I'm not sure what that has to do with my comment.

I wonder who is writing those tweets, because there's no universe where Trump knows what ignominious means.

It's really astounding just how fucking retarded the conservative justices are.

I don't know where they found it, but the WISP who ran Ethernet from the antenna to the router in my mom's house used white jackets for every wire pair.

Tabasco sauce is pretty weak, though.

A smart outlet (and running home assistant) will solve that problem.

No, the real reason is it saves a few pennies per phone. They can already spy on us through the internal mic.

But none of that is in the book from what I remember. The 0th law of robotics wasn't introduced until much later in the robots series.

It's the movie I hate the most. For one, the problem robot looked exactly like its creator. Also, don't they broach the topic of the 0th law, which isn't introduced until way later?

That's a weird stance to take since the discussion was about file permissions, and there are absolutely ways around Windows protecting system files just like there are ways around Linux doing the same thing.

There are many reasons to criticize Microsoft, but making it difficult for users to fuck up system files isn't one of them. Most users are of the "it's a box filled with magic smoke" variety, and they need to be protected from themselves.

Almost all lawyers will do this for this type of case, but you might be able to get away with paying a flat fee for them to send a strongly worded letter.

But, since most contractors are crooks, you'll probably have to go to court. It really depends on your contract, though. You might have to go to arbitration, which is where getting a 3rd party inspection can be a life saver.

My inlaws had a garage built to house their RV and boat, and the contractor never once inspected his subcontractors' work. They had it inspected, and it took the inspector 6 hours to take pictures of everything that was wrong. The report was like 120 pages long. They refused to pay the rest they owed him (they had already paid $90k), and he sued them for it.

They showed up in court with their contract, and the judge told him to fuck off, because the contract said they had to arbitrate before going to court.

Unfortunately, the contractor won the war of attrition, and they ended up with an unfinished piece of shit garage because they gave up fighting.
