Great now! I'm in jail!

I'm pretty sure the supreme court ruling was carefully worded to not require them to bring him back, but 'fascilitate' his return, which gave them enough wiggle room to say they wouldn't stop his return, so they were in conpliance. It was a lower court tgat required his return, the supreme court ruling overrode that.

Sausage-inna-bun. CMOT Dibbler would be proud, no one else would.

Punctuation is important? (maybe)
Punctuation is. Important! (certainly)
Punctuation: is important. (note to self)
Punctuation is "import ant" (what?)

What the law says, and what gets enforced are, unfirtunately, sometimes very different things. Sometimes that works in your favor, sometimes it doesn't.

Yes. We normally count in 'base 10', which means each digit can go from 0 to 9 as we count up, then the digit to its left increases by one. The rightmost position is the units, the next the tens (because we use base 10), the next hundreds (or 10 times 10), and so on, with each position worth 10 times the one to its right. So the number 12 means you have 2 units plus 1 ten. 123 means 3 units, 2 tens, and 1 hundred.

Binary is 'base 2', so as we count up each digit can only go from 0 to 1 before incrementing the position to its left, and each position is worth 2 times the one to its right. So 1 still means one, but 10 is 0 units plus 1 two, and 100 is 0 units, 0 tens and 1 four, totalling 4.

They're willing to disregard the evidence of their own senses if it doesn't agree with their conspiracies. Mearly believing multiple, contradictory, theories would be as easy as breathing. They're all true, we just need Q to drop the next info dump that explains how. Trust the plan etc...

That said, it would be quite entertaining to watch, so go for it, what's the worst that could happen...

The issue is that they're doing what they can to make those orders legal. They're not there yet, they'll hopefully hit plenty of resistance before they get there, and they're not exactly renowned for being competent, but they're working on it.

Also, that shop that sells completely random stuff (chandeliers, dolls, weird statues, horrible carpets and so much more junk), never seen it open but have been there for like at least 30 years.

We had one of those. It turns out it was owned by a rental agent, and he just used it to store the random stuff he'd use to furnish appartments with to rent out.

I couldn't agree more. Occasionally I'll use an appimage where something is not packaged for my distro version and I only need it temporarily.

Maybe I'm just long in the tooth, but linux used to be a simple, quite elegant system, with different distros providing different focuses, whether they were trying to be windows clones, something that a business could bank on being there in ten years, or something for those who like to tinker. The common theme throughout was 'the unix way', each individual tool was simple, did one job, and did it well. Now we seem to be moving to a much more homogenous ecosystem of distros with tooling that tries to be everything all at once, and often, not very well.

There's nothing on that page that says the speed limit is the 85% percentile of the traffic flow. It states quite clearly that 'Statutory speed limits are established by State legislatures for specific types of roads (e.g., Interstates, rural highways, urban streets) and can vary from State to State. They are enforceable by law and are applicable even if the speed limit sign is not posted' and 'Posted speed limits (sometimes called regulatory speed limits) are those that are sign-posted along the road and are enforceable by law.'

Those speed limits are initially set based on the design speed of the road, then later they can be assessed and possibly modified based on a number of factors including the 85% percentile you referenced, however' 'The 85th percentile speed is not the only factor practitioners evaluate when determining an appropriate speed limit; they complete engineering speed studies and often utilize supporting tools like USLIMITS2.'

Critically though, none of this means you can just drive at the prevailing speed of the traffic if it's above the statutory or posted limit and not be considered to be speeding. The 85% percentile may be used to set the speed limit, but when it's set, it's the law.

100 myths. Perfect.
