Note for the internet: I am just clarifying the Catholic stance. I am not Catholic and not defending them.

Priests cannot reveal what someone tells them in confession. It’s a lot like attorney-client privilege, as your priest is supposed to be your advocate before God. Breaking the seal of confession is a big deal (to them) because, just like criminals deserve representation, sinners need to be able to confess.

You’re okay with a child going hungry because their parents “didn’t work hard enough”?

Also note that printers come with a smaller cartridge. Buying another printer isn’t cheaper, even if it costs less.

I work in IT. Our clients are small offices with existing equipment. So I see a wide variety of machines in different environments.

I would only buy a Brother printer. No question.

Someone could probably do this. But it would just be a fun project, not replicable.

You’d need to write your own printer driver. There are probably some open source libraries out there to do most of the heavy lifting, but it’s still a project.

The big issue is going to be the interface between the pi and the printer’s “motors and wiring”. Doable, but too finicky to publish a “kit” or something for someone else to replicate. It could be worth the work if it would help other people, but I don’t think that’s on the table.

Honestly, I think anyone with the ability to do that would probably find it easier to just build their own printer.

2022…I wonder how many people died to protect corporation’s profits in two years of a global pandemic.

Your “nothing wrong” includes frequent trips to Epstein’s island. 😬

I guess I’m just a crazy online Leftist for not thinking a nice donation to NPR is enough to even out molesting kids. I guess you want to give him a tote bag?

Sure. The Gates Foundation gives the money to the Totally Not A Tax Dodge foundation which quietly pays the Gates kids as much as they want. I’m sure it will be more elegant than that, but that’s the basic grift.

Meanwhile, Gates uses his reputation as a philanthropist, and all the soft power from controlling billions to further his own interests and cement his personal philosophy as the only option.

The charity means that the American people have no control at all over how the money is spent, so the plebians have to beg at their door for money to be used in the way that Gates says it must be used.

Everyone uses this cliche. Nobody seems to understand it.

a bad or reckless manager can put the company at significant risk

Yes. In this circumstance, the manager opened the company up to a lawsuit with his comments. It would have protected the company to punish him or have him take some sort of class.

You can just say that HR is usually bad at their jobs. “Protecting the company not the employee” is completely meaningless here.

Why would a rapist pretend to be a trans woman in a society that treats rapists better than trans women?

Yes, but you misspelled “capitalism”.

We’ve had speech to text since the 90s. Current iterations have improved, like most technology has improved since the 90s. But, no, I wouldn’t buy a new computer with glaring privacy concerns for real time subtitles in movies.

Same issue from when we had turbo buttons: why have a button for something you don’t turn off?

Enough people are thirsty for him that he can ride the notoriety and social cache for years, regardless. Of the people most into him, most don’t care that much for the judicial system regardless, so the court’s decision won’t matter that much.

His views are oddly right wing and I don’t think he’s the sort to lead a movement, so he’ll probably fade into obscurity in the general public.

Definitely. They’re claiming that a McDonald’s worker called the cops on a nondescript (well, kinda attractive) white guy? A hundred Luigis eat there every day, and the “Bartender that remembers someone from three days ago” is an artifact of cop dramas.

When I worked in fast food, I called the customers “wallets with feet”. Jeffrey Dahmer and Tim McVeigh could have come in together and I wouldn’t have noticed.

No one will ever convince me that the weapon they “found” wasn’t drenched in Central Park pond water.

All of these stupid articles highlight Trump voters so that liberals will jerk off about leopards rather than get angry that completely innocent people are being harmed.

I wonder how many of the people gloating in this thread have parents who voted for Trump.

Good ol’ Murphy. The Hammurabi of the internet.

Eww. You guys wipe?

Maybe the person I replied to will read it this time.
