They aren't being forced. They're doing this willingly and enthusiastically.

Joke's on them. Nobody has the attention span to watch multi-hour videos anymore.

I was hoping at the bottom of the article it would say that Professor Utonium accidentally added Chemical X.

The fines should be proportional to actual damage caused (ie: 100% coverage of any interest on loans, any extra spending the person needed to do in consequence, loss of compound interest, damage to credit rating along with any additional spending this resulted in, and any medical costs that can reasonably be attributed to stress/anxiety). It would be difficult to get an exact figure per person, but a rough estimate of probable actual damage would be sufficient. Add that to the total direct loss - not the money that went through any individual involved, and THEN double that total. This becomes the minimum, not the maximum. You then allow the jury to factor in emotional costs on top of that.

In such cases as this, the statutary upper limit on fines should not apply. SCOTUS has repeatedly ruled that laws and the Constitution can have reasonable exceptions and this would seem to qualify.

If a person has died in the meantime, where the death certificate indicates a cause of death that is medically associated with anxiety or depression, each person invovled should also be charged with manslaughter per such case.

Now if they were to engineer in some harmaline/telepathine and put it into a tomato you could make some very special marinara sauce.

Why stop there? Most modern cuisines use tomatoes, giving you lots of possibilities. How about a adult-grade version of catsup or salsa? Or, if you prefer, tex-mex chili with a new type of kick to it?

Well we know you are lazy Commie trash

Sure. Just a reminder, back in the old days, before the NLRB forced owners and unions to negotiate in good faith... Factories and warehouses burned to the ground during labor disputes, people were beaten and killed.

And for all of you out there who think that that's exaggerated, take a look at the Ludlow Massacre with its body count of approximately 21, mostly women and children.

If you dig deeper, you'll find that AMD originally reverse engineered the *8080*, not the 8086. The two companies had entered into a cross-licensing agreement by 1976. Intel agreed to let AMD second-source the 8086 in order to secure the PC deal with IBM, who insisted on having a second source vendor.

There would have been no Intel success story without AMD to back them up.

(That actually would have been for the best. IBM would probably have selected an non-segmented CPU from somebody else instead of Intel's kludge.)

No, we were involved in blowing away members of the NVA who were invading the Republic of South Vietnam at the time. Much of the time we were using reverse slope trajectories to hit targets on the backside of a mountain, and once to the backside of the second mountain back. Our ship had a very good reputation with the spotting planes giving us the locations of targets.

Hmm....over the years, I've had several girlfriends report loss of appetite after trying to watch a lot of Monty Python with me......

It is something to do with 2 X chromosomes...?

If we have a draft today the level of resistance will cripple the country. Nobody will tolerate the Government pulling that. That move could break the country.

Yes, and I give him full credit for that. And please note that the reason we don't need a draft now isn't because there's no more conflict but because there are enough men and women willing to serve their country without it.

I was on what was then called a Destroyer Escort (Later changed to a Fast Frigate to fit in with NATO.) doing shore bombardment on the Gun Line for the most part. Our ship was targetted by counter-battery twice; once at night when I was sleeping, and once in the daytime when I was the one who reported that there were 6" shells landing about 30 yards off our fantail.

I suggest:

First offence: Have to watch CSPAN for 5 hours a day, for a week, without sleeping through it - evidence to be provided in court

Second offence: Have to sing Miley Cyrus songs and Baby Shark on TikTok - sober

Third offence: License to practice and all memberships of country clubs and golf courses revoked

Trust me, most of us came back without any long-term mental issues. The stereotype of the unhinged 'Nam vet was created by leftist journalists and writers to give them something to point at when they wanted an excuse to make anybody who didn't march in lock-step with their leftist beliefs look evil. Do yourself a favor and take a good look at their propaganda and you'll see for yourself how phony it is.

There are no victims here. I feel zero sympathy for anyone involved with any aspect of this.
