belong with the group in the second panel. I love Star Wars and I’m also very critical of how much it reuses concepts and content across its (mainly film, but in other mediums occasional as well) catalog. There’s a whole fucking galaxy of shit out there – approximately 50 million populated worlds and 100 quadrillion sapient lives in known space alone (according to the EU, so take it as you will) – and we see like two dozen planets and one family in the movies. It’s frustrating.
Years after the U.S. began to slowly emerge from mandatory COVID-19 lockdowns, more than half of older adults still spend more time at home and less time socializing in public spaces than they did pre-pandemic, according to new CU Boulder research....
You’re just plain wrong. A sample of 7,000 against the whole US adult population only provides a margin of error of just over 1%. Hell, you need the representative sample to drop to 350 panel members to get the MOE up to 5%. If you’re going to post comments about experimental design, maybe understand basic statistics and statistical modeling before type something dumb.
The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit. The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.
SCOTUS rarely (like ultra rare) gets involved in technical economic cases – they don’t have the expertise and single-issue cases which don’t present a Constitutional question are beneath the Court. Cases like this go to judges who have experience in the details of antitrust actions and are well-versed in the economic and marketplace analysis required by the type of action the DOJ is bringing here.
This is the correct answer. A New Hope and Return of the Jedi are quite good as well and Rogue One is amazing, but Empire stands alone at the top and it’s not close.
No clean hands here. The whole situation is garbage. The particularly salient point is that Israel, as the nation-state actor and a liberal democracy is expected to act more responsibly and with a higher moral character. Bibi’s a trash human being, but the longer this goes (and has gone) on the more and more of the culpability is shared by everyday Israelis.
Cop should at least be facing reckless endangerment, if not attempted murder.
The review board found his conduct was not reasonable; so, it’ll be up to the prosecutor (which I’m sure in FL is an office eager to go after cops). The other officer, who began shooting after the officer wearing the bodycam in the OP began shooting, was found to have acted reasonably.
Essentially, you can’t think an acorn is a bullet and get away with shooting at a detained and secured civilian. But, if another officer on scene thinks, even unreasonably so, that an acorn is a bullet and starts shooting at a detained and secured civilian, you can too. If this doesn’t make a lot of sense to you, take that as reassurance that your critical thinking remains, at least partially, intact.
The Republican leader told POLITICO that his critics “had their shot” already. But conservatives are not done whacking him over the immigration-for-Ukraine aid implosion.
GOP voters have turned over the last two decades from a traditional type of elector, who casts votes and lends political power to a candidate for something. The average GOP voter in 2024 is voting against something. These things they oppose are often imagined or maliciously designed and when real, are almost always dishonestly portrayed in scale and scope.

The official policy on Hamas was to just sort of ignore them in favor of stealing land in the West Bank.
Not quite, Bibi’s official policy was to continue actively undermining the Palestinian Authority so that Hamas was the only group capable of seizing power in the vacuum of Gaza.
I mean, definitionally Hamas is the aggressor here. The force Israel has traditionally employed in response is nowhere near proportional or responsible, but they have rarely been the inciter in large-scale armed conflicts.
Bombast and hyperbole don’t win you arguments or minds on topics like this. Let the atrocities of Israel’s violent apartheid speak for themselves, free of embellishment.
Because it’s not best in class and is made by nonunion labor? Honestly, even without the shitty dumbass owner, I’d never buy a Tesla because build quality and QA is shit tier.

There isn’t one. The latitude isn’t the only reason either; the jet stream over the Atlantic moderates the European climate. Meanwhile in places like Minnesota and Buffalo you oscillate between -30°F with 48” of snow in 24 hours in January to 100°F with 90% relative humidity in August. If construction were poor and insulation was substandard, people would die.
Most of Europe doesn’t have a/c for the same reason a lot of Seattle and SF don’t — it’s never been necessary.
