Tired of being better, congratulations!

“Asperger’s” is not a thing anymore. It’s all Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) now. And Hans Asperger was “a bit of a Nazi.”

Cut down all the rest of the shrubbery.

Bungee jump tariffs.

That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.

Make Australia Get Ahead?

“Plans.”

“Minor” cases, indeed.

Illinois does it right. No bail. Either you are released pending trial, or you see a judge where you may be held pending trial.

New York State has bail. Why this guy was released without even having to post bail is beyond me.

Todaro was released on his own recognizance. He is expected back in court in May.

It’s already started.

This isn’t that. This isn’t “let us collect data on you so we can aggregate it and monetize it, it’s buried in the EULA.”

This is state-sponsored actual malware being used to identify, target, track specific individuals.

That one moron is just the tip of the spear.

**… some shipments were incorrectly labeled as coming from the remote islands instead of their correct countries of origin. **

I even put it in bold.

tl;dr: They’re claiming that it was to “prevent countries with tariffs from shipping through there to avoid tariffs.”

The United States alleged the islands exported more goods to the United States than they imported, an allegation that appeared to be calculated from incorrect trade data. An analysis of U.S. import data and shipping records by The Guardian indicated some shipments were incorrectly labeled as coming from the remote islands instead of their correct countries of origin. According to export data from the World Bank, the US imported US$1.4m (A$2.23m) of products from Heard Island and McDonald Islands in 2022, nearly all of which was “machinery and electrical” imports.[39]

Reminds me of Asimov’s Foundation.

That math process for adding the two numbers - there’s nothing wrong with it at all. Estimate the total and come up with a range. Determine exactly what the last digit is. In the example, there’s only one number in the range with 5 as the last digit. That must be the answer. Hell, I might even use that same method in my own head.

The poetry example, people use that one often enough, too. Come up with a couple of words you would have fun rhyming, and build the lines around those words. Nothing wrong with that, either.

These two processes are closer to “thought” than I previously imagined.

If you don’t want to be punished, just stop being poor.

I worked at a Mercedes dealer when the M-Class was coming out of Alabama. They were not great. Kind of on par with Chrysler minivan build quality.
