Oh shit, I think that was announced right at the time of the exodus. When I signed up, there was no such thing. But my last alt had been created maybe 5-6 years ago.

(Source; Alt text: "By the third trimester, there will be hundreds of babies inside you.")

There's already a mechanism for bad parenting: take their kids away.

I'm not responsible for bad parenting, and it's not an acceptable reason for bad legislating.

I don’t see the down side

Being able to draw talent in.

As a dev myself, a short term contract would have to be pretty favorable for me to consider it.

If you steal property, you must report its fair market value in your income in the year you steal it unless you return it to its rightful owner in the same year.

Lesson learned. Steal on Jan 1st 00:01, return to owner on Dec 31st 23:59, rinse repeat.

If I were a county clerk there, I'd refuse to marry hetero weddings.

Just kidding, I'm not a trash human being that would do that based on, well, anything. I think discrimination is a piece of shit thing to do regardless of the claimed underpinnings.

I wonder if, for example, an activist investor could swoop in and buy a fuckton of stock to sway stock holder votes and the like. Is that something that's detailed in IPO terms, all the shares that are "spoken for" and the percentages of those stakes?

Man she is such a betty. I was enamored with Estonia before, and she puts it over the top!

I'm gonna assume you're not from the US given your lemmy instance. In the US most police radios transmit "in the clear", i.e., not encrypted. As such, anyone can buy a "police scanner", or a radio on the same band as police/first-responder frequencies.

In the internet age, there's websites (and apparently apps now too), that physically monitor these radio channels and stream them online. Hence, a "police scanner app". Hope that helps.

Having typed all that out, the only thing I ask is to let us know where you're from, please.

Turns out she was a duck, so they let her go.

Some thoughts:

Ubuntu, most likely

I'd encourage you to take a look at Linux Mint, it alleviates some of the Ubuntu fuckiness. And if you want to join the "I use arch btw" crowd, maybe checkout EndeavourOS if you're feeling more brave than just Ubuntu variants (which is built on arch, but makes barrier to entry a little easier).

i9s are the latest hotness but don’t think the price is worth it

Take a look at last generation to soften the blow to your wallet. E.g., instead of looking at a 14900k, look at 13 or even 12 series. In fact, this is a useful strategy all around if you're being price conscious: go one gen older.

GPU that can support some sort of ML/AI with DisplayPort

Probably going to want to go with a discrete card, rather than just integrated. Other major consideration is going to be nvidia vs AMD, for which you'll need to decide if CUDA should be part of your calculus or not. I'll defer to any data science engineers that might wander through this post.

The rest of your reqs pretty much come as regular stock options when building a pc these days. Though another nicety for my latest builds, is multi-gig nics (though 2.5Gb was my ceiling, since you'll also need the network gear to utilize it). Going multi-gig is nice for pushing around a fuckton of data between machines on my lan (including a NAS).

Very last thing that I've found helpful in my last 3 builds spanning 15 years: I use newegg for its reviews of items, specifically so I can search for the term "linux" in any given product's reviews. Often times I can glean quick insight on how friendly (or not) hardware has been for other's linux builds.

And I lied, I just remembered about another linux hardware resource: https://linux-hardware.org/?view=search

You can see other people that have built with given hardware. Just remember to do a scan too once your build is up to pay it forward.

Good luck, and remember to have fun!

That Venn diagram, tho

Ahem:

aerae: Latin, genitive/dative singular of aera

eni: Urhobo for 'elephant'

oreta: Latin, taxonomic genus within the family Drepanidae.

aroe: Rōmaji transcription of アロエ

oine: Danish, indefinite plural of øie

aen: Rōmaji transcription of あえん

enta: French, third-person singular past historic of enter

aete: Rōmaji transcription of あえて

The key to being productive as a programmer is to have a great code editor

True true.

The best code editor came from GitHub

I'm out.

You gotta give this guy some credit, hear me out.

Even as rich as he is, he still finds the time every single two weeks to visit some po-dunk community, miles off the main highway, not even a Walmart within two hours, simply to find good ol' American salt of the Earth type people that don't even recognize him.

Once he arrives at that destination, it's not off to the most expensive kept-secret B&B, it's not off to the most expensive trail boss for exotic hunting, no no, it's to the cheapest fucking cost cutters barber that side of Oklabama to get that godawful Data-from-Star-Trek:TNG haircut.

Or at least I hope that's the story behind his hair, because there can be no other plausible reason for it.

September 15, 1990 - May 11, 1996.

Wikipedia is your friend.

Understood. But if the Trump apparatus has been undervaluing illegally, and this is the first time evidence of it is front and center, it might catch the attention of the taxman. And that's generally not attention most would want.

Sadly I think the IRS would wait till after the election to avoid the appearance of trying to sway things in favor of the current administration. And even after, only pursue legal action if Trump doesn't win. Fucking equal justice my ass.

I would have liked to see a lifetime ban

Three years could be, dude does not look healthy.

If all of this fuckery doesn't involve some element of back taxes to be collected, I'd be extemely surprised. And the back tax clamping is a fuck you pay me type clamping for sure.
