Fascinating theory. Are there any statistics on how many Israeli soldiers have died for the U.S.? How many have been deployed to fight for the U.S.?

Same here and that voice really was the only good one. I don't know why they don't bring the voices from their API over, which are all much better, like Nova or Shimmer (https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/text-to-speech)

The T200 is a great option too- you sacrifice the titanium for stainless steel but get more flexibility as the strap is removable (which IMO makes it more versatile). Beautiful dial too. I own one and I've been looking for watches with similar tinted crystal but haven't been able to find any that do it nearly as well.

I'm fine with government employees being paid handsomely as long as they're qualified and effective. Currently, public employees are typically underpaid; however, a lingering problem in California is that public employees, once hired, have a "right to employment" that makes them considerably more difficult to fire than employees in the private sector. The guarantee of employment often removes any incentive for continued improvements in performance. If it were easy to shape the public employee workforce by selecting for the best, it would be easier to justify having salaries of public employees that are competitive with the private sector, which is how it should be if we want effective government run by competent and ambitious professionals.

The state only takes care of kids if a court assumes jurisdiction under WIC 300. You can only voluntarily give ups kid within the first few days of birth (this is known as safe surrender https://advokids.org/legal-tools/safe-surrender/) otherwise courts usually assume jurisdiction due to cases of abuse, neglect, abandonment, etc

Re:Affirmative action at US colleges has been banned
on Thursday June 29, 2023 @06:16PM (#36527568)
Affirmative action was banned across California and the article you cited itself says that the problem is only with UCs and not CSUs. The reasons proposed (distance, costs, number of UCs vs CSUs) intuitively ring true to me. Today's decision is obviously correct from a legal standpoint (equal protection clause bans all race-based discrimination) but the difference between CSUs and UCs actually suggests a positive path forward for helping boost Black and Latino enrollment in UCs- step one might be building a lot more and making them cheaper.

Yeah he does seem to have a somewhat cohesive and distinct philosophy of his own that undergirds his decisions and that's been underappreciated given his influence over the Court and American jurisprudence
