It seems like Nvidia and Linus are getting along these days since datacenter Ai workloads need Linux. Amd is still king for Linux gaming though

Me too

I can see them try to place it “under the protection” but the states need to have a chain of custody for every vote, and whoever signed that custody chain is responsible for it. I dealt with this in the Army as an MP. And it would require the state to be complicit as well and I don’t think most states want to just hand over all their authority to the federal government and turn themselves into puppets. But we will see…

even if he starts a war, he can’t avoid the midterms. The president has no authority over elections, the states have that authority, overseen by congress. And if states don’t elect new congressmen and congresswomen and senators, then when the currently elected people have their terms end, then the states will not be able to just keep them in position, when their term ends they are out per the constitution, and won’t have a representative until a special election is performed.

Also… I distinctly remember something from my history classes about how Americans react to being taxed without representation… Or at least they did in Boston in the 1773.

Sounds like you had a pretty shitty relative. I’m still going to withhold blaming the woman while both sides have contradictory accounts so different someone is obviously lying. I don’t doubt there is a chance this woman is like you say, but we don’t have enough information to infer, so I prefer to wait before casting blame until we know the truth of the situation.

Which we likely will never get, but hey if it ever goes to court, maybe we’ll get to find out someday.

Read the article, the guy you replied to cut context, the care facility said she told them that, but she claims she tried to pay rent but couldn’t and that she never said that.

The guy you responded too was misleading, the full quote in his own article paints a completely different story.

Notice the part where she said she stopped paying rent because she thought she was going to die, and later when she was offered money, said she didn’t need it and would likely give away the donations and just wanted her bible…

And the full thing with context is this:

Karen Twinem, with National Church Residences, which owns the Franklin House where Fitzgerald has lived since April 2011, said Fitzgerald told the staff she held back rent for the past three months because she thought she was going to die soon. Fitzgerald denied that claim, telling News 6 that she tried to pay October rent but was denied.

So your provided context is misleading and it shows that most people trusted you and didn’t read the article for themselves.

I worked at Fort Lewis in the RCF (Regional Correctional Facility, aka prison) and we had an Army soldier who got 3 years for 1st degree murder because he mercy killed a combatant after they got covered in white phosphorous. Literally everyone was like “how the fuck do you only get 3 years for first degree murder?” and then when they read his court documents were like “what the fuck, you got screwed and obviously everyone knew it…” They legally determined that at the moment they were no longer fighting back they became non-combatants and to kill a non-combatant instead of rendering aid is murder. Since the judge and jury agreed that it did violate the law, but hoped that if they were ever in that combatant’s shoes, they would want someone to do to them what this soldier did, so yeah, guilty, but sentenced to the bare minimum allowed.

I know for 100% fact there is precedent already. But that is rules for thee, not for them, so I highly doubt we’ll see anything happen. I’m sure they’ll claim they need immunity because they were operating under special rules of engagement or some bullshit, and it will take years and lots of lawyers and in the end it’ll drag on until its forgotten about and gets quietly dismissed somewhere.
