I wouldn’t be so sure of that. trump is paying fast and loose with the standards of law and he has a history of going after his opponents. There are already grounds that can be exaggerated to strip Musk of US Citizenship. At that point a foreign national would be owning a company that has national defense impacts. The government could force a sale just like they are with TikTok.
Now he’s going the other direction to act like the good guy and fighting against Trump.
Who will believe he is the good guy? He pissed off liberals when he abandoned green initiatives and threw his lot in with climate changers. Then he pissed off conservatives when he had his war of words with the orange turd. Moderate Republicans that may oppose trump are put off by Musk’s antics and insistence of introducing internet humor into business dealings and products.
He has no supporters anymore and any group he’s trying to court wants nothing to do with him.

Eye Doctor <> Optometrist
Perfect example of why that is a bad approach. An Optometrist can measure your eyes for basic vision problems and monitor your retina issues, but you’d need an Ophthalmologist if you need surgery on those eyes for something the Optometrist finds.
Have you tried doing a full BIOS update? As in, download from the manufacturer. I wonder if that would overwrite the passwords.
I doubt it was anything that insidious. I’m thinking its more the carelessness of taking a household resource and removing it to a private space making it unavailable to the rest of the house. Someone that doesn’t think of others would do that, and it was likely simply the most recent example of him doing that.
“Look at the silver lining! You were always worried she was cheating on you, now you know for sure she is so you don’t have to worry about that anymore!”
Several people have told me I should sue the builder, and I probably should, but I’d have to pay for a lawyer, and it would probably take months and months.
IANAL, but I’m wondering if for your situation you’d have more success with a whole string of Small Claims court. A quick Google search for your area says this:
“You can ask for up to $25,000 in most small claims actions in the Tennessee General Sessions Court.”
I’m betting nearly every one of your findings and fixes you had to pay for would be under that. There’s no lawyer needed to file them, as you can do them yourself, and for the builder to have to defend it, they’ll have to send their expensive lawyer to each court proceeding. If they don’t show, you could get a default judgment and just win outright with no battle for the legal judgment. Now, collecting may be a different problem though. You could keep one claim going all the time so you don’t have to do them all at once (and make it worth it for them to put a billable lawyer on it".

If you string this out long enough, one of two things will happen:
“I’ve exhausted my monthly ration allowance for McEnergy, so I’ll have to pass today.”
Instead of McCafe, it should be “McSoylent”.
Listen, I get it that the Austin PD, as the example here, are doing their best. I get it that they aren’t their own ultimate masters. All those points are made. I’m also GLAD that the APD are doing what they can within their rules to warn residents that these actions are happening. Yes thats good.
However, thats approach of harm reduction, not harm avoidance. The good folks of the APD are being used as tools to carry out the harm though. They may not want to, but they are. Is anyone claiming different? The state doesn’t need to take over the APD to get the harm the state wants done. The question, and its a rhetorical one, is “where is the line?”. At what point is it better to say “no, I won’t do that” and be replaced by the state? I fear that day will come, but it needs to be examined now, before the state asks for something worse.
Its been quite a few years, but used Selenium to interact with GUIs for these kind of things. This included onboarding/offboarding tasks.
You misunderstood. I don’t mean that the state or the feds will send their own people. I mean that they will literally take the police control away from the city government.
If they already have the local police doing their dirty work, haven’t they already effectively done that?
If they do not comply, the state and federal government will step in.
So the defense is, to avoid having state and federal jackboots come in, the only solution is to put on jackboots yourself and become part of the problem?
But I see what you are saying. It’s different and they will have to adapt.
The organization adapting may mean they simply exit that line of business if the costs/risks of training for the required staff it too high.
On the job training. Yes, it takes time and money but it is the obvious solution.
A challenge facing many white collar jobs is that the entry level jobs are being automated away. There is no job for them to train on. The floor starts at Intermediate skill level and advances quickly to senior. The grunt work that needed to get done used to be handed to juniors. It wasn’t very difficult, and it was low risk if they made mistakes. It was perfect entry work that was both necessary in that it served a productive purpose, but also allowed someone to get in the door and start working in a particular field. Technology and automation are now doing that same grunt work, so the entry level jobs are drying up and not being replaced. Its going to be a massive problem in a decade or two if the Intermediate and Senior positions are still needed and those that are in those jobs now retire or die off. This assume that the Intermediate and Senior positions don’t also get automated away.
I’m not closely involved in trade jobs, but I wonder if a version of this is happening there too. One example I can think of is jobs like twisting rebar tie wire by hand for concrete work isn’t technically difficult, but it is time consuming and uncomfortable.
However, now there are now robots that can do this work so much faster, and they don’t eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, or get injured.
Is this happening in other entry level trade jobs? Will there be nowhere to train on the job?
I think there’s a reason assumptions make an ass out of you
Sure, you could say that about any new story you read on the internet. I have no desire and am in no position to act on my assumptions here on this news story, so I think making assumptions like these are fairly benign.
I also think there’s a good amount of evidence that the nephew here is the cause of his own downfall. The uncle isn’t the first man that the nephew has stabbed to death:
“In the documents, with sources confirming, Denver police previously arrested Vigil on Sept. 3, 2021, for the death of Timothy Gama, 54.”
According to a probable cause statement obtained by FOX31, Vigil told officers that someone in the house was making a sandwich and asked for hot sauce. When Vigil reportedly responded that the condiment was in an upstairs bedroom, a verbal dispute broke out and quickly escalated into a physical fight.
I can’t tell if I’m just getting old and jaded, but the 20 year old murder nephew was living with extended family (the Uncle), and while living there he decided that the household hot sauce bottle was acceptable to take (and keep?) in his personal bedroom. This smells like a certainly level of entitlement on the part of the nephew. The nephew then killing the uncle in the uncle’s own house says it even more.
Not in their top tier which is more expensive
Is it only their top tier (4k+more simultaneous streams) now? Last time I was subscribed it was only the lowest tier had ads. Middle tier was ad free.
Long before. Its a company that, after your death, will fly some of your ashes to space. For orbital services, the ashes are then returned to your estate, and in this case that can’t happen because the vessel wasn’t recovered. They also offer deep space launches where your ashes never come back.
The actor that played Scotty on the original Star Trek has his ashes flown to space, as an example.
