The Ohio General Assembly has a long history of ignoring the Supreme Court. See the DeRolph decisions.

People have rightly said that their executives are overpaid. However it's unclear what revenue streams they have. In terms of user services they sell a VPN. I think that's about it. That's not going to cut it even if they do lay off tons of people.

Browsers are complicated pieces of software and there needs to be a lot of money behind them if they're going to succeed.

Elvis Costello - just about anything off of Goodbye Cruel World. Even he admits that it's a terrible album.

I'm probably leaving the bar. But to answer your question...

Radio, Radio by Elvis Costello.

Look, your posting history says you're a reasonable person, and I respect that about you.

We're not talking people next door protesting some government action. We're not event talking about people doing something unpopular. We're talking about people who don't have the common courtesy to be a good neighbor. It's "I will do whatever the fuck I want whenever the fuck I want and if I'm bothering other people in my neighborhood then fuck them because no one tells me what to do." I live in an area where I regularly have to deal with people rolling coal and revving their engines because they want people to know the rules don't apply to them and no one is going to tell them what to do.

The old rule was "you right to swing your fist ends at my nose." After COVID it seems like the rule is "I'll swing my fist wherever the hell I want, and you had better get out of my way." The local PD has been quiet quitting ever since then unless they can harass some minorities.

The amendment process is basically dead because the politicians realized that it's much easier to just get a majority of the Supreme Court to say what you want it to say.

My recollection is that Wyoming has as many people as the northern half of Manhattan.

This is extremely not a thing that police should be dealing with. If someone really has "porn" at school it can be dealt with at school. Plus it's not illegal for minors to possess porn. There are so many things wrong with this.

The day I finally had a positive net worth, I was really, really happy.

I posted on social media that I finally had nothing. So to all the people who think I had it so easy and my generation (elder millennial) didn't know what hard work was...I finally had nothing after being alive for 30ish years.

This is true. My little brother watched "The Lion King" every day after school for a few months.

If you want a really in-depth description, this article will give it to you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_congestion_control

Your torrenting might not be using TCP, but the basic idea is the same.

TL;DR: the router uses some math and so forth to tell both computers to slow down to the point that it's not overloaded.
