And if Trump is elected, some have been saying that he plans to appoint Cannon to the Supreme Court.

Not exactly a new strategy to reward your cronies with lifetime appointments.

a hell of a lot more than the literally nothing that homeopathy brings to the table.

Lies. Homeopathy gets you a well hydrated corpse.

The mere fact that HP is demonstrating they can do this, even if they pinky swear they won't do it for corporate or business clients means that any business worth their salt will avoid buying HP products.

output x+y+z+æ+the proof to P=NP.

I'm sure there's an npm module for that.

I’m certainly not handing out my card over the phone.

Wait till you learn your routing and account numbers are right there, unencrypted, on the check, and there's basically zero protection against unauthorized drafts in the EFT system.

Shit, Comcast has a pretty decent change of charging you for the hardware even if you do return it.

This whole situation is kind of sad. OneDrive is pretty good as a synced file system for Windows machines. It really does just sort of "work".

I wish they'd left it alone.

The government charges no fee to file.

However, until this year, lobbying has prevented the IRS from providing online services to help taxpayers fill out the forms or file directly, instead being required to outsource that and only expose a (wildly insecure btw) API for electronic filing.

Because the US tax code is also complicated as fuck and changes all the time, services like TurboTax exist and charge you to fill out the forms.

Repeat the above for each state you work / have income / own property in.

The FCC has a decent article on what the SAR (specific absorption rate) actually means.

Tldr: France is wrong here, and no one should confuse SAR with ""radiation."

A while back I actually looked into this question.

Former presidents are afforded several things by law, including a salary, a stipend for an assistant, and office space rental, and, of course, Secret Service protection for their lifetime.

However, the protection provided by the USSS is described as a duty to protect the (former) President. It doesn't describe, what that looks like, how many agents are involved, or so on. It does allocate, though, up to $1,000,000 every fiscal year to provide that protection.

Hypothetically, if Trump were convicted and the punishment included imprisonment, more likely than not, the USSS would simply arrange for the individual to be isolated from any threats inside the prison and hand custody over to the prison. This might look like a member of the USSS being stations at the prison, essentially, as a guard, supervisor, monitor, etc.

I suspect the realistic scenario would look like the individual being put in an isolated wing or some sort of maximum-security facility, and the USSS checking in on a weekly or even daily schedule, and, in exchange, the prison would be allocated some portion of that annual $1,000,000.

What do they call the person who graduated at the bottom of their class in med school?

"Doctor."
