You can sue the federal government. Qualified immunity keeps these assholes from facing any consequences at all.

If you are wonder why her and not the senators, Schumer and Gillibrand aren't up for election for several years. Hochul is up for election next year.

The people that are really dumb are the congressional representatives of NYC such as Jeffries. He should be primaried.

What can I say, I'm a performance nerd.

That's a platform dependent change. Overflow is undefined behavior. I'd rather have my code portable so it can run on my Univac 1101.

Fixed

boolean isOdd(int num) {
  if(num == 1)
    return true;
  if(num > 0)
    return isEven(num - 1);
  else
    return isEven(num + 1);
}

boolean isEven(int num) {
  if(num > 0)
    return isOdd(num - 1);
  else
    return isOdd(num + 1);
}

We've been importing beef primarily from Brazil to make up the shortfall. Guess what country got a 50% tariff that has stuck?

Yup, the band is already littered with 6g devices. It'd be a stupid purchase.

But also, 6GHz is somewhat of a useless band for carriers. It's high enough frequency that it'll get absorbed by most things yet low enough frequency that it'll struggle to really carry a whole lot of data.

It's remarkably cheap for a billionaire to do this shit. Bezos bought wapo for $250M

It'd frankly be dead cheap for a billionaire to setup and run a progressive newspaper and/or fund a hundred YouTube progressives and progressive politicians.

Heck, they could setup and operate a general union fund and support union campaigns and union relief funds. They could indefinitely support striking workforce. Doing that just once would completely change how companies interact with unions.

Exactly.

He could have seen another trial, but it'd be with a new jury.

Arbitration is usually faster and cheaper than setting up a brand new trial.

They don't have the votes to pass a law, they do have the votes to stop laws from being passed. Further, the Republicans just killed a rule that allows 30 senators to block all bills by challenging executive decisions. The Republicans killed the rule to roll back a Biden admin decision to allow California stricter emission standards. Every challenge requires a mandatory 10h of debate. There are about 100 years worth of Trump admin decisions Dems can challenge to block the upcoming budget bill.

Will they do that? Probably not, because they rolled over on the CR when they could have easily filibustered it.

And yes, Schumer knows about this, he wrote an open letter warning Republicans not kill the rule.

This is what I hate about the Democrats. They'll happily roll over, yet I guarantee you the Republicans will abuse the hell out of this rule if a Dem president gets into office.

Exactly.

The senate is particularly bad. Schumer is basically MIA and is effectively rolling over because thinks letting republicans get everything they want somehow looks good for him.

Clean code is more expensive than shit. That adds to the problem.
