We can't allow him to pardon state crimes.

He doesn't have that authority and we don't need to give him more.

If this goes to the federal supreme court, I honestly don't understand why the state would even recognize it. It's not under federal jurisdiction so that even they don't have a say in this unless the state decides to just accept it for some reason.

It's why I live so much commercial stuff and things like bacnet.

Everything basically is just basic I/O with either analog or digital signal wires. Well documented. But it typically requires lots of actual wires running back to a controller.

I hate how consumer stuff is all different connections in so many different ways and they don't care if they deprecate a feature or something. What works today can be fucked up because they have unilateral control to change how their shit works in "updates."

People are also going to have to weigh living, and getting deported and hopefully a short terrible period to possibly be happy again versus shooting at ice, possibly killing someone (which most people have a moral aversion to) and almost certainly being killed in return.

While a ton of people have guns, I'm thinking most of the people online who talked so big about using them were bots or astroturfing.

No individual is going to hold them accountable. We need organization for that.

She was in the musical Hello Dolly. A fantastic film, she's Dolly!

TUI is better than GUI

Tooltips that open immediately when a mouse hovers over it.

Tooltips should require being clicked. Eve Online annoys the shit out of me whenever I do a fresh install because tooltips load too fast they get in the way of actually doing things. Want to right click? Nahhhh your mouse is in the tooltip now.

Having ambiguous toggle labels should cause you to lose your job

Don't have a window named something like "Disable Features" and then the options be a toggle for "Cookies" or "Carry weight"

Does turning the toggle ON turn the feature OFF? Or do I need to turn the toggle to OFF to turn the feature OFF? Even worse when some are already in the off position.

Gas is much, much cheaper. Like, insanely cheaper. Many homes were built long before it was normal to have 200 amp service.

It's only in relatively recent years where heat pumps are becoming more common. And resistive heat uses a lot of electricity.

Gas has had decades and decades to be made safe. We have odorants so people can smell it, meters and sensors to monitor for abnormal usage and leaks, and it needs to be contained to cause an explosion.

Leaks outside suck, but aren't really that dangerous because they can dissipate and be blown away by wind.

I drive a MR2 Spyder. I specifically don't pull in all the way now so that I can see the ass end.

First time? Uhh. I think it was a car crash that rolled an SUV onto our driveway.

Since then, a couple wildfires, usually already reported, but I don't want the bystander effect to cause the fire to spread. Several other car crashes, one I parked in front of a motorcycle that went down and another where a drunk man took down a street light and got his car stuck. One I directed others to call for a heart attack and another I was doing CPR and had someone else call for a cardiac arrest.

Never been scared to call, usually just what had to be done. I learned some time that it was better for a dozen people to call than for no one to, assuming someone else would call. It's not like there is a downside to calling.
