Oh I was just making a terminids being bugs pun. It actually hasn’t been that bad for me. There’s definitely been issue here and there, but nothing game breaking for me lately!

True, especially against the terminids.

IMO yes. It’s been coming back since they released a patch like 8 months ago that buffed basically everything. I still wish primaries had more ammo though.

My adult appointment for testing/evaluation was nearly 2 grand. I met my annual deductible in a month because of it. I’m fortunate enough to be middle class, so I could afford it, but I can’t imagine someone making a lower end of middle class income just being able to drop that kind of money like that.

Apparently not really. It already happened with Sheriff Joe Arpaio. This country is fucked lmao.

I mean, a congress member seems to be saying he can. If he “can’t” he’ll do it anyways, it’ll go to the supreme court and they’ll say it’s fine.

Edit: apparently that’s actually part of what Joe Arpaio was pardoned for.

Sure, but the president can (and will) pardon any of them.

I’d imagine it’s not doable because of how quickly they’d develop insane amounts of heat.

Wasn’t Trump literally trying to bring it back last time?

Diesel subs are also different kinds of beasts. They’re terrible for international conflict, but for short range operations, they’re silent. You can turn off a diesel engine, but not a nuclear reactor.

I mean the hardliners were definitely opposed, and Ben Gurion had misgivings.

You’re talking 1947? The wiki article differs unless I’m misunderstanding you.

It’s been a while since I’ve read about this, so I genuinely may be misremembering. Apologies if so!

Yeah, there was actually Israeli terrorism on British government buildings in the region.

Iirc the Israelis were happy with this. Right or wrong, their Arab neighbors and Palestine immediately declared war on them while they were celebrating.

And remember, the courts can’t consider motive, so as long as tariffs are defendable as an official act (which they are) he’s 100% immune. I mean, they found him immune in the Stormy Daniels hush money case, and that was related to campaign finance as a candidate.

For anyone looking for a traditional news publication.

The worst part is that if you’re selfish, you’d think Biden would be better. I miss that 30% increase in my stock portfolio vs the 25% decrease for no reason.

Supposedly traditional ISP’s have tons and tons of lawyers and filed every single step of the way to stop Google from intruding on their local monopolies.

True true, but if there is genuinely quantum randomness, then the reactions those atoms go through aren’t predetermined, so the initial conditions could be on an individual basis, but not the long term.

I never meant to imply it was. I was simply stating that with a hyper advanced understanding of chemistry it’s possible that everything in the universe could have been predicted up to this point by an infinitely well programmed/powerful computer or whatever. Because in my head, that’s theoretically possible, it’s also possible everything is predetermined, not by some grand scheme or designs, but just predetermined by random chance.

Apologies if I’m using the incorrect phrasing.
