The tax payer pays up almost $1M and these scumbags remain employed. How predictable.
Also, just in case anyone isn't aware: rule number one if you're in the US and police ever bring you in and try to interrogate you is to shut down and demand a lawyer. Legally, the interview has to stop immediately until you have one present. If the officers don't comply, then you know they're corrupt and there's no reason to believe anything they say from that point onwards.

I'm seeing exactly the same thing. Certain companies re-listing the same position for months on end, despite hundreds of people applying.
According to this article I read recently, some companies are either doing it to give the illusion that they're thriving and planning to take on more staff, or just to keep a pool of potential applicants on the back burner just in case.
It sucks. I've been looking to make a career change for over a year, and have only had two interviews despite sending out literally hundreds of applications.
Political intrigue just like Andore! I mean people love that one and it’s just a guy being a giant dickhole for 12 episodes.
That right there is fighting talk.
the sequel trilogy is bullshit.
Oh, indeed.
Sure, the acting and dialogue in Start Wars were always dodgy, but at least in ANH you had a solid retelling of The Hero's Journey and the charm of practical effects. tPM was just a big, bloated, incoherent, CGI-ridden mess with only a couple of good actions scenes thrown in.
I think it's a generational thing. Most/many older Star Wars fans (such as myself) who were already adults when the prequels came out hated them from the get-go.
I recall being the reaction being pretty much this:
It depends how you're using the term 'genocide'.
While the CCP might not necessarily be intentionally mass-killing ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang region, there is very strong evidence that they are doing their utmost to stamp out Uyghur culture and forcibly assimilate them. In the process, people are being incarcerated, tortured, and raped, amongst other things.
It could be argued that this is a crime under international law, where the definition of genocide includes
intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group".
Or you could argue it is ethnic cleansing instead. Either way, it's a lot more serious than just overzealous "counter-terrorism" measures.
Why shouldn't three elected politicians make a statement to the local press?
Single lens reflexes have one massive advantage: the sensor is not being used while you're composing or idle, which means the sensor doesn't heat up as much.
The other big advantage is much better battery life.
That reminds me of this real exchange in the Missouri state legislature regarding the "Don't Say Gay" bill that banned any mention of "sexual orientation or gender identity" in schools.
They could simply continue from where they left off in Season 1 and fill in the blanks? I personally felt the ending was a little unsatisfying.
Either way, it's a bold move. It wouldn't be the first time a team of writers has had to come up with completely original material and fallen flat on their faces.
I've personally had issues with Fedora's version updates - once with Fedora and another with Nobara (which is Fedora based). In both cases, dependency conflicts broke the update and they were a considerable pain to fix. It was enough for me to switch to a rolling release distro and never look back.
