If you're reading this, you have WAY too much free time on your hands, and should probably rethink some of your life choices. Shout out to my "fans" who like to abuse the "report" feature to take down my comments that don't actually violate the rules. Perma-bans successfully appealed: 5
California does, however have the highest gas tax in the country at roughly $0.90 per gallon.
There's like, an entire Tom Hanks movie about why this is a bad idea...
In China? Naw, they'll drag your @ss away if you try to do that. The Chinese don't mess around with that kind of thing, especially in nice areas like this.
It's worth noting these terraces are very likely a flood/erosion control measure for a river that is likely just off screen. Their functionality as a relaxation space is likely incidental.
I am no longer going to feed the troll, it's not worth it.
Oh and it's also worth noting that most of the time, their test launches are launching OLD hardware. They were flying v2 Starships while they had v3 in active development and construction simply because it allowed them to use the hardware they had on hand to test common features between the ships and adapt the changes to the new. Some of the flights had failures that were already designed out in the subsequent version before the flight even happened.
None of their Starship launches have been under normal conditions so far. Every single one has had shield tiles they intentionally remove to test failure conditions, several have launched or reentered at significantly higher angles/speeds than a normal launch would, and some have even intentionally launched with engines disabled to test engine-out capabilities. All you're doing right now is showing your ignorance and you clearly haven't followed their progress that closely.
Testing to failure is a legitimate, common practice in engineering. You want to see what the limits are and figure out what the failure conditions are when they happen. Each launch tests dozens of different elements (most frequently intentionally removed heat shield tiles) to figure out the limits of their designs. Actual manned launches would be significantly more conservative on safety margins.
SpaceX used the same method for Falcon9/Dragon and have the best launch record in the industry.
Commuters dream, homeowners nightmare.
Yeah, so it turns out when you don't try to run over law enforcement with a car or fight with police while you have a gun on your person, the odds of being killed by them drops dramatically. Go figure. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

It did have to pull back temporarily due to a fire in the laundry room which spread out of control and damaged some sleeping quarters. Realistically, you're not getting missiles/drones through a carrier strike group easily, the Phalanx alone would be a challenge, not to mention longer range defense systems they have available.
I mean, yeah... because the administration is not legally obligated to release undocumented immigrants solely because they are not considered a threat; DHS has the *discretion* to release them but is not required to do so. In these cases, the burden is on the individual to prove they are neither a flight risk nor a danger.
But yeah, like, if you're not in the country legally, the government is under no obligation to allow you to walk around freely, being here illegally is enough of a reason.
Probably because without adding Palestine it would only be 7 countries, and would have been the same as Obama's record.
Yeah, and if you use that logic, then the US under Biden also bombed Russia.
Countries Bombed by Presidency:
Trump 47 = 7 (Iran, Venezuela, Nigeria, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Somalia) - The US did not participate in the Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip.
Biden = 5 (Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Yemen)
Trump 45 = 7 (Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Yemen, Libya, Somalia)
Obama = 7 (Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Yemen, Libya, Somalia) - Some reports also add the Philippines
Courts have long held that the First Amendment does not guarantee the press a special right of access to government property, such as military bases, that is not available to the general public. Giving media any access is a defense department policy, if they wanted to, they could simply kick all the media out of the Pentagon altogether and shift public-facing activities to a media annex and still satisfy all the constitutional requirements.
The DC circuit court is one of the most liberal in the country, the decision will definitely get appealed.
The main thing that socialism overlooks as a whole is human nature. Socialist ideas fundamentally rely on the belief that at some point down the path of the revolution humans will become perfect and establish the utopia. In reality, humans will never be perfect and the utopia is impossible, but this process of pursuit of utopia is itself what enables the worst tenancies among us to take hold of power and wield it over the masses, which is why socialism always devolves into dictatorship.
What suggests it is that she supported two revolutions, one which succeeded and lead to 90 years of authoritarian oppression, gulags, and forced mass starvation of millions, and a second revolution that failed and in-so doing lead to the rise what is today considered one of the most evil regimes in history. If we judge ideas and philosophies on their results, then her ideas can't be much more of a failure than that...
But yet, people will brush it off as "real socialism has never been tried".
She was one of the Marxists that, amongst other things, participated in the German Socialist Revolution (which she was killed in) which was one of the key events that ultimately lead to the rise of Nazi Germany. Before which she was also involved in the Russian Revolution which itself lead to untold numbers of deaths both during the revolution and in the 90 years of the USSR that followed.
Businesses operate under different legal standards than a residence, especially a public-facing business that has it's doors open to anyone. It takes literally 5 seconds to Google this, and you'd find that you're wrong.
This legislation would do at least two things I can think of off the top of my head: 1) Make operating a small business that imports literally any product, directly or indirectly, take on a massive financial regulatory burden. 2) Effectively ban all EV manufacturing or sale in England (guess where all that Lithium and Cobalt comes from).
The keyword there is "Private Areas". ICE cannot go like behind the counter to search for illegal workers (though "hot pursuit" exceptions apply if they identify someone who flees into such an area), but anywhere in a business the public is allowed to enter, ICE is legally allowed to search and detain people.
Please do not drink gallons of water. You will literally die.

Literally no one cared about the tan suit thing except for a handful of boomers that binge watch Fox News at 3am.
Lol, you think the country was unified by the end of Obama's time in office? Obama is the reason you got Trump.
I mean, the Pearl Harbor joke was objectively pretty funny.
