Ever notice how folks throw disclaimers like "I AM NOT A LAWYER" or "THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE" on anything approaching something close to legal advice? To the point we have acronyms about it?

There's a reason for that...

To be fair, the OP *did* indicate "burn the oil companies to the ground" was the preferred option....

That's the approval for the drilling project itself, not the lease. According to the article, the thing "forcing Biden's hand with legal action and costly fees" was the lease....

From your link: "ConocoPhillips acquired the first Willow-area leases in 1999". Clinton was president in 1999....

The part where it tied Biden's hands with legal action and costly fines....

Because the article says it's the *lease* (approved by Clinton) doing that, not the project Trump approved...

From the summary:

It's this way with most banks: if someone knows where you bank and has your account number, they can usually deposit into your account without your input. Same with Paypal, Zelle, etc...

There's not usually a lot of security for *deposits* into accounts, since most are more worried about money coming out rather than in...

Here's the thing: unlike Apple's usual tactic, Facebook didn't tie the Oculus *exclusively* to their ecosystem. You can use it with things like SteamVR or random Unity games downloaded to your PC. Your Oculus/Meta headset is not limited to *just* what you buy from Oculus/Meta...

(Also/supposedly in Aug 2022, the Facebook account part is going away. You'll need to create a seperate/specific Meta account for device management/purchases/etc)

If all Apple did was force you to create an iCloud account, I doubt it'd be a problem. But unless Apple wildly changes their entire business model, the Apple VR headset likely won't run anything except Apple-approved apps purchased directly through Apple's store unless you're willing to void the warranty...

If vista/mastercard is "thieving" by applying a 3% fee for every transaction, then wouldn't SWISH also be thieving for applying a 1–3 SEK fee per transaction in addition to a yearly fee?

How exactly did SWISH solve the thieving practices?

Not quite: The Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly that the right to anonymous free speech is protected by the First Amendment. A frequently cited 1995 Supreme Court ruling in McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission reads:

The tradition of anonymous speech is older than the United States. Founders Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay wrote the Federalist Papers under the pseudonym "Publius " and "the Federal Farmer" spoke up in rebuttal. The US Supreme Court has repeatedly recognized rights to speak anonymously derived from the First Amendment.

Drug addiction still existed, and was described in detail by Tasha Yar. TV hadn't completely disappeared, given that Lt Paris would host a movie night on Voyager. Picard has sworn on-screen in TNG, using the French word for "shit"...

I'm confused: when in Voyager did they specify that Seven was exclusively homosexual? Last time I watched, "Seven is still learning about sexuality and romance" was a key theme right up to the end of the series...

Nope. They killed everyone off in the first episode of Season 2, with Q throwing a wrench by the end of the episode. Kind of like when Q got Worf and Wesley killed in his little Napolean fantasy, and Riker used Q powers to bring them back. So not something new...

Glad I could clear that up for you...

You mean like the TNG episode where all life in our galaxy failed to evolve because the same ship in 3 time periods scanned a particular patch of space, creating an anomaly that grows backwards in time?

It's not. Federal age limit is the same as alcohol: 21 years old

Glad I could clear that up for you...

Your comment is less than 280 characters. Why did you bother typing if you had nothing to say?

"And so the tale of confessions and executions went on, until there was a pile of corpses lying before Napoleon's feet and the air was heavy with the smell of blood, which had been unknown there since the expulsion of Jones."

"When they had finished their confession, the dogs promptly tore their throats out, and in a terrible voice Napoleon demanded whether any other animal had anything to confess."

You mean you don't bring in your own washable mesh bags for produce? Seems like a rather simple solution that's been around for quite a while at this point...
