Tech company that owned and operated experimental high tech death machine say their regulatory reports were wrong because they are bad at ubiquitous 40 year old tech.

Do you get required side powers? Speed especially requires enhanced durability and strength to avoid injuring yourself when using your power.

It is different because sanctuary rules don’t usurp federal authority. Sanctuary rules prevent state and local authorities from enforcing federal law and cooperating with federal law enforcement for certain crimes which is legal because state and local authorities have no obligation and only a limited ability to enforce federal laws. Texas is claiming jurisdiction in a couple of areas in which jurisdiction is specifically reserved to the federal government, actively interfering with federal agencies, and taking actions that violate federal law and international treaties. Legal passive resistance vs active violent resistance.

Who said it invalidated anything? I figure them still having so much power makes it worse than most people think.

They don’t exercise much power outside of their ceremonial role but they still have a huge amount of power. Everything the UK government does requires royal assent. While only used ceremonially now, the government requires the Monarch’s permission to form in the first place and the PM is appointed by the Monarch. The Monarch has the power to unilaterally dismiss the PM and disband parliament. The last time a Monarch denied assent for a bill was in 1708 when Queen Anne vetoed the Scottish Militia Bill. The last time a Monarch broke convention with the use of their powers was in 1834 when William IV dismissed the Whig PM and cabinet and appointed a conservative PM and cabinet to replace them. The last time breaking convention was publicly discussed was in 2013 to stop Brexit.

I think GOG might be an exception to this, where they will never revoke access to the games you previously bought, but I am not 100% sure of their policies.

They are, when you buy a game from gog they send you the installation files. You install and run it with your own hardware whereas with Steam and other digital gaming companies you are just getting access to the game on their servers. By sending you the installers and letting you play independently from their servers gog gives up the ability to lock you out. It’s the primary reason that they should be the first choice for where to buy a digital version of a game. The upside is that it’s the closest you can get to actually owning a digital copy of a game; the downside is that playing on another device requires that you transfer files and reinstall rather than just logging into a remote server.

I’ve had a canvas Jansport for almost 30 years, I carried it for 3 years in middle school and it’s been a hiking backpack since. If they’re still made the same and you get a cloth one instead of those plastic character backpacks then it should last forever.

I think we read it in 7th grade.

There are bottles now but primarily it is sold as a powder that you mix into a pitcher of water. You can get paper envelopes that make 1 pitcher or a larger container. Some versions require you to add extra sugar.

The US banned leaded gas for all cars on the road in 1996 but we phased it out much earlier. The Clean air act was passed in 1970 which created the EPA. The EPA set standards on how much carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and hydrocarbons cars could have in their exhaust. To meet those standards automakers had to use catalytic converters and leaded gas destroys catalytic converters quickly. Because of this no new car introduced in the US since 1975 has used leaded gas. It was banned about 20 years later to let the old cars be operated through their normal lifecycle. We still use lead on n some aviation fuel.

Science says that there is good evidence that both gender identity and sexual orientation are strongly biologically influenced. There appears to be a genetic predisposition and influence from prenatal hormonal development. There is also a difference in neuroanatomy with transgender individuals brain structure and function being more similar to the sex that they identify with than to their biological sex. Genital sexual differentiation happens earlier and separately from neurological sexual differentiation and there are biological explanations for incongruencies between the two.

In games that have gender based perks, like Agent of Dibella in Skyrim or LadyKiller/Black Widow in the Fallout games tend to be stronger for female characters because more of the NPC’s are male. This is more adding another reason than claiming that it’s the main reason. I don’t exclusively play either male or female but typically when I play a female character it’s because I’m building a character that is less physically aggressive. I know this is playing into stereotypes but sword and board tends to be male while stealth archer tends to be female.

It’s 3x the median household income for DC($93,547). Almost 4x the national median household income($74,580). And it’s just one salary, it’s not the Justice’s total household income. If that’s low pay then most of the country is living in abject poverty.

My neighbor was a maintenance man at an apartment complex and was bitten while emptying mouse traps. He was infected with a virus that caused some kind of lymphatic disease that developed into viral meningitis. He wound up spending months in hospitals and rehab and has permanent brain damage and disability. It was treatable if he had gone to the Dr earlier but healthcare is expensive and hard to access so he decided to wait and see if it’d pass.
