"these construction companies aren't doing a very good job at gardening, we need to add more requirements and rely on then even more for the solution"
Lol.
Maybe you oughtta put requirements on property owners to have a certain amount of trees per acre? Pretty sure they wouldn't hire roofers or electricians to take care of said trees, and you'd end up with a lot more gardeners doing the gardening... Just a thought :)
"student punches another student and gets suspended"
I don't see any victim blame whatsoever here... Why is your comment in the negative? There's something unspoken behind conversations like this and I have absolutely no clue what exactly that is...
I understand the downvotes for comments along the lines of "there's two sides to any argument"... I understand the victim blaming aspect of that, but "the bully got suspended"? I'm missing something...
Very rough Google math (mostly because of "fuzzy" answers on the energy required and how you define space) suggests that the 1980 Mt St Helens eruption had enough energy to orbit three billion kilos...
I based that on the eruption being rated at 24MT, which converts to 100b MJ, and a minimum of 30MJ/kg being enough for orbit. Didn't find a straight answer on escaping the gravity well, could be way higher.
That doesn't seem right to me, but that eruption did, in fact, move the entire top of a mountain a pretty silly distance, so as ridiculous as it sounds, it could be accurate? I mean... 500 billion KGs of ash was spit out of it...
That's the most terrifying thing I've ever googled i think. I feel like I don't actually want to know the actual math on this. It's fucking plausible dude.
Shuttering their central bank and converting to dollars... Meaning they aren't actually getting rid of a central bank, but are rather converting to a foreign central bank.
Ya know... Maybe they really did have phenomenally low COVID numbers this whole time due to their aggressive lockdown policies. Maybe they "flattened the curve" very effectively, to the point that the main surge got pushed out this far.
That's like saying we should all drive faster to help identify shortcomings in traffic signals or vehicle safety features...
Sounds like a flimsy ass false pretense to chase profits. Just my opinion, mind, but that doesn't sound like something someone would posit at face value.
Kickback thing is kinda a reason to keep the ads tbh... Plenty of docs will 100% insist that the best med for something is whatever brand is plastered all over their calendar, calculator, desk toys, office decorations, etc...
Having ads kinda gives people options their doc wont mention because kickbacks.
Republicans will take all measures possible to reduce the number of votes, because they are more likely to lose when people vote. It’s that simple.
How is it that simple, exactly?
Logically, it doesn't make sense. That's not how statistics work. Increasing sample size at that scale does effectively nothing whatsoever.
Anecdotally it doesn't make sense at all. I'm reasonably sure in an anecdotal sense that it's the exact opposite... We live in a county of 3k people. The polls are within 20 miles of exactly 240 of them. It ain't exactly convenient to vote in rural areas. If you made voting magical and 100% mandatory, you're gonna get a massive bump in rural votes, and guess where those votes will go. The "leave me alone" type is more likely to be a Republican vote, and the "activist" types are more likely to vote Democrat. It all heavily suggests that what you're saying is a just an incredibly well-established and accepted myth.
If you flip to the dark side with that logic, it defies the countering myth just as readily. The myth that voter fraud favors Democrats... I'd assume fraud is probably a hell of a lot easier in rural areas. I could, personally, as an example, on election day, give you a by name list of dozens of people who won't go to the county office to vote. It's too far, they work 40 miles away in the opposite direction, they got 12 hour shifts with an hour commute on each end and there's just no way in hell they're gonna double that commute. An unscrupulous individual in a rural setting has far more ability to fudge some votes, and guess what those votes will be... Those votes would also be more countable. It won't be dead uncles and aunts, it'll be actual registered voters.
I'm not buying it, not from either side... I believe what you're saying is in fact the bona fide motivation, for both sides, but I think the assumptions behind it are total vaporware. They've been sold a bill of goods, and they're making continued payments on it...
They supposed to pass a law that says "businesses can't be shitty"? That's rather subjective...
They're after live nation for two reasons... One, because monopoly, and two, because live nation made the mistake of using the term "fees" a little too capriciously and started looking like an alphabet agency.
Government don't want anyone horning in on their monopoly on fees, now do they? If those "fees" are in fact even remotely legit, then they ought to be going into uncle Sam's pockets... Ya know?
"padded his own pockets with campaign money, falsely reported personal loans to his campaign and failed to properly file his financial disclosure forms."
Is this all the dude did, or is it like the trump shenanigans where this is all that they can get to stick, but there's probably a lot more...?
Several people were shot Friday at the New Hampshire state psychiatric hospital, police said.
State police said there were “multiple victims” in an alert released via social media late Friday afternoon. Further details weren’t immediately available.

That was it... That was the whole article, verbatim...
EDIT - they're editing to add actual details, so I'm ok now :)
Karate Champ. I probably spent hundreds of dollars on that game and never got past the third match, and don't have the slightest clue what would make a round kick score a full point or a half point... You could come up with strats that usually worked, but nothing ever worked reliably... Mortal Kombat you could come up with strats that would 100% get you double flawless, but it's grandpappy would toss all manner of randomness at your ass and fuck you up pretty reliably :)
The separation of church and state doesn't require a separation of faith and state. Separation of faith and state wasn't Jeffersons point...
The house comes to consensus on all sorts of shit, often based on faith, while being composed of members of a variety of churches. Been that way for centuries, and can continue to be that way. The first amendment doesn't prohibit government from making laws based on faith or faith based values. It prohibits government from making laws respective to a church.
Which is all to say that Johnson bringing a bible to the dais is questionable, and boeberts assertion that the church should direct the state is flat out wrong.
Government can have faith and religion. It's always had faith and religion. Jefferson didn't advocate that congress be staffed by atheists, he advocated that it be staffed by people of any faith or religion, because the first amendment says exactly that. That was his point...
No, those always red votes are always red votes... Im talking swing states.
Imagine trump is on the primary ballot in CO, and he wins easily. Then, in direct defiance of the primary voters votes, his name isn't on the general ballot, and the name is instead a distant second place runner up.
The optics of that are that the blue tam stacked the deck. That they have a thumb on the scale. The fat grey area waffly voting bloc that makes a swing state a swing state will be incentivised to vote against the stacked deck. Vote for the runner up, the second best, generate a stalemate and hand it off to the house, resulting in the stacked deck losing.
If a swing state leaves off trump, the popular vote could easily end up going to "stick it to the libs"... The very act itself of disallowing a major name could easily sway voters in that direction.
The sort that would vote trump will vote for "not biden" under whatever name you slap on there. They could literally run mickey mouse and pull the electoral if people understand that they'd be handing the matter over to the house by doing it, because the house is a trump win (I DO NOT share the authors opinion that this would be a contest or conflict... Without a 270, I believe the house will very quickly hand trump a victory).
Disallowing trump is gonna generate "red no matter who" sentiment, and it's blatantly obvious that the voting public can and will go for that. I think kicking trump off a select few ballots could easily end up backfiring.
This is clearly and overtly a decision intended to protect the ability of government to conduct warrantless searches by purchase or subpoena of third party information...
An equivalent tech that would put text messages of government personnel into corporate hands would be labelled a serious threat and addressed with specific legislation.
