The Utah Attorney General's Office says marrying a laptop is not a constitutionally protected right, particularly if it's less than fifteen years old.
Responding to a quixotic lawsuit that aspires to undo the US Supreme Court's recognition of same-sex marriage, David N Wolf, Assistant Attorney General of Utah, contends that being denied the opportunity to marry a laptop does not qualify as a rights violation.
"Simply put, marrying a laptop computer or multiple partners are not rights protected by the Constitution," Wolf says in his motion to dismiss the case.
Plaintiffs Chris Sevier, John Gunter Jr, and Whitney Kohl last year sued the State of Utah, arguing, "If individuals who self-identify as homosexuals are given substantive due process and equal protection rights to legally marry, then the plaintiffs are constitutionally entitled to enjoy those same rights afforded by the 14th Amendment."
With these claimed rights, the plaintiffs say they want to marry as they see fit. In their complaint, Sevier is described as "a machinist, a person who desires to marry an object" and Gunter and Kohl are described as polygamists who want to marry multiple people.
Their line of argument in legal parlance is known as arguing in the alternative. It involves advancing a separate, possibly contradictory, line of argument, to show that their primary argument – for undoing legal recognition of same sex marriage – is the only logical outcome.

By pursuing unions with a laptop and multiple partners, the plaintiffs seek to suggest that permitting same-sex unions allows anybody to marry anything, as a way to make same-sex unions socially untenable.
"Plaintiffs' real objective, therefore, is not to obtain marriage licenses for unions they themselves see as unlawful and unconscionable, but rather a desire to restrict homosexuals' right to marriage," Wolf states in his filing.
Nonetheless, Wolf dispenses with Sevier's claim that being denied a license to marry his laptop in Utah amounts to discrimination based on his sexual preference for machines.
A laptop computer is not legally capable of entering into a marriage because it cannot consent, as required by law, Wolf argues.
And even if the laptop could consent to be married, "unless Sevier's computer has attained the age of fifteen it is too young to marry under Utah law," Wolf states.
This is Sevier's third bite at the Apple, so to speak – or fourth if you count his 2015 lawsuit against Apple for his porn addiction. He filed an initial complaint seeking to marry his laptop in February, 2016, which he dropped June, 2016 following Utah's motion to dismiss. He filed a second complaint the following month, and after being told by the court that the complaint failed to follow procedural rules, he filed a third version in May, 2017.
For the third time, Utah is asking the court to dismiss the case. Beyond observing that marrying machinery is not a constitutionally protected right, Wolf states simply that Utah's courts don't have the authority to overturn Supreme Court decisions.

I don't know OP, what else you do with your pc?
HP Elitebook 8770w, for 500 dollaroos.
is that a good price? really want a laptop with a numpad and full HD, the size is a plus too.
also everything is more expensive where I live.
Due to the terrible listing standards on the website it's listed on, I don't know the specific specs, but it has a 2.7 ghz processor, and 32gb ram, so I assume it's a higher end version.
dont get that, its a slow piece of crap.
outdated hardware from 2013 in a crap build of a laptop

The question still stands. Do you honestly believe China isn't data mining fucking everything? The US mines the governments it is allied to, for fucks sake.
Does anyone here have any experience setting up/networking a large amount of Antminer S9 ASIC miners? I'm planning on purchasing and running many of them. Any links to in depth guides would be appriciated

CPUs:

I want the lower chipset power usage compared to X370.

Fucking meme cpu

>>60806714
I thought it was just me, my 6700k will do an extra 400mhz and after that it's not stable and the required voltage shoots up past what would be safe.
Between that and trying to figure out the few dozen overclocking related options in the BIOS (which aren't named the same even for boards from the same fucking manufacturer, and of course aren't described in any actual detail) I gave up, it's not worth it for a piddling 400mhz.

Does anybody know the difference(s) between the two SKX007J's being offered here?
https://www.skywatches.com.sg/reviews/seiko-skx007j1-automatic-watch.htm
https://www.skywatches.com.sg/reviews/seiko-automatic-200m-divers-watch-skx007j1.htm
The only differences I notice are:
In the second link it says it's 41mm vs 43mm in the first and that it has a "solid oyster" bracelet vs the "oyster" bracelet?
What are the differences between the two bracelets?
I thought all SKX007's were ~43mm so why did they write it's 41 in the second?
Anyone know? Pic related is the second one (41mm, "solid oyster")
>>60806724
that's weird because the skx007 comes on a jubilee.
