i think also if you have reddit gold you can set it up to alert you whenever someone mentions your username in a post. that's how the changetip bot knows where the posts invoking it are.

Ron Paul Atreides posted:The point of BB is to trick you into sympathizing with a bad person. Walt gets given a lot of chances to exit but bever does because he's a prideful, arrogant and spiteful motherfucker who ultimately wants the path he chooses, no matter how much it hurts the people around him. The down-in-his-luck everyman who has cancer presentation of Season 1 is a trick to make you complacent about the ever more hosed up behaviour he demonstrates. or like a lot of series they just winged it on the first season and when things took off and the network ordered the next season they didn't have any overarching plot planned out or even know how long it would last. so in an effort to find some way to keep it interesting they just kept throwing poo poo at the story without any real long term consideration for foreshadowing or internal consistency. sometimes it works (BB), sometimes it gets away from them (Lost), and sometimes it just becomes incomprehensible as they scramble to answer everything (Battlestar Galactica).

indigi posted:yeah I'm pretty sure you can blame a guy when the job requires the immoral behavior of an unrepentant scumbag no. everyone deserves to be vigorously represented in court. even the most blatantly guilty have the right to council. the attorney can advise all they want but it is ultimately the client's decision how to proceed and the attorney must respect it (unless they feel it isn't being made by someone in a proper mental state). it is very likely that this attorney told Ross something along the lines of "you are royally hosed if this goes to trial. i will try as best I'm able to find some way to instill reasonable doubt but it is one hell of a long shot." I have to imagine that the karples did it defense is the brainchild of Ross and the attorney was unable to talk him out of it.

Phuzzy posted:The thing is a bridge that uses the hot power of a UPS to either back-load a power strip or clip directly over and connect power to the plug on a wall outlet. it is a bit more fancy than that. the hotplug thing is acting like the backup circuitry of a ups and monitoring the voltage it sees on the output. as soon as the voltage drops for a prescribed amount of time (likely less than a cycle) it starts outputting to keep everything powered. the computer sees a small dropout of 1/120s or so but power supplies can handle that without trouble. that same circuitry changes the phase of the power supplied to match the hotplug input. otherwise you could have very bad things happen when you plugged the plug into the ups (the users manual has all sorts of warning about not plugging the plug it back into the wall). if you tried to use a simple male to male plug you could easily end up with a 240v dead short if you accidentally had the ups plugged into a wall outlet on a different circuit breaker. funny thing is that their fancy over the plug thing only works with the plug style we use in the us. other countries are smart enough to have plugs which don't expose the hot conductors until the plug has been pulled out far enough to disconnect them.

Ursine Asylum posted:maybe, maybe not, i really doubt there's a "coffeeshop tier" of internet for every mom and pop shop that has paid wifi Yes there is. If you are commercial you'll be paying for "business" internet. The difference is usually priority support and prioritized routing over other traffic on their network so your business will still be able to pull the whopping 7/1 that you pay $130/month for even if the residents in the city are having congestion problems as they all try to watch let's plays on youtube at the same time. Most high speed providers each the address as commercial or residential and won't install "residential" service at a commercial location.

Talk about awkward pissing contest. if you had tried to speak with the attorneys they probably wouldn't have even acknowledged your existence beyond a curt nod. not because they are assholes but because the last thing they want to have happen is for someone to say "oh yeah I saw/heard the prosecutor chatting with a juror in the bathroom." court is weird.
