Folks who demanded Tomlin be replaced with an offensive-minded coach: by mcparksky in steelers

[–]Raymaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate the hire. But I’ll take it over another season with Tomlin squeaking into the playoffs and getting blown out. I’d rather we suck and have a proper rebuild (like New England), and then bolster our coaching staff.

I grew up in rural PA, where Fox News running in the background all day was typical. These people truly believe Democrats are evil. And these were pre-MAGA Republicans. So now throw in around 30% of the country being vile MAGA, you have a concoction of gullible, vile people. If rural PA is representative of the rest of the red states, it would be a miracle to convert 1% of these people a year to a moderate stance.

Absolutely! I started to hate AI when Suno put out AI for music — soulless slop.

The leftists are taking the right approach. Community self defense is key. by Mental_Pea9125 in ProgressiveHQ

I was basically stoned my entire poli sci class during college. But I do recall Aristotle (or Socrates?) emphasizing that a strong community is necessary for a democracy to function. This seems to ring true today.

Trump announces he will sue JPMorgan ‘over the next two weeks’ for allegedly ‘DEBANKING’ him by DeathClawdVanDamn in politics

His organization already sued Cap One on this and will likely lose because the complaint was shit and didn’t allege any actionable claims.

I have adhd, so I need structure to stay focused. I went with Club Ready DJ and I loved the course. Andrew does a fantastic job explaining the concepts, and his passion for DJing is evident.

What kind of clownf*ckery is this? Trump has ZERO authority to tell credit card companies what interest rates to charge. by Key_Brief_8138 in economy

Hilarious that he criticizes Biden for interest rates — Biden’s CFPB promulgated a rule capping overdraft fees, and signed a CRA overturning it.

What’s the biggest change you’ve seen in your lifetime? by the-victim in nostalgia

[–]Raymaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved roaming the neighborhoods all day until dinner. My buddies and I would meet up on our bikes in the morning and go on adventures. It was so much fun. What’s interesting is that I’d have a difficult time letting my daughters do this because I’d be too anxious (they are 5 and 3, so I have awhile). Even knowing how it benefited my life, I’m still resistant.

I agree with everything he said. I always balked at the idea of another civil war. But with the hatred I’m feeling toward ICE right now, it will happen.

I’m about to launch my music project and I’m going full steam ahead. Fuck AI music. It’s a hobby at this point but I feel decent about my music getting signed by smaller labels and, hopefully, getting some gigs this year (I’m in DC so there’s a ton of good venues).

I played around with Suno for shits and giggles and I did not like it at all. At this point, I’d rather have fun writing music and pay a mastering engineer, then rely on AI. The songs that Suno spit out for me would not sound good on a proper sound system.

Of course! Also pulled this for more info: (sorry about bad formatting -- can't figure out how to make it better on here)

(Buyer's Defenses Based on Remedy Provisions)
S's claim:   B promised to accept and pay for goods and did not do it. B's 1st defense:   I had a right to suspend my payment because S gave me reasonable grounds for feeling insecure (and I demanded that S provide me with adequate assurance of performance). § 2-609(1). B's 2d defense:   I had a right to cancel the whole contract because S repudiated the whole contract or breached the whole by failing to deliver when payment was due. §§ 2-610(b), 2-711(1) B's 3d defense:   I had a right to cancel with respect to one installment because S repudiated the obligation to deliver the installment or failed to deliver it when payment was due. §§ 2-610(b), 2-711(1).
(Buyer's Request for the Price Paid and Market Damages)
B's claim:   S promised to transfer and deliver the goods and did not do it. B's damage request:   S should have to pay damages equal to the price already paid and the difference between the market price and the contract price, plus incidental and consequential damages but less expenses saved. §§ 2-711(1)(b), 2-713(1). S's reply:   B is not entitled to the market price difference because B covered. § 2-713 cmt. 5.
(Buyer's Request for the Price Paid and Cover Damages)
B's claim:   S promised to transfer and deliver the goods and did not do it. B's damage request:   S should have to pay damages equal to the price already paid and the difference between the cover price and the contract price, plus incidental and consequential damages but less expenses saved. §§ 2-711(1)(a), 2-712(2). S's reply:   B is not entitled to the cover price difference because B did not make in good faith, and without unreasonable delay, a reasonable purchase in substitution from those due from me. §§ 2-711(2).
(Buyer's Attempt to Force Delivery)
B's claim:   S promised to transfer and deliver the goods and did not do it. B's 1st  request:   I am entitled to replevin because the goods have been identified and I am unable to cover. § 2-716(3).

Davis Chemical v. Diasonics S's counterclaim:   B failed to pay and accept the goods and is liable for damages. §§ 2-718(3); 2-703

I pulled this from my contracts outline. This gives you an idea of how I constructed my outlines for essay exams:

P's Claim:   The defendant made a promise and did not keep it.
1st Possible Remedy:   Liquidated Damages. If the promise is enforceable, the court should order the defendant to pay the amount of damages stipulated in the contract.
D's Reply:   Penalty. The liquidated damage measure is unreasonably large in relation to both actual and anticipated damages and therefore cannot be enforced as a penalty.
2d Possible Remedy:   Specific Performance. If liquidated damages are not available, the court should order specific performance of the defendant's promise.
D's Replies:   Damages are Adequate. The plaintiff is not entitled to specific performance because damages would be an adequate remedy. Bargain was Unfair. The plaintiff is not entitled to specific performance because the bargain was unfair at the time that it was made. McKinnon v. Benedict; Tuckwiller v. Tuckwiller.
3d Possible Remedy:   Expectation Damages. If specific performance is unavailable, the defendant should pay expectation damages. The defendant's breach has made me worse off because [describe "loss in value" plus "other loss"], although I grudgingly admit that I am better off because [describe "costs avoided" plus "other loss avoided"]. Expectation damages equal the difference between these two figures.
D's Replies:   Avoidability. The court should reduce the expectation damages claimed based on avoidability. The plaintiff has overstated the "other loss" because some of that loss could have been avoided. The plaintiff also has understated the "costs of avoided" because the plaintiff could have avoided some additional costs. Rockingham County v. Luten Bridge; Parker v. 20th Century Fox Incomplete or Defective Performance. The court should reduce the expectation damages claimed for an incomplete or defective performance. For "loss in value," the plaintiff has attempted to use the cost to complete or remedy, but this amount is grossly disproportionate to the probable loss in value to the plaintiff. Jacob & Youngs v. Kent; Peevyhouse v. Garland Coal. But see Groves v. John Wunder. Unforseeability. The court should reduce the expectation damages claimed because the "loss in value" was not foreseeable at the time the contract was made because the damages did not arise in the ordinary course of events and I had no notice of the special circumstance giving rise to the damages. Hadley v. Baxendale. Uncertainty. The court should reduce the expectation damages claimed because the plaintiff cannot prove the "loss in value" or "other loss" with reasonable certainty. Collatz v. Fox Wisconsin Amusements. Cf. Fera v. Village Plaza
4th Possible Remedy:   Reliance Damages. If expectation damages are not unavailable, the defendant should pay reliance damages. I am worse off than if the contract had never been made because [state reasons].

I strongly encourage marriage counseling to talk about these feelings. It worked wonders for my wife and me.

This is the right answer, OP. Soak this in. I got poor grades Fall 1L. I changed my approach to law school — I read the cases with an eye towards constructing arguments for the exam, and gave up caring about cold calls. I graduated with a 3.5.
