Well, yes and no. Candidates can opt-out of that public funding. Obama did exactly that (he was the first to do so), as did Trump.

Gosh, it's been at least... 9-10 hours. I read for fun most nights.

But this story is nothing new - we've been hearing about it for at least a couple decades.

ICE has been given instructions to guarantee Musk is on that rocket.

It just goes to show you... you do not want to piss off the Ents!

Unfortunately, right now I feel like I have to treat any FBI "report" with an exceptionally high degree of skepticism. Which is too bad, since I'm sure there are still plenty of good, professional people in the rank and file...

And Max Headroom did this 20 years before that... or perhaps it was 20 minutes into the future?

Well, one could argue the French influences on English were less "borrowed" and more "imposed".

These naysaying nattering nabobs of negativism just need to get with the program, shift some paradigms, let collaboration flow freely (in person, of course), and start giving 110%!

Guinness is overrated.

Heck, most Irish alcohol is overrated.

Some people are just never satisfied!

That's why I took off the tires and just drive on the rims everywhere.

Yup - the Atlantic even carried an article about that.

I think whomever came up with the concept is a genius.

Making the CPU attractive to gamers by juicing up the level 3 cache was probably an intentional design + marketing decision.

It's basically a year to a year and a half off people's life expectancies, from the heat alone.

Although this is not trivial, the antivaxxer movement will likely chop 10-15 years off life expectancies and greatly reduce quality of life for much of the remainder, same again for the expected massive reduction in air quality that will result from modern political movements, and the absurd puritanical movement in the US will likely chop another 10-15 years off the life expectancies of women.

These are, therefore, substantially more significant, although politically impossible to deal with right now.

I fully expect that, if current trends prevail, by 2040, life expectancies will resemble those of the Neolithic and Bronze Ages.
