I believe that "accurate" in this context means "not knowingly a lie" rather than "is objectively correct". The allegation is that city officials knew the water was not safe to drink but told residents that it

The article makes it sound like this was a ruling from one judge. In fact it was a 15 judge panel. The article is talking about the majority ruling, which was joined by 10 judges. The judge they name is the judge the chief judge assigned to

Again, the plaintiffs choose the argument. They choose to use a statute, 42 U.S. Code § 1983, that starts: > Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the Distri

I'd guess part of the reason he got downvoted is this: "The increased CO2 levels in recent years (slightly added to by human activities) [...]". Pretty much all of the CO2 increase above pre-industrial levels (280 ppm) is due

Interesting. For 3 players this set of 3 6-sided dice would work: #1: 1 2 3 4 17 18 #2: 5 6 7 14 15 16 #3: 8 9 10 11 12 13 But if you had those 3 dice but only 2 players you could not just have each player grab one of them and ro

So I work for 45+ years, paying SS tax for those 45+ years, and what that gets me is a loan when I retire with payback deferred until I die? You'll have a hard time convincing anyone that they want to participate in that.
