The boon here isn't that it'll allow them to bring a shoddy product to market. The boon is they'll be able to continue milking investors by hiding the fact that they have no marketable product in this space while they keep selling off their stock.

That is much much funnier. It's willing the entire simulation out of existence. It's attempting magic. That's existential dread.

I've made a lot of tough decisions since I took this position. But none of them harder than this one. You saved us, but you'll kill us. I'm sorry. You're a hero... and you have to leave

Our vote of no confidence is impeachment. Same problem in regards to the party selecting the party leader in the UK. You actually have to have MPs/senators that actually agree.

He wasn't detained either. He was charged by mail with a summons(postal requisition) and told to show up for his court date in May. In the US an investigative detention means stopping you in one place while in the UK detention generally only means bringing you to the police station and holding you for a charge. In the UK they call the former a stop. You'd have to necessarily be arrested for the later. He didn't have either happen. I don't even think he's in the UK right now(which is likely why they did a postal requisition for a crime as serious as rape without issuing an arrest warrant and starting the extradition process). They want him to come in on his own.

Supposedly they did interview him at one point but that's about it.

I thought he wasn't even in the UK to be arrested. Did he go back?

Edit:

Brand has not been placed under arrest, the Met tells NPR. The agency says he was interviewed and then charged via "postal requisition" — a court summons informing him of the charges.

I guess the OP thinks he got arrested by mail since that's not even the article title.

I agree, though increasing snowpack seems to be the most plausible idea, though still a greatly wasted effort.

Florida doesn't particularly need cloud seeding(they get plenty of rain and don't need to increase snowpack on the mountains they don't have), so it's kind of a useless exercise. The places that do do it mostly seem to be wasting their time though. The climate change attempts to increase albedo and thus lower temperature are just research exercises at this point.

I think you could take an opossum. They generally forget they can bite while hissing. A puma on the other hand...

 

Israel's government approved a plan on Sunday to expand Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights, saying it had acted "in light of the war and the new front facing Syria" and out of a desire to double the Israeli population on the Golan.

 

For the first time since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party swept to power in 2014, the party did not secure a majority on its own in 2024 national election. But the prime minister’s coalition is still expected to run the country for another five years.

Modi’s allies generally support pro-Hindu legislation, but making new policies could be complicated by coalition politics and a slimmer majority.

Despite a setback, many of the Hindu nationalist policies he’s instituted over the last 10 years remain locked in place

 

Interesting to note here: getting preteens to confusedly call Congress with threats of self harm and questions like "what is Congress" with a push notification is not the best plan
