On the other hand, I would expect companies to put up job posts that they have every intention to fill if the right candidate comes along, but structure the job requiremrnts so that precisely 10 people in the entire country are fully qualified for the well-compensated position. And then complain that they can’t fill the position while collecting everyone’s resumes and getting back to a few of them saying “That position is no longer open, would you consider this one at half the salary?”

They are taking “if it’s Boeing I’m not going” to a new level
There is an additional wrinkle if God exercises His ultimate veto on the winning candidate after the election. The winning candidate doesn’t actually win until the new Congress (on or around Jan 6) counts up the EC votes that were cast in December, and must get a majority of them. In the event that the winning candidate dies before the EC meets, all those electors have to be careful. If they split their votes, and no one candidate achieves the majority, the election for President goes to the House (where each state’s delegation gets a single vote), and VP goes to the Senate. So all the electors would have to coordinate quickly on a replacement . The logical choice is the VP candidate, of course but the coordination still has to happen.
The Electoral Count Reform Act did make some major changes that reduces chaos when the count is taking place:
It increases the threshold for challenging an Electoral slate to 20% of each House, to eliminate frivolous challenges
In the event a challenge is upheld and their votes are tossed, it also reduces the amount of EC votes needed to get a majority.
But still doesn’t change the fact that these challenges can occur, and if a EC slate comes in for a candidate who has died it still ultimately leaves it up to Congress to decide what to do. That would seem to be a challenge that could get to the 20% threshold.
I wouldn’t put it past Trump to start describing Biden as a “Master Debater”. It has the level of intellectual discourse we expect from Donald Trump.
Regulations on this will differ by state. The best move would be to find a local real estate lawyer. They wil instruct you on how to file all the proper paperwork with the local government, and also advise you on things you haven’t thought about, like how to structure your wills to make sure everyone is protected in the event something unfortunate happens to either of you.
Also don’t use this private transaction as an excuse to save money to skip any steps. Go get the title search and inspection done. You don’t want any surprises. If the inspection finds a fundamental problem, you might still go through with the purchase, but at least you’ll know up front what you’re in for.
The problem, though, is when so many companies are outsourcing their customer service to social media like Reddit. And communities, like OP’s school, which have nothing to do with the current situation on other subreddits. “Ban evasion” is nothing but a power trip if the ban was bullshit to begin with.
If all Reddit had was pictures of cats and porn, then getting banned would not be as big a deal. Now that it is public, being used for legit reasons, and has “money”, I am waiting for a bunch of people who are being banned for arbitrary reasons to file a class-action lawsuit. I might even join, even though I haven’t been back since the APIcalypse. I was banned from /r/funny years ago and to this day I don’t really know why. (In fairness, though, that might have improved my life…)
But a human can synthesize all those works and transform them into something new. All the AI is doing is regurgitating stuff it has heard before. I don’t want to try to put a bot on the same level as human creativity.
It depends on what car you are interested in. Some cars are in such high demand that they don’t stay on the lot that long, they’ll just wait a week and get another taker.
I agree, which is why I was astounded when the Finance Manager basically said he didn’t know. Isn’t that his job? I had it all on a spreadsheet and didn’t agree to the sale until my numbers matched theirs.
The last time I bought a car, I asked a few questions about how they calculated their financing and was told “Don’t worry, the numbers are correct, the software does the hard math for us”. I would have walked out right then if I didn’t understand more of it than they did – I was still getting the deal I wanted, and ultimately I was able to get the numbers to make sense with the help of the Internet. But if the software really did go down, that dealership would probably grind to a halt, because nobody could do the hard math manually, not even the “Finance Manager”.
As I understand it, it’s due to advances in the technology that supports biology and paleontology. When all scientists had to go on were fossils, the bone structure of dinosaurs more closely resembled giant lizards, so thats the conclusion they came to. But recent techniques, including genetic analysis on currently existing species, clearly shows the link between birds and dinosaurs. (And, in fact, alligators are more closely related to birds than they are to lizards.)
I found this article which seems to explain it well:

Last time, they avoided having the platform contradict Trump by not adopting a platform. I expect this time to be no different.
It’s a very good point you bring up. It’s worth pointing out that this case hinged on the fact that the guy whose gun got taken away had a restraining order against him, so that meant that a court had already determined that he posed a danger to someone. And there is historical basis for taking guns away from dangerous people.
One of the benefactors of this new approach, ironically enough, may be Hunter Biden. I saw an article saying that this ruling may help him appeal his conviction, because he is a first-time offender so no court had any reason to make a ruling on him at all.
That’s just nuts
