I value free time very highly and a 9-5 job that doesn’t demand constant OT results in a nice work-life balance, IMO. I personally found the transition very pleasant. Main negative was getting time off for chores that must be done during work hours. But, many places are pretty chill about that.
The Government’s theory would also criminalize a broad swath of prosaic conduct, exposing activists and lobbyist to decades in prison…And the Government’s interpretation would give prosecutors broad discretion to seek a 20-year maximum sentence for acts Congress saw fit to punish with far shorter sentences.
From the decision.
In short, the prosecutor used a non-applicable charge against this individual. The case was remanded back to lower courts to continue.
Or Biden is showing his age and needs to let someone else take the helm. Being left doesn’t mean yes-manning everything the party does.
I heard no end to the complaints while Trump was president about how he was able to do dozens of things and Chevron was a big reason for them; the judiciary simply letting the executive do what they want via creative interpretations of the law.
They just gave themselves a huge amount of extra power…If you want any proof that the court is corrupt, there it is.
Interpreting the law is a power the courts have always had; it’s their core function. It wasn’t until Chevron when the courts willingly gave a portion of this power to the executive. Now they are simply taking it back; a power they always had that the executive abused.
The decision: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-451_7m58.pdf
courts may not defer to an agency interpretation of the law simply because a statute is ambiguous; Chevron is overruled.
Before it was common for the executive to put their own creative interpretation on a law, and the courts would just go with it. Now judges actually have to do their jobs and rule on the law, not simply defer to the executive. This is a big win for reducing administrative overreach.
Sunless Skies was pretty well made. Certainly a niche game, but a quite well made one.
Is this odd? Most cars have had several recalls, and if you have never taken your car in for recall work, you need to go look up what work was (not) done on your VIN and take care of it. Lots of cars are still out there with claymores for airbags, make sure your car isn’t among them.
rather than just being normal and evaluating the law on ‘does it seem normal or moral to ban this’
This is the job of the legislature. To make law based on norms and morals, as well as a dozen other factors.
almost like ConStITuTUiOnALiTy is a dumb fucking way validate the law
The job of the judiciary is to rule based on what the various laws say, which obviously includes the Constitution.
Do you really want the judiciary ignoring the law and legislating from the bench? Remember, your preferred group isn’t the one in the majority.
It’s good they are continuing to stamp down on corruption. It is what you want to see.
I was going to say people can play Shattered Horizon instead. But apparently that one died at some point.
Note how we are talking about how large of douchebags the activists are and just how much they damaged a cultural heritage site.
Fuck these people.
Even Level 1 charging is pretty notable, means the vast majority of your daily miles still come from charging at home. This should be achievable if you have an outside plug and an outdoor extension cable.
Though, I suspect from your statement even that isn’t possible due to ownership issues.
Hydrofoils have never taken off outside of tiny niches. Changing the propulsion from gas to electric does nothing for any of the advantages or disadvantages of hydrofoils other than making the disadvantage of ‘the boat must be as light as possible’ even worse.
A ferry is also one of the worst applications for a hydrofoil possible. Underwater debris like grass is a much larger problem and they have a massively increased draft when traveling at slow speed. Both of these are most acute when when pulling into dock near a shoreline…to ferry things.
Ah, crap, that I do. I should look at a map whenever I talk about them. It’s stored in my head in this fashion:
The fun part is Russia leads the CSTO, which is the same type of organization as NATO. However, three members have left it, including Azerbaijan Armenia just this year as Russia failed to hold up their commitment when Article 4 (equivalent to NATO’s Article 5) was called when Armenia Azerbaijan took land Russia considered Azerbaijan’s Armenia’s in late 2022.
Edit: Flipped the names. They are now correct.
On that 20-year diagonal, there are only eight of the seventy squares that didn’t have returns higher than inflation. And in every one of those few cases, holding just a few years longer made the investment outpace inflation. When even black swan events don’t break the strategy, this simply is more confirmation that investing in an index fund for long periods of time is a proven strategy.
Note that light-red boxes are investments that outperformed inflation. No clue why they would color making more money than inflation red…
The key phrase is ‘over the long run’ and ‘holding them for years’. That 90yo wants to have long-ago moved their investments into bonds because, as you point out, a stock market downturn may not come back up before they die. Waiting out a downturn takes years and they are drawing down on their investments regularly.
Buying enough lottery tickets to guarantee a payout just ensures you lose money as the house always takes a cut. Investing, unlike the lottery, has the benefit of not being a zero sum game. There is wealth generated and buying something like an index fund and holding for years puts you in the group making a profit along with everyone else.
Example: If you bought VTI (an index fund) just before the 2008 crash (and subsequently lost a bunch of value during the crash), you would still be up 257% today. And that isn’t some outladish example; do the same with the S&P 500 and you are up 279% today. Purchasing for the long term and with a wide array of stocks is investing.
Edit: And in both of those examples you would be earning dividends the entire time as well, which is not part of the quoted %.
Both candidates suck. Nobody wants to watch them.
