This isn’t really a book about being 2d, rather creatures being flattened by a stars gravity thar they live in.

It’s called Dragon’s Egg And was a really tripped read.

The plot is essentially a group of scientists go study a neutron star with some advanced tech (related to what we have now) that helps them weather some gravity problems. They discover that the star is inhabited by creatures made from nuclei bound by the strong force. They try to communicate with these tiny sesame sized creatures, but 1 of their days = 0.2 seconds human time… so communication is tricky.

I would love to see him detain every scotus justice and stash em in a safe house for their protection/national security. Give them no freedom of movement or agency over their lives… see if they change their tune.

Go a step further and detain them in safe houses… claim that because of their decision their have been death threats and its in the interest of natuonal security. Give them basically no freedom of movement or agency of their lives… I bet they would change their tune quickly.

He did… then the DNC said “we don’t like these people, please run Mr. Biden, we beg you!”

Kicking the can down the road to buy him time.

I mean he would certainly make a mark as one of the most interesting president’s yet by doing so…

A lot of states have mail in voting

Just do it publicly then, right after court ends. Just detain them, and their body gaurds if you need to.

Can you buy different sound packs? I would want mine to make a “wub wub wub” sound…

If someone is wearing them you will never be truly certain if a bee is flying around them or not.

They don’t seem to give overall preference to a given supplier beyond their obvious coupons and paid rankings. Alibaba is better, but who needs 144 of any specific widget…?

If you compare to one of the most preferred e-commerce website, which I would consider Amazon, it’s still not that bad. I have found less lies on Ali express v Amazon. If it comes to any cheaper electronics the Ali description is the real deal as far as I have seen. Amazon I have been shipped differing products, the description or features have just been a lie, or it didn’t come with the things implied. For the most part Ali descriptions are exactly what you will expect when opening the product… in fact many times I discover extra features when receiving the product that seemingly just couldn’t explain in their marketing.

Ali>Aliexpress>Amazon… just depends on needs

Well I think there are probably a half dozen interpretations that people on Lemmy use. One I have heard repeated is that they view the Tiananmen Square event as something that China rightfully did… hence “Tankie”

I don’t, I firmly disbelieve. Trump will only care if you’re in a purple state that he tracks the metrics on. He is too dumb to see or care about other stats.

Because you get things easier and faster that way.

Aliexpress seems most straightforward, and not quite as gimmicky.

Ethically one would say so, but legally there are different laws written that directly constrain things around bribery for career employees.

Somehow I am extremely skeptical this ruling even applies, and if it does I think it only invalidates one of plethora of laws and regulations…

If you take any training on how to get a contract with the government there is without fail a section that goes over the at least two laws, if not more, about why you can’t bribe them and how you shouldn’t bribe them in various ways.

I meant more like non elected officials, like a Contracting Officer.

Is there somewhere with more details?

Also I meant non elected officials like purchasing officials.

I don’t think this decision would apply to like federal purchasing officials… so not yet.

Maybe th debate will clear things up.
