TCEQ is a fucking joke. They’re a rubber stamp for anything industry wants, and they don’t care where.

Burnet county TX residents are currently trying to fight the installation of (another) rock crusher/quarry in an area with limited water and where three other similar plants already exist.

TCEQ rubber stamped their air quality permit after admitting they have ZERO air quality monitors in the entire county. But I’m sure it’s fine.

If that’s their approach, I’ll just refrain from doing business with a company whose default position is that their customers are intending to commit fraud.

Yeah… that should be tied to the product, not a person. And it doesn’t need a unique serial number. Take the old one back, verify it’s not a fraud, send the replacement. If it’s a fraud, destroy it and let the customer know why, then offer them credit on a genuine piece.

A backpack company doesn’t need to know who I am.

No one is wondering why a backpack has a serial number to begin with? Vehicles, sure. Electronics, ok. But a backpack? Why does it even need a serial number?

It’s essentially a clothing item. My t-shirts don’t have serial numbers. I’m just finding it a bit insane that a backpack would have a unique serial.

I’m just saying that before he’s removed there needs to be something official. A legal finding that he did indeed participate in insurrection.

Once that’s officially and legally established, then and only then, 14-3 should be invoked.

That’s already happened. There was a finding of fact that Trump participated in insurrection by state of Colorado.

That’s in part why this is the case the USSC has taken up. It is now established legal fact that Trump participated in insurrection, but 14-3 isn’t super clear that it pertains to POTUS, unlike the clarity for Senators and Representatives.

So there’s no question of guilt. That’s established. It’s now a question of applicability.

Fucking Phil.

Agree completely.

SSA retirement age should be the maximum age for a new term. If you hit 67 during a term, you cannot run for another.

SSA will likely be hesitant to shift that number at will, or risk drawing the ire of one of the largest voting blocks: retired persons.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the issue, but I’m reading it as a dislike for the new “modern” start menu in win11 that’s center screen and feels designed for touch interfaces?

You can disable that and turn it more like a win 7 style start menu.

but I still can’t get over the crippled start menu

You know you can set it back to “legacy”, right? I’ve been using Win11 since it was beta and when you swap the new default gui elements back to “legacy”, it’s much better than even win 10.
