Greetings from e27!

I'm a male, I don't write notes on my clothing, and I found the whole comment hilarious

It's possible some folks have thin skin.

So we have many moral frameworks we can pull from

Deontology judges actions based on rules and principles

Consequentialism judges actions based on the consequences

What would you call it when the morality of the action depends on the income level of the victim?

I thought the state of the art here was to elongate seconds collectively over the course of a long range of time to compensate

I'm surprised to hear you are having trouble with wheels / pedals, we should be there already!

Naive question, why run inverters?

Wouldn't it be more efficient to run direct DC appliances?

We have a building on our farm without power and it'd be ideal to be able to charge batteries and run lights at night

It seems to me that we would have to upsize batteries in order to make up for the loss in converting to AC

The port expects yachts to safely operate their vessels, and it's up to the captains to execute. That could mean sailing in / out of port, or it could mean under engine power.

The trouble I'm having is if they were leaving under engine power alone, with such fast current, why was the ground tackle not ready to be deployed?

We ran a much (much) smaller vessel with an unreliable engine and often pre-prepared our anchor before getting into port

One of the cardinal rules of cruising, is you should never sail to a schedule

Have you heard of grammarly? Or gitlab?

Generally, if you don't want to pull a permit, you can change a windows height but not its width

This is because of how the wood around it is framed to provide support to the wall above

In jetbrains paradigm you should install IDEA and install python plugin, go plugin, etc. You only have to do it once

That should get you within 90%+ use cases

Users would upload their copies of the music and spotify would replay them. This was obvious to early users, even if they were only consumers, because of the pirate-shout-out-overlays that were in a lot of the poorer quality releases.

Another interesting note, in the early days of spotify, the app would saturate your upload bandwidth while using it. Given their close ties to utorrent, I always assumed that's how they were affording the bandwidth as well.

Pretty brilliant way to bootstrap I guess; they didn't have to pay for bandwidth or content until they already had contracts in place

> And you straight up can't change your mind about who you are working with midway through the process, you sign a contract.

You don't have to, those contracts are optional. They will threaten to not represent you, but if you are a well qualified buyer, this is something you can force without much risk.

The more well qualified buyers refuse, the more normalized working for clients without contracts will be

You can play at a LAN party so long as your network is connected to internet

So yes, technically not a LAN game, but in practical terms any modern LAN party also probably has internet. It's not the hurdle it used to be.

> There was a service not long ago in Russia that would allow you to upload a picture of any woman you saw on the street. They would identify the face (via VK) and provide you with their contact and job information

Seems like gender technically wouldnt be a blocker, was that a product choice, or a marketing choice?

They didn't kill custom maps in sc2, it's just in a section called arcade

Use map settings are the only thing keeping sc2 alive right now.

The game is now free to play which attracted a bunch of players who don't really know how to play melee

I think you're misunderstanding. Bork was rejected, with a vote. We are looking at candidates who's vote has lapsed and trying to understand why a vote was never called.

In 1954 John Marshall Harlan II lapsed in November of an Election year. That's probably the precedent you're looking for. The reason you probably didn't include him is because the reason he lapsed and was re-done in the next session of congress was because there was no time, and he was the first nominee to be questioned in front of the senate. So despite the session lapsing, he was again nominated, accepted as a nominee and eventually voted on.

The example before that is Pierce Butler, who again was nominated in November (21st, not an election year), and they couldn't make it before the legislative session ended. Similar to John Marshal Harlan, he was again nominated in December, and voted on in the same month.

The reality is we have to go past William B Hornblower in 1893, and past Stanley Matthews in 1881, all the way to 1866 with Henry Stanbery to find our last instance of a nominee who was lapsed, but not voted on. To skirt their responsibility to vote they passed the Judicial Circuits Act to reduce the number of justices to 7, denying Jackson his right of an appointment.

Looking back to modern day, none of these fit the Garland example.

- Garland was nominated in March, not at all at risk of missing the legislative session

- No Senate has ever decided to skirt it's responsibility by refusing to acknowledge the nominee.

- Garland was a moderate, and likely would have been confirmed. He was previously confirmed to the court of appeals in 1997 by a vote of 76-23.

- There is no precedent for refusing to vote on a nominee in an election year. There have been 7 election year nominations since the civil war, and all 7 were confirmed (only one without a vote)

My original claim was that they are hypocrites, and they are. Amy's nomination was done in an election year, in September before the election.

> The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president. - McConnell (2016)

> I want you to use my words against me. If there's a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first time, you can say Lindsey Graham said "let's let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination" - Lindsey Graham (2016)

> "I will support President @realDonaldTrump in any effort to move forward regarding the recent vacancy created by the passing of Justice Ginsburg." - Lindsey Graham (2020)

> look at the Nixon years. Democrats blocking everything until they got nominees they truly approved of.

Untrue, Democrats voted on all 6 of Nixon's nominees, and only 2 were rejected. This is precisely what I mean, even when congress doesn't agree with the president their responsibility is to call the vote, and show the disagreements in the vote.

> Notice that whenever there was an A1-A2 party split, especially when a nomination was approaching an election, either the nomination failed, or it didn't succeed until the lame duck (if the president's party won re-election).

Feel free to share an example.

The fact that you cannot defend McConnell's position is telling.

Garland was nominated in March 2016

Amy was nominated September 2020

Go ahead and inform the class why we didn't have enough time for the appointment in March but did in September.

Home Depot sells many grades of PVC and pipe, it's up to the buyer to select the grade they need for their application.

This is something I would suggest buyers do at every store they shop at.

I assume that they were not talking about Jackson.

McConnell blocked the nomination of Merrick Garland for 293 days arguing that there was not enough time before the election.

Then, somehow, they turned around and passed through Amy Coney Barrett in 35 days, instead of following the same precedent of waiting for the election.

The hypocrisy is blatant and disgusting.

In today's world, the value of the lot increased significantly when the house was built.

The owner certainly could have sold that property with the house on it, and bought a much nicer empty lot.

That is not however what the existing owner wanted to build on the property, and as a result the building is damage to the property

And why should the landowner here bargain with the developer? The developer did not perform basic due diligence on easily a 200k+ investment

---

That being said, georgism plays right into this issue without the developers negligence. With LVT any land with improvements that is not determined to be it's highest and best use will be bulldozed and replaced, which is also a shame.

Even if we pretend for a moment that georgism is possible, works, and was magically implemented tomorrow

You still can't build on the wrong plot and sell it.

Someone is paying, that's what that pesky property tax bill is.

> An anonymous signature makes no sense, because signing something is putting your name on it

No, signing something puts a name on it.

And frankly not even a name, it just tells you whoever signed it had access to the same private key data

McAfee pays the bridge trolls :)

Routinely.

While those configs are different in syntax, each is meant to be read, edited and backed up by a human. All of the system config files are in /etc

Registry hacking, with all it's resets and duplicate keys is hard to backup, constantly reverts ( because m$ doesn't believe it to be user editable) and is a pain in the ass to back up and restore.

Oh yes, and is your registry value supposed to be a dword, or something else? No way to tell.
