Yeah, this should’ve been going since at least the ICE bullshit started, at latest. One resolution fails? Another one, right then. Keep it going, constantly, Enemy At The Gates style. Make them defend the position, make them justify it to their supporters.
Trans people all over the US still go to Thailand and similar markets because to literally fly to another country, get bottom surgery, spend the 3-6 month recovery period there, and THEN fly back to the US is STILL cheaper and faster than trying to get it done here.
The issue is that these surgical robots are a goldmine for companies specializing in medical devices. I work for one. They look fancy, they’re available to buy on loan if you can’t afford the several million dollars, and they sound modern.
Meanwhile, the instruments are not cross-compatible (meaning you can’t run Medtronic instruments on a US Medtech robot, for instance), so while they’re reusable and sterilizable (unlike most other handheld devices which are designed to be one-case-only), you have to buy a whole suite of endocutters, staplers, and whatever else you want that robot to be able to do in order to make it do that. PLUS there’s a proprietary computer system, an imaging system, the software to run those, often a televisual rig at the other end for the surgeon to run…you can get really pricey for these, real quick, and that’s not to mention the staple cartridges, the trocars, all sorts of stuff that can be proprietary.
A 3/3 flying, that grants cheap flying for no tap, and gives you life AND gets stronger every draw? All for a 5-drop?
For those who don’t know - almost everyone knows where most major missile silos ARE, in most nuclear-capable countries. From the time the rocket is fired, you, no matter which country, have about 5-10 minutes to decide whether it’s aimed at you, and whether to fire back.
Officially, they’re just housing them until their official removal procedures. Unofficially, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of these people aren’t disappearing into the slave trade as soon as it’s convenient.
It actually assumes that Iran doesn’t know the capabilities of its own neighbors, since a lot of Middle Eastern nations, including Israel, are operators of the F15.
The issue is, this is a joint war involving Israel as well. As you may have noticed from the smoking pile of rubble that was Gaza City, Israel has a long history of “we’re just gonna violate that ceasefire real quick”.
Now Sultans of Swing is stuck in my head.
Also don’t close one eye if you’re using iron sights.
Literally this is why the SUV exists. Truck wheelbase with car styling because Obama fucked up CAFE.
Generally, “I did illegal thing because my lawyer advised me to do illegal thing (also I have power to compel my legal team to say whatever I want)” is not a GREAT defense.
It’s so weird that he’s so homophobic. Ender’s Game is incredibly chock-full of homoeroticism.
Honestly, a lot of the Scully-focused episodes are great.
Actually lowering prices would require regulation, and he’s built his entire corporate campaign on “we’re getting rid of every regulation”. Much easier to make them look lower in comparison.
Punisher, Wolverine, Miller’s Batman, even if you go back as far as Jay Gatsby or Machiavelli’s The Prince.
Ah yes, the imprecatory Psalms.
There’s a lot of issues with that, as my city found out. Converting an office space to code-compliant, safe housing is rather difficult, from the materials used to build the thing all the way to how it’s actually configured. You’re running new pipe, new electrical, probably having to actively gut the floor you’re working on to be compliant with housing codes and, more importantly, fire safety.
One of the worries of the Court is that this order could be retroactive. Native Americans were not citizens until the earlier half of the 20th century. Considering the plaintiffs kept bringing up Wong Kim Ark, it sounded like the Trump admin wanted the court to vacate a ruling from 1898, which could theoretically allow them to retroactively strip citizenship from people already granted it, perhaps even posthumously (meaning multiple generations of people would suddenly not be citizens).
Don’t forget that they’re also very much into the idea of eugenics.
