they've somehow shoehorned prediction markets into some other legal definition where it isn't gambling.

It's no different than Uber and Lyft being taxi services, but somehow they've been shoehorned into something which isn't a taxi service.

However, it was Obama and Biden that laid the groundwork for the war against Ukraine

This site needs to filter out AI-generated nonsense. It's both hilarious and annoying to have these hallucinations posted.

It's especially annoying when the AI can't be bothered to do the slightest bit of research and read The Budapet Memorandum. We know AI can't understand what it means, but it could at least scan it into its database.

Even if we have to shove it down your throat.

There's always someone to bitch over something so trivially insignificant.

How is it historic when it's the government doing what it should be doing: protecting the population from toxic substances?

Considering all the time and effort and money these people have thrown at lawsuits against the EPA, against regulating toxic chemicals, against regulating industry in general, the only thing historic about this is the how high their hypocrisy has climbed.

I am presuming from the display of the debris. If something from the outside hit the satellite the debris pattern would be more conical in shape. Whereas, debris from an explosion, such as in this case, would be more spherical. Debris would radiate out in all directions.

Which brings up another point. Assuming an explosion which radiates out in all directions, depending on the force of the explosion, some debris would go to a (slightly) higher orbit. Space may be big, but now there is another piece of shrapnel to contend with when launching satellites.

The same people who steal music, software, and videos now want others to pay for their work.

Delivery vehicles are small.

They were in the process of being replaced with larger vehicles, most of which would be electric. The postal carriers who got to the drive the new ones raved about how comfortable they were, how large they were, and importantly, had air conditioning. I said were because his Orangeness wanted all the vehicles removed even if meant paying a $1.5 billion penalty to clear everything out.

Fortunately, Republicans tripped themselves up because the bill they put this provision into needed a 60 vote majority, not a simple majority. Needless to say, no more of these vehicles will be purchased.

Alcohol isn't good for our society, so let's ban it. Neither are cigarettes. Neither are Doritos, Tostitos, or any other itos. Same with chips. High in fat and cholesterol. Certainly they aren't good either. While we're at it, let's ban cocaine, methamphetamine, ketamine, marijuana and all other such drugs.

Sounds like Aldi. When they have a "sale" (5 cents off is not a sale), the paper tag is red.

"50% of Consumers Prefer Brands That Avoid GenAI Content"
LOL. Too bad. That's not what the future has in store.

It's not depressing. It's hilarious. They wanted to stick to the libs, and here we are. That they were too stupid to understand what was going to happen is fully on them.

As the saying goes, actions have consequences.

If they drive a Surbaru or a Honda CR-V, yes they do. Under no circumstances do they drive the speed limit and if they go down short hills it is guaranteed they'll put on their brakes.

In Israel, about the only thing which will put you in jail is killing the Prime Minister. Not raping prisoners until they bleed, not stealing someone's home from under them, not being filmed driving a bulldozer onto another nation's land and killing a citizen.

In fact, the Israeli army will even help you destroy someone elses crops.

As for Haim going to jail, not gonna happen in any situation.

You have to understand, these are the same people who cheered and supported soldiers who raped a prisoner which was caught on video.

Those same soldiers had the charges dropped against them because, according to the court, "the video did not show abuse violent enough to merit a criminal conviction and had been improperly leaked to the media."

So there's your answer.
