Really? Wall street lecturing about leverage after destroying the world's economy eighteen years ago?

The thing prohibiting them from doing it is that the constitution doesn't grant them that power.

It also doesn't say they can't do it.

Even that one with the pig?

I forget what it was called.

Man, this makes me feel just a bit better about spending the last 30 years in various types of tech support.

Fuck sales!

Waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 update with an eeeeeevil Brendan.

Heh, a system designed to parse huge data sets and compare/contrast search strings is really good at compare/contrast searches.

I'm sorry what? Where in the world is this a rule? You stop behind the white line, but up at it

You misread OP's comment. They're saying people stop a car length or more behind the white line rather than putting the nose of their car on the white line, and could they not do that.

How are these people not in prison?

If data that you own is not personal property, then what is it?

This is like saying the words on a page are not personal property, but the paper is. No court would agree to that.

Personal property is anything you own or have possesion of, including intangibles such as stock or copyrights, that is not attached to land or fixed to real estate. Data on a phone falls within that definition. The phone is a physical item you own. It's your personal property. The data within the phone is also personal property, though intangible.

If it's on your phone, it's personal property. If you don't think it is, kindly explain who owns it.

Duuuuude!

If these events occur every 27.5 million years, when was the last one? From that we can anticipate the next one and see what happens.

Since the paper is behind a cookie wall, I can't read it, but I don't see anywhere where the previous event is noted.
