They might make good rideshare drivers. This has a lot of business potential for a startup. A sort of crow-share service, we would have to find some payment current that is small and shiny, but worthless. Not unlike how NFTs attract humans.

I'm in the US, also likely illegal to do this. But it would have to be tested in courts.

But lots of stuff is totally legal here: free speech, religion, cannabis, guns, police brutality, etc.

America (US, Canada, and Mexico) is different than Germany in two important ways: Free refills and free toilets.

True. It's like a zombie movie tactic. Lure them into a barn and close the doors.

Adults over 60 next?

Nope. Can't happen. The whole theory is fucking batshit. There is an equal chance of lizard people from Neptune taking over humanity. The provenance of both stories is equally credible.

See if I just said lizard people from Neptune you'd just say that's ridiculous! When I add the take over humanity part, you say of course those fucking lizards would, they want our freedoms or oceans or people meat or some other shit we pretend to care about.

That's why you believe in AI singularity bullshit. You don't have the foggiest beginning of a clue how information theory can even support the concept, but you're afraid. The fear makes it real. Like being afraid of the dark makes whatever isn't out there feel real. It's a weakness, don't know what else to tell you.

FastCGI in general is an improvement over what I used to use, well I had mod_fcgid and some python stuff installed for a bit many years ago. And of course PHP-FPM is pretty battle tested, or so it seems. But I really do believe juggling multiple versions of PHP to be an anti-feature. Having to deal with more than one set of security forks multiplies the amount of work for the admin. You certainly don't have to use the feature, but I can't think of too many situations where going that road is going to help me in the long term.

I'm glad you have to pay more for groceries, you were eating too much.

The world is definitely going to S.H.I.T.

Back when I was in Boot Camp (USN) we were given gas masks one afternoon and herded into a sealed chamber to see for ourselves that they work. Once we'd had time to try them out, we were ordered to remove them, and find out for ourselves what a low-concentration of teal gas was like, followed by having us exit the chamber at double-time to help clear it out of our eyes. Some things you can try out for yourself, others are too hard hitting for that.

Rust Rocket whistles innocently.

I like hack languages. But many years ago, my friend setup PHP on my server (LAMP style) and it got hacked and defaced, so I updated it and tried to set it up correctly while also making sure the applications people wanted would work. (just a little hobby server). Got hacked again two years later, even though I was mostly just following the distro's updates. I kind of felt it was a bit of chore to keep PHP secure, more work than I could commit to.

I ran AOLserver for a while (Tcl-based apps server) and it was really nice, but not much out-of-the-box I could put on there. These days with reverse proxies and nginx, there really is no reason to use mod_php style setups. And you can pretty easily isolate anything in a jail or container to keep the blast radius down (unusually). And I've had a lot more luck in terms of hardening things when the services are written in Go or Rust, plus they tend to run faster or use less resources than Python, Ruby, or PHP. NodeJS and Deno weirdly fast and light weight for what it is, at least for the relatively straight forward web apps that you once would do with LAMP. But the package distribution for Node is horrific to anyone security minded.

I feel like you have veered quite off topic, perhaps some liberals are living rent free in your head, or a stream of conscious post is carthartic for you. As for the content itself, virtue signaling to your fellow Braunhemden is an age old sport. They demonized communists too, generally blaming communists on all the ills of society, despite their lack of representation. And exaggerating the actual damage done in civil unrest and casting a broad net for the blame, without proof of course. It must be a simple world that you can easily cast people into groups and pass judgement on them, while simultaneously arguing for individual accountability.

Why would someone want to throw even more money away on a gaming PC? The economy is tightening up around everything, people are buying just enough gaming hardware, and just enough PC, and just enough anything else. "Why not buy more PC" is a losing proposition when people aren't really buying PCs anymore in the first place when they have just enough already - a phone. And you don't have to like it or agree with it, but it's what people are doing.

Idk it's like if the price of dirtbikes got uncomfortably high and you're trying to recommend building your own because they're faster. Like the mass produced hobby toy is unaffordable, and you know you don't have a private stash of parts that makes DIY cheaper, so your message is "its faster"... dude hobby spending will just drop. DIY takes off when money is good, demand is high, and that boosts PC sales. People don't cobble together expensive toys when money is tight. Look how many people in this thread are talking about retro potato gaming ffs, that's about where we're at.

Maybe ready some of the essays by the Heritage Foundation and others over the last few decades before commenting. You don't have to go through the whole thing, but most of them are only a few pages long.

One aspect is that UET asserts that the President can dismiss subordinate officials, even when the statutes creating their offices permit removal only "for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office." Which I think is what you are specifically referring to.

More broadly, UET argues that the head of the Executive branch has the authority and discretion in agency rulemaking in addition to the above administrative discretion. There is also more room given by UET proponents in Executive authority in how laws are implemented, but that authority is not unique to UET or really all that unusual in other forms of government.

Historically speaking, the UET position is a corruption of an earlier and incomplete attempt to define the boundaries of the Executive. Because neither the Constitutional Convention nor the First Congress offered a view of executive power as coherent or expansive as today's UET proponents have been proclaiming. As it seems highly unlikely in light of the Federalist Papers, early essays, and debates and discussions of the Framers that the intent of Article II (Executive Vesting Clause and Take Care Clause) was to establish a position above all other branches and above the Constitution itself. (which of course would be a circular argument)

Basic Midwestern politiness in these poorly done dating sim esque DLCs was interpreted as a sexual overture.
