A court order usually adjudicates if something is illegal and stops it. Trump believes his actions can’t be illegal because he is president, hence this situation.

For what’s worth, DoE was established in 1979.

The jokers are what makes the game fun. You should try it. It’s a kind of video poker though.

You have never interacted with the US immigration system, right?

Even if you marry a US citizen, you aren’t eligible for a green card if you stayed in the country without legal status. You are required to leave the country, wait 10 years for the violation to clear out from your record, apply for a green card at the embassy, wait 2-3 years for approval, and then re-enter the country. Approval is unlikely for anyone with past violations, so I wouldn’t plan on approval anyways.

For the people involved in this, it’s unlikely that they will ever be together again (unless they re-enter the country without papers).

True. Microwaves, tv dinners, and hot pockets.

Back in 1890, there was no income tax. The federal government was funded through tariffs. With the upcoming rewrite of the tax code, the current administration needs new revenue, and trariffs are one of the few the president cab levy unilaterally.

I imagine you have a fridge, a stove, and know how to cook. Sometimes you cook at home, sometimes you eat out.

Let’s say that you want to stop eating out, or maybe save money, or maybe you do it just because it’s fun: each time you order out, you put 25% of the bill in a jar at home.

Eating out becomes more expensive for you (now that you need to pay the jar), but the restaurant makes the same money. In the long term, the restaurant might loose out on money if you decide that paying the jar is too expensive and you just decide to cook at home. But hey! You have a jar full of money at home. Maybe you’ll do something with it one day.

Replace the jar with tariffs and cooking out with whatever we buy from around the world and you have what’s happening now.

As far as the value of the home, you need to consider rebuilding costs. New construction costs in the LA area are on average $440 and higher for custom work.

At those prices, a new house, without the land, will cost at least $500000 to build (also note that a 1130 sq ft house isn’t really what most people want to buy, as the average new house size is around 2000 sq ft, putting the cost of a basic house at $880000, again without the land).

If you are in school now because it’s part of the common core 6th grade standards.

Yes, thank you. It looks like the backslash just escapes the character??

Privacy =!= Protection from legal action

If you use your iPhone to conduct illicit business, the police can subpoena Apple and it will hand over your data (at least in the US).

Privacy in this context means preventing other apps from selling your data to brokers (e.g., location data) or using your phone information to do other stuff (e.g., AI training).

This 🔝

Berlusconi had a similar political appeal. After he exited politics, his party went to the biggest in Italy to insignificant.

It will be really difficult for someone to pick up the Republican Party and run with the same platform as DJT. Many have tried it (e.g. de santis) but none is able to have the same success.

The HOA would like to have a talk about the height of your grass and the color of the planters in front of your house.

I assume that 80% of the users are on one or two instances. Maybe the operators of those instances could sell it to a big publishing company, like Condé Nast or something. That way it will be easier to vertically integrate advertisement between traditional print media, online publications, and less formal online gathering places. It’s a win win at the end. The original operators get their bag, and the community keeps going while being supported by a successful business.

Maybe it’s time to go to the court house and change their name to Lua?

One that builds tractors? Italian “automotive” industry in the 1910s was pretty much all tied to agricultural machines.

Here is the salient point on the Wikipedia page that explains why horses don’t produce 1 HP:

Watt judged that the horse could pull with a force of 180 pounds-force (800 N)

Basically, Watts made up HP to sell his steam engine to mines and likely made up a number to make the new technology seem better.

Some things never change.

These models are mad libs machines. They just decide on the next word based on input and training. As such, there isn’t a solution to stopping hallucinations.
