Same for me.

I setup a focus for do not disturb that runs from 12am to 11:59pm every Day.

Have not seen the popup on 4 weeks since I set it up

And everyone should be happy that pot is TEN TIMES smaller than the pot holders draining the pot with the same goal.

Or all the stupid shit this regime has done, this is the most sane.

They want the department to fight wars. At least they’re being honest.

Except they don’t, because fighting a war requires congressional approval.

No, fighting a war requires only engaging in international armed conflict.

Declaring a war requires Congress, and fighting a war other than in response to an invasion may be illegal under US law if Congress has not exercised its power to declare war, but that doesn't prevent wars from happening it just makes it illegal (though the only actual remedy is impeachment) for the President to wage war without authorization. And, in any case, that’s largely moot because Congress has exercised that power in an open ended (in terms of when and against whom) but limited (in authorized duration of any particular action without subsequent authorization) manner via the War Powers Act, giving every President since Nixon a blank check to start wars with full legal authority and then allow Congress an opportunity to vote to pull support from forces already in combat and hope the enemy already engaged is willing to treat the war as over as the only after-the-fact constraint.

Given today’s new war, I think it’s clear he can start a war whenever he wants

The questions now are what will Americans do about this, and is the American democracy strong enough to withstand it?

> I’m trying to figure out if there’s any justification for using it in a business world outside of: “We don’t want to pay a human.”

You could easily say the same about anytime computers or robots or automation have taken a job away. We’ve been going down this road for decades.

Those industries (computers, robots) created other jobs though. This doesn’t seem to.

It will. There will be people whose skillset is advanced prompting.

The people who work at google, building this

Is there any issue in US society that is NOT caused by “illegals”

It’s incredible how dominant they are!

Cost is a big reason.

My personal reason is that I travel a lot, so I never meet the physical presence within the country requirements.

Also the mpg figures are almost certainly “metric gallons”, 4.5l.

US gallons are 3.8l

UK uses "imperial gallons", which are no more metric than US customary gallons. Expanded to 3 decimals, a UK/imperial gallon is 4.546L, and a US customary gallon is 3.786, and a US gallon is close to 3.8L, than a imperial gallon is to 4.5L.

I’m Australia we always call the 4.5 one a “metric gallon”

While they say it’s about the jobs, it is so very clearly about who is making how much money by propping up coal ( and other industries)

> That said, don't think I'm like the nuclear power guys of the 50s who claimed that electricity would be so abundant that we wouldn't even bother to meter it

Funny you would say that, Australia is about to have free power for all for a few hours each day. Yep, there really is that much

It probably could have been true if regulations were not written that said if your nuclear power is going to be cheaper than other sources you have to spend on safety features until it's not cheaper.

Like the internet today, electricity could have been a flat monthly fee determined by your service line limit (similar to bandwidth) with limits in place for excess use.

Get solar on your roof and then just ignore their stupid rules and monopolies and corruption.

Working great for me. Friends down the road had a 16% increase in price per kWh, already locked in another 8% increase next year.
