Most contested divorces take more than nine months anyways, and you don’t need a divorce to separate and get into a safe space. Typically separation happens before the legal process starts, and even if you wanted to get remarried there is an intermediate ‘bifurcation’ step which can end the marriage legally before the divorce is finalized.

This is just a legal convenience for the court, but who doesn’t love a little rage bait?

Kamala should start running against/debating with Nicky Haley and just ignore Trump, sends a signal and would likely result in an actual debate on policy… Imagine that!

Has anyone seen Meliana lately? Is she deployed somewhere?

imagine you are watching youtube on this thing and when an ad shows up, you can’t look away, even if you try to they can track your eye movement and just move the window, you can’t mute it, you certainly cannot install adblock on it, you are forced to watch the ad until it satisfies apple

WUT? Apple is very focused on privacy and the idea that a user can’t mute or install Adblock is… weird. Safari has good ad-blocking options as well as built-in anti-tracking features to protect users, applications can’t usually prevent the system from muting content and Apple doesn’t really sell ads outside of the App Store.

If you want to worry about that stuff I’d suggest focusing on the Meta VR goggles or god forbid Google starts making goggles, both of those companies survive on ad revenue and have an incentive to enshitify their experience in ways that the Apple we know today would never do. Of course companies can change over time, but the ethic at Apple is to only make products they feel comfortable with their families using.

The Supremes already declined to hear the case, it would be a little crazy if they changed their collective minds on that and took up the case.

domestic terrorism as a tactic

Imagine if we had Police who don’t terrorize people based on a phone call directing them to what should be a well known address in their area.

Visions and hallucination are not uncommon in meditation practice. In Zen training we’re reminded that the mind generates thoughts and visions like the eyes generate sight, the ears sound and so on… The instruction in that context is not to cling to the vision so that you can return to object-less meditation.

If you are interested in how some of the older meditation traditions view different meditative states, search for Jhana or Dhyana, sentient beings have been doing this for a long time and there is a lot of helpful guidance out there to support your practice.

Chevron? You mean the oil company previously known as Exxon until they had a little boating accident in Alaska?

Oh, she pretty much has to stay out of the sun, bet her SPF cream is as thick as Trump’s tanner.

Honestly, people being able to get tested known doses of various drugs of choice would save a lot of lives and create a lot of opportunity to intervene and help people recover. Making drugs illegal just causes miser and funds crime.

You mean after the Supremes decided Bush vs. Gore for us back in 2000?

Which is weird, given that it’s totally not a racist country… /s

Picking a public fight with the spooks is just not smart.

if you compiled some code and then uncompiled it you would get the most efficient version of it … ?

Sorta, an optimizing compiler will always trim dead code which isn’t needed, but it will also do things that are more efficient but make the code harder to understand like unrolling loops. e.g. you might have some code that says “for numbers 1-100 call some function” the compiler can look at this and say “let’s just go ahead and insert 100 calls to that function with the specific number” so instead of a small loop you’ll see a big block of function calls almost the same.

Other optimizations will similarly obfuscate the original programmers intent, and thinks like assertions are meant to be optimized out in production code so those won’t appear in the de-compiled version of the sources.

Web sites and pages come and go, but the search engine indices are forever. The Internet Archive, for example, uses data from a search engine crawler to populate their archive of the internet (until Alexa was shut down by Amazon, they do their own crawling now). Google likely has a lot of old internet data in archives as well.

True, but if all the data was encrypted, then the drive formatted it would require physically dismantling an HDD in a clean room to recover data, for SSDs the wear leveling makes it hard to fully erase anything, but again, after encrypting and formatting the cost of the tools needed to get the data back are well above the potential benefit (i.e. there are easier ways to get people’s personal info)

It’s a civil suit, they could still be on the hook for criminal charges.
