If the rates are similar to other forms of gambling than the majority wouldn't be due to insider information. Edge cases will be, but unless you think they have inside information about the weather, the rates between Polymarket and regular gambling wins are relatively consistent as detailed in the article.

No, you just add a possible range for the result, or rather, that's what you would do if you had standard samples to manipulate with stearate coated gloves and run test after test against to see maximal and minimal levels of contamination when using said tools. Done correctly, this would let you know that anything above the maximum range is almost certain to be from actual plastics.

The only important thing about cabling is RF shielding, and even that's not really important if your setup is more or less standalone. If you have a bunch of different unshielded/poorly shielded RF sources right by your sound setup that's a different matter.

Unless you're hitting stupidly large amounts of Vitamin D it's really difficult to overdose on. Vitamins A and B3 are much, much easier to OD on. Now, if you don't get enough K2, larger amounts of Vitamin D can lead to a dysregulation of calcium in your body, but that that is not the same as vitamin overdose.

Again, they explicitly attempted to interdict the weapons in WR and tried to work with their Mexican counterparts and failed miserably, which were the primary contributors to it being shut down. In F&F they explicitly did NOT inform their Mexican counterparts and no attempt whatsoever was made to interdict the weapons after they were sold.

Project Gunrunner was the overarching name given to Operation Wide Reciever and Fast and Furious. Also the Hernandez and Madrano cases but they were against specific people and not particularly relevant. Operation Wide Reciever was fundamentally different in multiple respects. It was much smaller in scope and there was an actual attempt to track the guns to their destination, including by implanting radio trackers into some of the guns' stocks themselves. It failed miserably and was quickly shut down. Operation Fast and Furious made ZERO attempt to track the guns to their destination, and was over an order of magnitude larger. Moreover, it was only stopped after one of the guns was involved in the death of a US Border Patrol agent. Equating WR and F&F is a fundamentally retarded position.
