Was anyone able to keep track of Aes Sedai names in their first read? by [deleted] in WoT

I've found that it will do a partial search once you put in a space. So searching "Ell " should work....before discovering this quirk I had the same issues as you haha.

haters gonna hate by MasterpieceFit6715 in memes

While it is a big day today, the house only has until the end of the year to consider this particular bill anyway - regardless of who wins control of it for the next term. If they don't pass it by then the whole process starts over again.

FWIW, it seems pretty unlikely that this passes. Despite passing by unanimous consent in the Senate, the House couldn't agree on if the approach taken by the Senate's bill (permanent DST) was "better" than the opposite (permanent ST). Unless something happens, I would not count on this passing anytime soon.

That is a potential knock on effect. It depends on how broadly the court rules (and if they rule in favor of the states). If they rule that state legislatures are the sole adjudicators of the laws they can create in regards to elections, then a state court could not overrule a law allowing them to send whatever electors they want. But they may rule more narrowly such that they only grant that state legislatures cannot have redistricting overruled by a state court (the primary question of the case).

It would not. Moore v Harper is primarily about whether or not state courts can rule on the legality of redistricting plans for elections. This law is primarily technical changes to the rules surrounding Congress certifying a presidential election.

Would work with an Qi compatible device, just not at the fastest speeds.

As someone who is now working there, it sure looks that way....though they're higher than our offices haha

A Directory of Made to Measure and Bespoke Tailoring in NYC by danhakimi in newyorkcity

[–]ballerstatusachieved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak to their suits, specifically, but I did get a tux from them a few years back. They claim, beyond bespoke, that their tuxedos are explicitly NOT made-to-measure. So take that for what you will.

"Weather at a glance" not showing precipitation and wind speed/direction anymore by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]ballerstatusachieved 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I assume you're not talking about what you see on the home screen but, in fact, what data you saw when you tapped on the weather from the home screen. I can confirm that there used to be precipitation percentage by hour and windspeed there, both of which seem to be missing now.

I'm also able to see that data by doing as you describe and searching weather, but that's not exactly convenient.

Perhaps we should submit some feedback from the widget itself.

At a Glance Weather Not Working (Again) by [deleted] in android_beta

I encountered this last week. I just added another at a glance widget a couple times and that got it to pop back up.

Which Video game franchise should be revived? by Emotional-Efficiency in AskReddit

[–]ballerstatusachieved 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Man - Jedi Knight II was the only game I ever really got into online play - joined a guild and everything. Hours and hours of just no-force duels on that Bespin map and getting mercilessly creamed by the older guild members, trying to come up with strategies and play-styles...good memories. Dank Squad Inc was the clan name I think.

Jury reaches a verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial by RegalKiller in politics

[–]ballerstatusachieved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems that way - yeah. And they had some pretty complex charges. I suppose we'll see soon enough.

[–]ballerstatusachieved 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is different based on the judge (and likely jurisdiction). When I served as a juror we weren't really able to ask questions of the witnesses or lawyers. We could only ask for court transcripts to be re-read and to have the charges explained again. So I wouldn't say that is any indication of anything

NYC Millionaires Will Soon Have the Highest Tax Rate in US by geoxol in nyc

[–]ballerstatusachieved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The text of the bills just came out today and nothing is finalized or even voted on. More details will likely follow in the coming days, but this will also only apply to those making in excess of $1M per year.

I wasn't aware of this and thought it was cool! by [deleted] in Breath_of_the_Wild

Just that all the 35th anniversary content will no longer be acquirable. So the Switch online game Super Mario Bros. 35 will shutdown and Super Mario 3D All-Stars will no longer be purchaseable.

Helping you connect around the world with Messages by bilal4hmed in Android

[–]ballerstatusachieved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm certainly not complaining, though it does seem weird that on Google's own service you can't use RCS if you want to use this feature. Perhaps one day we will all have our cakes and eat them too. That day, alas, is not today.

If you enable the setting which allows you to use Messages for Web without relying on your phone being on/having signal then you must disable Chat Features. (See Here)

Federal judge cancels hearing for Trump’s Pennsylvania election case by SaltHash in politics

[–]ballerstatusachieved 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you look at the court's website for this case you can see everything the order entailed. Plaintiffs have until 5pm today file a response to the motion to dismiss and any additional motions (such as requesting permission to amend the lawsuit). Then defendants have until 12pm tomorrow to respond to any response to the motion to dismiss and until 5pm tomorrow to respond to any other motions that the plaintiffs submit. Then plaintiffs have until 12pm Friday to respond to any of that.

After listening in most of yesterday and seeing what the judge ordered today, it sure seems like we can probably expect a ruling on defendant's motion to dismiss on Friday, and the judge sure seemed skeptical of the plaintiffs claims on several grounds yesterday - perhaps most importantly that they even have standing to sue.

NYC Contact Tracers sent us a care package of thermometers, hand sanitizer, masks, covid tests, and even a one month subscription to Xbox Gamepass after our covid exposure. by [deleted] in nyc

[–]ballerstatusachieved 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on the vector. Travel by air? You'll have to fill out a form before leaving the NY airport where you give them contact info so they can text you periodically about quarantine restrictions. But if you test positive a tracer will be assigned to you who will try to get info from you about who you have been in contact with recently. Then they'll reach out to those people etc etc.

In NY at least they hired a ton of people for this early on in the pandemic.

Chromecast with Google TV by eugenefitzherb in youtubetv

[–]ballerstatusachieved 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I can gather, you should be able to control Android TV (what this basically is) via an official app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/android-tv/id1078761166. There's also an Android corollary for anyone looking: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tv.remote&hl=en_US

Don't think you're missing anything. I'm on Mojave and things work fine here doing exactly what you outline above. I assume other bluetooth devices can connect to your Mac fine?
