Pretty cool electronic music artist from late 90s-early 2000s, mostly in the breakbeat sub-genre.

He would perform live with keyboards and electronic drums.

I was partial to Beat Bionic.

Saw him live in Austin in the 90s…pure gold

I’m old enough to remember the EDC artist named Überzone

several contemporary documents all point to the existence of a guy named something like Joshua

IIRC, there’s really only a single mention of a possible link to someone of this name that was crucified at the supposed time, and that single mention happened at least 50 (maybe 100?) years later, and there’s evidence that this passage was added even later.

So I didn’t think it’s true that there are “several contemporary documents” like you claimed…

You’re getting down voted, but you are mostly correct.

I feel like the amount of ads and/or length is a little excess these days, though.

The thing is, Google isn’t dumb. They’ve user tested this strategy and they know it results in higher revenue.

And the enshitification continues…for those that don’t pay

As a fellow former Texas resident, I can confirm and endorse this statement.

The Texas government can fuck alllll the way off with that…and many other things cough cough women’s rights cough cough

Bruh, when I say something along the lines of “what people usually make in this position for cases of this magnitude”, it literally begs to be compared to “OTHER” cases.

Comparing the lead prosecutors salary to supporting prosecutors salaries means very little in that context.

It’s like me saying “CEOs in this industry tend to make a lot more than this CEO was making” and then you saying " This CEO was making a lot more than his CFO, and his secretary, which is outrageous!"

While I might agree, it’s not exactly pertinent to the point I was making about lead prosecutors on cases of a similar magnitude…

You keep talking about this single case, and I keep talking about lead prosecutors in comparable cases.

Sounds low to comparable cases to me

I wonder how many hours were billed for…

I don’t think you understand what people in his position usually make

It’s apparently kind of hard to find someone that is willing to put up with the threats against their lives for somewhat measly pay. But, yes, hopefully they can 🤞

Do they get the water as hot as traditional tank water heaters?

Do you not answer because you can’t explain?

I think you may have missed the connection to the first amendment.

I assumed you believed in the conspiracy theory “slippery slope”, I was wondering why you think the slope isn’t slippery for the first amendment, but just the second?

Sorry, I said hate speech as an example, but you are correct, hate speech is generally only used as a way to increase sentences of people that commit other hate crimes.

However, there are many instances that speech is limited by the government, and they don’t violate the first amendment.

So, I ask again with the new context:

We currently have limitations on free speech, and yet we still have free speech. And we currently have limitations on the second amendment (you can’t own a nuclear or biological weapon legally).

So how would a couple more limitations completely remove the right to own arms?

Hate speech is currently criminalized, in certain situations. And it hasn’t resulted in the first amendment rights of all citizens being removed.

So why would “well regulat[ing]” purchases of fire arms lead to the removal of 2nd amendment rights?

Lol, I didn’t mind the screen on the 6Pro, but the signal left me wanting more 😅

Yes, the 7 pro was what I had previously, and I agree, other than the S23 Ultra, it had the best implementation of curved screen to date.

For me, the side swiping seems more smooth on the curved screen. I never really noticed missed or over inputs.

While I’m not sure I “prefer” them, I do think it gave the phone a more premium look and feel. There’s something about the side scrolling content scrolling around the curve and off the display, and the device felt…thinner, I guess.

And ever iPhone has a flat screen, so the differentiator on the front of the device was instant.

It’s definitely got downsides though, and I totally get it.

Yeah, glass technology is definitely getting better. But I can never unsee even mirco-scratches, and I don’t tend to use a case, so I just take comfort in a screen protector.

I didn’t hate the liquid application of screen protectors on curved screens either…it was kinda cool to set those up (even though the fumes were kinda bad).
