Yup. Trump also removed the requirement limiting the amount of water a toilet can use to flush and no manufacturers cared. They already changed their designs and factories to produce efficient models. Why would they change it all just to make stuff that’s worse?

tl;dw

And then the article:

“The poll shows 1 in 3 Americans support continuing to send random brown people to a gulag in El Salvador on the off chance it lowers grocery prices.”

Definitely! But as another comment said, there’s no guarantee a teacher will actually reframe the problem into something interesting. They can just give you work sheets and have you do them over and over and over. Math then becomes a topic that relies heavily on the teacher’s ability to engage with students compared to other subjects.

I think it’s a topic that just doesn’t interests most people, especially children. Where I live, solving problems like 10 - x = 4, solve for x is taught to 10 year olds in grade 5. How many 10 year olds would think this is interesting?

In comparison, grade 5 science teaches cells are the building block of life, energy can exist in forms like electrical and light and can transform between them, and matter has states like solid, liquid, and gas. It’s stuff that ends up being naturally more interesting.

I ordered a margarita pizza! Where’s the margarita!? You’re fired!

It could hallucinate a citation that never even existed as a fictional case

That’s what happened in this case reviewed by Legal Eagle.

The lawyer provided a brief that cited cases that the judge could not find. The judge requested paper copies of the cases and that’s when the lawyer handed over some dubious documents. The judge then called the lawyer into the court to ask why he submitted fraudulent cases and why he shouldn’t have his law licence revoked. The lawyer fessed up that he asked ChatGPT to write the brief and didn’t check the citations. When the judge asked for the cases, the lawyer went back to ask ChatGPT for them, and it generated the cases…but they were clearly not real. So much so that the defendants names would change throughout the case, the judges who ruled on the cases were from different districts, and they were all about a page long when real case rulings tend to be dozens of pages.

My guess is to maintain plausible disability. A foreign government assisting you win an election isn’t illegal if you aren’t aware of it. It becomes illegal when you know it’s happening and do nothing to stop it.

Depends on the type of contempt charge. Legal Eagle compares the types in a video on this case.

tl;dw

• Civil Contempt (coercive) - incremental fines or jail time until the charged follows an order.
• Civil Contempt (compensatory) - a fine paid to someone who was wronged by ignoring a court order
• Criminal Contempt (direct) - jail time meant as punishment for directly disobeying a judge while court is in session
• Criminal Contempt (indirect) - jail time meant as punishment for disobeying a judge while court isn’t in session.

Criminal contempt can be pardoned and Trump has pardoned it before. Civil contempt cannot be pardoned but it only lasts until an order is followed.

Enforcing a contempt ruling is the next issue. Normally a US marshal would enforce it but they technically answer to the Attorney General, who answers to Trump, who could order them not to listen to the judge or be fired. A court could theoretically deputize someone to enforce the order directly, but that has never happened and people could just not recognize the authority of the deputized officer.

I really hate how this is the global wedge issue. It worked with Trump in the US and now PP is using it in Canada. Neither of them care about Gaza, nor do their supporters. However, the supporters of their opponents do care. So they keep pressing their opponents to make half hearted statements about the issue in the hopes that it causes their supporters to just not vote for anyone.

CSIS has confirmed Modi has interfered in Canadian elections as well as sent an assassin to kill his critic inside of Canada.

Imagine the group was called “Friends of Trump” and was filled with MAGA fanatics. It’s not illegal to accept their donations, but it is a bad look.

The porn. Right now the porn subreddits are mostly advertising for subscription sites like OnlyFans, Fansly, Patreon, etc. Reddit definitely thinks they can stop being used to advertise subscription sites and just become one themselves.

I just spent $4,000 CAD on mine and I’m glad I didn’t wait any longer.

Because I’m a Gamer! A Gamer! The most oppressed minority on the planet!

But the author’s actual reason is:

Our hobby deserves better from the companies that made their billions on the backs of PC gaming

Which seems about as true as saying Microsoft made their billions on the backs of PC gaming.

He has the cards and by cards I mean kompromat.

They actually call themselves a tech company now. Their machines are guided by satellites and use computer vision to tell apart weeds and sprouts.

I see making meme petitions is the new flavour of the month.

I pirated Paddington 2 the other day then deleted it. If that wasn’t available I would have watched something else. I get what you’re saying, but I also don’t take it that seriously. I mean, I watched Paddington 2. I’m not exactly a movie buff.
