There is a possibility that Elno gets EVs mandated, or at least promoted to a greater extent. Of course this will only be for Tesla, but there would be a ripple effect on other brands.

If they didn’t already know about it, they’re pretty shitty execs. It’s been SOP for decades

It’s little solace, but not all destination countries will care about that. It might force you to stay away, which creates its own issues.

I’m in IT. It’s the advice I wish I’d followed from the beginning.

Once you get comfortable in your job and it becomes routine, you need to find a new one. Keep growing your skill set, and probably take a hefty raise each time.

Don’t worry about being a job hopper - it resolves itself easily enough when you don’t find the next position for a while.

How would she tell the story?

How confident are you in that?

The most likely scenario is that both the presidency and vice presidency would be vacant. That means it would go to the speaker of the House, most likely to still be Mike Johnson.

But if Democrats have an unexpectedly good result, they could control the House and elect a new speaker. Similarly, Republicans could replace Johnson with someone else.

No. That’s not how the system works at all.

Short of a violent coup, the president’s term ends at noon on January 20, 2025. At that point, there is simply a vacancy in the presidency. It would then be filled according to the line of succession (VP, speaker of the House, etc)

Don’t bother pleading not guilty unless you have an attorney. It grants you (your attorney) time to negotiate with prosecutors to plead guilty to a lesser charge or similar. But an expired license is about the lowest charge you can get.

Traffic court is very routine. People get up, hear the charge, mostly plead guilty/no contest, hear their sentence (usually a fine, probably under $200 depending), and get pointed to where they can pay. You negotiate payment terms at the later office.

It will help to show how you’re going to address the original issue. Even just having an appointment at the DMV, which you can probably book online.

This sounds great, until you realize that some brands don’t believe there is such a thing as bad publicity. Given the opportunity, they would eagerly buy naming rights. Can you imagine how thrilled some ad exec would be to hear everyone saying Budweiser right now instead of Milton?

Jesus the comments are bad…

You need drivers. Specifically, you need the drivers for your internal disk (probably an NVMe), and/or the USB drivers. You also need to have them in a location where you can reach with Windows Setup. If it’s the USB drivers you need, having them placed loose on the USB install drive won’t help.

It’s not a laptop thing, nor an Acer thing per se. But it is a hardware thing. Microsoft didn’t include the drivers for your exact chips for whatever reason, probably because they were never submitted for approval.

In the end, you’ll probably need to mount boot.wim (and likely install.wim) using DISM, add the drivers, then update the USB drive. I don’t think you can do this without a functional Windows machine.

You might be about to get around some of this by trying different USB ports. Some might have different controllers, and thus need different drivers. This was very common when USB3 was new (e.g. USB2 were Intel and connected to the chipset, while USB3 was an add-on from Marvell and the like)

You should change it to something more common, like Bort.

He’s dead? I didn’t even know he was sick…

(/s for anyone not familiar with his work)

For many, maybe even most Americans, NYC might as well be a fictional place. It’s featured heavily in countless movies, TV shows, books, etc. It’s more common than Westeros, Middle Earth, or Hogwarts. And people are expected to understand these settings, at least as much as NYC.

And that’s all before you consider places like Batman’s Gotham that is very clearly NYC.

From the lawsuit itself:

CAH is the sole member of Hole Holding LLC

They actually created a subsidiary for their giant holes/useless land

On top of that, Bedford to Bainbridge looks to be a fairly urban route (Cleveland area). This means she had to at least reasonably stay in her lane and react to other drivers. They also found the car/girl at Target instead of from people calling 911.

Ain’t no one approaching the T-800 to steal your wallet or anything. Curiosity, sure. But you don’t look at that and think “easy target”

Now, if I’ve done something specific to be a target, I’m not sure it would be an effective bodyguard.

Timing and pacing are inherently different when there’s a laugh track. You can’t just silence the laughter or cut the time range. In some cases, you have to rework the joke.

The audience usually attends for free (“for free tickets to the _____ show, call…”), but there’s still a lot of overhead. Not only do you need ushers, security, and so on, you need to be filming on a sound stage with a place for the audience.

On the flip side, laugh tracks are easily added in post.

Let’s start with the question, “pressure from who?”. Do you even care about their opinion?

As I age, I care less and less about vague social obligations like that. I live my life for me, not for them. Yes, there are things that are better/easier/whatever when you’re young. There are also things that are easier if you start them when you’re more experienced, or financially stable. None of them give a particular fuck about the calendar. You’ll do them by 25. Or 30. Or 40. Or not at all. If you want to settle down and have kids, go ahead and do it now. If you don’t, then simply don’t. If you are career-driven, do whatever you can right away. This is true whether you’re 25 or 55.

Counterpoint: birthdays (and cake days, and many anniversaries) are a pointless celebration.

Payton Oswalt had a pretty good plan on that: https://youtu.be/sbJs-Ul1QFo
