Has it fixed itself yet? This feels like a sign out and sign in again type problem because it takes time to synchronize everything.

Because the hush money case is the only case that is likely to happen before the election.

The J6 case in DC got screwed by the Supreme Court refusing to take the appeal before waiting for the DC appeals court to rule. It was obvious that the Supreme Court was going to step in and rule, so Jack Smith requested them to just take the case and they declined saying they wanted to let the DC court decide first. Then they took the appeal a month or so later anyways. Now they have held hearings, but even if they rule against Trump, all they have to do is delay until late July and they know that the justice department won’t be able to resume the trial in time.

In the documents case, which is the most fundamentally simple case, Eileen Cannon has ratfucked the whole process to the point that it’s unlikely to start before July. It should be an open and shut case, but she’s entertaining all sorts of crazy legal theories and giving them months to elaborate on them.

I always assume there was a proximity to Mordor thing. So out at the Shire, it was pretty weak and Gandalf could get away with the envelope trick, but when they get into Mordor, an envelope or chain wouldn’t have worked.

That’s not really how taxes work.

It actually doesn’t, because the drive won’t “let” you overwrite the reserve space. That’s why they introduced SSD secure erase, so the firmware knows that you mean to overwrite everything.

Alternatively you could just use full disk encryption and burn the key when you are done.

If there were so many examples of this in the real world, then you wouldn’t need to photoshop one.

I thought that the sovereign citizen thing was all about there being a person and a corporation in the persons name, that are both set up at birth. The all caps thing is magic to them, because that indicates that they are going after the entity not the person.

In case you aren’t joking, brutalist is an architectural style, commonly seen in Washington DC and associated with government buildings. It’s not masochistic, despite brutal being in the name of

I think his point is that The Washington Time is neither The Washington Post nor The New York Times. It’s a low credibility newspaper with a name meant to sound like those two.

I know there was an avalanche of car manufacturers announcing the switch to NACS, but it looks like a lot of them are just giving drivers access to Tesla via a CCS adapter initially.

Has anyone announced a non-Tesla NACS native car yet?

Surface noise (lemmy.world)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by Starbuck@lemmy.world to c/vinyl@lemmy.world

I have an older turntable, Philips GE 212 form the 70’s, that I got from a relative. I’ve had to do some modest repairs so far, and I’m still getting more surface noise than I think I should be hearing. Just an occasional pop every once in a while. My most recent project was replacing the needle I came with (AT DR300e) with a newer cartridge (AT VMN95e). I thought that was going to be then end of it. It does sound very good, a lot of depth, but I still get the pops.

I have a little record brush, and I don’t see any apparent dust. The air is pretty dry because it’s cold here and my heat is running.

I’m worried that there might be something wrong with how the cartridge is connected to the head shell, because it has these flimsy connectors that don’t hold tight anymore after 40+ years. The Philips 212 has a distinctive head shell, and I can’t find replacement wires. I wouldn’t be opposed to replacing the head shell next, if it’s necessary.

Because sometimes even criminals need to buy things that aren’t illegal, I guess. And the legitimate people who have those things don’t want to play games dealing with fake internet money.

If I want to buy a jetski, the place I buy it from isn’t going to take crypto because the people that sell the parts for it don’t take crypto and the people who build it can’t pay for food in crypto.

Crypto is only useful for rug pull scams, money laundering, and black-market transactions. It’s real innovation is undoing centuries of banking regulations so that people can learn the hard way why all those regulations exist.

The transparency is the feature that makes it great. I can buy drugs or whatever, and exchange you buy an NFT from me of equal value. Now when the bank comes and says “where did this >$15k transaction come from?” I can point to the blockchain and say that I sold my fancy monkey pic.

This has been a thing in the physical art world for a while, https://complyadvantage.com/insights/art-money-laundering/, this just made it easier.

Yeah, these indictments are absolutely devastating to Hunter Biden’s presidential campaign.
