I think they mean that she is taking the fall for the "unknown" person she "bought" the gun from.

Implying that she was holding the weapon for someone

My understanding is that these sorts of white collar crimes don't normally result in jail time for defendants with no previous criminal record, in New York state courts.

I get the feeling that the number of counts doesn't really matter here, because they are not really unique crimes. My understanding is that they brought 34 charges because they had 34 documents they thought they could prove in court were fraudulent, but it is materialy the same crime (deliberately mischaracterizing the nature of the payment)

I've also seen the top image blurred in my feed, but additional images on the post show unblurred

It is just a public statement of support. There are only consequences to the extent that people care about/respect the opinion and judgment of the person giving the endorsement.

In this case, it's valuable to RFK Jr in so far as individuals listening to Joe Rogan either think Joe has good insights into who should be president, or just want to be like him and will vote the way they think he will vote

I think that "wipes out" here is referring to the lead that Trump had in the polls previously. All the states went from a clear lead for Trump over Biden, to basically even, with one exception showing a clear lead.

I think that it suggests a competitive race, rather than one side coasting to victory. It is hard to draw concrete conclusions still, but the clear lead is definitely gone

I don't have any experience with this printer, but am similarly curious about it's viability as a "budget Voron"

Regarding upgradabilty, I saw this video recently with an attempt to turn it into a multi-tool head printer. It's a work in progress, but I thought it was interesting

That may well be the point. Dell gets the head count reduction, improving the bottom line, without the headline about mass layoffs

I think that the answer to this depends on the audience and the topic or nature of the discussion.

I prefer precise, technical language if the audience has experience in the topic. You can save a lot of time by not explaining things that the readers should, reasonably know.

I think simpler language is appropriate for a more general audience or higher level discussion.

It can be challenging to find the right balance on a forum, like this, where you don't necessarily know who the audience is.

I'm not sure that there needs to be a any grand cosmic reason for life to exist. Life could just be an accident of random events in our little corner of the universe.

Natural selection offers an explanation for how life changes across generations in response to challenges in the environment. It does not require a plan, just that the outcome of a chaotic process (reproduction) creates mutations that produce a slight edge, or at least no reduction in reproductive efficiency.

Dbus attempts to provide a standardized system for inter process communication (IPC) without the complexity of managing individual connections between each and every process that needs to share certain types of data.

I assume that they need them to be handed over through a legal process in order to be admissible in court.

It is generally not allowed to use illegally obtained evidence in court.

Yes, I know that it does happen, and people who can not afford effective legal representation get convinced

I think that's kind of rhe point of these sorts to demos to begin with.

The company says we're developing a product that, we are not ready to ship today, but will be this awesome. Give us some money and you can see how awesome it will be.

I generally assume that anything a company says about a product/service that is not shipping today is the best possible spin on the best version of what they'd like to sell. What you buy probably won't be what is shown as an early demo
