From a marketing perspective, it sounds like a slam dunk. Someone wants to sue you, with lots of fanfare, saying that your energy drink doesn’t actually give you wings? Sure, come in at us. In the mean time, we’ll take out ads everywhere with fake apologies about not actually giving you wings.

It’s shocking that anyone would use MS, they have a pretty terrible security record. https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/2024-04/CSRB_Review_of_the_Summer_2023_MEO_Intrusion_Final_508c.pdf

Basically they used the same encryption key for every tenant and thought that rotating the key was too hard, so they stopped.

Yeah, I feel like a meta community is a clients side feature with server side hints.

That’s a bummer. I would have a plan for how to get to the courthouse without personally driving, otherwise the judge might take offense with how you arrived there illegally and do something more drastic.

It might be too late, but if you have your license renewed tell that to the judge. They will ask you how do you plead, I wouldn’t try to pull any shit with the not guilty plea. Just say you plead guilty, it was a mistake, and you renewed it immediately.

I had my state inspection expire and it was dismissed by the judge. Just dress nice, be respectful, and tell them it happened and you fixed it ASAP. You will still have to pay a court fee, so you won’t get out of jail free, but not having points on your license is worth it.

At the end of the day, most judges just want to see that there wasn’t a nefarious reason you didn’t have a valid drivers license. If you were able to renew it, no harm no foul.

If your third party doesn’t run candidates in local or state elections, it’s not a real political party.

There used to be a saying that Intel had a vault where they paid out the next ten years of CPU tech, so when they invented something new they put it there so they could make profits and control the advancement.

Now, I’m not sure which thing they got wrong, but if it was true, I think Intel was probably caught off guard by all the speculative execution security issues and the GPU revolution (blockchain and AI).

Because the hush money case is the only case that is likely to happen before the election.

The J6 case in DC got screwed by the Supreme Court refusing to take the appeal before waiting for the DC appeals court to rule. It was obvious that the Supreme Court was going to step in and rule, so Jack Smith requested them to just take the case and they declined saying they wanted to let the DC court decide first. Then they took the appeal a month or so later anyways. Now they have held hearings, but even if they rule against Trump, all they have to do is delay until late July and they know that the justice department won’t be able to resume the trial in time.

In the documents case, which is the most fundamentally simple case, Eileen Cannon has ratfucked the whole process to the point that it’s unlikely to start before July. It should be an open and shut case, but she’s entertaining all sorts of crazy legal theories and giving them months to elaborate on them.

If there were so many examples of this in the real world, then you wouldn’t need to photoshop one.

I think his point is that The Washington Time is neither The Washington Post nor The New York Times. It’s a low credibility newspaper with a name meant to sound like those two.
