I don’t think the drive actually failed. The article said that the files disappeared from the drive one-by-one, which sounds like a firmware bug to me.

You could theoretically have the same problem due to a buggy RAID controller or driver.

Jack Smith lured Trump into committing crimes 3+ years ago, in what legal experts are calling “1D checkers.”

I seriously doubt that Congress can create a law that infringes on the First Amendment and simultaneously strip all federal courts of their jurisdiction to review that law.

If that were the case, then simple majorities in Congress and a Presidential signature would be enough to effectively override the Constitution. That’s far easier than an amendment.

For context:

Judicial review exists because it makes sense. The framers decided to bind the government with a Constitution, but never explicitly wrote up an enforcement mechanism. The judiciary already interprets laws, so they get to be the enforcement mechanism by default.

The framers also decided to write “during good behavior” in Article III, but never defined what that means. Congress writes laws, so it’s logical to me that Congress gets to define what “good behavior” entails.

Judicial review isn’t in the Constitution either.

Wouldn’t she be replaced quickly, resulting in a Democratic majority and new Democrats on those committees

My understanding was that she’s being kept there because Pelosi doesn’t want Newsom to appoint her replacement, since that replacement would have a slight advantage in the 2024 election cycle.

Same lineup, even better song (audio only): Red.

There are a couple of other recordings from the same lineup, but this seems to be the best performance and recording of the song.

I bet with current knowledge and technologies, humanity could afford to lose 99.999% individuals, and the remaining million would still be better off than those primordial 10 thousand. Society is not likely to collapse.

There's a line of thinking that if we backslide far enough (i.e. lose the Internet, lose electronics, and lose electricity generation), there's no coming back to this point. The industrial revolution wouldn't have happened without easy-to-extract coal and oil. Today's reserves require a fairly high level of technological advancement to access.

For what it's worth, I don't think that humanity is going to hit that point of no return.

The idea has definitely come up that there’s an association between the “globalist” pejorative and anti-Semitism (globalism -> conspiracy that secretly controls the world -> Jewish conspiracy), but it’s not as cut and dry as I thought.

Relevant Wikipedia entry about new anti-Semitism

Not sure how I forgot Stardew. I also have two copies.

Nintendo’s exclusives are where the Switch really shines. Unfortunately, they’re expensive. I’ll echo the DekuDeals recommendation for finding sales.

Other Nintendo titles that are worthwhile, aside from the obvious Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom and depending on your tastes:

  • Super Mario Odyssey
  • Mario Kart 8
  • Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
  • Animal Crossing New Horizons
  • Splatoon 3 (2 is good too, but 3 is an improvement and more active)
  • Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
  • Pikmin (the whole series)
  • Metroid Dread
  • Metroid Prime Remastered
  • Fire Emblem Three Houses
  • Pokemon Legends Arceus

There are also tons of great indie games that play well on Switch (especially handheld):

  • Hades
  • Dead Cells
  • Hollow Knight
  • Slay the Spire
  • Into the Breach
  • Shovel Knight
