  • Screw waiting for an election. If the SC states that a sitting President is immune from law, the current President should simply point this out to everybody (so we're clear here) and cancel the upcoming election. Leave plenty of time for the SC to backpedal so the elections actually do happen, but then Trump can be prosecuted.

  • Get your coworkers to join you in using the nearest fast food restaurant whenever you need to use the restroom. When management sees everyone constantly cycling through the front door, they may get a clue.

  • You know what would really cement his election? A USO-style tour of the front lines! The drones troops love that!

  • Better than using a movie to lure in the bad guys. Hear me, Inglorious Basterds?

  • Geez people, It's not like Mentats grow on trees.

  • Yet another pathetic attempt by Republicans to get people to show them their junk, "So I know how to address you."

  • I hope someone can ELI5. I mean, we're told that sunlight/etc we see is 8 minutes old - it took 8 minutes to get from the sun to the earth. The radiation, light, etc all travel at the speed of light, neither slower nor faster.

    If we can see anything on the sun, it happened 8 minutes ago. It's not like we're looking out over a Kansas field and see a tornado coming.

    Further, there's this from a quick Google (while attempting to answer this question myself), from Oct 13 2023:

    "How much warning do we have for solar storms? So it should come as no surprise that a team at NASA has been busily applying AI models to solar storm data to develop an early warning system that they think could give the planet about 30 minutes' notice before a potentially devastating solar storm hits a particular area."

    So how are we getting a notice one or two days in advance here? Is the sun currently ejecting matter into space, intersecting the place in our orbit we'll occupy tomorrow (or the next day)? Or is this like predicting a volcanic eruption, basing it on other observable behavior?

  • Great source! Phrased differently - can't build a cistern without a permit - but they are certainly painted as right a-holes about it. Thanks for the source!

  • Just hope it wasn't bought by that Jurassic Park guy. Napoleon Island has already been done.

  • Replaced by AI. Nothing to see here...

  • Was it the one where they did the thing, or the one where the thing was gonna happen?

  • You're right about Hamas deserving annihilation. I can't help but wonder if there isn't some hope that the Palestinians themselves would turn against Hamas and assist in their demise. Is that not a thing?

    Edit: I understand this idea might not be a good one, hence the downvotes, but that doesn't explain why not. The "good" Palestinians must outnumber Hamas, right? Seems they could eject the assholes, make peace with Israel, and end this. If they don't want to, then how are peace-loving Palestinians different from Hamas? Explain, don't just downvote.

  • He should ask that question of Hamas leaders, too. "Do you accept responsibility for failing to anticipate Israel's response to your terrorism?". Bring a Ouija board, though.
