You're correct of course. Although it's pretty clear the original intent of the amendment was to allow states to have self-defence militias, which were common in the 1800s. The Supreme Court has obviously expanded the original meaning to what it is today over the last 150 years.
It's so clear that the supreme court disagrees with you. As you mention in your third sentence.
Kids who don't see their parents reading books won't read books themselves. Parents who don't share what's to love about reading raise kids who don't read. Of course, we'll blame the schools so we don't have to look inwards. But the problem ultimately lies with parents who don't themselves properly value the things they expect schools to instill in their children.
Does it ultimately lie with parents, or does it lie with the publishing companies who are only publishing a handful of blockbuster authors. If those books don't interest you...
There is still value to cover letters. I worked at a company where we put a very simple prompt in the job req which told the applicant to do something trivial im their cover letter. If they failed to do it, we threw the application away. It was to screen for the most basic skill of observation and to know whether or not the asshole sending in the application had even read the job req, which many folks don't do any more. I'd think we culled 30% of applicants from the go.
I'm going to guess the job was a make-work job you expected to receive an exceeding number of applications for.
He would have gotten more functionality and style from a smartwatch.
for a definition of style that only you subscribe to.
Let's put idiots in charge of formulating medical guidance.
We'll have the greatest measles epidemic in the world if we stay the course.
Oh no, not an epidemic of a effectively non-lethal, very treatable, disease that confers lifetime immunity (unlike the vaccine) if you get it. Whatever shall we do!? And just to be clear: more people die from blood loss after perforating their colon from shoving things in their ass every year in the US than measles.
With pockets made for smartphones, like a nice denim button up shirt like Wrangler makes only with the pockets two inches deeper than they ate now, and khaki and denim trowsers with deeper pockets too, a little research can find the best location where the phone is protected from damage by normal activity
Alternatively, you could buy a smaller phone. They still make those.
The great thing about lawsuits is that you can easily countersue, and then both sides get full discovery of everything the other side has.
That's not how that works. That's how the left wishes it worked so they can do more canceling, but no.
I would gladly see Exxon and all other oil companies and refineries leave the state. Fuck them. But they won't because they make billions here, and because California would just buy more electric cars, hastening the inevitable demise of fossil fuels.
As for California's special blends of fuel, they do reduce air pollution and should be mandated nationwide.
As someone who works in energy finance, I can assure you that waving your hands around "they make billions here" is inaccurate. As a percentage of their total footprint, California is small. And California is already so onerous that even my employer is HIGHLY reluctant to recommit a dime to California after we finally exited or last asset there.
They are not. The thermal signature show you are using power. You can be running ASICs in order to train LLMs.
Did you miss the part where they're limiting data centers/AI too? They're trying to limit high-draw+low-human endeavors, not just crypto.
And if they're sleeping on the job (OT or not) well that's up to management to handle. They (not the union) have the common-law right to discipline workers for their job performance.
...yea...that's not how that works.
Part of this decline is MBA-driven.
Beancounters ruin every shop they run, whether it be Boeing, or any ones that I've worked at where Mr. Money Bags controls IT.
In shops that Mr. Moneybags (CFO) do not control IT I've noticed things are much better for IT.
As someone who works at the crossroads of finance and oil&gas, I've often said "these clowns don't know how to run an oil company, they know how to run a stock, and that's not the same thing." That behavior isn't limited to oil&gas. Even Musk has talked about MBAs "parachuting in" to management positions without the slightest clue what they're managing as a negative.
Unfortunately, running the stock is exactly what the shareholders are asking for, and is why they keep getting hired. The solution, of course, is no shareholders. Although the last major software developer taken private caused quite the uproar.
China's not winning because of some kind of hands off approach. They are winning because their governments forced an early switchover to electric and then also built the massive renewable energy supply needed to do that cheaply. That's the kind of active pro-business but also pro-national interest policy that got the US into the leading position it was in after WWII.
We aren't allowed to have pro national interest anything in the US. That's grounds for getting called a fascist, and shot in the neck.
Suggest you just sit there and wait till life gets easier.
