The strength of the US governmental system never rested on the Constitution. It rests purely on the willingness of the people to behave in proper ways.
I believe that's universally true. It doesn't matter how well written a set of rules is, it can't cover every eventuality and for the ones it does cover, it can be creatively reinterpreted with sufficient motivation to mean almost anything, no matter how obviously absurd.
The constitution is clear.
The constitution is just a piece of paper and a pretty flimsy one when the judges meant to rule on it can be bribed with an RV.
I would depend on my own hands and not someone else's camera to secure the laptop away from the show floor
All one need do to spot the difference in build quality of a German car is slam the door.
Usually you're slamming the hood though.
It could certainly just be a numbers game
FWIW, here are numbers:
Gasoline-powered cars: 1530 fires per 100,000 sold
Hybrid cars: 3475 fires per 100,000 sold
Electric cars: 25 fires per 100,000 sold

An interesting aside: The delivery trucks used by the US Postal Service for the last 40 years are crazy fire-prone. I learned this recently because my brother is a mail carrier and a few weeks ago he was out delivering when he saw wisps of white smoke from under the hood. He pulled over and jumped out to investigate, but by the time he got out it had turned into large black streams of smoke and by the time he walked around to the front he could see small flames. Instead of popping the hood he ran to back and started pulling the mail out. The fire truck arrived about two minutes after he pulled over (this all happened about 100 yards from the fire station) so a couple of packages in back got a little damp but he got everything else clear.
His boss brought him another truck about 10 minutes later and he loaded it up and finished the route. Neither snow, nor rain, nor external engine combustion stays these couriers, you know.
Mail truck fires are so common there's even a web site that tracks them: https://mailtruckfires.com/. This is my brother's truck: https://mailtruckfires.com/uta...
There are four or five distinct serious design flaws that make mail trucks fire prone. Mail carriers are excited about the new trucks that are coming, which should be much better. Many of them will be EVs.
Distinction without difference. All conservatives ever do is co-opt and destroy. 80%, 20%, Donald Trump is 100% who American conservatives are.
No. I refuse to allow Trump to redefine conservatism. True conservatives may be criticized for caring more about economic competitiveness than people, but Trump doesn't care about either.
The average American reads at a 6th grade level. QED.
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Or you could just read the
Currently universities are struggling.
No. Currently US universities are struggling. I do not see any of that where I teach in Europe. And I have no trouble convincing students that what I teach makes sense. You have a problem with your society, not with your universities.
yeah, the Iroquois held most of the land of present day New York State and inhabitable parts of Ontario and Quebec provinces.
It means "Great Lake" in their language - the one their nation surrounded.
However, let's not be trolled by Trump and Google who are both fighting a losing war for foreign interests and want us distracted from $7 diesel.
I just went shopping and the $30 can of shellac primer I usually get is $95 now. Imported ingredients.
It's probably just encrypted, that provides the security-focused part of write protection, at least while it's not been unlocked for boot.
Computers used to have stuff in ROM, stuff used to be a lot smaller, you used to be able to burn your own ROMs and put them on your own boards and have it be meaningful. But none of that is true today of course any more than that you could put a useful amount of storage on a floppy.
Read/write protection on flash is mostly done in firmware and therefore could theoretically be bypassed, I wonder if there were floppy drives before LS120 where that was also true.
It seems like a better solution would be to virtualize the Windows installation in the first place, and then you can do whatever you want with it later if it's compromised. While IT is checking it over to determine whether it's time to revert it to a snapshot or actually try to gather data from it, you can be using an alternate system of whatever kind. The user ought to ideally be basically unaware that anything has happened (why would you boot into Linux when a user is used to Windows?) except that they don't have access to some files.
I never felt any kinship for Musk and it was clear to me from the beginning that Thiel is an enemy of freedom and Science. These days I just think of them as the Space Nazi and the rich cultist. Not good people. And not smart people either. "Blundered into a bunch of money" describes it well.
Well, basically all of the 1st world has that figured out. One may even say all of it has that and the US only qualifies as 2nd world because it is so extremely behind in this important aspect.
