He’s just mad he’s not getting a cut.

Great spot to hang out and watch the world from!
My cats have that cat tree with the bag/bed and that three-way tube toy as well. They love them both. Brownie is appropriately spoiled.
Maybe more like the drive that Solomon Epstein started with in the novella, The Drive, but with fission instead of fusion. I don’t think it would be any good for a manned ice-hauler trip out past the belt though as that would face the same problems that a trip to Mars currently faces.
On the other hand, if such a drive could get a crewed ship to Mars in two months then it should be able to reach the outer planets in a reasonable time with a much larger payload than we can manage now. We might well be able to send large robotic probes to the moons of Saturn and Jupiter like the ones we’ve sent to Mars and get there in months instead of years.
Yes, what we call the speed of light is really the speed of light in a vacuum. When light passes through a medium like water or glass it travels slower. That causes the light to be refracted which means that it changes direction slightly based on the energy of the light (color) and the refractory index the material. Glass will refract a red laser by a certain amount while water will refract it by a different amount.
Fun fact, because different colors refract differently, when you shine a white light through a specially shaped piece of glass called a prism, you will see a rainbow pattern.

That would be nice. That way if Trump kicks in office we’ll have our first female president and she’ll be perfect for the GOP. After all, it was their lord and savior, Saint Reagan, who said “Someone once said that politics is the second-oldest profession. I’m beginning to think it bears resemblance to the first.” By that metric she is well suited for Republican politics.
“The most pressing problem is not that they’re [AI] going to take our jobs, not that they’re going to change warfare, but that they’re going to destroy human trust. They’re going to move us into a world where you can’t tell truth from falsehood. You don’t know who to trust. Trust turns out to be one of the most important features of civilization, and we are now at great risk of destroying the links of trust that have made civilization possible.” - Daniel C. Dennett
In a few years you will not know what is true or false unless you see it in person with your own eyes. Even video and audio proof are going by the wayside.
No they wouldn’t. Upper management wouldn’t know where or if you were buried. They wouldn’t even notice you were gone except for the single line item in the accounting ledger showing where the dead-peasant policy payout was entered.
I have crossed a road at a run to beat an approaching car before, and had I been struck it definitely would’ve been my fault for not practicing proper safety.
I’m with you on this, however, the speed of the cop is an issue. At three times the speed limit, an approaching car would reach you much faster than you would expect it too. This girl may have glanced, seen the cop in the distance, and never realized how fast he was going. Frankly, if an emergency responder if taking an action this far outside the norm, they should also be taking great care because innocent bystanders cannot be expected to anticipate the responders actions.
Some pig in Florida emptied his gun into a neighborhood…
No, its’ better than that. He emptied it into his own squad car. And in a real tribute to his training, he never even hit the handcuffed suspect he had inside the squad car.
Damn straight. If you go to Wisconsin and try to pass off any of that Kraft, individually-wrapped, processed cheese product as actual cheese, you may just get your ass kicked. It’d be like trying to pass off the piss they drink in Wisconsin as beer to a German.
You missed where it says they were recording and singing too. If you pay to go see a musical, your don’t want some no-talent bint in the seat behind you screeching along with the songs. In addition, you don’t want an ignoramus in front of you holding up their phone to record it for their social media page. Plus, they were warned multiple times and kept it up.
Nonsense. It’s a job like any other. Stop projecting your morality on everyone else. She didn’t do anything wrong at all. She didn’t hurt anyone. You have no right to judge her.
We hope. There are a frightening number of Trump supporters still in positions in our government that could end up backing a second insurrection. Look at all (literally all) of the Secret Service messages from on or about January-6. Oh wait, you can’t because every single agent erased their phones and the servers on which those messages were stored. An that was after they were told to retain those messages. How many people still in positions of power would, either discretely or overtly, support a second insurrection?
I can’t say for certain that all right-wingers are integrity challenged, but it sure seems that way. It’s almost like you wouldn’t be right-wing if you weren’t already lacking in integrity. Then again, maybe it’s the other way. Maybe people have to sacrifice their integrity in order to support right-wing positions.
Ah, an insanity defense. Bold move.
There’s more than one reason that Biden changed secret service agents when he took office.
“No provision in the Constitution gives them the authority to regulate the Supreme Court—period,” Alito told the Journal.
This dumb shit really should read the Constitution.
Art III.S2.C2.6 Exceptions Clause and Congressional Control over Appellate Jurisdiction
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
Congress absolutely has, per the Constitution, clear authority to regulate the SCOTUS. How’s this for an exception. The Supreme Court shall have no Jurisdiction in any case where any member of the court has a conflict of interest or even the appearance of a conflict of interest and refuses to recuse themselves?
The vast majority of felonies should not be a bar to holding public office. What if you had a felony conviction for possession of weed? Should that bar you from holding office or should you be allowed to run for office to try and change an unjust law?
The only crimes that should bar one from office are the ones that already do under the 14th Amendment, under which Trump should already be ineligible. He swore an oath to defend the Constitution and then participated in a conspiracy to violently overthrow it.
I’m sure they are also pretty effective for people with more nefarious uses for them.
