Unless there us some characteristic of accretion disk radiation that is particularly hostile to life.

This is Slashdot.

Have the punishment fit the crime. Require that all subsequent filings be prepared using vi.

On second thought, that would be cruel and unusual.

I'm getting too old to till up the garden plot every spring. But keep posting that while the cops are monitoring this board and they come out every year and dig it up for me.

Same friends who will take you out for a snipe hunt at midnight? Just for the LULZ? Consider yourself lucky they didn't hand you a stick and get you to poke the bear.

This is true. So if gambling must be regulated at the national level (due to its on-line nature), the CFTC is as good a place to put it as any. But the whole "keep running or there will be a market emergency" is just pure bullshit. What product or service that we can't do without will be lost should Kalshi be shut down?

Exactly which commodity or asset is being represented by Kalshi? The Commodities Exchange Act was passed to prevent manipulation of commodity and asset markets and prices. And led to the creation of the CFTC. So, what underlying asset market is at risk here? Certainly nothing that by itself could be traded in a market (elections, wars, sporting events, etc.)

I think the Third Circuit Court is wrong.

Somewhere, the ghost of Bugsy Siegel is saying, "Hey! Guys! Remember me?"

I've been making these for years by rubbing the rubber cement blobs off marketing mailers (to keep them from gumming up the paper shredder) and rolling it into little balls.

They cause Koro. A truly deadly disease if you can convince large parts of the population that some sort of witchcraft is the cause and they attack and kill the accused group.

Interesting. When I had a Linux desktop, the company provided Windows application access to engineers with HP-UX, AIX and Sun workstations from NT servers via a Citrix product that would export the NT display/keyboard via X11. So when manglement sent out their periodic PowerPoint missives and expected immediate action, I'd just fire up a Windows session on my Linux display and handle it. The interesting part of this was that my NT access was logged and I could use that number to establish the amount of time I _had_ to use MS apps. A few minutes a week, it turned out.

The other side of this was that all Windows desktops were eventually provided with an X server app. Because most of the company applications and data were hosted on various *NIX systems as Xlib apps (which I had direct access to). The company would have saved money had they put everyone on Linux systems (or thin clients) and let them use the Citrix/NT gateway for the occasional management memos.
