modernpaladin replied to the thread FTC votes to ban noncompete agreements.
I have a 1-year noncompete that only activates if I resign (its null if I'm fired or layed off). I've never had a problem with it.

modernpaladin liked Melb_muser's post in the thread AI wins and flops.
That would be incredible! Not of course to put ideas into doctors' heads (or to replace sound medical advice) but to act as a huge memory bank to remind doctors of what the...

modernpaladin replied to the thread What should Trump's first 100 days in office look like?.
I think some of those are issues that should be left up to the states. The LGBT stuff is really more of a state issue, let The People of each state (or even county) decide how...

"The January 6 hostages" So he was referring to the group. How many are imprisoned for attacking cops, and how many are still imprisoned for merely trespassing?

Lock him up. Sounds about right to me. How much time would he get for pepper spraying a non-cop?
