Then again, he didn't issue 'pre-emptive' pardons for his family, friends, crackhead son, etc yet,

The only reason Biden issued those pardons was because Trump was bragging about how he was going to weaponize the DOJ to go after people.

As for the clemencies, that does not absolve the person of the crime they committed. All it does is show mercy on them.

Compare that to all the January 6th terrorists who have been pardoned. And now there's talk of paying them for their troubles. No, not the $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund*. There is still talk of paying these people for their crimes.

* Anti-weaponization is straight out of Orwell. Or the Soviet Union. Take your pick. Apparently imprisoning people who attack police aren't criminals in his eyes.

Yes, Lenovo had this feature. They were called the Yoga.

if expense is the concern, don't buy a mac book

Fixed it for you.

Reminds me of that post (quoting from memory) where a guy says the reason he needs to own a gun is because if his child needs an operation, no one's going to stop him from going to Italy where it's cheaper.

When someone builds a company and new product, they are creating wealth. The companies he owns are the net worth.

The only reason he has these companies is because of socialism. He has received billions in taxpayer money to keep his companies alive.

Side note, the same federal agency doling out taxpayer money to him is the same one he targeted under DOGE.

Double side note, Musk whined about another stimulus package after covid, while taking an unknown amount of money from the U.S. taxapyer during covid despite his company being worth $270 billion at that time.

For a slightly longer version of the amount of money the socialist has taken from the U.S. taxpayer, read on.

Yeah, and Russia deliberately targetting train stations, hospitals, maternity hospitals, schools, apartment blocks, churches, and a whole host of civilian sites is perfectly good.

If you're a soldier invading someone else's country, you should expect that country wil do whatever it takes to repel you. You're on their territory. Killing you is their job. Striking anything that supports the war effort has been done for centuries. You think the Allies didn't bomb German factories, oil depots, railheads, or other such targets?

Get a grip.

Killing people invading your country is a war crime? You Russians really are drunks.

Still better than removing a liver rather than a spleen.

My father has been locked out of his email account since last month. Multiple calls to support and now a second ticket for support have gone nowhere. They're a bunch of script kiddies repeating the same things over and over and never listening to what is being said.

The issue is on AOL's end, but they refuse to acknowledge it, let alone do anything.

Based on this experience, no way I'd buy company stock. With that kind of bad service, people will be leaving.

If air is leaking out, is it not possible to do an EVA and try to see where it is leaking on the outside? Wouldn't the air freeze once it hits space? Yes, I realize there is the issue of what would carry away the heat, but shouldn't they still see something, even if it's a pinhole?

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.

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.

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.
