You never get to court, that’s the point the previous comment is making.

As an individual trying to stand up to them you’re somewhere between being either completely ineffectual or making the situation worse. Having the law on your side doesn’t matter because it’s impossible for you to summon the enforcement of it fast enough to help you, assuming they even would.

A local community response that will mobilize and appear in your neighborhood in seconds is basically the only way to respond quickly with enough force for them to care about.

I’m not sure why you’re taking a oppositional tone. To be clear I’m complaining, not trying to justify it.

Literally no one I work with likes Teams but we keep using it because that’s just what we do. Other options basically don’t exist simply by virtue of being either not Microsoft or not overwhelmingly the market leader.

I love the detail that she put “+ AI” on both sides of the equation so that it’s still technically correct regardless of what the AI stands for.

This was my very first thought as well. The first section of almost every Wikipedia article is already a summary.

Yeah, absolutely. Then they escalate from “innocent mistake” to “accusatory” on a dime.

The Windows version definitely does not open your default browser to download a new installation package which you then need to install yourself.

I’ve also heard people use it who weren’t lying, they were simply incorrect, and conflating those two concepts.

Nobody suspects a thing…

…why does your body wash burn?

I stand corrected

The same priority operations can be done in any order without affecting the result, that’s why they can be same priority and don’t need an explicit order.

6 × 4 ÷ 2 × 3 ÷ 9 evaluates the same regardless of order. Can you provide a counter example?

Sounds like we’re in complete agreement.

What really gets me is when someone crosses the line from “enough to hold it together” all the way through “cohesive item you can take bites from” then dives headlong into “everything sloughs off as the cheese stays connected and drags every other topping with it”, then acts like nothing is wrong and it’s a good thing.

I might be an outlier here, but I absolutely think there is such a thing as too much cheese. My partner and I have regular disagreements about how much should be put on a pizza when we’re making one at home.

Yes, that’s all true, but none of that describes its free-fall trajectory. Drag causes it to deviate from free-fall very slightly, and it definitely wasn’t in free-fall when the pieces were launched from Earth

Spent a moment thinking about this and I think there’s an implied definition for what “on earth” means that we intuitively accept but don’t ever really need to state.

If your projected free-fall trajectory both forward and backward in time intersects with the surface of the earth then you are “on earth”.

Standing on the ground? Intersects twice. Thrown rock? Intersects twice. Person in an airplane? Intersects twice. ISS? No intersection. Incoming impact meteor? One intersection.

They were looking for an excuse to do this anyway.

It seems obvious to be that a company should have additional taxes imposed on it if its has employees that qualify for financial assistance. Put them on the hook for the costs of supporting their employees one way or another.

If that was too much skullduggery for your taste then you really shouldn’t watch Deep Space Nine.

Computer, delete that entire personal log.

We wouldn’t recognize the aliens symbols for 0-9 at first either.
