Even negative attention is better than no attention for some. Good chance she had a pretty bad home life, poor girl.

My mom knows I’m always buying tools for work (electrician) and computer-related parts/devices. She still has trouble wrapping around the idea that I don’t want (as much as I sincerely do appreciate the gesture) anything in those arenas due to specificity of requirement, that and most things of that nature tend to be expensive. She still buys little random things from Home Depot, like last year she bought this wrist cuff thing with magnets on it. Great idea on paper, but not in the field. At this point she’s getting older so I kinda just humor her.

DaaaAaaD!!

As a layman, I think boundaries are the ticket, with the establishment of a Palestinian state and strict border enforcement (territorial lines, not restricting movement).

Truth. But, the big problem is setting whacko precedents. Maybe a better contemporary example would be the fed going after Apple because Luigi had an iPhone. All of a sudden, software providers start monitoring their programs’ users for signs they might be subject to a lawsuit.

It might be just me, but all of the best dates and relationships I’ve had over the years (including my now wife) all started with a spark of attraction upon meeting that we jumped into exploring together and developed a friendship over the course of dating. My wife became one of my best friends long before we got married but that definitely developed over time, while the attraction and romance definitely came on strong right at the get go.

I had a couple times transitioned into dating friends but each time it just didn’t fit right (even if the relationship lasted a while) and ended up rather distant from them. Also too, I never had any luck dating online, they all came the old fashioned way.

I remember being on the receiving end of that, and this can actually be a good limit is test on compatibility regarding communication and boundaries. First step is to communicate that you feel it moving too fast. If the person is receptive and able to recalibrate without too much drama (it’s understandable to get a little taken aback), that’s a great sign. If their emotions go a little haywire, it might show signs of potential issues that may need to get worked out or that y’all aren’t on the same page emotionally.

Iirc there was a push on manufacturers from the NHTSA to return to physical controls for things like HVAC and media due to safety concerns, but I don’t know how official that was.

As does my ram

No way, that would make software providers liable for users missing their software. It’d be like MS being on the hook for terrorism if the Taliban used Windows on a laptop to manage their stuff.

And at this point, we can safely assume these business leaders will use it for their own personal enrichment at the expense of the rest of humanity, and for that reason alone I’m happy to avoid it wherever possible. Don’t feed the beast as it were.

Almost like a contract of sorts, one that is socially acceptable…

This is what we get when politicians write technical laws without asking experts how it actually would work in practice and possible ramifications.

Lawmakers:

“A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don’t do one.”

Chins is locally wide, so it’s a LWAN

She was nothing new though. She was a rehash of the same old tired D corporate-friendly bullshit, and that’s why she lost. If she’d had thrown her weight behind Palestine, the AIPAC would’ve taken their money elsewhere, nevermind her husband is as Jewish as they come, so that would’ve been a nonstarter anyway.

Ah gotcha, thanks

GST?

Not just to, they’re going down by a river
