Nice. I liked the first one better (guess it is more my "style") but both were good. 👍

Well, I tested the combo chain with Thunderbolt 3 port connected to a "Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter" to a Thunderbolt 2 cable to a Thunderbolt 2 hard drive.

It works fine. With that configuration I copied 25 GB of data onto that Thunderbolt 2 hard drive without incident. It's a spinning hard drive too using power drawn only from the Thunderbolt 3 port.

I’m really hoping to get my kid in school for his fourth quarter.

They’ve been open almost the whole year. We’ve just been doing the remote option.

Dont know much about it, but it does seem that all reviews should be at least looked at and considered.

(I assume that the Bar Association is respected in its reviews?)

As @Renauda says, vinegar works pretty well. One time I did that, but still had problems. I found that the filter screen at the bottom of the water tank was plug, so had to take a tooth brush and scrub that and rinse. The vinegar just made the scales from the water tank land on the filter and plug them up

That is good news!!

@taiwan_girl said in Impeachment Testimony:

Why would it go to the Supreme Court?

I don't see how it would. SCOTUS has been historically reluctant to get involved in political disagreements. The law here is pretty clear: The House of Representatives has sole authority to impeach - which they did. The Senate has the sole authority to try - which they are poised to.

The only question is whether this is constitutional, for it states "The president," which Trump is not. Precedent for non-presidential impeachments of former holders of office exists. That is the thinking of the House, I presume.

All that said, SCOTUS wants to avoid opening this Pandora's box, and allow Congress to do whatever they want.

How, having said all that, there's still a question: Suppose Trump is convicted (which he won't be, of course), and he wants to appeal that conviction. Does he have standing to appeal to SCOTUS? I'd guess SCOTUS would not grant cert because, as I said, this has nothing to do with law, other than the constitution, which is sufficiently clear that this is a political, not legal, process.

The other interesting question is whether the Senate has subpoena power to compel testimony.

@jolly It is not like a "switch". Think of it like a big train. You can start the brakes on the train, but the train will continue to move forward for a period of time.

I did the Dyson cordless for Xmas last year, in part as a joke...was not received well at all. By the afternoon it was her favorite toy. As I still get thanked.

I bought my wife a good coffee grinder for her birthday once... did not go over great. Nothing fun about a coffee grinder. Now she says it's one of her favorite possessions.

It kind of reminds you of that scene in Ghost.

Okay, not really.

@george-k said in Ghislaine Maxwell claims immunity:

To understand her arguments, we have to go back to Jeffrey Epstein’s 2007 plea deal.

You don't expect me to read all that bilge, do you?

Yes, for specific actions or patterns. Not where were you when in the absence of any other indicator.

They have 60MM customers and turned over info on 211. Thats a pretty fine comb.

Yeah I don’t think we have the right to know who the 211 make up as it’s probably in our best interests to have it dealt with. Maybe a trusted person can review (justice roberts?) and tell us all is well.

Those are great. We don't have nearly as many - the most obvious one I can think of is shandy-drinker.

First, they came for the chairman of the Handforth Parish Council....
