Enemy of the United States Law and Legal Definition
According to 50 USCS 2204 [Title 50. War and National Defense; Chapter 39. Spoils of War], enemy of the United States means any country, government, group, or person that has been engaged in hostilities, whether or not lawfully authorized, with the United States;
(3) the term "person" means
(A) any natural person;
(B) any corporation, partnership, or other legal entity; and
(C) any organization, association, or group.

I think it indisputable that Russia has engaged in hostilities e.g. cyber warfare, possibly including kidnapping our citizens under color of law.

In the US, those sorts of solutions are considered Marxist conspiracies to overthrow democracy.
The incoming administration is all about killing off as much of the safety net as possible - they will not be adding anything to it.

QE indicates that there is plenty of physics out there about which we have barely a clue and which we don't understand.
QE seems to demonstrate faster than light action at a distance.
So, faster than light may not be the obstacle it appears to us to be.

Per George Box, “all models are wrong, some are useful”.
Our current and past models of physical reality have proven quite useful.
However, we know our current model is incomplete, at best.

Like many, I am certain life is, was, or will be out there.
Is there any smoking gun evidence?
Not yet.

The AI hype will make the coding hype look like kindergarten...

The above is no exaggeration.
In the USA, as a criminal defendant, you get as much justice as you can afford.
Unless you have committed a heinous or otherwise high-profile crime, the government is not going to spend a fortune going after you.
A middle class defendant may be able to afford a successful defense, though they will likely be destitute after it's over.
You went bankrupt paying for your defense and being found Not Guilty?
Sorry - no compensation - that's just the price of justice - at least you're not in prison.

A working class defendant? Get measured for your orange jumpsuit now...

As a civil litigant, you get as much justice as you can afford relative to the opposing party .
Against a top 1% mega-corp, the common citizen is toast.
Unless the PR people prevail, this guy will end up with something between nothing and chump change.

Ukraine itself may not be 50x more important than Israel, but stopping Putin's push to restore the Russian Empire is 100x more important.

Do you remember Crimea in 2014?
The world just grumbled at that - that was the Sudetenland in 1938.
Does Poland 1939 mean anything to you?
That is Ukraine today, along with the actual Poland and the Baltics in the not-too-distant future.
Do you want to go down that road, again?

In the 1930s, America was rife with people who thought we should leave the rest of the world to its own troubles.
There were substantial numbers who believed authoritarianism was the future and were supportive of Hitler and Mussolini.
Are you one of them?

You might check with the Sioux, Mayans, Aleuts, et al.
They'll report the country changed a lot.

This is likely just another example of the past, current and future reality of trying to wring a bigger buck out of whatever investors can get their hands on.
I don't begrudge the original developer cashing out.
At some point, it's just time to move on.

So how far are you willing go with letting "nuclear powers do whatever they want"?
I'm guessing you will not bat an eye at Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Are you willing to give up Poland and the rest of the old Eastern Block countries?
That is Putin's stated goal...
I am appalled at the chicken-shit appeasers - especially those in what has become the American Putin party - who have forgotten what happened last time the world shrugged at naked aggression.
I don't think Putin's General Staff is crazy enough to go nuclear over Ukraine and an order to do so would be the end of Putin.
Further:
Taking "nuclear powers do whatever they want" to another place:
France remembers well what the world went through last time this happened.
I don't think France will embrace continuous nuclear blackmail as their future.

Surely everyone can agree, corn should never be used in the making of flour tortillas!

Roe v Wade did not make new law from whole cloth.
The ruling recognized the extent to which our individual sphere of privacy is protected by Common Law, whose concepts underpin our constitution.
Our Enlightenment founders took the notion of individual privacy as self-evident.
Since the USA established its constitution, more than, 150 countries have explicitly referenced a right to privacy in their own.

Congress did not have to pass laws to create our fundamental freedoms.
They have stepped in to insure those freedoms when States have decided to compromise them out of religious, racial and other forms of animus.
The backlash against the Enlightenment continues to this day.

New cancer cases will continue as before.

If you don't base your health care choices on what politicians have to say, your chances of survival, or even remission, will rise appreciably with this technology.

If you believe the likes of Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., you will be more likely to die.

Austin, traditionally, was the only city in the state you wanted to live in if you weren't in the oil business or a religious conservative.

This was because Texas used to actually be a Home Rule state - Texans were big on local independence.

Under the Abbot/Paxton regime, that has changed. Austin has become a target in their ongoing culture war.

Austin has had limitations imposed on it by the passage of laws that don't name Austin, but whose criteria for cities to which these laws will apply seems only to fit Austin. Home rule regarding extraterritorial jurisdiction, annexation, land use, and other quality of life matters have been imposed by the state.

Austin did not request DPS troopers, the governor sent them - just as he has sent DPS troopers to the border as part of the Republican culture wars. Our local schools suffer due to what is popularly known as the Robin Hood recapture law. Half of the school taxes collected here are redistributed by the state to less "property rich" school districts. If there is money left over after the redistribution, it is retained by the state rather than being repatriated to the district that paid it. Austin routinely is over-collected.

At the governor's request, the legislature passed a law prohibiting any additional clean energy production in Texas. They don't want to have to pay for the infrastructure to bring it in from far west Texas when you can build a gas plant in the neighborhood.

The Texas Republican Party platform calls for a sort of "federalization" of Texas, in which amendments to the state constitution would be voted on a county by county, winner take all basis. Around 50 of the 254 counties account for 73% of the population. The 27% of the population living in the other 200 rural counties would have absolute control over our constitution.

Parts of my family have been in Texas since before the Civil War. The Austin branch of my family, composed of old-school liberals and center-right conservatives, has been living in Austin for 50 years.

Between all of the above and the count of 100+ degree, rainless days (for which the burning of natural gas is completely unrelated, don't you know...), we are making plans to get out.

I played cartridge games on a VIC 20 with my kid around 1980 or so.
I also played board games with friends that required dozens of dice rolls each turn.
I knew nothing of computers, save that my Dad was an IBM salesman in the 50's (punch cards).
I noted that when the VIC started without a cartridge, it came up to what I now know to be a command prompt.
Someone told me you could program it using BASIC.
For some unknown reason, my then mother-in-law had a book titled something like Programming BASIC for the TRS 80.
I managed to write a program to roll an arbitrary number of dice on the VIC with the TRS 80 book.
I had to come up with a lot of workarounds...
It saved hours of time and my buddies were impressed.
The rest is history...
