That's what buffering means yeah, you can exceed the capacity of a buffer in software or chemistry and then what happens and if it is a problem depends on the rest of the situation. Lots of employers, like mine, have free charging at work now, too, it washes out in the rest of the electricity a big campus consumes during the day.

Comment Horrible customer support (Score 2) 25

My father has been locked out of his email account since last month. Multiple calls to support and now a second ticket for support have gone nowhere. They're a bunch of script kiddies repeating the same things over and over and never listening to what is being said.

The issue is on AOL's end, but they refuse to acknowledge it, let alone do anything.

Based on this experience, no way I'd buy company stock. With that kind of bad service, people will be leaving.

Congress doesn't have these powers.

Yes, they do. Had you ever read the discussions in the Senate about the amendments, you would have known this very subject came up. Unfortunately, his orange lardness has hidden from public view those historical records, so what I'm about to say goes from my memory.

Essentially, if Congress has the power to enact laws affecting the country, it is up to the Executive and Judicial branches to curb that power. Madison, despite opposition to the General Welfare Clause, admitted late in the life that clause granted Congress a power to legislate on all national problems. His nature of limited government was undercut by that clause, for if the national Congress could enact laws affecting the country, it wasn't a limited government, was it?

Further, as mentioned in the debates, Congress could delegate its authority. It would be inconceivable for Congress to be involved with the minutae of the country, to discuss and debate whether this or that is allowed. Instead, as granted by the Constitution, Congress has delegated its powers to others. Namely, agencies such as the FTC.

It's really hard to find these powers in such a tiny document without decades of legal training.

No it's not. All one need do is read the debates in the Senate to understand the mindset of the Founding Fathers. If you want more, reading a few books about those Founding Fathers would suffice to fill your lack of knowledge.

The first season of BSG had to have all that in it. They were just attacked. They had no military to protect them. Their home planets were being nuked. Their government was non-existent. The survivors had to make a run for it without any preparations. They had to figure out how to survive without any backup.

Aside from Apollo's "hack" to fool the cyclons, the first season was strong in what it had to be.

For rural use you'd probably want to put in a charger at home and charge overnight. Just needs what is essentially a heavier duty dryer outlet. We just got an EV and haven't gotten around to the home charger yet because we're in a metro area with lots of charging, but even so we're paying "$2.70 a gallon" vs a tenth of that to charge at home once I get around to writing the diagram for the permit. For regular road trips along the freeway even Wal Mart is starting to put in superchargers but if you're deep backcountry might need ICE for a bit longer until those gas stations upgrade their electrical service.

I know nothing of the ICC's IT setup but if they were doing all their auth through Entra, their documentation in SharePoint, and internal workflows via PowerAutomate then it is not as simple as uninstalling Outlook and installing Thunderbird. Now that is has been 8 months they may have the scope of work planned out and started an RFP process for doing the work to shift over.

2 may, 16 "ukranian" firepoint drones in 3 waves on starobelsk (lugansk) students dormitory kills 21 and injures 41. this is ukranians killing (ex) ukranians, most of them kids. ofc barely reported in western media.

It was all over the media, just like when Russia deliberately bombed a school in Mariupol on March 16, 2022 which had a message it was being used as a shelter. At least 600 people were murdered by Russia.

24 may, russian explicit retalliation mainly on kiev, an exceptionally massive strike involving 100 missiles and hundreds of drones, most of them passing through and hitting infrastructure. civilian casualties: 4 (by worst-case ukranian accounts (unconfirmed))

On March 9, 2022, Russia deliberately struck Maternity Hospital Number 3 in Mairupol, murdering four people, wounding at least sixteen, and causing at least one still birth.

Shall we discuss the murder of civilians in Bucha by Russia? The mass rapes by Russia?

When Russia collapses due to Ukraine's victory, that will be a glorious day for celebration.

It is good at search! But in his example, no one would spend a week of linear time searching for things. You search for things in between getting other tasks done, over, say, a week. Is that worth $5k a month license to help the worker out? I guess it depends on how much their time is worth and if saving them that search time actually increases their productivity or just leaves them more time posting on Slashdot when they need to unwind before tackling the next complicated task.
