And I, for one, welcome our new Neuralink overlords.

Another way of putting it is justifying your job because you have a mature product.

I hate the idea of people not understanding the idea that something has reached a point of maturity. The reason there aren't a lot of changes to something is because it's a mature product and no further changes are needed. Developers then have to continue to justify their jobs and create stupid unneeded changes to continue sales. The new medium is renting software instead of owning it. For my own use, I've kept installation disks and ISO images for commercial software for just such a reason.

Kind of leading in this direction, where exactly can I find the option to buy commercial updates to my Windows 10 EE installs, all commercial licenses? I use purchased multi-activation product keys bought directly from Microsoft and I can't seem to find an avenue to buy them.

Uhm, no. You're not understanding the Alien Enemies Act, which has stood the test of time since 1798. The predominant quest has been if this is an applicable use of the law. If Xi comes in and plants a bunch of Chinese agents, do we not have the right to export them with haste, or do we need to sit around waiting for years for them to go through due process?

I've seen people pull forward so people in the back seat can use an ATM. I've also seen people hop out of the far seat and use them. The latter is more difficult, but both are doable by blind people, so this falls into a candidate for the Ig Nobel Prize.

He was pretty upset because he could now afford to get health insurance.

At $30,000,000, unless it's a private institution bringing to the surface, why bother bringing it to the surface in the first place? It's sunk, no boats are hitting it. Let it become a reef. Some archeologist can have a look-see 1000 years from now and see how opulent the wealthy lived.

The law he was trying to leverage doesn't require due process. At this point, it is unclear if he'll be able to use it as it's currently tied up in court. If the courts rule in his favor, they'll be on express lane out of the country. Sell your house now before housing becomes affordable again because of all of the deportations freeing up those houses.

Better idea: tackle it from both ends. Deport people here illegally and arrest and jail the people who hire them. Regarding the immigration angle, we already have the 2nd most open immigration in the world, second only to New Zealand. 1 million people legally immigrate to the US every year. Yeah, I bet you didn't know that it's harder to immigrate to Canada and Australia than to the US. Notably, the four countries with the most open immigration policies, these four countries, are all former British colonies.

All of this is true, but do keep in mind that such jammers are actually quite illegal in the US.

Legally, they actually can't force you to resign, so they can make them fire you. I'm not sure how that plays out in court after a lawsuit, though.

The recession started years ago. Those with significant stock portfolios haven't felt it as earnings went up, but the rest of us have watched our salaries not keep up with inflation and our jobs have gotten cut. It hasn't shown up as a recession in the conventional sense because of the stock portfolio growth. This started when the Biden administration started printing money. You can see the bump downwards after the huge bill that was passed at the beginning of his administration. On the other side, Trump is going to make things worse with his "Big, Beautiful Bill" that cuts essential services so Billionaires can.... Hell, I can't even figure out what they'd do with the money that they haven't already done.

Anybody else see this statement as being complete BS?

The Israelis certainly seem to be jamming smoke signal communications with the fires they're setting in Tehran.
