They should ban those for anything that’s not restorative.

The Alliance Defending Freedom video tapes a sermon by a preacher specifically violating the rule and send it to the IRS, trying to bait them into applying the rule because they are confident SCOTUS will declare the rule unconstitutional. The IRS never takes the bait. They’d rather have the appearance of a rule than no rule at all. As it is it is mostly self-enforcing on most congregations.

All i would say is they should have provided 2fa if they didn’t.

At this point, every company not using 2FA is at fault for data hacks. Most people using the internet have logins to 100’s of sites. Knowing where to do to change all your passwords is nearly impossible for a seasoned internet user.

There would be no penalty in this case. The law prohibits enforcement against the mother and activities that take place outside of the state are also not enforceable by Texas. The exception is if someone drives her to the state line for the purpose of obtaining an abortion or gives her money while both are situated in the State of Texas, although interesting would be a case where one is in Texas and the other isn’t, bringing up the interstate commerce clause.

Texas allows medical exceptions. I have not yet read why this case did not qualify for the exception. Presumably because the court did not agree the mother’s life was at serious risk? Has anyone a good read of the court’s ruling?

Virtually no laws are enforceable unless there’s a defining moment whereby someone becomes a person. Likewise, all laws regulating processing the dead and donation of organs are thrown into limbo without legal definitions of when a person is dead.

I’m out of the loop. Why is this happening?

Russian military expressed fears over the actions of Ukrainian partisans operating in occupied territories. The Ukrainian resistance movement is gaining momentum, leaving Russian military forces on edge.

According to Russian soldiers, Ukrainians have been engaging in various acts of resistance, including delivering poisoned food, planting explosives under collaborators’ vehicles, and providing intelligence to Ukrainian reconnaissance units about the presence and locations of occupying forces.

Very likely these conditions are mostly existing audits of resources and rules for pressuring Ukraine to remove corrupt persons from the supply chain. It is a way to save face while giving what needs to be given to keep Ukraine out of Russia’s hands.

Hamas doesn't have the capacity without Iran. Iran has occupied a power vacuum created by the US from the US policy in that region.

This conflict doesn't exist in isolation. This is part of a larger geo-political struggle with the decline of US influence in the region being taken-up by Iran. Much of this could have been avoided if the US never invaded Iraq. If only I had a time machine…

I could see someone like the UK send in military ships for "civilian de-mining operations" that leads to also being used to escort civilian ships. Seems like a great way to up the level of support without going to war.

The article makes it sound like Ukraine is using small ships that hug the coast to get grain to Romania where it can be more freely shipped to markets. Is this correct?

Blokada on Android is the best. Get it from the website, though, not Google Play. Even though it is there, the website version is better.

I live in Kansas, where the cost of living is relatively low compared to the rest of the country. 1st year officers make $59k. They best paid officers are paid $89k. Plus very good benefits.

The Dutch have government-paid public (secular), Catholic, Protestant, Islamic, and Jewish schools. All the way through University level. Yet the Dutch seem to be capable of holding on to their secular liberal society.

Michael Kofman has been consistently wrong since the start of the war. I wish everyone would stop listening to him and write him off as a hack. Anders Puck does a good job outlining Kofman’s arguments about Bakhmut and then shows why those arguments are not entirely reasonable with the biggest reason being the brave defense of Bakhmut lead to Wagner exiting the war, taking out the most effective Russian force in Ukraine, and illustrating a certain fragility to the Russian reliance on military contractors.

If you want Budgie, give Solus a try. It is an easy to maintain system, is rolling, stable, and independent.

Does this mean that I’ll be able to get temporary containers on Firefox Android?

Half the year, yes. Ukraine uses Daylight Savings. Russia does not.

I’m confused about why RIF still works on Reddit. I thought Reddit killed 3rd party apps.
