I don’t think Tarantino directs this show

Tennessee lawmakers pass bill to allow armed teachers, a year after deadly Nashville shooting

APNEWS.COM

---

Tennessee Republican lawmakers have passed a bill that would let some teachers and staff carry concealed handguns on public school grounds.

 

over/under on how long it takes for a teacher to kill a kid

Or a kid who wouldn't have had a gun otherwise to jump a teacher from behind, take their gun, and start shooting.

About halfway through AEW Dynasty, the heat on Jericho is insane. I don’t even get it, he’s been sticking to mid-card and trying to give younger talent spots. The chants during his Hook match, though: “go away”, “please retire”, “fozzy sucks”  jfc

I'm unconvinced it will be all that big. Better get some playtime in now before all the trolls change the game.

I thought it was doing a lot to the pawns? Either way, I think the only day this week I’d be able to play is a little bit tomorrow. I have a LE seminar I’m teaching this weekend that’s hopefully going to turn into a federal contract.

@Spork3245  curious on how you are liking this?

I made a character then decided to wait for that major patch coming in the next week before actually playing. Seems like a lot of big changes, plus I probably would’ve only wound up getting a couple of hours in this week anyway

Clearly you rubes are forgetting Tesla is a TECH company and not a CAR company 

During the call Elon literally said that “Tesla should be valued as an AI and robotics company, not a car manufacturer!”

OK - that's not quite what I had in mind for the exclusivity agreements so it's a misinterpretation on my part.

 

Yeah - I see no issue with a vendor/customer exclusivity agreement of the type you described as long as it doesn't run afoul of the various aspects of anti-trust.

Unfortunately, that’s the type of agreement I had lawyers tell me are classified as non-compete and warned that the FTC may eliminate them making any contract null and void.

Substantively, exclusivity agreements do appear to be the same as non-competes, but the FTC rule doesn't specifically address them.

I think exclusivity agreements are fine, which is why I find it odd they get lumped with non-competes. For a business (especially a small business) it allows them to enter into an agreement with a larger or important party and not have to worry about that party/business also working with a competitor. However, once that agreement has ended, there certainly shouldn’t be any amount of time where one or both parties can’t move on to business elsewhere. 

Does this also eliminate "exclusivity agreements"? Lawyers I've spoken with in the past have lumped them in with "non-competes"

and even for stuff as simple as sandwich shops if I remember correctly.

Subway allegedly does or used to do a non-compete.

WWE: “Dammit!”

Someone on ResetERA pointed out that this is gonna hit the WWE hard - as well it should!

 

However, there's little doubt in my mind that this will eventually end up in front of SCOTUS as a "major questions doctrine" case.

Every WWE wrestler is suddenly a "senior executive"

I feel like the big new lore drop is pretty lame honestly. It doesn't ruin anything, but it really feels like they dropped the ball on that one. And like, after The Outer Worlds, I thought for sure I'd never see that godawful shitty trope in a Bethesda product.

 

Spoilers and overall thoughts

Spoiler

  Hide contents

Like, fuckin' really corporations bad? A-fucking-gain? God, it's so lame. It's shit like this that gives me no faith in future Bethesda Products.

 

And did the Vault 31-32-33 really not seem that bad to anyone else? Like, in what world is that a reason to kill yourself over? Like, maybe I missed something, but it pretty much seemed like a "normal" vault.

 

While I'm sure it will be explained, Moldaver just existing for over 200 years for no reason feels really lame at the moment. The actual ending was underwhelming as well. I think Kal said it felt small or something and I really agree with that. I feel like the ending to that quest should have been a bit more grand or something. You can tell it was a Bethesda Product cuz the ending was similar to Fallout 3. Only it is Energy instead of Water.

 

AND REALLY WAR NEVER CHANGES?!?!?! BRO JUST STOP. PLS BRO. BRO PLS. We don't need it anymore.

 

And so, if Vault Tech nuked America, did they nuke the rest of the world? Does the rest of the world have vaults? Is everywhere else more fucked or less fucked since they may not have Vault Tech? Like, I would be funny if only America was a wasteland and the rest of the world was just fine. I mean, why would they want to come to America?

 

And we'll see what happens, but Thad turning into maybe-a-ghoul seems really fuckin' weird. Like, there was a potion of ghoulification this whole time? Like, huh? What? It feels so random and out of place, like, I'm not sure what to think about that whole thing with the chicken-fucker doctor.

 

 

But overall it's a fantastic show. Worthy of a watch. Feels exactly like Fallout 3. I like Fallout 3. 9/10

I don’t believe this was really a new lore drop, it was more-or-less already established in the games lore going back to the first 2 games afaik. Also, “war never changes” is the tagline for the games, it’s like “with great power comes great responsibility” in Spider-Man

What did change with the lore:
