He could run again as a placeholders VP, then have the placeholder resign after taking office. This would bypass the can only be “elected” twice rule.

Yes, there is an amendment that requires a VP to meet the same eligibility requirements as the president that should prevent this, but a corrupt court could rule that since that amendment does not explicitly mention term limits, those do not apply…

That or maybe politics Friday when those posts are allowed?

When, given a choice between doing something fun and something necessary that can be easily put off, you default to doing the necessary.

Yes and no. For close friends, family, and long time coworkers. I care that you had a good trip, that mom and baby are healthy, and would not mind a few photos. But that’s it. I don’t need a 500 page travel album or daily baby pics.

4′33″. I hate that melody and would rather just listen to silence.

I liked Gensin Impact for the first few years, but last time I played it, that game was the worst example of this.

Teleport to location. Chat with npc for 5 minutes. Teleport to next location. Chat with another npc rehashing the first conversation for 5 minutes. Quick fight with trivial enemies. Teleport back to first npc Chat about random crap, slow walk to another npc, rehash the earlier conversation again, walk back to starting location, receive the most basic of rewards.

The game is 90% dialog of which very little is relevant or meaningful and none can be skipped. There is an auto advance option for conversations, but so many meaningless dialog prompts (with options are always the same semanticly) that it doesn’t work.

Of course this is all by design as the real goal is to sell you characters, not play a game.

What if we just count all the nanoseconds since 1601 and divide by 100.

I still don’t get that timestamp approach. Especially after learning how unix/linux handle it…

At least modern AD tools can automatically do the date conversions now.

That’s when they turn the farm into a themed hotel that is only open during select holidays.

One thing I’m learning from these types of questions is that knowledge isn’t power, money is. There is precious little I could do with future knolewedge outside of personal/family matters without first using that knowledge to make as much money as possible.

Yep. Trying to maintain a consistent startmenu for computer labs with Windows 11 is annoying.

The layout is stored in an encrypted file that cannot be editted directly. You have to manually setup the start menu on one profile then copy the file to all the others. This works fine for intial deployments, but is a massive pain if you need to add any other apps later.

The old powershell commandlet for importing layouts does not work in Win11. The old group policy settings don’t work either. The actual DLL calls used by the end user to manually configuring the start menu are deliberatly coded to prevent being called from a script.

It is freaky how much work Microsoft has done to prevent scripting changes to the start menu.

The only officially supported method for an IT department to manage the start menu is intune, but microsoft’s device licensing for intune is a mess out folks have yet to figure out.

They encrypt the damn start menu and they cannot encrypt this?

5x usage limits (if they last) is the real news here. The current limits make it unusable for any meaningful projects.

I just dropped chatgpt plus because of those limits…

They need to focus back on the base product instead of adding more features. It has been over 1 year and chatgpt using gpt4 is still crippled to the point of being useless.

The last thing I want is a search engine that works 10 times then tells me to come back in 4 hours to resume searching…

Could it just be that whistleblowing is intensely stressful and difficult (reporters, lawyers, harassment from former coworkers and company fanboys, difficulty finding new employment, etc.) I imagine all of that makes whistleblowers far more susceptible to disease and mental issues.

We need stronger whistleblower protection laws. Not just in case companies put out a hit, but also to help the whistleblowers endure and recover from doing the right thing…

Maybe like a subscription where people could pay a fee to avoid ads?

Cups, teaspoons, and tablespoons in this context are standardized units of measure. It is very common to find at least one set of measuring cups and spoons in a US kitchen. Scales are uncommon.

I use both. For flour, scales are far, far superior. For sugar, it does not really seem to matter. For small amounts, I suspect my tea/tablespoons might be more accurate than my scale…

Not that accuracy matters that much in a recipe using eggs. Chickens aren’t necessarily known for precision…
