Didn't the funding bill a couple of weeks ago give Trump more tariff power? Why didn't this guy speak up sooner?

According to this non-paywalled coverage, there are times when the filibuster doesn't apply to repealing laws:

The 1996 CRA gives Congress a 60-day window to repeal federal regulations with a simple majority vote in each chamber and the president’s signature. The clock resets in a new session of Congress for rules finalized toward the end of the previous congressional session.

Republican lawmakers are also eyeing CRA measures to repeal the CFPB’s larger participant rule for digital payment companies and its ban on the use of medical debt in consumer credit reports.

He backed down and had talks with US officials. Now that Trump has shown that the talks didn't accomplish anything Ford might be more inclined to hold his ground next time.

Coincidentally(?), today Humble launched a bundle that includes both Pillars of Eternity games.

I was going to start PoE on Game Pass soon, but I think real-time with pause was what turned me off of Baldur's Gate 1 back in the day, so I guess I'll wait for the patch.

From the article:

In bankruptcy and receivership cases, cash-strapped companies can opt not to pay severance, forcing laid-off workers to make claims as unsecured creditors — which will likely result in pennies on the dollar.

She thought she knew how to run the company better then the people who were above her.)

After Scott got canned most of the people above Gail were probably new to the company, so she was probably right.

But the court’s six conservative justices all appeared much more skeptical of the district. They attacked it on a variety of grounds, including questioning whether the initial case striking down the map was correctly decided and whether Louisiana was obligated to draw a new map if they believed the courts were wrong.

“What if the Robinson decision were plainly wrong?” justice Samuel Alito asked, referring to the original decision ordering Louisiana to add a second majority-Black district. “Would you still have a good reason to follow it?” Alito later all but said he believed the Robinson decision was wrong.

J Benjamin Aguiñaga, Louisiana’s solicitor general and former Alito clerk, said repeatedly that even though Louisiana believed the court’s original decision was wrong, it still had an obligation to follow court rulings.

Even Republicans on the Supreme Court are getting on board with ignoring rulings you think are wrong. Do these dumbasses understand that they're going to put themselves out of a job?

The reason why those two new PSUs only have one 8-pin connector is because they both sport two 12V-2x6 sockets instead. The company does offer PSUs with up to three 8-pin and one 16-pin power slots.

The only reason why anyone would want to use two 12V-2x6 cables is to have a PC with two Nvidia graphics cards but given that SLI is dead and long gone on the latest generation of GeForce GPUs, dual setups are purely for AI, to let you do your own training and inference.

I'm not sure about the AI angle. The product pages for the PSUs don't mention AI, and no company is going to make a product for AI and not mention AI.

Imagine if the Democrats had called for impeachment every time someone in the Fifth Circuit issued a clearly incorrect ruling

Send real eggs, but "forget" about the travel time so they arrive rotten.
