You think being sold to private equity is going to make them remove the shelf locks?

Well, it took private equity over a decade to eventually kill Toys ”R” Us. Two years would be speed running their demise.

And what does this say about the newly confirmed Secretary of Education? The whole point of having such a position at the Cabinet level is to give Congress some control over executive departments.

Just in case this needs to be painfully spelled out: 100% don’t do that

No, by definition a Constitutional Amendment would be part of the Constitution. All branches of government derive their authority from the Constitution. Simply put, the Constitution is above SCOTUS.

The Supreme Court can intercede if the process for ratification is not followed, but as long as the agreed upon process is followed there is literally nothing a judge could do.

Yeah… their team won. The idea that Trump voters will be ousted first is more fantastical than an actual day dream.

They have moved it indoors to the Capitol Rotunda.

Yes, and if it interferes with social, work, or home life it can be more than just mentally taxing.

Previous administrations have used special government funds that are dedicated to the transition and inauguration. This comes with obvious restrictions and ethics requirements since it is taxpayer money.

Trump has decided to not use this money and get donations instead, which allows him and his incoming administration to skirt the normal mandatory reporting, disclosures, and rules.

Pretty sure ants are already sentient, but I like it.

Edit: apparently ant sentience is somewhat hotly debated, and the current understanding of ant consciousness and metacognition is murky.

2/3 then 3/4 of states must ratify

Oregon has entirely mail-in voting, since the 1990s. Good luck getting us to give it up.

There are some smaller Ollama Llama 3.2 models that would fit on 12GB. I’ve run some of the smaller Llama 3.1 models under 10GB on NVIDIA GPUs

I mean, not really, but it’s only $10 so sure.
