Nobody is going to actually care about this except as a gossip item.

Did he use Campaign finances to pay for things ? Did he break the law by misusing and mis-appropriating funds ? Has he done money laundering ?

And most important of all, IS HE GOING TO SPEND TIME IN JAIL FOR ALL HIS CRIMES ?

If its "Rules for thee and not for me" most people are not going to care. They will want to set the world on fire and watch it all burn to the ground.

I hope no one wants to know the private going on of these kinds of deranged people. If they do the crime, they must do the time. Sadly it is rich-get-out-of-jail-free card at play.

Unions should demand that the worker salary per year should be equal to the highest paid employee of the company's total pay averaged monthly.

That way the CEO will only be able earn 12-times more than the lowest paid union member.

Also CEO/Board member benefits / bonuses / gifts are ILLEGAL unless the exact same is automatically provided to every unionized worker.

YT Our Self Reliant Life.

Is that Food Reviews- Running on Empty - Report of the Week guy?

Orville is a return to the ST:TNG formula that made Picard and Riker so famous and much loved.

I actually like Seth and Adriana as CiC and FO. They play off each other without seeming disingenuous.

Recent warnings about Automatic Cat Litterboxes chewing up cats and munching them to death makes very sad and very bad.

It is important to stay on message and also to do a bit of attack-dog name-calling.

Totally correct for Kamala to do both.

Drumpf is a sad old filthy-rich loser egotist smoocher criminal who never should have been allowed even 10-feet to the Oval Office.

DO NOT F.A.F.O. this election Kamala and the DNC.

It is so vital and crucial to keep campaigning and doing things right.

If you F.A.F.O. kiss goodbye to EVERYTHING. You WILL BEAR THE BLAME.

Now it is up to Kamala and the DNC to hold their promises and keep fighting till election day.

1. Keep campaigning in key rust-belt states.

2. Stay on message.

3. Pass as many executive orders to be finalized after Jan 6 2025.

4. Keep fighting for the middle-class families and get people like Bernie Sanders and Katie Porter and Tammy Duckworth to front-run every possible middle-class campaign and draft bills for congress, house and senate.

DO NOT GET INVOLVED IN CONTROVERSIES OR SIT BACK IDLY!

Get Elected and then do whatever PR statement, controversy, bs etc.

3 billion from StarLink is not even remotely believable. StarLink does not have a customer base of 100+ million yet.

8 BEEELLION USD per YEAR for a Private Business Owner ... PLEASE SIGN ME UP ! :-D

Are you seriously thinking that SpaceX can generate 8 BILLION USD revenue ????

StarLink probably brings in about 30 to 50 USD million per year .... thats not taking into account the cost of StarLink satellite launches .... so that is probably break-even or a small loss-leader. ( there are maybe about 80 million StarLink customers ? paying 50 USD per month ... )

Please give me even 1 MILLION USD ! :-D Let alone 8 ! EIGHT ! VIII !!! BEEELLLION DOLLARS !!!!!

SpaceX can't survive without govt grants upwards of 8 billion USD ? per year?

So thats coming out of NASA.... which means not self-sufficient ...

So, since this is related to your course and a required part of assignments, get things in writing,

1. Let the Dorm and ISP know that you need an exception due to coursework.

2. It might be in your best interest to temporarily invest in your own internet,I think 5G might have low enough latency to manage the connection.

If all this is for one semester until you move back ? Just get a cheap mini-PC install pfSense or any other firewall/router software to isolate all your devices and Wifi router from the rest of the network. I believe some people have mentioned MAC-spoofing and TTL-reset as ways to bypass detection. And if anyone asks, you can show your written communications and your course requirements.

Always be on the safe side when it comes to dealing with academics and private orgs.

There might be a Dept Counselor or Rep you can discuss about your requirements. Even professors can help with some of these kind of things.

Downright idiotic to use "Northern India" as a known climate. During COVID the air-pollution cleared up enough to photograph the foothills of the Himalayas from New Delhi.

Can you imagine HOW much Indians have screwed up the entire climate of India ?

It is not even funny the deaths caused due to man-made pollution in India.

And Indians are the majority causing the man-made pollution not "foreign" entities.

Ehhh ??? :-D No idea as I don't read such controversial authors! X-D

Neigh :'D

That is what JetFuel A / B is for ! Jet A does wonders for body-typeA and B for body-typeB !!!

University is your life choice. If your life hobbies are impacting your choice to attend your chosen university, you still are a responsible adult.

Have hobbies, but don't deny your responsibilities for making your own choices in your own life.

It sucks if the University you chose forced such rules on students and included dorm as part of the tuition expenses. I cant imagine people taking on student debt with such high tuition+boarding. I guess anyone accepting at that local University is forced into this situation.

"schools" ? This is university. Quite surprising to hear that Universities would have a policy "freshmen MUST live on campus". Must be some kind of extreme private boarding "school". I feel bad for you if you went to such a Uni.

Yes but dorms are optional. No one attending Uni is forced to live in the dorms. Uni is not a boarding school at least to my knowledge.

Mighty unpopular opinion here.

OP you are there at the Uni to learn to grow and pass the course+exams. If you need to do extracurricular activities, please setup time at home, travel home to do those things.

If home is faraway and you still want to do it, find a reliable off-campus-non-dorm location and do your stuff from there.

Your main objective is to get through Uni without falling behind and managing your time and effort wisely. If you fail Uni because you focused too much on non-essential activities, be a responsible adult and accept the results of your adult decisions.

Edit: I never said that OP shouldn't do non-Uni activities. Just that time+effort has to be MANAGED between the two. Life isnt fair and life doesnt give two shits if you fuck up. That is what being an adult means.

Edit2: I can see people commenting on Universities imposing mandatory dorm fees. Do you people not choose which university to apply and get accepted? Did you not think..."this uni is very strict, or this uni has a lot of on-campus resources, or this uni has great course-materials, etc etc" ... and it would also include "this uni dorm is optional/mandatory and I can live there cheap or live outside expensive or it is bum-ducking nowhere but fields/forests/wilderness" .... you did choose that uni to attend and paid up ?

Since the price mentions British Pound Sterling as currency I dont think Verizon would be there. But T-Mobile is probably there in the UK.

A lot of Unis have IT on a shoestring budget.Especially the CompSci dept have the most idiotic IT "professionals" working there.

Usually it is the Sciences dept like Mech-E or Tech-E or Elec-E who run massive Compute nodes for Rendering Physics or Fluid dynamics or something something research ....

Unfortunately, the Unis that have massive student dorms on-campus tend not to isolate their networks properly and allow students to directly connect to all depts Networks without any barriers. The isolation happens between LAN and Internet which is where most of the controls and filtering happens.

It would be nice if each dept had their own VPN servers and proper network isolation at the LAN instead of the crazy monkey wiring everything to everything else on-campus.

Dont they make Tea out of stinging nettles or something?

I've tried hibiscus tea which is nice even without the sugar.

The social pressure and societal loss of face is very bad in Japan. There has to be a better way.

I think on YT thunderf00t was attempting to use a mix of Sodium and potassium metals for combustion producing water and some "white clouds".

Instead of Iron or rust, you could separate Sodium out of Salt-water and start depositing and collecting sodium metal to store under oil or some non-reactive container. Then you could use that sodium metal for later reactions.

From fission I believe the lowest stable element you get after fission ends up being mostly Iron. I suspect Fusion is also very similar after He-H-He fusion reactions I think the most stable element you can reach is also Iron.

Iron is mostly not energy-dense mostly stable element that rusts Fe-II or Fe-III or Fe-V .... I think those are the non-organic iron compounds with Oxygen / hydroxide ?

So it is probably a very stupid and bad idea to use Iron as the primary energy storage since it will not have the density or the capacity to use long-term.

That is also why Li-Fe-Po batteries exist..... Lithium - Phosphate ? works better with the Iron as some kind of stabilizing agent maybe ?

But this does sound a lot like a scam and not really there yet.

I think we have to have some context here.

Japan has I believe something called "tenured work position".

It is literally a guaranteed job for life. The company can't fire you and usually you will get paid till your retirement whether you work the job decently in your life.

I believe the term is Seisha-In ( https://japan-dev.com/blog/seishain )

I had an entire LIFETIME in ONE night. Dream was super realistic, but it was all anime waifus. From earliest childhood memory till old age and that final darkness basically that last moment woke me up with a start. I never imagined that an entire lifetime in one night dream.

I don't think I ever had such an experience ever again. It was just one time. Never to happen again so far.

In table-tennis / pingpong,

Equipment Junkies.

It is both an insult as well as an addiction/habit.

Amateur and Pro TT players usually have trained from childhood as early as 3 years old tend to have an almost god-like superior ability to learn and relearn in the sport at any age.

But most folks get into TT at an older age around their late-20s.

TT reflexes cannot be gained at the later stages of life. Almost a miracle for an older player to "git gud".

Hence, you will find the older players have the income to buy equipment used by the Top-10 players in the world. Hence "Equipment Junkie".

The number of permutations and combinations in TT equipment is crazy for such a "simple" looking sport.

Real problem is when you buy all this expensive stuff and your game gets WORSE not better. You "lend" your equipment to other players and all of them seem to play better than you with your own equipment.

So you spent a lot of money, and don't want to let anyone touch your equipment ( because it would be embarrassing for them to become "better" players using your stuff while you wallow in misery of not benefitting from your own purchases ).

So EJs tend to have a extremely absurd amount of equipment that they have spent exorbitant prices purchasing and do not want to sell it to others ( again for fear their purchase is fuelling other peoples abilities at their own expense ) but they keep buying the next "Top-10" world TT players latest equipment without even understanding the sport.

It is an endless cycle which continues as more new blood is added to the mix and more EJs end caught up in the craze.

Despite the name, it is rare for the forces to completely balance, and real-world recoilless rifles do recoil noticeably (with varying degrees of severity).

A Vespa cannot take that kind of forces and survive.

What discomfort between Black and Asian ( esp. Indian Asian ?? ) that doesn't exist at all. Chinese / Japanese communities may or may not have issues with Black communities, but Indians have emigrated to Africa and elsewhere without any issues with Black communities.

Not all Asian or Black communities are the same.

A billionaire took the family fortune of billions and reduced it to mere millions over several decades.

It is astonishing how difficult it is for a billion USD to get spent on luxury items would still remain in the hundreds of millions for decades. A billionaire has to leech off the workers and wages and company and society to amass a billion dollars. It is greed on a different scope and scale.

Anyone who hits a billion dollars should get instant prison time. A single island in the middle of nowhere with ALL amenities. Jetski, Yatch, Resort, everything EXCEPT coming back into normal society. NO visitors, NO people. Just prison guards and maintenance staff once a month under supervision and then everyone leaves under surveillance.

And I don't think we will have to worry about running out of islands ... there are more abandoned rocks in the middle of the oceans than there are billionaires on the planet.

That vespa and that cannon do not look survivable if para-dropped. Also an artillery cannon with no-recoil ? How would that even work on a Two-wheeler like a scooter ? Im pretty sure you would have to dismount and re-assemble the cannon on solid ground.

I know from real experience unlike a lot of REEEEEEE .... sorry but not sorry that you like to jump to conclusions.

You mean cutting corners unsafe non-QA untested lithium batteries corrupt CCPPCC shoddy Cha-buDuo (差不多) bullshit ?

Buy an old ICE car. LS-swap or compact-engine swap it.

Modify with Fuel-Cells, CNG/LPG/BioGas and hybrid combustion-electric drivetrains.

Everything should be disconnected and only locally available on the CAN-bus.

All-EV is also an option, but I think that there might not be that many garages to do a full-EV conversion.

We DO NOT , I REPEAT, WE DO NOT have sufficient Cobalt, Nickel, Lithium and other Rare-earth metals to be mined sustainably or even quantitatively. We NEED Giant Asteroids made of all of these elements and very very soon and very very quickly.

At most, ALL Developed Nations, US/Canada/Europe/Australia/NZ/Japan convert ALL vehicles to electric. We will run out of the necessary rare elements and metals and will need a sustainable way to recycle and reuse them with almost 0% negligible losses or we find those asteroids very very quick and pronto mine them.

Instead we need to sustainably grow and recycle local industries worldwide at a village level. Everyone gets all the technology and processes equally and sustain it locally with net-no-negative impact to the environment and their own lives.

Never going to happen while Ultra-Trans-National-Mega-Death-Corps are in charge of everything.

Sony Support SUX.

When you go to Samsung or Moto/Lenovo support, they would give you a loaner phone when yours was in for repairs. Repair centers accepted wherever they were located.

Sony would tell a 1500USD phone customer to F*CK OFF if they asked for a loaner phone during repairs. You have to go to the Sony Mobile repair center to get any kind of help. There are tons of dealers and TV / audio / other Sony repair and none of those have any kind words or help for customers.

Sony Support is DOGSHIT GARBAGE.

You'll find that "student accomodations" are probably the biggest scams in the UK. A lot of Indian-origin residents/citizens esp. the first-generation, they have the same "Indian" mentality. You'll find that the 2nd-gen children of these people are more "British" and less "Indian" mindset.

Case in point, the elderly property owner does less than the "minimum" maintenance, charges crazy rent-prices, re-arranges rooms to fit the maximum occupants, almost regular issues like heating, plumbing, mold, etc completely ignored. While suddenly announcing that rent is increasing by 20% "due to inflation, or needed for maintenance" ... don't pay? get out and your deposit is forfeit. Ever showered in cold water during the entire February in the UK ?

You will find that the 2nd-gen children if they find out the elder is doing this, will immediately rectify the situation and probably takeover if they can. Else you are outta luck and on your bum in the middle of winter which no one will want to be.

Gravitational interaction between the Moon and Earth orbiting each other and the Sun ...

Moon/Earth were formed within the influence of the Sun and the solar system.

Unless a giant comet ( attracted by Sun's larger gravity well?? ) introduced something extra-solar , almost everything is under the influence of the Sun.
