Free speech stops when it infringes someone else’s rights. That’s why threatening violence isn’t covered. This should be obvious.
I also note that while the tweet was self-deleted, it’s still out there now thanks to this tweet, and this post, and even my reply, much like telling a jury to disregard something that was objected to. They probably knew it too, the old post and delete method of getting people worked up and denying responsibility.
Bills don’t often get passed on the first try. If anything you should be critical that this is only the second time, it ought to be a constant attempt to change a system that seemingly everyone not making a profit from is against. I’ll also say that the only way anything like this will get passed is through the left, the right does not want everyone to get a vote. So it will likely fail again somewhere unless the ratio of left-right shifts. As is true of any bills that favor the public good.
Bills are often started by one or a few people to get voted on by others. It will be resisted, but not by the side that would do well with a ranked choice with other left-sided third parties.
It’s an older meme, sir, but it checks out.

Me? I’m a planner. You know? I make plans.
You’ve already made the plan, so what value do you have now?
If, uh, the plan fails… the existing plan… I make a new plan.
So you make plans that fail.
Unless some evil god is opening a portal to a dark dimension. Movies have taught me at that point, you throw everything you can at it, from crossed beams to houses to nukes to whatever you have handy.

I don’t like extra dots simply because pattern matching might get weird down the road. Keep dots for extension type and use Pascal to make it easier to read multiple words. Flatcase only if it’s short or I’m lazy for a temp file.
Larry Niven’s teleport pads would be cool. Except for the human tendency to stand at a doorway…keep moving!
I’m all for eternity with an opt-out choice. But forever without parole? That is hell.
I have a Tesla store near my work, and I’ve been seeing a few of them drive by lately. Each time, even seeing them coming, I still have a WTF reaction. That is a god awful looking vehicle. Even if it was of good quality. I drew better trucks in crayon when I was 5.
Wannabe Zorg. He better avoid luxury space liners.
It’s all about projecting confidence that you are the person in control. Don’t even need the right clothes or a clipboard. Some of my favorite scenes from the Beverly Hills Cop movies is when Axel does this kind of thing. Catch people by surprise, flash an ID without showing it, look pissed. “Is that your Porsche outside???”
Springs go from dangerous to lethal. So much invisible energy stored, waiting for a weak point. Way too many videos out there of what not to do with car suspensions or garage doors.
On the picture topic, it depends on which end he was impaled on. It’s obviously the broken side, but they don’t say that’s the end that got him.
Also plenty of room for various things like EMP generators and nuclear devices.
They obviously don’t realize how much resources you save in the simulation when you don’t draw what the player can’t see.
It would be far different if the land mass of Africa had never existed. The whole tectonic movement would have resulted in different arrangements several supercontinents ago, with their own effects on climate and life itself.
But if Africa just blipped off one day, maybe. Then you have to explore what a sudden loss of land would do to the ocean waters rushing in, the change in Earth rotation due to its mass being shifted, lots of other things.
