You can try cleaning around the button. Make sure it isn’t being triggered by some crusty sweat/grime. You could also change the behavior of your laptop, in the windows power settings you can change what that button does or how the laptop reacts when being closed. If both are set to do nothing, you would have to specifically turn off/sleep your computer but wouldn’t get any false sleep.

They don’t like him as a politician anymore, but can’t admit that he committed crimes because they supported him doing so.

Can someone describe a “proper” rejection for patient care?

A silly scene that cheapens the whole movie. Not because it uses the book in an inappropriate way, but because that is cringe as shit.

Way to go everyone, we kept wages suppressed and still managed to generate more profits off of their labor! Hooray!

According to the FBI, around 51% of murders in 2021 were solved. So this is just a bit lower than the federal numbers. The number doesn’t shock me, I think solving a murder is very hard and technology can only offer so much more info. Proving murder beyond a doubt is also very difficult, like OJ. We all know he killed his ex wife and her boyfriend, but prosecutors couldn’t prove he did it within the court context. An “unsolved” murder that has a solution.

America “Most of us can’t afford to live”

Biden Admin “Best we can do is letting you know how unaffordable rent and food is in an accurate way”

Based on previous experience, checks and balances is not a thing for the Supreme Court. The most powerful people in the country and they aren’t even elected.

Title should say Portal Prelude, Portal with RTX has been out for a year or so.

When you are poor, getting money from the government comes with many rules and restrictions. When you are a poor company, getting money from the government comes with zero rules and restrictions.

Texas got the PR for having funded therapy for their prisoners without actually having to help people. The for-profit prison got to make a ton of extra money for their c suite staff and it’s totally fine because they said so.

Planting trees, what is this 1970? House Republicans need to get their head out of their asses, do some proper governing and get the US off of gas and oil. There are still millions of reasons to use petroleum and that transition will be a long one. But the easy ones already exist, replace power plants and cars with electric alternatives. Nuclear, Solar, Wind, Hydro are all mature technologies that are real today and can replace a huge amount of everyday oil.

Depress the wages of the working class for the last 50 years. Suck your wealthy donors dry. Wonder why nobody has money to support your campaign.

Hard to sell the conservative agenda in a state that is pro-LGBTQ and pro-choice when those are the pillars of the current GOP.

People want a decent paying job with decent healthcare and a way to afford the cost of living. None of those things are compatible with conservative values.

It is fixed, went from blurry mess to clear photo.

During their hearing “I am a changed person. I would never do something like this again”

A year later “I don’t regret what I did, I would do it again, we did nothing wrong, Trump 2024”

I appreciate the reply but I just don’t see why states need different laws. The time period cited for the need was 250 years ago. I guess that is the conservative modus operandi.

I’m just not convinced that Mississippi having different, worse, healthcare laws is better for the people who live there. Mississippi is choosing to shit their pants, but as a country we all share the smell. Conservatives want to sit in their soiled pants, or the smell, and the rest of us will are horrified.

I never understood states rights and how separating our country into 50 different little countries is a good thing. It puts states at odds and forces the US Judicial system into having to decide. Putting the law deciding back into the hands of the federal government.

Isn’t the whole point that if someone doesn’t agree with the laws of the state they reside they can go to a state that does? It would seem needing to find out who gets an abortion or gender-affirming outside of your state is nobody’s worry. Those people are doing the exact thing conservatives want.

Does Mississippi plan on charging people in other states of committing a crime? Is it to make sure a Mississippi resident doesn’t cross a state border? If so, why? What intentions would the state of Mississippi have with this info if not to prosecute?

The best thing about Windows is that if there is something you want to do, either there is a detailed guide online for the specific issue or someone went a step further and created a simple tool to accomplish that task. Windows is stable/reliable/accessible.

To run Linux it would need to be just as easy to install, be as compatible with games as Windows, and not have to involve deep dives into Linux user forums to accomplish basic stuff.

With the main intention of Linux, outside of just not supporting Apple or Microsoft, is to be able to customize your OS experience. I don’t have time/patience/desire to do that. I want my computer to be there ready to open a game launcher and launch that game without issue. That is true about Windows 99.8% of the time, I have not had that same experience with Linux.

The truth is that this overexposure on the internet hasn’t caused much more harm than before social media. Most people, not all, but a majority have zero bad intentions. So sharing details about yourself to a mass audience is screaming in the void. Nobody cared about your life before it was on the internet, nobody cares now. Social media companies selling your data is for a shitty reason but not an unethical one. They just want to sell you stuff and they are salesmen that know everything about you.

On the other side, people who want to do bad things can and will regardless of details about someone on the internet. Stranger danger is a fallacy and the person who can/might victimize you is someone you already know. Sure, maybe it saves time, but it doesn’t really change victimization. People can stalk someone in real life, can steal their mail, can social engineer the people around their victim, it’s just a bit easier when a lot of it can be done by befriending someone on social media.

Who represents the “real” conservatives/Republicans? It would seem any state with Republican control is aiming for similar anti-immigration policies. If everyone is doing it, then it becomes the standard. If nobody from the party can speak out against it, it becomes the standard. When the conservative majority Supreme Court instills conservative policy despite public opposition, it becomes the standard.

How would shipping immigrants across state borders unannounced ever be a way to help people? And it has been many buses, are we forgetting the last few years of Florida sending people to progressive states? It might be publicity stunts, but hundreds of people getting shipped around the country based on false information and left sitting out to dry only says “conservatives think immigrants are less than human and can be shipped around like cattle”
