They gave his PAC money, not him directly. With the federal and state governments watching his every move, I'm sure one of them would love to add additional fraud to the list of charges.
It's not like he can just use it how he wants (anymore).
And as jail goes, the court proceedings haven't happened yet. He's out of jail, sure, but that doesn't mean he's free.
Standing could be as simple as "it harms the American people to allow him to run." The lawyer doesn't have to be directly injured, since class action lawsuits are brought on behalf of entire groups all the time.
Not that it's a slam dunk reason, but I would hope and think the lawyer in question knows that they have to prove some amount of standing.
Yep. Basically the 14th is the quickest path to disallowing his run. But he can get multiple life sentences for murdering a million people and still run.
You won't get interoperability without people creating these kinds of apps. There's no reason Company A would futureproof their platform to communicate with apps that don't exist, because that's unnecessary development; the interoperability comes after the platforms exist. Email is a prime example of this.
Also, somehow or another I guess it’s gotta come out.
Probably only recommended if you're financially independent and live elsewhere. If things go poorly, you need a way to be able to leave. And if you have those first two, it's probably best to do it slowly/gradually.
But for your first question, "That's horrible. Why would you wish that on other people?" is often a great go-to to make people introspect. They might not do it in that moment, but your kids calling your thoughts and desires horrible has a way of sticking with you. (Source: am a parent)
And if you don't live with your parents, you could even throw in, "What if I lived in California? Would you still wish for the hurricane?"
This is your answer. The change we want isn't going to happen at the federal level only. The DNC has had a really terrible leader up until recently, but even so, they don't have a good pulse on the left-electorate. They can't seem to figure out that the country isn't center anymore.
The reason we didn't have a "red tsunami" at the midterms, which going on historical trends should have happened, is because of the extremely hard work of grassroots orgs that mobilized the voters on the left (typically low-turnout voting bloc) in local, state, and federal races. And they did all that on a shoestring budget, with little to no help from the DNC.
The change is going to have to be from the local level up. That's how the GOP got to their "minority rule" status, and it's how we'll win back true democracy.

It all has to do with evaluating flight risk, with his lawyers asserting a reasonable belief to the judge that he's not one (prosecutors likewise can make their own recommendations). Bail can be denied, but from what I understand from legal podcasts, most cases have release conditions.
The fact that he skipped town means his lawyer might get in some trouble, but it almost certainly means this guy is royally fucked when they find him. It doesn't look good to juries when you run away.
As far as people with lower-end systems being unable to enjoy newer titles, I'd like to point you to the prolific and endlessly creative indie scene. Yes, you may not be able to play the latest AAA "Skyrim Ultra Remaster DX: Penultimate Boogaloo - GotY Edition," but there's lots of gems out there that don't require the latest GPUs.
But as for realistic graphics, there's actually an aspect you may buy be aware of: game companies actually influence the movie industry. Because games not only have to deliver realism but realism in real time, they have to constantly invent new techniques. The movie industry picks up these techniques and makes better movies.
Plus, IMO, improvements are always welcome. Death Stranding had some of the best mocap I've seen in both the movie and videogame industries, and don't feel those improvements were wasted effort.
That was my thought as well. Maybe she knew she was close to getting caught and hoped to be labeled criminally insane for some kind of imagined lighter sentence.
In the US, at least, being deemed insane by the courts lands you in unpleasant, secure psychiatric facilities whose patients are often forgotten and abused worse than inmates, but maybe it's better in the UK...?
Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), who has floated a presidential primary contest against President Biden, said Sunday people want to “turn the page” on the incumbent president when it comes to 2024.
We do want this in our politics, but when we have fascists calling from inside the house, it's a luxury we can't afford right now.
Once fascism is no longer a viable political path for extremists, then we can talk about improving candidate quality and having better options. From where we are currently, though, it feels like putting the cart before the horse.
I get your feeling, and I'm actually a little bit older than you (so have had to vote for the same boring centrists), but "fuck that" isn't how you strategically defeat a coalition of rich, Conservative ideologues who have been slowly and tactfully eroding our democracy.
"People like me" haven't had their candidate yet win a primary (I'm a progressive socialist), so I'm not sure who you're referring to.

No, I just watch content from evolutionary biologists, because it's something I'm interested in.
It may not be that our version of the species will be renamed, but since species delineations are somewhat arbitrary (where does one generation stop and one start, when it's actually a gradual process?), future generations of biologists may decide that we are something else. Either way, we won't be around to know!
I don't have any personal experience, but afaik, they're the only options for putting mATX and ATX into an SFF case. I watched a review that said the case was nice and worked like most breathable ITX cases, though the CPU cooler options are limited due to pretty low clearance.
Just wanted to post to get some discussion going. Currently using a Sama IM01 style case so not too SFF. CPU is a 10105f with a 5600xt GPU. RAM is just 2666 8x2. I mostly do some gaming and sometimes Blender.
