Ok but I actually want to know what the plan was. Why not Australia? Somewhere more easily accessible.

There's no way a fishing boat could possibly reach Canada. It doesn't have enough fuel or food / water.

Lots of politicians are cowards. A few candidates confronted Biden and were completely destroyed in the primary.

It's incredibly selfish to hurt the overall party goals (climate change, healthcare, increasing taxes on the wealthy) just to help your personal career.

How were they planning to get to Canada from Sri Lanka in a fishing boat?

Compare this to the only current alternative. Do people think that trump is ever subject to unapproved questions? Fox and others only throw softballs. He didn't even answer the questions in the debate. Biden did and I learned more about his policies.

Current news media acts like it values facts and reasoned discourse, but it really likes ratings and advertising. I don't care what the "editorial staff" has to say anymore. They're not fair-minded independent journalists; they're literally paid by advertisers. They might as well put product logos all over the WSJ and the NY Times.

They're not that different. Democrats and Republicans are just coalitions that are already formed. The actual party organizations in different states are run very differently, with different priorities. The Democratic Party in MA is not the same as the Democratic Party in Texas.

Nuh uh

But that's just a guess. It's not necessarily true. You're just saying "simulations might be possible, therefore they are definitely possible, therefore we are likely in a simulation".

That's not logically sound. You can replace "simulation" with "God" and prove the existence of God similarly. It's just a guess.

It's not that. Anti-Trump media makes a buttload of money wringing their hands and saying how bad he is. He drives ratings.

People stopped listening to him after he screwed up COVID. Plus everyone was tired of his antics after 4 years.

Fuck the media. This is your future here. Don't vote for Biden. Vote for better Supreme Court Justices, better laws, better executive orders, and less corruption.

Did you forget the first and biggest one?

All those athletic scholarships are paid for by the sports teams. It's free money for the university. And the football team funds all the other sports, so a lot of football money goes to the university as tuition for an out-of-state soccer player or something.

Plus who do you think the sports teams pay rent and facilities fees to? The university who owns their facilities. The teams are non-profit so football has little incentive to save money.

An Ivy League education is an expensive luxury product for the parents. That way they can brag to their peers about their children. It's well known that the main benefit of an Ivy education is networking. That's because of the connections that the parents have, not because the education is better.

With the exception of maybe Princeton or Columbia, top research isn't coming out of Ivy League schools. And the good research they do have is because they pay the top people more. They don't have smarter students, they just have more resources.

MIT isn't an Ivy. Cal Tech isn't an Ivy. Stanford isn't. UC Berkeley and University of Michigan definitely aren't.

It depends on the school.

Most fans don’t realize that not only do athletic departments pay the university market rate for the tuition, room and board of its student athletes, but also the upcharge for out-of-state students.

At nearly one-third of the schools I polled back in 2012 for my book, the university took a specified percentage of each donation made to the athletic department.

At many universities I polled, the university and athletic department split licensing revenue 50/50. So, even if the sweatshirt sold in the bookstore is specifically branded for the football program, that money is divided between the university and athletics.

A real solution is to require every single employee in the company to review these videos equally. If the Executive Leadership Team experiences this once, the issue will be fixed. Probably by banning repeat problem users.

The west will now have to make a judgment on whether to help Pezeshkian or maintain the blanket of sanctions due to the continued escalation of Iran’s nuclear programme, and its support for Hezbollah in Lebanon and Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

Iran is enriching uranium at near weapons-grade levels and maintains a stockpile large enough to build several nuclear weapons, but does not yet have the warheads or missile technology.

It is also providing Russia with drones for use in Ukraine. Pezeshkian’s second foreign policy adviser alongside Zarif was a former ambassador to Moscow, Mehdi Sanei.

He will only have an impact on sanctions if he takes meaningful actions to stop nuclear enrichment. That's the main reason for the sanctions. The drone supply isn't helping either.

Trump was conducting a nuclear test in his pants during the debate. You can hear the explosion.

“A group of men walking on the other direction made a comment to me. My girlfriend, Tori, said ‘hey that’s my girlfriend,'" MacLean told CTVNews. “They continued walking and Tori followed them to basically say: ‘That is not OK’.”

Don't ever do this, no matter who you are.

This may shock and amaze you but...

there is more than one user for your product. If you don't know that, it sounds like you either haven't done a user survey or you haven't created the correct user profiles (based on that survey).

Creating a "perfect UI" without asking users what they want is not good UX. It's just masturbation. The user survey tells you that people want A B C, etc. and in which order. You should know exactly how your changes are going to be received when you release them.

Imagine a restaurant that doesn't ask you what you want. Instead the chef tells you "This is the best food possible" and just makes what they want. That's what developing without a user survey is like.

Anything that's "30 years away" is essentially not going to happen. Quantum cryptography will advance faster than the ability to break it because there will be more money behind it.

Does trump plan to shit his diaper live on camera again?

They're not going to come without their family. And their family isn't all doctors and nurses. That policy isn't going to work if their husband / wife can't join them or can't work in the country. A lot are doctors from the EU. They don't need to come to the UK to make money.

So you're telling me that people in the UK want lower food prices, but don't want to be part of the EU common market. And they want more doctors and dentists, but less immigration.

Is there an epidemic of mental illness? Do these people know what cause and effect are?
