Right, who is swinging the hammer? Is it the user that asks for it to be swung or is it the thing that responds by swinging?

Yes, I'm doing the strange thing of talking about what a just, moral society should do rather than interpreting and analyzing the limits of current law.

The US somehow subjugating 180 million people is delusional. And tens of millions of current US citizens would probably side with Canada and Mexico.

It's right in the quote there. If they have a valid id, suspicion is not enough to continue hassling them.

I guess I believe that we should remove the discretion that you believe the officers have...

Which has little to do with the procedure we should require when an enforcement officer is presented with a valid state issued id.

If someone is here long enough to obtain a state id, there's no reason to detain them on suspicion of their status having expired, so an unexpired id should be enough to end the encounter.

If they are suspected of some other crime, detain them for that, fine. But no masked goons accosting people because they claim they suspected their immigration status.

Take joy in abundance.

The average depth is more like 400 feet.

One diagram I saw indicated 2 different layers of bedrock. I didn't find anything real clear, but it can be that the lower layer is a more suitable material for the tunnel.

Professional users doing more than 1 document? Yes, I'm absolutely blaming them.

I agree that affordances are good, but tools are tools, they can have rough edges, it's okay that it occasionally takes more than zero knowledge and attention to use them.

The tool in Acrobat is exactly placing black rectangles on stuff. There's a second step you are supposed to do when you are finishing marking the redactions that edits out the content underneath them, and offers to sanitize other hidden data:

That failed redactions happen over and over and over is kind of amazing.

The whole point of granting limited liability is that it enables things that benefit society.

So if something doesn't benefit society, don't extend that grant to it.

Yeah, I said that.

Why do they call a proposal for ships that haven't been designed the unveiling of a fleet?

He isn't very likely to live long enough for his stupid aesthetic choices to end up in the final designs, if they even get built.

They do use evaporative cooling. A few sites aren't going to have a big impact on a Great Lake though, especially when lots of that evaporated water ends up falling in the basin.

In 2020, I took photos of Lake Michigan over topping the walls of the local harbor. Record highs.

At present Michigan-Huron is close to the 100 year average (https://www.glerl.noaa.gov/blog/2025/06/23/great-lakes-water...).

The big contributor is that we've not had particularly wet years overall since 2020.

It hasn't been Obamacare at least since the repeal of the individual mandate.

You end up with useless processors, and you are working against the market. Converting increases the demand for light and decreases the demand for heavy, which will at least directionally improve the supply cost advantage of the heavy.

Those wages are far below the upper limit imposed by the value of college education...

That it's possibly signaling rather than something more concrete doesn't really matter to the economic analysis.

Productivity has always imposed an upper limit on wages.

Why would you forego bodily injury liability coverage? Most states require it, and it makes sense if you have even modest assets.

The medical portion of my insurance that covers me (unlimited PIP) is like $17 a month, I can't see driving much and not spending that, even with relatively limited expectations for how much easier it might make things.

Mr. Trump, tear down this wall!

Build enough housing and all of the sudden it isn't such a sure thing investment.

Not easy to do of course, but the problems that come with building more housing are better then the problems we have now.

Is this the SharePoint backed OneDrive that you get with a business subscription?

I've had some irritations with it, but overall having versioning has been a much bigger benefit than the hassle.

Are there downsides to OneDrive?

I can see being resistant to change, haven't had issues with it (and have benefitted from the auto save quite a lot).

The newer air source models have good performance well below freezing. Older models didn't really.

Costs also matter. Some relatives that are on the fairly expensive rural electric operator around here installed a ground source heat pump, at pretty high up front cost. They wouldn't have bothered if they had a natural gas hookup.

Modern process controls allow us to hit intended outcomes consistently at lower costs. But that doesn't mean the intended outcomes are always better that what you would aim for with less capability.

There are real customers that want cost reductions that lead to reduced lifetimes, because they have no intention of using the thing they are buying for decades. It isn't just manufacturers looking to make money through planned obsolescence.

My understanding is that they already make more money on the ad tiers.

(So the price increases are about finding the revenue maximizing price for the ad free tiers, not about overall profit)

Yeah, I haven't either. That's my point.

My hn comments are a better (and probably not particularly good) view into my personality than any data the government could conceivably have collected.

If what you say is true, why should we fear their bizarre mind control fantasy?

It's great that all those people without special skills can access rewarding jobs in the powerhouse US economy.

It's demented to think that they are undermining wages when unemployment was basically 0 when Trump and his moronic goons took power.

This idea that we should use borders to keep other people poor is just insane.
