I do if it's in *my* property. In fact, I have the right to kill a person for trespassing in my property.

Not in the United States you don't - unless you want to spend a dozen or more years in prison.

Take into account this case about precisely that in Mississippi: https://www.mlive.com/news/jac...

Well Tesla pulled the same shit in NY but since the governor is a democrat, itâ(TM)s okay. But when the governor is a republican, itâ(TM)s the worst thing ever.

It looks like the deal was structured a bit better than the one in WI and it's slightly more on track: https://www.reuters.com/articl...

At the base there's something to be said to giving the cash to a US entity vs a foreign entity.

Well yeah I know what they meant, but what a weird thing to say. The judge gave him a sentence, but "would have" considered a pardon? Says who? Did the judge actually say that? Very unlikely.

Given what the judge said, it could be interpreted as advocacy for a pardon:

...

Stadtmueller: This [deterrence] not a matter that ought to be of concern for your court, bc you turned a corner before appearance before bar of justice.

Stadtmueller: one one hand that makes you a hero, on other hand, doesn't wipe out ignobility of conduct. It's certainly to your credit that w/o any encouragement, working for FBI agency or security in England, you stepped up to plate w/o expectation of notoriety.

Stadtmueller: Just as it is important to keep in mind relative age of young person who may not have matured to point of being able at end of day to exercise what parents would say, good judgment.

Stadtmueller: To acquire most important of traits--exercise of good judgment. In very poignant way, you've chosen to be more of an introvert, very circumspect in selecting friends. Wanting to do the right thing at all times.

...

Stadtmueller: You have all of those potentials in a very very unique way. Whether you will be able to exercise any of that in the US, open question, given that sentence may preclude your coming back, in absence of waiver bc of unique skill set or pardon.

Stadtmueller: While court has no pardon power, matter reserved to exec. Truly left for another day.

No windows 10 in Federal prison

Sorry Trump traitors.

Actually, I'm pretty sure US prison computer systems either do make use of Windows 10 or are transitioning to it.

Scientists have now honed in on a potential answer to the seismic waves, the collapse of an underground magma chamber. The sudden movement of magma miles below Earth's surface could have caused the low-frequency waves as the magma chamber began to collapse. The uniform nature of the waves could have been due to "sloshing" within the magma chamber as it was drained or perhaps most of the frequencies were filtered out due to the complex local geology.

They got burned in 2018. It was one of the weakest midterm flips of all time. Typically the midterms flip HARD against the new President's party.

Pretty much, yeah: https://fivethirtyeight.com/fe...

The product has been around less than three years. Does that really qualify as "history"? And isn't every Apple products new update the "most significant in the product's history"? How many times can Apple go to the well with that horseshit?

But... they have animojis now!! Such a breakthrough takes true courage

they built a model of the USS Cyclops, a carrier that went missing in the Bermuda Triangle

Actually it was a collier, a coal transport cargo ship - there weren't very many carriers around during the Great War.

Besides, as the vilest writer hath his readers, so the greatest liar hath his believers: and it often happens, that if a lie be believed only for an hour, it hath done its work, and there is no further occasion for it.

Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect.

Jonathan Swift, 1710

This has been undoubtedly been going on since before the first written word; the only difference now is its apparent visibility.

"Killing these resources to save a few hundred thousand dollars per year is a penny-wise, pound-foolish decision, and your health and mine will be poorer for it," said Dr. Kenny Lin, a family physician in Washington, D.C., who is also on the faculty at Georgetown University's medical school.

Dr. Roy Poses, a Brown University professor of medicine and president of the Foundation for Integrity and Responsibility in Medicine, said doctors "will be losing an important resource for research, education and evidence-based practice."

The prior politicization of the NGC is also somewhat notable:

Underscoring how medical research like that maintained by the NGC can be politicized, AHRQ drew the ire of then-congressmember Tom Price in 2016 when it published a study critical of a drug manufactured by one of his campaign donors. According to ProPublica, one of Price's aides emailed "at least half a dozen times" asking the agency to pull the critical research down.
