My Hebrew school had a class trip to Israel.

People complain when we increase the number of orphans; then they complain when we decrease the number of orphans! What do y’all want us to do???

Programmer here. AI tools are neat, but not taking our jobs. What is taking our jobs is the normal business cycle and non-0 interest rates.

I don’t see Iran taking that deal. The US unilaterally withdrew from the JCPOA, and all the other signatories went along with that decision. The US started a war with them twice in the past year during active negotiations. The regional hegemon that has been calling for the regime’s destruction for decades has been bombing whoever they feel like with impunity.

At this point, Iran would need to either feel completely cornered; or receive sufficient concessions that cannot be easily walked back.

You are thinking about the Red Sea/Suez Canal.

The Straight of Hormuz is the only way into and out off the Persian Gulf. Unless a ship has business in the Persian Gulf, it has no reason to cross the straight.

Irrelevant for us. The loss of a major shipping route is always going to be a blow to the regional economy.

I imagine lawyers are the biggest issue. Anti discrimination laws vary greatly by jurisdiction. This type of de jure discrimination against a privileged group to counter de facto discrimination against a marginalized one is the type of situation that is going to be thorny pretty much everywhere, with differing results everywhere.

It still amazes me that laptops are still the cutting edge tech for schools.

General purpose computers have always had major problems with students getting distracted and going off topic, and are a never ending source of tech issues; particular when locked down in a way that still fails to address the previous issues, but makes them fail more often.

Admin is concerned about paper costs? Get every student an Eink reader. Schools are a big enough market to justify specoalized Eink readers that support classroom management style features (e.g. pushing a reading to student in the room).

Don’t want to deal with hand written essays. I was using a digital typewriter as a middle school student 20 years ago.

It’s like requing laptops for every math class because we don’t want to force students to do all their calculations by hand. But that’s not the choice: we have calculators! Even when we let them use calculators, we have a choice of what calculator to give them. We have 4 function calculators, scientific calculators, graphing calculators, symbolic calculators. And we can pick what tool we give students based on the needs of the particular lesson.

It’s nice that heating milk kills bacteria and viruses; but doing it too much can damage taste and nutrition. That’s why I’ve been experimenting with ways to minimize the temperature and time needed to sanitize milk without otherwise damaging it. The deep state will never get me to drink pasturized milk!

Talk to your doctor. BMI is a crude metric that doesn’t distinguish between fat and muscle. For understanding population level statistics, this is good enough. But for individuals it can be highly misleading; particularly those that do strength training.

If you wanted to lower your BMI, there is a good chance that stopping all weight lifting would do that for you. But that would probably make you less healthy, despite “improving” your BMI.

But they won’t have the authority, protection, and power of the state to carry out violence.

He’s likely going to have mental health issues now, as a result of the shooting.

As for pre-existing mental health issues; to me the most likely condition seems to be “was 11”, which most people grow out of. As a thought experiment, how many 11 year olds are there that you would be comfortable having a gun unsupervised.

Discourse 5 years from now: Why are there so many Venezuelans trying to cross our southern border? No solution other than increasing immigration enforcement I guess.

Take your SFW selfies somewhere else.

Still don’t do that in a public bathroom. Someone else may walk in.

• /ram - tmpfs filesystem
• ~/.local/bin - added to my path
• ~/.local/software - any user-local program more complicated than a binary gets a directory here. Generally a binary would be symlinked to ~/.local/bin
• ~/.local/venv - shared python venv to use for one liners and small scripts
• ~/repo - local filesystem backed package repository for which the host system is configured to install from
• ~/.local/repo - local filesystem backed package repository for which the host system is not configured to install from (used for mock, VMs, and external systems).
• /overflow - Used to point to a large secondary hard drive (back when having a small ssd was the economical thing to do. Nowadays, it is just where my large directories go cause I can’t be bothered to get used to a more sane setup

Correct. In theory, there is a law that grants an extension to the statute of limitations in cases where an indictment is filled in time, and subsequently dismissed.

However, it is not clear if that is applicable here because one of the problems here was that prosecutor messed up the grand jury so badly, that there is a reasonable argument that Comey was never actually indighted.

This isn’t likely to come up, because the other result was a ruling that Trump cannot keep on appointing interim US Attorneys, so the prosecutor to bring charges would either need to be Senate approved, or court appointed.

I’m surprised it is getting caught by this feature. I thought routing those accounts through a US based connection was table stakes. But, I guess there is no point bothering until people actually are able to see.

This won’t fly with food. Companies are no longer allowed to use “may contain X” as a catchall. They now need to deliberately add X to their product.

Federal employees are explicitly guaranteed their back pay.

Part of the problem behind the scenes is that the Democrats do not really trust guarantees passed into law anyone, as Trump has been utilizing the recision process to simply not pay money that Congress has explicitly appropriated into law.
