5·21 hours agocorrectional officers labeled the more than 60 pages from the court “contraband” and charged Bishop with “abuse of the mail system.” After filing a formal complaint, officers put Bishop in a lockdown cell for four days with a man accused of “inflicting harm on another inmate” and manufacturing a weapon, according to court and prison disciplinary records.
People often say “developers” when referring to development studios, which includes management. They don’t necessarily mean individual programmers.
My concern is that this change to the electrical code would impose needless expense on responsible people, while doing nothing to discourage the the irresponsible ones.
I think you meant to ask the person to whom I replied. The figure you quoted was from them.
IMHO, though, a couple hundred dollars more up front, is worth the headaches down the road from a shitty install.
Unfortunately, it’s nothing but overhead cost for people who are sufficiently skilled and can follow electrical codes. Sigh.
2·3 days agoNice. Here’s hoping you can show them off soon.
Does it include scalable icons? Do they support Plasma’s automatic color schemes, which allow a single icon file’s colors to adapt to both dark and light desktop themes?

92·5 days agoWe’re discussing things purchased at retail, as stated in the first sentence of the article and indicated in my comment by the word scalping. Not wholesale markets.
I found this in US Code Title 15 Subtitle B Chapter VII Subchapter E Part 791 Subpart A § 791.4:
§ 791.4 Determination of foreign adversaries.
(a) The Secretary has determined that the following foreign governments or foreign non-government persons have engaged in a long-term pattern or serious instances of conduct significantly adverse to the national security of the United States or security and safety of United States persons and, therefore, constitute foreign adversaries solely for the purposes of the Executive Order, this rule, and any subsequent rule:
(1) The People’s Republic of China, including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Macau Special Administrative Region (China);
It looks like the determination of this “long-term pattern” was put on the books no later than 2024. Since Title 15 is about Commerce and Foreign Trade, it seems reasonable to think that hostilities being considered by the US are not just physical hostility, but also economic hostility.
I imagine there’s also political hostility to consider. I haven’t been following election interference news, but wikipedia has an article about it, so I suppose it’s at least a concern these days.
Just as Padilla took to the Senate floor to deliver an emotional speech, New York City comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was arrested in a courthouse after demanding to see a judicial warrant for an immigrant federal officials were attempting to detain.
How about we make scalping of anything illegal everywhere, with a mandatory punishment of community service hours, valued at minimum wage, until the scalper pays back double their cumulative scalping profits?
It’s not clear who wrote the agenda. No committee chairperson has been named and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services did not comment.
Who in their right mind would accept and follow such an agenda?
Meanwhile, Trump’s so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” spending and tax bill would direct $168 billion towards immigration and border enforcement. But that increased spending and other immigration-related costs could cost the U.S. an estimated $1.4 trillion over the next decade.
The practice extends beyond those. Lemmy is not immune, for example.

This community looks relevant in principle, although most of the posts right now are about political astroturfing (which is not the only kind):
You know that it’s common for companies to pay influencers and publications for favorable publicity, right?
The first things I would try would be:
After that, I would start reading the discussion here:

This comment seems relevant, as does this one. There are plenty more.
