Cool, but also cap property tax increases as well. Mine have increased over 10% for the last 3 years.

XP didn't have built-in virus protection, you had to install anti-virus once you got to the XP desktop. But, as I found out, during setup XP was talking to the Internet and vulnerable to infection.

Was installing Windows XP and forgot to unplug the computer from the internet. It got a virus during install.

Live service, paid car passes, beautiful open world but inexplicable gameplay choices.

It's a cool tech demo, it does things the other space sims do not. But be aware during the free periods the game tends to run worse, it depends on servers a lot.

Biden expanded overtime pay guarantees for millions of workers, offered legal immigrant status to 500,000 spouses of US citizens who have lived in the US at least 10 years, has so far prevented a recession, expanded access to over-the-counter contraceptives, expanded renewable energy programs, with the CFPB saved citizens billions of dollars of junk bank fees (and got the current Supreme Court to uphold the CFPB), worked with a bipartisan group of senators to reform the election process to help prevent another Jan 6 type stunt, and the Inflation Reduction Act which includes funding for things like the study of greenhouse gas effects on farming and a 50% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. The Biden administration does things to help citizens.

The article doesn't seem to address whether his voice is different than it was, but I'm guessing it is. But it does say:

And just as Lott had assured him, Kedian retained his beloved Boston accent.

Which makes sense because an accent would be in the brain not in the voice box.

I can say good things about Biden. I think Biden's positions on most issues (except Israel) and his administration are fine.

Completely normal to be bitter. You were doing your job and had your life in order, then your company disrupted all that by laying you off.

But that's the past and now you need to put on a positive face and work smart and hard to find another job. Don't let your bitterness cloud your attitude. You've got to show the best you to potential employers, not the disgruntled you.

Word of mouth is often a good way to find positions, ask friends and acquaintances if they know of any positions.

Universities need a lot of staff and tend to be more stable than businesses. Also I've heard many times that working for temp agencies often leads to permanent jobs when the temp job is over.

And very very tired and thirsty I would imagine.

It's not like the president does everything personally. It comes down to administrations to me, Would I rather be governed by a Trump administration or a Biden administration? Definitely Biden for me.

And it will idle for an hour before and during fireworks, that cold quad zone AC will keep everyone at their ideal comfortable temperature.

 

This is strange to me. Did the students create the deepfake nudes or did software create those nudes? A normal image editor program won't just create explicit material on its own, the user has to do it with a mouse/tablet/whatever. But AI algorithms will. Even if the kids were giving the instructions to AI, why isn't the software and/or the company that runs it at least somewhat liable for creating child porn?

Suppose the students drew the nudes themselves, but they were really bad stick figure drawings with a name beside them to say who it's supposed to be? Is that illegal? What if they were really good artists and the drawing looked like a photo? At what point is the art considered good enough to be illegal?
