Welcome to a core aspect of the lawsuits so far and under whose legal authority contracts can be canceled.

It’s not a liability issue, it’s about details of under what legal authority based on job roles things can happen, and who is or isn’t around to exercise those authorities.

A contracting officer doesn’t spring from the head of Zeus fully grown and convered in the armor of niche personal liability insurance. They are legally required to take specific trainings before they can have signing authority. That’s the law… Today at least. And the GOP has struggled with it because thinking and details are hard for them.

Sure, I’m just a lot more pessimistic about how bad things get between now and 8 years from now.

It’ll take until 2034. Don’t use her up early.

A friend is smoking a brisket this weekend 🤤

To some degree, it slows them down. The top layer of management that has day to day authority for things like approving accounts for system access, having signing authority for anything, knowing how to find the things they want to kill, etc.

Appointees can often legally do these things as well, but for many things involving money, it takes extra steps that appointees don’t usually do to avoid liability.

The most terrifying thing about this moment in time is that simply being the victim of something shitty means that predators will descend upon your weakened body and fling it about for political points until nothing is left in your wrinked husk but shame and the empty hole of fake opportunities to further whore yourself out just a liiiiiiiitle more for one more pay day, one more event, one more podcast, one more YT video, one more hot take, one more anything before the news cycle finally slam dunks you into the trash forever.

Oh, there’s a solid dozen other companies that will do the same.

Capers are pickled, so they bring the acid, along with the tomato sauce. The rest is major umami punch, but you go veeeery sparingly.

🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌

Love them figs!

I get this. If I wasn’t already familiar and comfortable with OSX, I wouldn’t have been nearly as confident switching over and knowing how to tweak things.

Both NYC and LA have good ramen places. Doesn’t mean I’m only a hurry to get on the 405 in a new car when I know the MTA map like the back of my hand.

The underrated combos is where the gains are.

Anchovies with olives and capers.

We all know pineapple and Canadian bacon (can also be Spam).

Pepperoni and jalapeños.

Blue cheese, fig, and caramelized onion.

Pesto as the sauce under the cheese and fresh or sun dried tomatoes on top.

We can be friends.

If you don’t eat cows first, a cow will kill and eat you and everyone you love.

Oh, did they hang this on the front door of the White House this week?

Zebra is delicious and is absolutely the counterfactual to show that horses would be a well.

But Zebras as dicks, so eat them first.

Zebra is the solution.

Zebra are assholes. They can’t be trained or domesticated. Their meat is delicious, and I delight in eating it. I get why lions love them.

But I would sooner spend $20K at the vet on a horse than eat one.

People in places where there’s a lot of crocs around generally don’t like to eat them because there’s a non-zero chance that you’re eating a croc that ate someone you know. Farmed Crocs are the workaround, but especially across rural southern Africa, there’s as much stigma with croc meat as Americans with horse.

I mean, there’s about 387 million Nollywood and Ghannywood movies set in villages or small towns.

The South African series Trackers is awesome, and has some rural settings. But it’s highly produced drama.

Some episodes of Ultimate Braii Master or Taste of South Africa show less rural settings.

There’s a season of 90 Day Fiance with Baby Girl Lisa and Usman that shows pretty accurate village life.

Summer. Scorching hot is my happy place.

Doing a dual boot for Windows and Linux Mint is shockingly easy. Mint will do the work for you from the install USB. I think I did that about a year ago, and haven’t been back over to Windows in months. 9/10, would recommended.

At this point, troubleshooting, when/if needed, can start with ChatGPT for very basic stuff, then the Linux Mint forum if you happen to come upon a real head scratcher. That’s most likely to come from your computer having some obscure or super new component that doesn’t have quite the right drivers yet. Which isn’t a common experience anyway.
