    I don’t think you’ll get any benefit until you’re ready to go to TWW zones but I’m really not 100%. Depending on how you play, it might make sense to wait for like a Black Friday or holiday deal (which I’m sure will come soon)

    Yeah but repairs don’t get taken care of by a landlord. When you buy a home, you have even less monthly funds available for mortgage because you also need to be saving a little for the big repair things that come up.

    Renting allows those repair expenses to be handled by the landlord rather than the tenant. Renting is not inherently a worse decision than buying, there are pros and cons to both.

  • ELI5: How can an alford plea be different from a guilty plea if your pleading to all charges? Kind of like the West Memphis 3?

    No it’s more like:

    Go to trial = no plea deal at all = risking harsher sentence OR you know you can prove your innocence

    Guilty plea = accepting full responsibility for the crime and accepting the prosecutions deal of (usually) a lesser sentence to skip the trial and go straight to punishment.

    Alford plea = same as above but maintaining that you are innocent of the charges but cannot prove that against the prosecutions evidence.

    As others have stated, an Alford plea often has to be approved or accepted by the judge or prosecutors so it’s not always an option for everyone.

    There are other avenues that can be taken in a democracy between now and the next election. Ranked choice voting would be great.

    How would a trump win help the genocide happening in Gaza??

    When a person enters an Alford plea, they maintain their innocence but acknowledge that the prosecution has enough evidence to likely convict them if the case went to trial. In contrast, a guilty plea is an outright admission of guilt.

    An Alford plea allows a defendant to avoid the risk of a harsher sentence at trial while not admitting to the crime itself.

    In essence, an Alford plea is about accepting the legal consequences without admitting personal guilt.

    Yeah I’m sure I’m not the norm but I’m actually shocked when I see companies advertising their talent’s twitter accounts on tv broadcasts. I truly can’t believe that site is still mainstream after everything that’s happened.

    Idk then I look over and see trump as a presidential candidate and ugh… I guess I’m just still not comfortable/accepting of how far off the rails things have gone 🙁

    It does feel like they’re slower to tune M+ than they were in Dragonflight S1. Probably because they’re spending so much time on delves and T8 delves are basically rewarding better ilvl than any M+ that isn’t a 6 or higher.

    I’m not opposed to delves but so far, I’m not really enjoying the way it’s affected the overall game elsewhere.

    What's your favorite iPhone case?

    Looking for minimal and thin with a good ‘button feel’ or just holes in the case to allow button access for a 15 Pro. What are your favorites?

    When Zakk refers to other guitarists like Iommi, Rhodes, Dime, or Cantrell he’ll often give them religious ‘titles’ like “Father Jerry” or “Saint Iommi” Does anyone know of a full list of those? I’ve always seen it as a fun way for him to elevate his icons/influences.

    I love having inline video as I scroll through my home feed, however I’m rarely ever able to unmute and listen to them. Occasionally I’ll see an unmute button in the top right of some videos but the vast majority don’t seem to have a volume or mute indicator at all. I’m sure I’m missing something obvious 🙈 can anyone help?

    I was really excited for this one and it just dropped this morning. Did not expect it to be a made in Mexico version though and that probably removes me from the market for this one as I was hoping to replace my American Ultra with this version. Anyone planning on grabbing this one?

    I honestly wasn't really excited for this event when I first heard about it. However, I have to say it was a lot of fun to go back and dragon ride through Kalimdor!

    Over the past few weeks, droves of sick and dying sea animals have been washing up along the coast of Southern California, including beaches in Santa Barbara and Ventura. The devastation has been caused by an outbreak of toxic algae on a scale never before seen in the region, according to NOAA Fisheries' West Coast branch. As of last week, local officials had estimated that over 100 dolphins and over 500 sea lions had been killed by the algal bloom. It appears that the toxins are slowly spreading to Northern California.

    Getting really close to purchasing and I'm kinda on the fence between [dmarcian](https://dmarcian.com/), [dmarcly](https://dmarcly.com/), and [easy dmarc](https://easydmarc.com/). However, I'm open to pretty much anything with realistic pricing if you have alternatives to recommend. I assume all 3 of these would get the job done, as they all seem to support dashboards, alerts, and forensic reporting. I'm curious about email volume limits though, I don't see as crystal clear picture of pricing when it comes to that - does anyone have first hand experience they'd be willing to share? - single domain in Exchange Online - email volume *just* crept up over 100k monthly in May/June
