That is a wildly misleading headline…

Specifically, it's disabling remote start, rather than the actual heating.

I’ve started to refer to it as the “Tony Soprano presidency”. It fits so much of the logic.

But Tony was a good businessman and also regretted entering certain aspects of the family business.

My vote is for 13 year old boy's fantasy presidency.


A convenient explanation for Trumps ephebophilia/pedophilia.

Nah, I was thinking more of busty (adult) blondes, owning a massive business and conducting international affairs like an eighties action movie.

they aren't doing that...they are just changing who is in charge of the trade group.


This is not about the Bar exam (the test), this is about accreditation of law degrees. The issue is about here is about who determines whether a legal education is sufficient to trust that a lawyer who passes the test is prepared for practice. This issue is the opposite of being completely test-based. The ABA also creates the most common bar exam (the MBE or multistate bar exam) but some states like California use a different exam. The legal profession does not, but many have long argued should, have a practice requirement for independent licensure to practice.

It is akin to ABET (previously Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology) in engineering. having an ABET accredited engineering degree has long been a component (alongside testing and mentored practice) for being a licensed engineer who can stamp drawings (e.g., structural plans for buildings). There are two tests (FE and PE) but they are not created by ABET they are created by an organization called NCEES - The National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying.

ABET and NCEES are different organizations, part of the confusion here is that ABA is both the accreditor and the tester in many states. The difference in path between accreditor -> testing -> licensure is:

ABA accredited degree -> ABA (MBE) or other (non-ABA) Bar exam -> Lawyer

ABET accredited degree -> FE exam (made by NCEES) -> mentored work experience -> PE exam (made by NCEES) -> Professional Engineer


The Texas bar exam already has a second day of testing, entirely on Texas oil and gas law. Everyone must pass it to practice law in Texas, even if you no intention to do anything related to oil and gas.


again, this change has nothing to do with the bar exam. It is who is allowed to take the bar exam.


“School resource officers” shoot kids (and themselves) with terrifying frequency, the kids typically unarmed and often autistic/neurodivergent.

I kept having my bad vibes meter triggered by the italics so thanks for making the connection for me.


My spider sense was going off because they spend the first several pages constructing the most obtuse definition of Inflation without just saying it.


I've had state government (including both cops and clerks) refuse to acknowledge my digital ID in my state.

you are not the only one. There was a paper covering this exact topic in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences a few years back [0].

Passive learning (lecture) scored better on:

* Student Enjoyment

* Feeling of Learning

* Instructor effectiveness

* I wish all my courses where taught this way

Active Learning (i.e., not lecture) scored better on:

* Actual learning

The differences are not small.

I would guess it limits their ability to be accused of anythign to pick a plane, flight, and time that meets at least three criteria:

1) no passengers on board - you can't be accussed of endangering passengers

2) long past - you can't be accused of anything that happened recently

3) the plan literally no longer exists - you can't be accussed of damaging a plane
