The Constitution also says the courts interpret the law and the Supreme Court has interpreted it to mean there are limits. You can amend the Constitution to forbid the Supreme Court from interpreting it to allow for unhindered access to wea

Eh. Wasn’t a big deal honestly. It takes little effort to reproduce the key by disassembling the lock to get access to the plug.

The Dodo lived on a tiny island and it was driven extinct largely by invasive species brought by humans. It took humans quite a bit longer to drive say, the tarpan, to extinction.

Criminality is a social contagion. Wealth inequality, frankly, has little to do with it.

Animal agriculture isn't really required. Just humans coming into contact with animals or droppings will do. See: HIV, SARS, Zika, MARV, etc. Clearly the solution is to exterminate all other species.

Few news items ever rise to that level and fewer still deserve immediate attention. Daily news is merely a first rough draft of history and I'd argue most people would be better off instead reading later drafts - after much of the co

You want to shine a laser with the intent to "fight back" at things flying in the sky at night that you don't recognize? Well. That would be a federal crime with up to a $250,000 fine and/or a federal prison sentence of

So the FBI didn't actually say they were drones. The FBI said public reports and eyewitnesses said they're drones.

> FBI says they're rotary and fixed-wing drones The FBI simply repeated what public reports and eyewitness have said - a rather massive difference.

The prescriptions may be for multiple doses per day, to reduce GI irritation. I found a few cases of oral potassium chloride causing heart attacks, though at levels at least an order of magnitude greater.

You haven't needed a waiver since 2021. Now you can get near real-time approval to fly at night under Part 107.

It doesn't close much of the gap. Prescription drugs represent ~9% of healthcare expenditures in the US.

The US did essentially copy and paste the Swiss system. That's what the ACA was modeled after. It left out a few key bits though - like requiring those who sign up for healthcare backpay premiums for the entire period they were uninsur

Reading more, there appear to be just two cultivars naturally resistant to Xylella fastidiosa. Spain already grows hundreds of cultivars of olive trees, though only three are used for the bulk of the olive oil. So replacing those with resis
