Yeah, this is obnoxious.

It's also truly terrible at being persuasive.

This isn't "his doctor". It's an independent doctor making an evaluation for the purpose of determining if he's competent to stand trial. It's not private.

Being grandfathered in actually would last forever.

The origin is, during racist bullshit, that one of the ways they "equally" opened extremely restrictive signups to vote was that, if your grandfather could vote, you could vote without dealing with the process designed to make it impossible to actually register. Being grandfathered in would pass to subsequent generations just as easily.

It looks like they're using it correctly to me.

I couldn't even come up with a take. I guess a conspiracy theory that Microsoft is kidnapping the internet's families to keep them from talking about Linux.

It's mostly just babble.

Returning to the example of West Virginia Route 891: An easy way to support the statement that this highway runs east–west is to reference a map that shows it going that direction; however, citing such a map is considered “original research” by some of Wikipedia’s most hardcore policy enforcers.

Every single person undoing an edit on these grounds should be banned from even visiting Wikipedia ever again. Jesus Christ.

They have to pay for anything official.

The rest is the "safe harbor" provision of the DMCA. Effectively, sites aren't liable for user generated content if they respond to official DMCA takedown requests in a timely manner. YouTube also goes beyond that to directly work with copyright holders to preemptively remove infringing content with content ID, which scans everything for violations, and their own tools to report infringement. They don't need to do that for the DMCA protection, but it's probably cheaper at their obscenely large scale.

This is a mess and a half.

Lol at "here's one chip that's new of ours to compare to one chip that's not of theirs".

The laptop space is a mess of shitty confusing labeling, and I would be all for some objective real world standard that manufacturers are required to label every computer with detailing performance at different types of workloads, power efficiency, battery life, whatever, so that general consumers have a chance to wade through all the bullshit. Would it be good if 7000 always meant the same thing? Absolutely.

But how long did intel sell low power envelope dual cores as i7s lol?

Imagine thinking the fact that people will show up at a property to threaten you is something that might affect a real estate purchase.

I would keep it. Even if they accept the warranty, you have a good chance of not getting your SSD back. Are you really going to sell it for enough to be worth it?

You can probably use it somewhere else, though. I don't think they care if it has the right image, and if they do you could re-install it, or dump enough games to clone the drive back.

They almost never call PI on a Hail Mary. And if the complaint is Kelce he doesn't look like he had anything close to a shot at getting near that ball. He's elevated a lot of feet away from a ball coming straight down.
