I honestly don’t know why the GOP are attacking mail-in ballots. I would guess the majority of mail-in ballot users are established older adults, a demographic that usually leans more red. If the GOP is successful in stopping mail-in ballots, won’t a higher percentage of their own voters be blocked from voting for the GOP?
This…may actually be a good thing.
There have been ICE shootings of innocent Americans, and the FBI stepped in and stopped State investigators from moving forward. This happened in Minnesota. If the FBI is now saying they’re not investigating, they should have no reason to stop State investigators. The “justice” department is clearly no longer serving American citizens, but most States still are.
I’d much rather have State investigators than the FBI and this point.
are they tho? maybe for a quick buck.
Sustainable business is far less profitable than maximizing profits. The billionaires’ goal is self enrichment irrespective of the impact to others. This is why they’re not pressing the “small profits, sustainable business button”.
there are lots of factors. for example, unemployed ppl can consume less and pay less taxes, which is bad for the economy as a whole and can devalue the invesrments in all companies of a region.
Why does a billionaire care about the holistic outcome when there is enough inside their zero sum game for them to still benefit the most?
but for the life of me I can’t get inside this type of person’s head space.
My guess is the bottom-of-the-barrel people willing to sign up to be ICE contractors knowing what the job is have previously been powerless and ignored before in their lives. Signing up with ICE gives them a uniform, a badge, limited authority, and a weapon they see as a means to force people to comply with their authority.
So when a pair of unarmed woman called him out for what he was, ignored his perceived authority, and were not intimidated by his uniform and badge, he used his state issued weapon to enforce his version of authority by shooting one as they walked away after they had emasculated him. He couldn’t [let them get away with it].
Thank you for this follow up response. I understand why the college does this now.
I feel for you that this means more work ahead for you. I wish you luck going forward.
Effectively no button to a button presser that is only interested in maximum possible profit (which is the billionaire perspective), but the button absolutely exists and they choose not to press it.
The button likely exists, but that button’s profits are infinitesimally smaller than the other button’s profits.
The people at study department at 1st school told me they won’t accept grades below B, including what I already earned at 1st school. They just won’t count when I go there again, it’s treated the same as transfer.
Something is missing here.
Are they saying that [C and below is a failing grade] for every person that took that class forcing each of those people to retake the class? Or does the [C and below is a failing grade] only for students that didn’t score high enough to continue attending the school and the act they are telling you is your only path to rejoin the school by re-applying through the admissions process is the trigger for [C and below is a failing grade] for those classes?
We’ve sent probes to other worlds. There’s a very small chance we accidentally introduced some of Earths microorganisms to other planets that would still be around in 5 billion years after the sun. We’ve sent all kinds of stuff to Mars which will still be around when our sun turns into a Red Giant eating Mercury, Venus, and Earth. However Mars will have courtside seats to the sun at that point and be baked in high intensity heat and radiation, so I wouldn’t have much hope of any life we introduced there surviving.
We’ve also sent probes into Jupiter. There its unlikely anything could live we brought, but who knows? Lastly we put a lander on Saturn’s largest moon Titan. Its not very hospitable to Earth life there though. Its our best bet though. The only other chances life from Earth would survive is all of the probes we’ve sent out into interstellar space.
The point is, they won’t even accept the courses I already passed (which are all below B except for English), because this rule is just applied universally.
Who cares if they don’t accept courses you’ve already passed. You’re not planning on graduation from 2nd school. You want to graduate from 1st school. When regular admissions open up again in the future for 1st school, you go there and transfer the credits in you earned at and 2nd school. Your prior 1st school credits (below As and Bs) will still be at 1st school so you won’t have to worry about them being accepted as transfer credits because you’d not be transferring them in from outside as the those low grade credits are already inside.
The only colleges taking students at this time of year are ones that have to do 2nd rounds due to low numbers, which very much is nothing IT-related.
Do you have nothing bu IT-related credits you have to earn for you degree? You’re completely done with 100% of your Math, History, Art, and Science credits no related to IT? If you have any of those non-IT credits you still need to earn, thats what you can do this year at 2nd school. Next year you can go back to 1st school and work on IT related credits again.
That one is also funny. There’s no official list.
Well I guess this is one area the USA is better. There are agreed standards that allow for nearly seamless transfer of student’s credits between large groups of universities and colleges.
The only requirement is A/B grade. If that is met, I can send a request to have those results accepted along with the courses’ syllabi, and then I’ll see based on their response.
Okay, so take courses at 2nd school, do well in 2nd school classes, and send the request to have those credits accepted at 1st school next year.
Otherwise it sounds like your best choice is to give up on school this year, and truly commit yourself next year. Any chance you have enough IT experience to get a junior role so you can at least be growing in your field while you’re out of school?
I’m only familiar with the USA regional accreditation process of schools which this doesn’t sound like, so I’ll have to ask questions about the rules in your system:
To study there again, I’ll have to go through regular admission procedure again, but it’s too late to sign up for next year.
Okay its too late to go through the regular admissions procedure for the school you studied at (which I’ll call the 1st school), have you confirmed its also too late to go through the regular admissions process at every other school your original school accepts transfer credits from?
If at least one school would let you go through the regular admissions process (not try to transfer into that 2nd school), then just attend that 2nd school taking different courses you need for your degree earning As or Bs grades, then transfer those newly gained credits back to your 1st school. So not this year, but next year go through the regular admissions process of your 1st school.
I can’t think of any version of immortality that wouldn’t eventually be a living hell.
Being immortal doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t feel discomfort or pain. Even if you do have a version that doesn’t feel pain or discomfort, you could still be trapped, unable to move, in complete darkness, for all eternity.
Step 3. Hope that if people are given the ability that they can live without consuming anything
If human immortality is widespread to a larger population, its even worse. People stop dying, but resources don’t increase. Some versions of immortality also mean humanity becomes sterile. So the population never decreases because people alive today will still exist, but never another new generation.
Step 4. Did i immortal so well now we are all going to have to figure out how to inhabit the interior of the sun.
An immortal “human inhabiting the sun” will mean a human the enters the outer corona, but never having their flesh burn because of the magic immortality. However all your clothes would be burned off long ago. So it would be a bunch of naked immortal humans slowly descending toward the core of the sun eventually being wrapped around the dense pure-neutron core where the affects of gravity would be 100 billion times Earth gravity. You’d stick to it unable to move a single muscle. Matter would be pressing again you all over your body at that same strength. Eventually pure neutrons would encase you inside the core of the star. you’d be stuck in the solid heart of a star for all of eternity.
If we had a larger sun, you might have had the chance to escape when the sun goes supernova and be cast out into the galaxy, but you’ve got bad luck to be stuck in our solar system and our sun isn’t big enough to explode as supernova. Instead, our sun will eventually become a white dwarf, a small star slowing bleeding its remaining heat out into space. This process will take literally trillions of years. Eventually when that heat is gone our sun will be a black dwarf. We have no idea what happens after black dwarf because none exist because the universe isn’t old enough yet! Our universe has only been around for 13.8 billion years.
So I hope you enjoy your immortality stuck inside the heart of a cooling star unable to move a muscle with the rest of naked humanity mixed in with you.
I’ll be keep my mortality knowing I’ll be happily gone in less than 50 years, thanks.
How long will it take for the moon to drift far enough away from earth that the lunar month extends by a day? Or two days?
Not positive, but probably never. The explanation is even more weird. Given 50 billion years, the Earth rotation would slow and would become tidal locked so that one side of Earth is always facing the moon. The other side of Earth would never see the moon. However, in only 5 billion years our sun will expand and engulf all the inner planets including the Earth and the moon.
Up next is probably trump getting mad we’re ignoring his unfounded conspiracy rants and using abusing the cell phone Presidential Alert system that we’re not allowed to opt-out to shove it in our faces against our will.
That or he’s going to issue an EO for a federal poll tax to be paid directly to him, as a means of ensuring voter integrity.
So he would be checking off the 24th amendment to the Constitution as yet another amendment to violate. trump is going for the Pokemon method of fascism “Gotta violate them all”.
Can’t wait until I have to shelter ICE agents in my house under the penalty of law in violation of the 3rd amendment. /s

This game had some of the most immersive hardware controls and interfaces. It supported a Thrustmaster Mark 2flight stick for your right hand control to aim your weapons:
…a Thrustmaster Mark 2 throttle control for walking speed:
… Thrustmaster pedals for torso twist:
…and even i-glasses VR headset (with head motion tracking that would turn the Mech pilots head inside the cockpit!)
This was a new factory with new machines purchased from Turkey. The contractor is spending $200 million to unwind the deal with the Turkish company. The replacement machines are from a US company (at likely an even higher cost).
Its a long article to answer the “why” raised by the headline.
The “why” is this:
Don’t forget that for some parts of the US the air quality from the forest fire smoke is equvelent to the damage of smoking 10 cigarettes a day.
