How quaint!
No, you swear an oath to answer honestly during the jury selection process. The lawyers will ask if you have any moral or ethical concerns that would prevent you from convicting the accused - ie you would be willing to engage in jury nullification. If you say no, but you actually do intend to nullify, then you lied under oath and could be found guilty of perjury at that point.
Sure, whatever, but lying under oath during the jury selection process is a crime called perjury. Morale correctness aside, I'm just trying to keep folks out of jail my dude.
No, they usually ask something like "Do you have any personal beliefs that would prevent you from returning a guilty verdict involved with this type of crime?" - seriously yall, this shit isn't hard to look up and is usually posted right alongside explanations for what jury nullification is. Frankly, I doubt anyone reading this is rich enough to pull the "you didn't specifically ask about jury nullification therefore I technically did not commit perjury"-card.
Now you're asking them to commit perjury - which is also bad. (In case anyone reads this and decides to try their best poker face)
I think what [email protected] is getting at is that Typst also a paid web app developed by a for-profit company. This same company is who manages the github repo for the Typst language compiler. They seem to take issue that this post is promoting a partially open-source project for a for-profit company.
For the same reason painters display their canvases and not their brushes.
Most probably, yes. A lot of these are fundamental concepts of most modern object-oriented languages that I am familiar with. It may be worth refreshing your basic programming skills/concepts with a book you like. There are plenty available online for free in C#, Java, C++, Go, etc.
If you have to ask someone else, then you probably won't finish, and if you do, it will suck. Read some recently published papers, see what looks interesting to you, then check out the "future research" section that many of them will have.
Thanks man! I appreciate the advice and will absolutely keep it in mind. I'm happy to know that your life is moving in a good direction too. It helps remind me that it is possible and that I'm not alone. Happy new year!
Weirdly same boat. Known the girl for about 2 years, but just started dating about a month ago. I love her so much! Prior to her, no 3rd dates in about 10 years.
The big difference is that I live in my mom's basement and she is the hoarder, and her stuff invaded my space. I started therapy and have begun making plans to be moved out by February, hopefully in an apartment much closer to work to boot! In the meantime, almost all of her stuff is out of my current bedroom and I've moved furniture around to be more functional for me.
I'll also throw out going back on OCD meds, and smoking pot for the first time in my 29 years of living to manage panic attacks. Highly effective, and basically no side effects.
Wrong community, but it is a 2002 ford explorer that went through 3 transmissions, multiple engine problems, poor gas mileage, suspension issues, steering alignment issues, taillight bulbs that burn out after 6 months, a busted headlight, a window that won't roll down, at least 2 blown speakers, a rear view mirror that won't stay in place, oil leaks, and a broken seat belt sensor that ensured that the dinging reminder never stopped.

Great film - I think the world would benefit from more people watching it. But it is so depressing, I don't think it is a film everyone should watch.
2002 ford explorer. You don't see many 20 year old cars on the road at all, but that thing was already a rare sight by 2012 when I ignorantly bought mine.
After owning that pile of scrap for 2 or 3 years, when the 2nd transmission gave way and the front left suspension just sorta collapsed in on itself, I was left surprised that any of those cars survived beyond 2003.

Cant speak to OP, but this was lovely and maybe helped me with some stuff. Thank you!
For anyone in the area of Unicoi, TN, there is a group meeting at the high school tomorrow morning to help clean debris and distribute supplies.
Depends on the context. I have day-ta, you have dah-ta. They use dah-ta, and their conclusions are supported by the day-ta. That day-tabase holds lots of day-ta, and that dah-ta sent across the network.
Yeah, except my experience, it was in a team speak server, smoking cigarettes over a game of unreal or quake 3 instead of a 3" diameter cigar over a game of chess. Spiritually and effectively the same as in those old biographies though.
For reference, this was at a midsized state university in the south in the early 2010s

Acoustic Guitarists on the Places That Made Them
[Premier Guitar]
"Our columnist asks his favorite acoustic players how their hometowns, new and old, have changed the music they make.
As musicians, we tend to put most of our mental energy into the “next thing”: that next song, show, tour, or piece of gear. The beauty of music-making is that there is always somewhere new to go, but it’s also important to remember that we all came from somewhere. In this column, I connect with some excellent acoustic players about the places that shaped their playing and their craft, where they started and where their music has taken them."

I hope that Colin isn't selling off or stepping away from the channel. He has produced great content for years. His pragmatic approach to gear selection and maintenance combined with simple and easy-to-understand explanations made him a valuable asset to the community. I know that I've learned a lot about how my gear works and how to best select and modifier gear to get the effect that I want thanks directly to CSGuitars.
Five Watt World - Great Guitars...That Suck to Own
Roku TV bricked until agreeing to new terms of service
See title - very frustrating. There is no way to continue to use the TV without agreeing to the terms. I couldn't use different inputs, or even go to settings from the home screen and disconnect from the internet to disable their services. If I don't agree to their terms, then I don't get access to their new products. That sucks, but fine - I don't use their services except for the TV itself, and honestly, I'd rather by a dumb TV with a streaming box anyway, but I can't find those anymore.
Anyway, the new terms are about waiving your right to a class action lawsuit. It's weird to me because I'd never considered filing a class action lawsuit against Roku until this. They shouldn't be able to hold my physical device hostage until I agree to new terms that I didn't agree at the time of purchase or initial setup.
I wish Roku TVs weren't cheap walmart brand sh*t. Someone with some actual money might sue them and sort this out...

2024 Wayne Henderson Music Festival to be the last
The Wayne Henderson Music Festival, a popular performance and competition event in southwestern Virginia, has announced that this year's will be the last.
The Henderson music festival jump-started many careers and encouraged many players to go beyond their current abilities. This is a major loss for bluegrass & country guitarists, and the greater music community across the Appalachian mountains.
Picks & other plectrum
Let's share about our favorite guitar picks.
Jazz III's are a popular favorite in my area, although I've almost always bought the cheapo Fender mediums and heavys. My dad played these powdergripped Dunlap tortexes for years, but they always felt so weird and out of place to me. I have a professional musician friend who swears by BlueChip flat picks. I'll defer to the community towards fingerpicks, felt picks, and sixpence coins.

How does your school/university teach it? What have been the pros and cons of that choice?
Obviously, teaching students logical and foundational concepts is the most important part, but a student's first programming language does color their internalization of the concepts and how they approach solving different problems. For example, OOP is really hard to grasp coming from a functional background. Learning how to manage memory efficiently and use appropriate data types is really hard coming from an interpreted language like Python or Javascript. What have you and your peers decided works best for you and your students?

Project Ideas For Selection Statements
Hey all, I want to revamp some of my assignments this coming semester. One of the first projects I always start with is something to get some hands-on experience with conditional logic. However, these projects are getting pretty stale at this point. So, I'm turning to this community for some fresh ideas.
Keep in mind, these assignments are for brand-new programmers within the first 2-4 weeks of the course. At this point, they won't have really been taught loops, functions, collections, etc., beyond that they exist. They really just know basic syntax, variable types, and terminal input and output. This is where they will practice working with boolean expressions and selection statements like if-else, if-else if-else, and switch.
Here's what I've been doing for some reference:
Request for Couch Co-Op Games on Switch
I'm looking for something new to play with my 7yo son. Mario games are a great amount of fun, but I'm feeling pretty burnt out and am looking to expand things a little bit. We are looking for cooperative games like Pikmin 3, Cuphead, and Hyrule Warriors rather than competitive-only games like Super Smash Brothers and Mario Kart. We appreciate whatever help you all can offer, so thanks in advance!
