So vote

Amazon never could figure out how to make that profitable on it's own

They are so dumb. Every house could use their products, they just need to charge normal prices. Everyone has light switches in every room. Imagine if most new houses came with "Alexa" switches and electric plugs.

They tried to make money on a few hobbyists who could set it up for themselves. They needed to go after the construction market. Charge half of what they were charging and sell a ton to every house in America. It's not an iPhone. It's a basic device to turn on the lights.

I believe this scene is actually making fun of Hitler and the Nazis. Donald has to screw together the artillery shells and salute each time because here are repeated pictures of Hitler on the conveyor belt. He does a poor job.

Remember that Hitler was a politician who actually existed. People made jokes that made fun of him.

The idea is that with the "kill switch" the US Government would take any blame for the shutdown. Right now the Biden Admin and Congress have successfully switched that around so TikTok looks more unreasonable. There's no demand that they "shut down", just that ownership be located where they are subject to US law.

That guy's in Canada. America's hat doesn't get that funding.

Taiwan will receive 720 Switchblade missiles and accompanying fire control systems worth $60.2 million

That's $84K per drone missile. Those are comparable to the ones you mentioned. Also, you quoted the internal Lancet price for Russia. Their export price is $35K (and I feel like you are going to have to wait a long time to get any).

The "Altius 600" is the $1 million one. It's much heavier and has a bigger payload.

Not 100%. Nothing in Statistics is ever 100% because of error. But it's a good guess.

True but what the poster said is important: polls do not work well in close races because they don't sample correctly. The average poll respondent is older, whiter, and more conservative than the average voter. So you end up with a skewed sample. Plus you sample so few of the other voters that you can't make a guess as to what they think.

No younger people answer the phone for pollsters, so this is hard to fix. They are probably going to have to start paying people to answer surveys. I know I won't answer them for 15 or 20 minutes for free.

Does China realize that they don't look tough by doing this? Do you see American Marines beating up Mexican Coast Guard members? No. Because that's what an insecure country does.

What is China doing about Israel and Palestine? Nothing, because the current Chinese government only cares about advancing Chinese interests. They are transactional.

That guy is just repeating what he heard on the radio or from some drunk guy at a bar. He's not putting any thoughts into it.

Besides what you mentioned, there are pre-nups, post-nups, trusts, and other complicated ways that rich families use to protect their assets from gold-diggers. Marriage is a legal contract and it can be modified with other legal contracts.

In a lot of cases, "trust fund kids" don't even own their house or car. It's all held in a trust so no one, not even them, can have it. If they divorce there's nothing to split but some cash and whatever furniture or toys they own.

In practice, I believe the pre or post-nup gives some consideration (money) to the spouse who isn't rich so they won't sue. But it's not 50/50 because the trust fund kid legally doesn't own much.

These are the people that everyone thought wouldn't convict Trump. Convicting a white collar criminal is an easy warmup compared to this.

The real answer is to display all the other hundreds of Jewish laws in the classroom too, in the "spirit of the law". Have a class lesson on Jewish law and its interpretation. Send the kids home asking questions about why cheeseburgers are immoral.

Supply of homes is not dynamic like a factory, it can't respond quickly to prices. Investors will grumble about whatever they want, but the alternative is a time consuming and expensive sale.

Even then those homes don't disappear . If they are removed from the rental market they will just end up sold to the very group of people who were renting them, thus reducing demand. Rents would not move much, although there will probably be more real estate sales than usual as the rental market sheds the lazier real estate investors.

Ukraine used to be part of the Soviet Union with Russia. They have a lot in common culturally. That's why people are comparing them.

This is progress in the right direction, but people's minds don't change just because lines on a map do. But this is progress.

There are no "time cops" because even existing in the past changes things. It's impossible to change the past and return to "the present" that you know. It would be a completely different timeline even if you just observe.

Reminder that Biden is decriminalizing weed:

My friend, the screenshot has blue electricity and a picture of a nebula: two things that do not use quantum effects. This is most likely sensationalized.

Most likely no:

There are already many restrictions on rental agreements. Things that were "normal" before are clearly illegal now.
