You can get up or go to bed whenever you wish. You can say today's date is 27 Messidor Year CCXXXIV if you wish. The problem is when you want to coordinate events between people following different time conventions. Timezones as we kno

I don't disagree with the linked-to analysis. I don't know what your point is. There is no need for the US Supreme Court, in its decision to endow the President with "unitary executive" power, to elaborate all of the thi

I think "noyb will also file a lawsuit in the coming weeks", from the person/group who brought us Shrems I and Shrems II, counts enough as "Shrems III could be in the works". Don't you? The linked article does

In the 1990s he said he was very pro-choice. That's changed. In some more fundamental sense, you are right - he hasn't changed that much. Doonesbury, 16 September 1987 characterized him as "I'm just a billionaire develop

Sure, but this picture is imaginary anyway, so why does that matter? Setting aside the motion blur in the lane markings(?!), the 3-lane highway on the left turns into a 4-lane highway in front of the car, then splits into two with an island
