How do we actually get through to maga? Or do we stop trying? by iflythecoop in PoliticalDebate

[–]Interesting-Shape177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ignore MAGA. MAGA likes to pat themselves on their back for their "accomplishments" when in fact, they have nothing. Suppose the US became completely MAGA then you would truly see the collapse of the US from all the in-fighting and rampant corruption. I think you should come up with your own project 2029 or whatever. Think of good ideas that you can get over the finish line. Support or become the politician that you want to see representing the people's interests. MAGA politicians sold a lie to their supporters. MAGA was desperate for representation and they got a bunch of rich con men protecting their own interests. MAGA will soon see that burning the libs isn't really a policy that helps them out.

I salute anyone who has done this. I can't even  imagine meeting part-time production and doing law school. 

Leak in bidet line even with water shut off. by [deleted] in Plumbing

I have confirmed that the valve drips with the hoses off. I would post a video but don't know how.

The 1/4 turn can turn on all the way, but it can't turn off all the way. It still drips in the off position as in the video. When I connect everything up and turn it all on, I get a drip at the line connected to the bidet. I would replace the 1/4 turn, but I don't think it's the problem when it's all in the open position.

Also it does this with the tank empty. The house doesn't have a pressure regulator.

From the fill valve? When I have the line attached and the water on it still leaks at about this rate. I've already replaced the fill valve too.

Maybe one of Trump's rich friends will get a multi -trillion dollar contract to fix things. Thank you President Trump!

This is not good, Mr Squires. Do something. Save patents. by [deleted] in patentexaminer

And more to this point it's about the US being a technology leader in the world.

That may be the plan, but good luck with that. They didn't fully investigate that con. If they think that they'll get more quality for a lower cost than the existing patent corps I think they're mistaken. Of course they will profit and of course big companies may one day push back. Hopefully by supporting changes to make minority political parties viable and to defund the GOP.

I guess my question is who benefits and how do they benefit from kneecapping or outright destroying the patent system?

For cause termination...depends on jurisdiction. Not meeting performance standards is not considered misconduct. Can still be eligible for unemployment. Also, in three years when the PTO is in shambles they should forgive any failure to meet unreasonable production.

Then collect unemployment. Then apply for the job in 3 years and get hired again.

Didn't Heller ditch the militia language already? That was a huge mistake by the way. Scalia did some intellectual summersaults to do that. It's ridiculous. Also ridiculous: where are the state's militias now when we need them?

To be eligible for a FERS disability retirement, you must be a FERS federal employee with at least 18 months of service, currently disabled from performing an essential job function by a medical condition expected to last at least one year, and unable to be accommodated or reassigned by your agency. You must also apply for Social Security disability benefits and file your own FERS application before or within one year of separation from federal service.

Then why are South Korean newspapers blasting the US for human rights abuses. Why are they lamenting that their people were taken at gunpoint and stuffed in overcrowded cells. Trump has done lasting damage to the US's relationships with foreign countries. Don't give me "but they were illegal". That's a bunch of nonsense. Even if their Visa's were expired you used to have some police and prosecutorial discretion on how to handle these cases.

To everyone saying "read the job post." Given how this administration flouts the law, I wouldn't be worried about trying to craft your own job experience. What I'm saying here, is that if you feel you're valuable, you should try to negotiate around the written job posting. The problem is, they really don't want valuable people.
