  • Given that Boromir died after three arrows, and Faramir lived after two, we can safely conclude that it would have taken at least three arrows to kill him.

    Therefore, Faramir is at minimum as tanky as Boromir.

  • No, CO doesn't. That's why it's so dangerous.

    The human body only has receptors for a build-up of CO2 in our bodies. We can't tell if we have a lack of oxygen, so any odorless gas in large enough quantities will kill you without you knowing. Hypoxia looks the same no matter what the cause is.

  • Not one single judge in this country would sign off on this.

    States don't have the obligation to help enforce federal laws, but they also don't have the right to hinder the feds from enforcing their own laws. That's what the whole deal with "sanctuary cities" was all about- telling the feds that those cities weren't going to spend one dime of their budgets to help arrest immigrants, but they couldn't legally stop ICE from showing up and doing it themselves.

  • So you will believe a rumour based on nothing

    Says Tesla. You're a fool if someone saying "nuh uh!" is good enough for you. Especially when its the reputation of the WSJ vs. the reputation of Tesla.

    won't believe the board of directors denying said rumour unless they sue?

    Tell me you know absolute dick-all about corporations, without telling me you know dick-all about corporations.

    I'll give you a hint: what do you think would happen to the stock price of literally any company if the board confirmed they were ousting the CEO before the CEO was out? My dude, your native Australia has a better chance of eliminating every single venomous critter on that island than any corporate board admitting that. And that goes double for the single most overvalued stock on the planet, whose price is driven solely by the hype man's promises.

    So yes. If and when Tesla sues the WSJ, and wins that case, then I'll believe they were right. Until then, I'm going to treat them like the lying Nazi-enabling shit car company they are.

  • Government communications must be archived.

    The head of each Federal agency shall make and preserve records containing adequate and proper documentation of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, and essential transactions of the agency and designed to furnish the information necessary to protect the legal and financial rights of the Government and of persons directly affected by the agency’s activities. 44 U.S. Code § 3101.

    By using Signal, they're intentionally breaking the law since Signal doesn't retain communications. The only conclusion that can be drawn from this is they don't want a record so they can't be held accountable in the future.

    If republicans control both houses, why don’t they approve the app or change the law?

    The simple answer is that this wouldn't pass the Senate, because the filibuster still exists (for now) and you need 2/3s vote to end debate and hold a vote (called cloture). It's unlikely you'd get the 15 or so Dems needed for this to happen.

    The complicated answer is that Congress has been perfectly happy ceding more and more of its authority to the Presidency for a long time now. When you're elected for a two-year term (as Representatives are) but spend 1+ year campaigning (because seriously, fuck US elections) you don't want to do anything that even the short-term-memories of American voters might remember. So they're perfectly happy letting the President take the blame for anything if it's their party in the White House, or obstructing him if it's not.

  • Didn't you hear? Trump's administration is redefining "full self driving" for Tesla:

    Consumer Reports noted that under the new rules, vehicles with advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot will not need to report crashes using the system unless it involves a fatality, an injured person requiring hospitalization, a pedestrian being struck, or an air bag deployment.
