She’s one of a few the Republicans have had strategically vote against the party when her vote wasn’t needed to pass a bill. Basically her, Murkowski, and for a while McCain, until he really bucked the party with the ACA vote and became a pariah until his death.
He actually has raped girls and women both.
And I’m absolutely not defending him. I’m saying that it doesn’t make sense to go after the publication for not calling her a teenager by providing a sentence quote that clearly and directly says that she was a young teen when he forced her to give him oral sex.
Focus your anger on the rapists, not a sentence you can’t be assed to parse out.
As opposed to “forced a a teenager to have oral sex with him when washed was 30 years younger?”
It literally specifies that she was a teenager when the crime occurred in the same sentence you’re criticizing.
Engaged people typically do have a ring.
She’s a woman now, and was when the interviews occurred over 30 years after the sexual assaults.
The woman was sexually assaulted when she was in her early teens.
4mph is close to the maximum speed in downtown Austin traffic.
It’s Austin. The traffic is so shitty you can’t go fast enough to get in a wreck most of the time.
I get it.
Our dachshund was born on my 40th birthday.
That’s because they’re guaranteed to sell all the water when there’s a storm anyway. There’s a reason there’s laws against raising prices in an emergency.
He’s not saying use a grinder. He’s describing polishing as micro-grinding.
I didn’t play the second of the remake games because it was a PS5 exclusive. I usually buy into one platform (it was Xbox this gen) and hop on late in a console cycle for the other side to get cheap consoles and games, but for the first time consoles are getting more expensive over time, so I still don’t have a PS5. It’s on PC now, but building a PC costs as much as a modest house right now.
Fun fact - the major cause of his felonies was that there is a conservation easement over the Trump-owned land surrounding Mar-a-Lago, which he didn’t disclose when borrowing against its value for better rates.
The land is a liability, not an asset because it can’t be developed but he’s responsible for protecting it.
Different Arkane teams in different countries made Prey and Dishonored.
Prey was Arkane Austin, which was forced to make Redfall as a Live Service game to pump up the value of the companybefore being sold to Microsoft, leading over 70% of the Prey team to leave during the development.
Redfall flopped because Arkane Austin wasn’t a Live Service developer and they had zero interest in the game, and Microsoft closed the studio.
I have a very stubborn brain that will usually do the opposite of what I want.
My method is to try and turn on a movie or something I really have to pay attention to. I’ll start struggling to stay awake to keep track, and that will knock me out.
DMCA is interpreted very widely.
It criminalizes circumventing anything that could be used to protect copywritten information. So they just add copywritten stuff where it isn’t needed to criminalize anything they don’t want you to do. It’s why washing machines now have proprietary software and circuit boards instead of mechanical switches and why printer ink cartridges have chips on board.
The response to this mess is gonna be everyone sticking with Discord, not because there’s no alternatives, but because there’s too many alternatives.
That’s not true. Packet loss is a thing. It’s the same reason some USB cables suck and others are awesome.
Evidence of citizenship and identification are 2 different things. You can have a driver’s license or state ID without being a citizen. Proof of citizenship is more difficult - especially for married women whose names won’t match their birth certificate.
The most common reason to prove citizenship right now is when starting a new job, where they’ll ask for either a passport or a social security card and state-issued photo ID.
It matters in digital signals more than I expected.
A bad-quqlity HDMI cable over a long run will start getting a bunch of noise on some of my displays that shows up as random green specs popping off due to signal loss, whereas better cables will give a clean signal.
And back when more broadcasts were analog and I ran tech for a road show, I’d occasionally pick up random stations on poorly-shielded cables that would get amplified by powered speakers. The cables essentially became antennas. Though I haven’t run into that in over 20 years.
Poorly-shielded cables and speakers also used to have a lot of issues with cell phones. Anyone else remember the series of 3-beeps you could sometimes hear on speakers a few seconds before a phone in the room started ringing?
I used to be the liberal gun salesman in a store full of right-wing crazies. I ended up being one of the top salesmen because word of mouth got around that I was there and didn’t spend the whole time being a dick and talking about how evil liberals and gay people were.
