Congress doesn't have these powers.

Yes, they do. Had you ever read the discussions in the Senate about the amendments, you would have known this very subject came up. Unfortunately, his orange lardness has hidden from public view those historical records, so what I'm about to say goes from my memory.

Essentially, if Congress has the power to enact laws affecting the country, it is up to the Executive and Judicial branches to curb that power. Madison, despite opposition to the General Welfare Clause, admitted late in the life that clause granted Congress a power to legislate on all national problems. His nature of limited government was undercut by that clause, for if the national Congress could enact laws affecting the country, it wasn't a limited government, was it?

Further, as mentioned in the debates, Congress could delegate its authority. It would be inconceivable for Congress to be involved with the minutae of the country, to discuss and debate whether this or that is allowed. Instead, as granted by the Constitution, Congress has delegated its powers to others. Namely, agencies such as the FTC.

It's really hard to find these powers in such a tiny document without decades of legal training.

No it's not. All one need do is read the debates in the Senate to understand the mindset of the Founding Fathers. If you want more, reading a few books about those Founding Fathers would suffice to fill your lack of knowledge.

The first season of BSG had to have all that in it. They were just attacked. They had no military to protect them. Their home planets were being nuked. Their government was non-existent. The survivors had to make a run for it without any preparations. They had to figure out how to survive without any backup.

Aside from Apollo's "hack" to fool the cyclons, the first season was strong in what it had to be.

I agree with every word you just said, except one.

This will help the US economy, not hurt it. American businesses paying for a commodity as mundane as Microsoft Office, year after year, is an unnecessarily taxing parasitic drag. If this can be eliminated, all the better for every American.

(Well, except for the ones who own a piece of that one company, but fuck them.)

Ukraine is affecting their daily lives, by hitting their pocketbooks instead of wasting their attacks on "war crimes," i.e. hitting worthless targets which don't help end the war at all.

Murder a civilian and all you do is slightly sour their family against the war. Blow up an oil storage tank and you just made thousands of people have to suffer through inconvenience.

And worst of all, you heartlessly, viciously left them alive, where they'll remember how much poverty sucks, and they'll complain about it too. Good luck achieving that level of sadistic manipulation through mere murder.

2 may, 16 "ukranian" firepoint drones in 3 waves on starobelsk (lugansk) students dormitory kills 21 and injures 41. this is ukranians killing (ex) ukranians, most of them kids. ofc barely reported in western media.

It was all over the media, just like when Russia deliberately bombed a school in Mariupol on March 16, 2022 which had a message it was being used as a shelter. At least 600 people were murdered by Russia.

24 may, russian explicit retalliation mainly on kiev, an exceptionally massive strike involving 100 missiles and hundreds of drones, most of them passing through and hitting infrastructure. civilian casualties: 4 (by worst-case ukranian accounts (unconfirmed))

On March 9, 2022, Russia deliberately struck Maternity Hospital Number 3 in Mairupol, murdering four people, wounding at least sixteen, and causing at least one still birth.

Shall we discuss the murder of civilians in Bucha by Russia? The mass rapes by Russia?

When Russia collapses due to Ukraine's victory, that will be a glorious day for celebration.

In USA, Aedes Aegypti is invasive and new, and it won't be missed. In most places in America, it's been here less than 30 years. Less than 5 years, where I live. I am confident that the ecology of 2026 is plenty compatible with the ecology of 2021.

If some obscure bird species that just moved in 5 years ago can't settle for eating the slower, bigger, less stealthy classical mosquito strains we'll have left, then it can fly back down to Central America where it recently came from.

Comments on here repeatedly say people should only pay for what they use, whether this be water or electricity. Using AI is no different. The more you use the more you pay.

Not sure why this is controversial or surprising.

Of every tv show where a bomb has a convenient countdown clock on it. In the old days it was an alarm clock wired to the bomb, then it was changed to a red digital timer because progress.

Anyone remember the movie V for Vendetta? Conveniently, V's bomb in the control room had a countdown clock so the guy who had no idea what he was doing knew how many seconds he had left.

You might say waiting 2 days for a free delivery is super bad inconvenient,

Only whiners living in their parent's basement would say this. For nearly everything one could buy (excluding groceries), two days is insignificant. If you're in that much of a hurry to get something, either an emergency has come up or you're too stupid to plan ahead.

That might be why a feature exists, or maybe even why a particular paid library was chosen instead of another. That doesn't explain why the code is written the way it was, which is the point of documentation. Why the feature exists is the realm of the PRD, not the design doc.

Each state that gets money in a judgement or settlement, should use that money to make sure their public education system teaches kids how to block ads.

By 2030, I don't think anyone should be able to graduate high school in America, unless they've learned how to be ad-free (on screens under their control; obviously they won't gain superpowers to blank out billboards or the sides of buses).

I'm seeing more and more international boycotts against Israel.

As well there should be. At this point they're not much different than Russia.

Of course if those aren't securities, then the entire site is illegal as it's operating as a securities exchange. That's their legal argument for why they aren't gambling sites, and shouldn't be regulated by state gaming commissions. So expect the full might of all those prediction market sites to be lining up against that argument and for finding him guilty.

Because people who drive by school buses which have their lights on could be the next person to crash into a school bus full of kids.

Make they pay now rather than later.
