Think of kids as a stress multiplier. Whatever your stress level is, kids will 2-10x it.

I mean it's the law so lawyers can try whatever appeals they like but from my incredibly limited understanding, default judgements aren't usually appealable unless there was a structural/procedural mess up.
So if combs wasn't notified (we all know that's not true), or if there was a reasonable reason he didn't respond (got into a car accident on the way to the courthouse/deployed to Iraq), or some local procedural misstep by the plaintiff.
But failing that courts are pretty strict about enforcing default judgements as final. God knows they don't want people just not showing up as a tactic.
On the surface, the order seems like it couldn't be appealed for most of the usual reasons. I wonder if they could play the "my client couldn't respond because it may violate his 5th amendment rights in a related criminal case" or something like that. That seems like the type of thing a lawyer might try.
When the "government shuts down" the elected officials still all work.
Even some federal employees still work. There are core essential functions that have to continue or people may die, government property may be destroyed, etc. Those people all work--without any support staff.
They just won't receive a paycheck until the shutdown is over.
The military continues to work. Federal law enforcement continues to work.
The reality of a government shutdown is that it's actually very expensive and almost entirely performative (from the politicians perspective). Nothing good comes from it. It's literally one of congress's only jobs-- so they just look more incompetent than usual.
The federal agencies spend a lot of time and effort preparing for possible shutdowns that usually get averted at the 11th hour. When they don't it's incredibly expensive to deal with the impacts of delayed programs and contract issues, handling leave/time off during that timeframe etc.
Another impact is that it can drive top talent away from the government (potentially by design from certain political dispositions). Would you work somewhere that doesn't pay you or delays paychecks?
That said, I don't thing government employees have officially missed a pay check yet though. Like I said it's all bullshit. They get to the brink then "figure it out". The one a few years ago was the closest people got to missing paychecks. The solved it the day before the official pay date.
Would you mind educating us plebs then? I had a similar question to op, and I can assure you, I definitely don't understand local auth services the way I probably should.
He has a legit point that Steve did not give LTT a chance to comment. "He doesn't have to!" Maybe. But he gave the other side a ton of airtime/chances to comment. It was very one sided and while GN made some good points, it felt like a hit piece. And Linux, imo rightfully, felt a little betrayed by a guy he'd worked with in the community.
His reaction wasn't great but it was that of a guy who was defending his team and from someone he'd probably consider a 'friend' impugning his integrity and dragging them without giving them any opportunity to comment or even letting him know it was coming--two very common practices/norms.
A unflattering view of GN vid is that he felt threatened by LTT labs entering the space and he wanted to get out in front of that an expose"how unreliable" they are. He didn't give LTT a heads up or allow them to comment because he knew they'd have a solid response. He blindsided him on purpose.
All that said, GN did Linus a favor. It accelerated his transition away from CEO and forced them to review their dumb production rates and the videos that are coming out now are better than ever.
Ironically, it left a sour taste in my mouth about Steve and I haven't watched any of his videos since.

Asked whether Piastri lends him enough help, Norris answered: “Yeah, he helps me. But I’m not here just to beg for someone to let me pass. That’s not why I’m here.
“I’m here to race. He drove a better race than me, so I finished third, and that’s where I deserved to finish.”
Hahahah! This is actually a sick burn after the race where the team had to beg Norris to slow down to let piastri pass.
Newborn diapers.
Get the cheapest Walmart special you can find. Newborns don't poop or pee enough to warrant fussing over fancy diapers.
Once they get bigger and the contents start getting...bigger, then spend more on better diapers.
This is solid advice. If you buy a cheap one and use it so much it breaks, you'll know you use it enough to warrant a nicer one.
If Norris doesn't give the spot back to piastri, then it would be more clear that Oscar should play the support role.
Any other government employee would be fired for this. They would be fired for the appearance of doing something like this.
Sounds like someone needs garbage in their front yard
