Yes, and they’ve also started it with Harris.

Good news (everyone)!

He was later retconned into having a long, happy life with alternate Frye.

With perks like that who needs donors and TV ad time? This isn’t the 80s. Elections aren’t won on television ads.

No, but they are still very much won with money. Advertising of various forms (TV, radio, Internet, billboards, yard signs, T-shirts, the list goes on), local outreach, field offices, door to door campaigners, booths at events, social media, and countless more. All of it is driven by money.

Citizens United fucked every election since. It exclusively dealt with campaign finance.

While I agree with you about swing voters, there is a very large number of potential non-voters, sometimes known as the enthusiasm gap. People that believe that both options are the same, or that neither will affect their lives very much. There’s also the ones that think Trump can’t get re-elected, which of course is part of how he got there in the first place.

There aren’t a lot of people excited to vote Biden. But we’ll do it anyway, because we really don’t want to see more Trump. If I didn’t see Trump as a threat to democracy itself, I could understand people not voting at all.

He’s actually been quite reserved on the issue. While he’s acknowledged it as a risk, he had not reached this point until now.

The incumbent advantage really doesn’t apply if it’s not who was elected in the first place. The only real advantage would be having a (short) record to run on. Even that assumes that (1) she would have one worth promoting, and (2) that people would care.

The bigger concern is that Harris really, REALLY is not popular. It would take a long time to convince people otherwise, if it could even be done. Hillary spent decades trying to build her image, including a full election cycle in earnest, and failed so miserably that we ended up with Trump.

Cutting the power for 30 seconds drains capacitors. The most likely culprit is in the PSU, but I’ve also seen it be the motherboard or GPU.

Desktop PSUs have been pretty standardized for 25 years. The odds are pretty good that you still have an old one, or know someone that you could borrow from long enough to test.

Failing that, just get one from a place with a decent return policy. I like Micro Center, if you’re near one of those.

Most people are on multiple platforms. Find them now, while you still can. Save whatever contact info you can for them. You don’t know when you’ll need it, nor why.

Well yeah, where else would you eat salad? The floor? Everyone knows that’s where burgers are served.

It says EV battery (because politics), rather than a traditional 12v car battery. The latter is usually lead acid, while the former is usually lithium-ion (LiFePO4 or Li-NMC)

Yup, and in a very public way. As I said, this has nothing to do with Trump’s morals or anything. It’s about Epstein’s risk tolerance.

And it’s statements like that (and many more) which would make Epstein unwilling to take the risk.

It’s not really about Trump; it’s about Epstein.

You’re focusing on the wrong guy. Do you think Epstein would’ve taken the risk?

If we’re being honest, Trump probably wasn’t a patron. Not because of his morals or anything, but because he would’ve been excluded.

Epstein knew that what he was doing needed to be kept quiet. Trump has always been the loudest person in any room, making him a massive liability.

It’s unlikely that Epstein would’ve told him anything.

Adding to this, 538 gave Trump a higher probability than most pundits, and were mocked (pre-election) for doing so

While true, it’s a bit more nuanced than that. They can absolutely have requirements in the contract that will put you on site. For instance, they can have you being the one to set up the conference room for the morning meeting. They can also categorically say that their VPN access is only for FTEs.

But as an independent business negotiating a contract, you just haggle these terms away. It’s still a good idea to document expectations, including work hours and locations.

Simply having an LLC isn’t enough- it’s the separation of personal and business that enables protection. Until you have other employees, this is really hard to do/show.

If you’re going to go this route, you should probably talk to an attorney anyway.

There are legal hurdles to raising rates based on this data. The simple and obvious solution is to set the starting price as the worst-case driver scenario, then discount down from that.

It’s the exact same thing, but worded different.

The CEO is chosen by the board, which is chosen by the shareholders. The shareholders have the ultimate power, if they can unite on a goal/decision. Overwhelmingly, the only thing they can agree on is that they want to make the most money. They often can’t even agree on how to go about that.

So, the board won’t fire him because the shareholders won’t force it. The shareholders won’t force it because they want the most money, and musk as CEO seems to be the best path, or at least not a problematic one.

As for how that can be, it gets into how absurd Tesla stock is in the first place. There was a period where Tesla’s market cap (total value of all shares) was higher than the entire rest of the auto industry combined. This was despite having no feasible path towards that level of production, and even growth in general wasn’t looking too hot.

It’s also at an age when your libido is essentially unlimited. Were the opportunity to present itself, these people could adequately perform for 15 different partners in a row.

Desensitization takes time. By the time it sets in, most people are past the age of unlimited libido. There are also different forms of sensitivity (and thus, desensitization). OP referred to physical, but mental seems to be a more common issue.
