  • That’s the insidious part. People advocating for Biden to go on a crime spree are assuming that the Supreme Court is aiming to be consistent, and apply this ruling fairly to both parties. They’ve INTENTIONALLY left it unspecified what counts as an “official” act, so that any question that comes up just goes right back to them, and they can rule however they see fit. Also, people are assuming the Court won’t just directly contradict their own rulings, the moment it’s convenient. This entire thing just shows that the Court can and will give itself final say on any questions of law or policy, I.E. anything anyone in the government does. This doesn’t make the President a king, it makes the Court the king.


  • Absolutely. Like you say, it just doesn’t happen in large streams, and the threshold is probably a lot larger than you think, since on average maybe 10% of viewers actually participate in chat. The dynamic starts shifting at around 1,000 simultaneous viewers, in my experience, between chat being readable and interactable, and being just spam. That’s still plenty big enough to qualify for partner, and even make a living off of streaming alone.




  • Little of both.

    He’s got a healthy love for video games, and there’s certainly plenty of overlap in favorite titles (Celeste, Mario Odyssey, Pokemon, Stardew Valley, Minecraft, Link’s Awakening). But there’s also games he enjoys that I don’t (Bloons TD, Gemcraft, Mario + Rabbids, Mario Maker) and games I enjoy that he doesn’t (Hollow Knight, Breath of the Wild, Factorio, Satisfactory).

    We also watch a handful of different animes/cartoons/shows together (with some episodes or scenes excepted). We’ve done Avatar: The Last Airbender, Futurama, Sword Art Online, Death Note, Animaniacs, and we’re currently working through The Owl House and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

    On top of that, he’s got hobbies I’m not into. He loves drawing and takes Karate classes. We play D&D together as a family, but it’s not really my thing otherwise. As it happens, these are all interests he shares with his mother.



  • Shit shit shit, I just remembered I haven’t attended English class all semester.

    Shit shit shit, I can’t remember my locker combination, and I can’t find the orientation sheet that has it, also I can’t find my class schedule, I have no idea what class I’m supposed to be in right now.

    Plus a few other variations. All High School. I dunno why the focus on High School, I’m 34. I get one of these once or twice a month.








  • An additionap note on what a certificate is, to supplement everyone here who’ve desceibe howbthat’s the missing piece:

    A certificate’s first main purpose is being the vehicle vy which the public key is distributed, but additionally it contains information ABOUT the owner. Then the whole thing is digitally signed with the private key (and also a trusted CA’s private key), so that a receiver can validate the authenticity of the cert with the public key.

    The “info” in the cert can theoretically be anything, but the most important one is the domain. Your browser knows that visiting google.com is secure because it checks the cert it gets from google.com to see if it states that it owns the google.com domain, and then we trust the root CAs around the world to make clients prove they own that domain, before issung a cert for it.





  • Main difference there being that switching cities means probably switching ISPs. You can absolutely carry over your IP address when you move between the same provider, if that’s part of your service plan, and that may well happen with some ISPs even without it being part of your plan. There just isn’t really much of a need for people to carry a static IP, except for some businesses, and I’d say the main reason is that people don’t visit websites by memorizing and typing in an IP. They do memorize and type in phone numbers.
