Does he not think that the US military could take the spaceships from him by force if necessary?

We re-racked for 9 and the previous game’s Scarlet Woman played an absolute blinder of a bluff as the Empath. She was never once under suspicion. Threw her own Spy under the bus as exactly the right moment.

Scarlet Woman executed. “Empath” killed herself to try to jump ship, but we knew who the other minion was by then, so the now former Spy was executed the next night.
Actually worked out well because the Spy ended up having to leave early.

I HAD to check the Saint claim. Really the Scarlet Woman you say? And she was sitting next to a supposed Empath zero. In combo with a Chef one we really had things pretty well tied up. Final evil player, a Spy, slipped up on day two and asked me for my Ravenkeeper info before I’d said anything.

I’ll vote for Kelsey Grammar if he agrees to spend the entire four-year term in character as Frasier.

My county consistently stays in the top five in the country for rate of pedestrian/bicyclist deaths. I don't even consider myself safe on the road half the time, I can't let the kids wander around, though I otherwise have no objection on principle.

It shouldn't have been. Legislative "codification" of Roe is meaningless. The Court would have found a statute protecting abortion just as unconstitutional as they found Roe itself. The only way to protect abortion rights is to control the Court or pass an amendment.

@questauthority.bsky.social, a topic which combines several of your interests.

When I was a kid I woke up with one crawling on my chest. I was entirely too groggy to really process the feeling so it got a couple of stings off before I could shake it.

I had to take a break for like 30 minutes to meet with a client in-person. It's killing me

Maybe direct DOJ to go after him for drugs? Or perhaps Bondi will decide to do it herself just to please Trump?

Alas, I don't have a crop coming in at the moment.

As a Floridian I keep a backup window unit in the garage. If the main AC goes out for whatever reason I throw it in the master bedroom window so there's at least one livable room in the house.

Right? I'm genuinely puzzled by that too. I already look like generic white guy. Why would I want my characters to look that way too?

Because they city does a tremendous amount of business with large foreign entities and governments. Negotiating agreements to bring more business into the world's financial capital is not just a local question.

When your government's budget is larger than Portugal's I think that's a reasonable question

Yeah, where I live now is that way. There are canals breaking up the same streets. You could be on the 400 block heading for the 800 block and not be able to get there from here because surprise water dead end

You've also done all of that incorrectly. People have accurately stated the requirements of the Fairness Doctrine to you again and again and you've repeatedly said that they're really talking about Equal Time. They aren't look at the Free Speech Center or SCOTUS in Red Lion.

They cannot regulate the content of cable channels, no. We have this really foundational document, the supreme law of the land you might call it, which says they cannot do that.

1) It didn't require opposing sides to be presented "accurately," just be presented.
2) You're moving the goalposts here a long way from "required the news to be truthful." Could it be that your original claim was wrong and all of the lawyers telling you it was were right?

Regulations are, in fact, law. "Fairness Doctrine" was just a convenient name for a collection of FCC regulations. You know how we can be sure? We can read the cases.
comment in response to

He's not confusing anything. He literally just described the two requirements of the Fairness Doctrine. 1) Cover issues of public concern and 2) Do so by covering opposing sides of the issue.
No one said there had to be equal coverage of the opposing sides, just both be represented.

If only there was some sort of well known organization with expertise on the topic who had written a concise summary of duties imposed by the Fairness Doctrine that could be easily accessed online...

"I think the government should mandate truth but when people with subject matter expertise correct my misunderstanding of the law I'm going to mute them" is quite the position to hold there, friend.

I grew up with a similar grid system where everything east/west was a street and north/south was a road or ave. My house was on 43rd Street Road because it took a bend like that and rather than breaking it into two parts they just double named it.

How did they come to learn you were Jewish? I think I could count the number of times religion or ethnicity has come up in talking with clients on one hand.

Cape Coral is laid out in a very clear cut grid system. On paper it should be easy enough to navigate, but it's got canals that cut the same street up like the one in your photo. You could be driving along toward what you think is your destination only to come to a dead end of water.

Someone should tell her that cops are trained to watch for the nose of your car to dip to insure that all forward momentum has stopped in order to call it a "stop." Seems to me that having to put your foot down is the same on a bike. If you can stay upright without it there's still momentum.

Sir Humphrey: Minister, I must ask you for a straight answer. On what day? Tomorrow? Monday? Tuesday?
Hacker: In due course, Humphrey. At the appropriate juncture. In the fullness of time. When the moment is ripe. When the necessary procedures have been completed. Nothing precipitate, of course.
