This assumes the marginal voter is marginal because they are disinterested and uninformed. What if they are marginal because they’re old and have low mobility or poor and it’s hard to take off work?

I’m very curious what “calculations” the ai did to come up with those numbers.

Ra’am said they’re open to it.

Snowbirds take their Florida plates to New York not the other way around.

The same way they do for buildings: with a key that first responders have. Schools, office buildings, large apartment buildings will have a bypass key that first responders have.

It’s indoors. Why would cables be rusting? Winds are no more a problem than for any office building.

Nice. I was going to guess MCM6

What plane are you in that can hold altitude at idle?

Mimshot

Why not just ask your question?

Because it’s not a coin flip. The house wins 52.6% of the time. Over thousands of spins that adds up.

Current is the flow of charge. It could be electrons, sodium ions, or any number of other charge carriers.

Agree with your take that school shootings are a very small slice of gun violence. Your claim that most gun murders are committed with illegal handguns is misleading. The actual statistic is that they are illegally possessed. All of these situations count as “illegal guns” under that framework despite all involving legal purchases: someone who legally buys a gun and subsequently becomes ineligible, someone who legally purchases a gun and then provides it illegally to a family member, someone who legally purchases a gun and inadequately secures it resulting in it being stolen. Are there policies you’d support to reduce any of those channels?

No way to report an ad?

Watching surgery videos won’t qualify you to perform surgery. Watching Claude write rust won’t qualify you to write rust.

Somehow he managed not to take out a light

Has the child ever resided in California? Did you move to Idaho or did the father move to California? Was it before or after the kid was born?

In addition to some other very good technical answers about runway grooves and tires the pilot matters here as well. You’re very much still flying the plane through most of the roll out. You might be hydroplaning initially but you keep the plane straight with control surface input the same way you do when you’re not touching the ground at all.

Licensing isn’t the issue, it’s liability. Doctors and nurses need to carry malpractice insurance. When police lose a lawsuit the city pays. Make the officers (and their insurance that theyre required to carry as a condition of employment) indemnify the city. Insurance carriers through their own self interest will drop risky officers and effectively police the system.

It wasn’t just the money though. If you wanted a new album you had to get in the car and drive (or worse ask your parents to drive you) to the mall, then go to a record store, try to find the album, hope it’s not sold out, but it, then drive home before you can listen to it. Or you can type the name in to Napster and play it through your computer in a few minute.

While Napster was certainly hurt by lawsuits, in the end it wasn’t lawsuits that ended mp3 sharing, it was iTunes.

18 USC 1343

> Whoever, having devised or intending to devise any scheme or artifice to defraud, or for obtaining money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, transmits or causes to be transmitted by means of wire, radio, or television communication in interstate or foreign commerce, any writings, signs, signals, pictures, or sounds for the purpose of executing such scheme or artifice, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both

It’s illegal because the wire fraud statute is written to be very broad. Using telecommunications services to fraudulently obtain something of value is illegal. He devised a scheme “for obtaining money … by means of false pretenses [and] cause[d] to be transmitted by means of wire … signals … for the purposes of executing the scheme.”

I’d be shocked if he’s within the H/V curve of that thing.

Those data charts are crazy. GS showed off scale high until 100’ above the runway.

An otherwise very fast learning student struggles with both power on and power off stalls, routinely “recovering” before the stall actually happens. What’s wrong and what could you do to fix it?

Even for neurotypcal adults it’s kind of passive aggressive.
