stinerman , to nostupidquestions in Can a judge sue a defendant for slander/libel?
@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

No it is not. You can appeal if the judge was biased before he was assigned the case. After he takes the case if he becomes “biased” because you called him names and defamed him…no. If you could, every defendant would try to piss off the judge so that they could win on appeal because s/he was biased during the trial.

stinerman , to aboringdystopia in "but- But- inflation go brrrr 🥺👉👈"
@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

MIT used to have the Billion Prices Project which tried to determine inflation numbers independently of the government, but it no longer exists. My recollection is that it was generally close to the official numbers.

If you think the reported numbers are wrong, you have to give a reason why, backed with evidence. As much as it sucks when rent and food, etc. are more expensive, but those are only part of the number. Inflation encompasses everything and some goods/services are higher than the average number and some are lower. For instance, car insurance has gone up a ton, but apparently fuel oil has gone down (econofact.org/inflation-and-prices).

I think what people are (rightly) concerned about is that the necessities of life are higher than the official numbers (because those are an average of lots of things). This makes them think the real numbers are “wrong” based their specific situation rather than the country at large.

stinerman , to nostupidquestions in Can Trump still run for president now that he's a convicted felon?
@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

We don’t have parliamentary supremacy. What we have is what we have. A rough equivalent is that (assuming you’re a UK citizen) the Lords could still veto bills and the Commons couldn’t force the issue.

stinerman , to nostupidquestions in Can Trump still run for president now that he's a convicted felon?
@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

Yes. The “why” is that in 1787 it was unthinkable that a felon would be elected President by the Electoral College. The electors wouldn’t bother voting for a felon.

@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

That’s some catch, that catch 22.

stinerman , to insanepeoplefacebook in CFOs totally love corresponding with sovcits.
@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

Make money with this one weird trick by sending people paperwork they must fill out or else they owe you money. Accountants hate it!

It appears that I am not genius.

stinerman , to technology in Linux Inventor Says He Doesn’t Believe in Crypto
@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

He (Linus Torvalds) made Linux as a hobby during his time in college/university to teach him about operating system design. Because it was the part of the operating system called the kernel that the GNU project didn’t have yet (more on this in a moment), it became very popular. Richard Stallman created the GNU project because he believed that every person should have the right to study and share the software that runs on their computer.

There is nothing specifically anti-corporate in either of their motivations.

stinerman , to insanepeoplefacebook in Sovcit needs some help.
@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

“I fucked around and then found out. Can anyone help?”

stinerman , to nostupidquestions in 4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good?
@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

It’s not crazy. You should get one every so often just in case. Better to find a small problem now than a big problem later.

I’m more shocked that you could buy the house without an inspection. My bank required one to give me a loan.

Real “who do you think you are? I am!” vibes on this one.

Running an absolutely ancient kernel.

stinerman , to insanepeoplefacebook in Sovcit wants to know how to not pay property tax, other sovcit has an answer.
@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

I think at one time in Nevada (or possibly still) you can get allodial title to property. You don’t have to pay taxes on that. However in practice you’re simply pre-paying property taxes for a certain amount of time.

IANAL, but I recall this being a thing in a few states.

stinerman , to insanepeoplefacebook in Sovcit is mad he was called a sovcit by the judge.
@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

In Soviet Russia, contract refuses you!

stinerman , to insanepeoplefacebook in CEOs definitely take time to read your psychotic payment coupons and letters, sovcit.
@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

This is why they won’t shop at Aldi. They don’t accept coupons.
