arguing that the founding fathers wanted faith to be a “big part” of government

No they didn't. They came from a nation where the King was head of State and Church. That was literally one of the things they absolutely DID NOT want in the next form of government.

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between Church & State.

— Thomas Jefferson (1802)

There needs to be an understanding that many founding fathers of this nation wanted religion to be between themselves and their chosen god. Because there isn't a "establish religion within Government" that's what foolish people think it always ends as "Government establishing religion".

Like we could have Members of Congress that establish laws and participate within the marketplace they have created, come win or lose. However, we know that instead Members of Congress manipulate the market solely for wins at the loss to others.

If Congress cannot help themselves to be greedy when given a free market, what makes anyone think that they won't outright dictate religion if given the chance? And the answer is, they wouldn't. That's why there is a separation. Given the chance, if enough Baptist got into power, they would absolutely outlaw Catholics.

The Founding Fathers weren't idiots. They absolutely held tight to the "power corrupts but absolute power corrupts absolutely." Any time a government is handed the power to mix religion and law, that law turns into dictating religion. That's why there is a separation. So we don't have to go Salem Witch hunting folks based on which definition of the Trinity they hold to.

They all think this moment of peace between the various Christianities will just last until forever, not realizing that the reason there is this peace is because all of the various flavors get treated equally. Change that equation and we're right back to the 1600s where we've got one cult trying to murder and outlaw the others.

These idiots have zero idea what they are clamoring for. They think their team, should the equality barrier get taken away, will be the one that wins out. And it's likely that enough zealots exist that Speaker Johnson would be burned at the stake for some odd reason his version of God isn't the correct one. Or even worse, Speaker Johnson's version get outlawed so it'll be legal and cool to burn him at the stake.

Like how bad does one have to fail at history to not understand this point?

Actually it looks to be a regulatory grab.

The legislation mandates that any entity looking to sell lab-grown meat in the state must obtain future authorization from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, allowing the department to adopt rules governing the use of lab-grown meat in the state.

Likely they want to pose a different tax on lab meat than other meat. Doing so usually is to provide a method to pander to farmer votes later on down the road. It's like the reason things like corn subsidies seem to just never go away.

So this just looks like the person is creating a new card for the deck of cards to be played during elections. But I guess "woke" can be in there too if that plays well to his base.

The government’s main witness, Sidney Powell, just cleared Rudy Giuliani from any involvement in a conspiracy by making it unequivocally clear that Rudy Giuliani told her that he would never work with her on anything, under any circumstances

Because not working with one person is the same thing as precluding literally everyone on the planet.

This is talking about household formation. Basically, the rate at which a population creates people who will demand housing. How they obtain that housing is not a data point. It's just basically a question of "do you want a place to call your own?" Which is why this article is so full of shit. It's basically indicating that "if millennials just stopped demanding housing, prices would go down."

So if a millennial is sitting there in their parent's house and going "fuck this, I'm getting an apartment", that's increasing this value. They don't actually need to buy a house, they could rent it, that would still be forming a new household.

It just begs the question of what the fuck is this author trying to get at? Should millennial's parents have been fucking less? Should millennial's just build a single house commune? Should millennial's just start offing themselves? This article is a giant pile of boomer bullshit.

to tweak a chicken gene that is responsible for producing the protein ANP32A

The authors identified two other related proteins, ANP32B and ANP32E, that they think would prevent virus replication

Yeah you cannot just keep taking out Phosphoprotein 32 from an animal. It's literally used widely by the body (human and chicken) to prevent tumors from growing.

For broiler chickens, which live only eight to 12 weeks before they are slaughtered, the health effects of gene editing may not have time to manifest

This is like that modern problems require modern solutions meme. Chickens developing cancer too quickly? Just kill them off faster. I mean, I guess that'll technically work, I leave the ethical discussion to the vegans out there. But yeah, hauling out ANP32's various families, you're going to get chickens that have a lot of knotty meat.

But laying chickens are kept commercially for two to three years

CHUCKLES Oh yeah, you absolutely could not do this for them. LOL. That would be an unspeakable horror.

This disease is so prevalent and so important that any strategies that we can bring together to help protect the health of the birds is, in my view, very good

And she's not wrong. Avian flu isn't some shit we need to be playing around with. It's something we should be taking an active role on. I'd vote perhaps better facilities for housing the chickens and better care compared to the conditions most chicken live in today, the vegans might indicate dropping chicken altogether, and these folks have a "creative" to say the least, way of tackling it. There might be some middle ground somewhere in there, but the more important thing is we really need to get on top of this avian flu bullshit and I, for one, am open to ideas that aim for that goal reasonably.

You're right, it's 18 USC § 922 (n) that covers the other way around.

(n) It shall be unlawful for any person who is under indictment for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce any firearm or ammunition or receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.

I totally got ahead of myself pasting the related law. Thank you for your keen eyes.

18 USC § 922 (d)(1)

(d) It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person, including as a juvenile

(1) is under indictment for, or has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year

For those wondering.

EDIT: This is incorrect. It is 18 USC § 922 (n) as indicated by my reply to @Neato and thanks to them for pointing out my error.

I’m also nervous about using an OS I’m not familiar with for business purposes right away

Absolutely STOP. Do not go with Linux, go with what you are comfortable with. If this is business, you do not have time to be uncomfortable and the learning curve to ramp up to ANY new OS and be productive is something that's just a non-negotiable kind of thing.

If you've never used Linux, play with Linux first on personal time. For business time, use what you know works first and foremost.

All OSes are tools. You do not just learn a tool when your job is waiting for a bed frame to be made or whatever.

TL;DR

If you are not comfortable with Linux, do NOT use it for business.

Game recognizes game my dude.

Without yet another amendment, how exactly does the Assembly, the legislative branch of Ohio’s government, intend to strip jurisdiction from the Ohio Supreme Court, the judicial branch of Ohio’s government?

The State’s Constitution establishes the jurisdiction for the high court and separation of powers prevent tampering.

I’m a Linux user. I prefer compiling my own sexbot.

Here are the answers you're allowed to choose from:

• I don’t want OneDrive running all the time
• I don’t know what OneDrive is
• I don’t use OneDrive
• I’m trying to fix a problem with OneDrive
• I’m trying to speed up my computer
• I get too many notifications
• Other

I'm going with Other and in the text box I'm telling Microsoft ' SELECT * FROM sys.database_role_members-- and going from there.

It’s obvious. The paperwork in question was for a loan. Everything written in that paperwork is to induce lending.

Yeah we're past the question of was Trump's personal guaranty full of shit. Judge Engoron already established, yes, it was indeed full of shit. The point is to the degree which dictates the State's remedy, and there's like five or six other allegations, I lost count, but those are points the DA is touching on, on the way out here. But the main sticking point is done deal and now we're just measuring how high the pile of shit is. It appears to be quite the impressive stack.

The whole testimony that Ivanka put forward in that she was looking to negotiate a reduction in the asset requirement because she had concerns about the asset requirements. Really hits home that they were all very aware of how for shit the guaranty was towards Deutsche Bank. It's like that SNL skit Coffee Talk, "Trump's personal guaranty was neither personal nor a guaranty! Talk amongst yourselves."

Trump's admission, which mind you the parts I read made me think about that part in the movie The Big Short where he asks "Why are they Confessing?" and gets the reply of "They're not confessing, they're bragging", on the stand the other day just basically showed that Trump attempting to put realistic expectations on his evaluations was just never going to be a part of who Trump IS. It basically establishes Trump as this person who just does not have this "ability to self evaluate in a reasonable manner" and that his goals for inducing lending overrode everything including very clear warnings about not being that level of self destructive.

Basically, at some point, a driver drives through enough signs indicating the bridge is out that it no longer is the bridge builder's problem. That is what all of this establishes for the Judge. The bank lending to an idiot is one thing, but the bank lending to someone who has multiple people vouching for him, but are only vouching for him because he has indicated that they must despite everything that they have told him, is completely different. It stops being the responsibility of the bank after some point.

We all have to remember that since there is no jury in this case we rely on factual findings for what will absolutely be brought up in an almost certain appeal. So the "nice to haves" do matter in that it lays pretty solid groundwork for Judge Engoron to back up what will almost assuredly be him giving the cake to the New York DA to Trump's chagrin.

Speaker Johnson often repeats this mantra in interviews and podcasts; he is fond of quipping that democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what’s for dinner.

Yes, so the entire point here is that; to prevent basically a majority subjugate the minority we have two parts. Fundamental rights enshrined in our Constitution and a Judicial system that ensures least harm. Ohio has indicated an amendment to the Constitution that prevents Government intervention into reproductive health. That is, Ohio has indicated that reproductive health rights deserve the exact same protection that say free speech deserves.

A free society is allowed to dictate what rises to a fundamental right for the people. Additionally, it is up to the judicial system to implement that right in a manner that poses the least harm. If some Christian does not want an abortion, no judge will impose it upon them. That is the means of least harm. But likewise, it means that a Judge cannot invalidate that fundamental right in a manner that causes more harm. Random Christians cannot impose their religious beliefs onto someone else, that is pretty grave harm.

And all these religious nut jobs wonder why their pews are becoming more and more empty? The liberals aren't running anyone out of the church, it's the rapist priest, the abuse of power, and the implementation of other's world views onto those who do not agree that runs the people out of the church.

The biggest harm to the church and Christianity at the current moment is Christians themselves. There's zero evidentiary nature in what they are attempting to do that shows them of some organization that wishes to spread good will. Instead they come off as vindictive and bitter. No one wants to be around that bullshit.

A Republican state representative in North Dakota has urged authorities in Ohio to "ignore the results" of Tuesday's election

So it's an idiot from some other State trying to tell Ohio what and what not to do. Gotcha.

I know my response. ' UNION SELECT username, password FROM users--

Issue 1 covers so much more than just Abortion.

From the ballot:

• Establish in the Constitution of the State of Ohio an individual right to one’s own reproductive medical treatment, including but not limited to abortion.
• Create legal protections for any person or entity that assists a person with receiving reproductive medical treatment, including but not limited to abortion.
• Prohibit the State from directly or indirectly burdening, penalizing, or prohibiting abortion before an unborn child is determined to be viable, unless the State demonstrates that it is using the least restrictive means.
• Grant a pregnant woman’s treating physician the authority to determine, on a case-by-case basis, whether an unborn child is viable.
• Only allow the State to prohibit an abortion after an unborn child is determined by a pregnant woman’s treating physician to be viable and only if the physician does not consider the abortion necessary to protect the pregnant woman’s life or health.
• Always allow an unborn child to be aborted at any stage of pregnancy, regardless of viability if, in the treating physician’s determination, the abortion is necessary to protect the pregnant woman’s life or health.

This is a Freedom of Speech type amendment that centers around a person's reproductive rights. In that this amendment prohibits the Ohio State government from passing any law that restricts a person's reproductive rights except in special cases under strict scrutiny. So this goes way pass just abortion. Additionally, it grants doctors benefit of the doubt protections that would have strict scrutiny bars for the State to overcome, an incredibly high evidentiary bar for the State to overcome.

To just say this protects abortion is really missing the forest for the tree. Yeah, it protects abortion but additionally it protects everything related to reproductive rights (contraception, IVF, etc) and sets a massive barrier for the State to later meddle. This is a massive win for not those seeking abortion but for everyone who cheers reproductive protection and Government non-intervention in such matters.

If the duopoly of our government is enough to convince folks not to vote, they weren’t going to vote anyway and were just looking for a reason.

I don’t disagree with OP, but at the same time, we’ve only got one tool to enact change. So let’s use that tool to get things like ranked voting.

But you’re also right, plenty of folks out there telling folks to give up. All the more reason to not in my opinion.

The hype train derailed.

COVID and MAGA??
