I don't fully understand. The Supreme Court has granted immunity for official acts performed as President. Aren't the charges for this case for actions from before his presidency, and therefore not subject to immunity?

It's because as the hot air rises, cool air comes in from all sides of the fire. Your body blocks that air from one side, so the prevailing current of cool air feeding the fire is biased towards you and it carries the smoke with it.

Or instead of investing in a redundancy or software failsafe for the angle-of-attack sensor that was problematic back in 2019.

Non-ferrous metals are still subjected to forces in the presence of changing magnetic fields through a combination of Lenz's Law and the Lorentz Force.

It's why when you drop a magnet through a copper pipe it falls slower than it would in open air.

I mean technically 16 is a round number, but it's also a square which makes it sound less round and more pointy.

Because there are legitimate reasons for some robo calls. Appointment reminders and confirmations, school weather closure announcements, two-factor login verification, etc.

You don't want your 1.4 million dollars back?

He has since paid his back taxes, so this isn't a valid argument.

"In the year after he disclosed a federal investigation into his “tax affairs” in late 2020, President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, paid off a significant tax liability, even as a grand jury continued to gather evidence in a wide-ranging examination of his international business dealings, according to people familiar with the case.

Mr. Biden’s failure to pay all his taxes has been a focus of the ongoing Justice Department investigation. While wiping out his liability does not preclude criminal charges against him, the payment could make it harder for prosecutors to win a conviction or a long sentence for tax-related offenses, according to tax law experts, since juries and judges tend to be more sympathetic to defendants who have paid their bills."

My guess:

Non-alcoholic

Beer is here.

Keep cold.

Enjoy fresh.

Charge him with what, exactly? He has a first amendment right to fly whatever politically divisive flag he (or his wife if we're to believe him) chooses, just as anyone else does. As far as I'm aware, the Supreme Court still has no legally-binding ethics rules, so no matter how clear a bias he shows, there's no crime to prosecute. His recusal is at his sole discretion.

I don't know if the legislative branch has the authority to codify a legally enforceable code of ethics that has some backbone, but even if they do I'm sure someone would fight it up to the Supreme Court where they'd just nullify it anyway.

Currently have a ban after 15 weeks since last menstruation began.

Probably true.

To be fair, the description included "Florida-woman" so that alone disqualified those other two nutjobs.

Looks like blister packs of medication to me.

Other problem is that a weight shift has to be countered with elevator trim, which can increase aerodynamic drag and therefore fuel consumption.

Range and guidance are not the whole package. I severely doubt North Korea has the ability to defeat US missile defenses.

I landed on Nova back in 2013 because it allowed me to assign secondary app shortcuts to icons on my dock that are accessed by swipe-up gestures. My hotbar has:

  • phone, but swipe up for contacts
  • messages, but swipe up for Gmail
  • music player, but swipe up for YouTube
  • Firefox, but swipe up for clock app

Haven't paid any attention to any newer launchers.

If you give them permissions. Speaking from Android. Don't know how iOS works.

I wasn't aware of swipe down. Not sure if it was added later or I just missed it.

It's still there, and not because my phone is slow - even a brand new Pixel with no apps or Google account has this delay. It takes nearly 2 seconds to go home - long enough to make me question if I hit the home button.

Pixel 6 Pro, in use since release... I don't have any noticeable delay. Pressing the home button (I have 3-button navigation instead of gestures), the transition from foreground app to Nova home screen I'd estimate to be under 1/4 second. Feels pretty instantaneous.

Other people are already doing their best to exercise their immune systems against Botox.
