I think they may also have internalized that there is a mental cost to flashy possessions. They attract attention, they send certain messages to people around them, and they can occupy your own thoughts as a focus of concern, where a boring used sedan simply disappears.

So, this would mean that Richard Hammond is the indigenous Brit, and Jeremy Clarkson is the Norman usurper? By process of elimination, that leaves James May as the Germanic admixtures, which seems plausible.

Marriage is very important to Mormons and Gays. That is an anti-signal to normies. Sorry but Internet Atheism and the fight for gay marriage has poisoned the concept for at least a generation.

You're eliding the difference between civil and criminal law. Civil torts exist to settle disputes, criminal law to punish injustice. Refusing to pay a court-ordered judgment would eventually be a criminal offense.

I guess I fundamentally disagree with this view because it's anti-aspirational. The aspirational goal is aircraft-like rapid reuse, and yes, that goal has not been achieved. But the actual accomplishment of slightly-less-rapidly reusable boosters good for at least tens of flights is still way more than anyone else has achieved, worthy of great praise, and should not be diminished! I'd much rather over-praise a company that delivers on 25% of its extremely aspirational goals than one that delivers 90% of unambitious goals.

What would convince you otherwise? You've already rejected lower prices as evidence in favor of a conspiracy theory about price dumping, and rejected the apparent conclusions of NASA and DOD inspectors who get inside access to the books to verify the business health for government awards eligibility.
It's fairly widely accepted that the most difficult and most experimental parts of what SpaceX is hoping to accomplish are the re-entry and landing of the orbital vehicle, so actually demonstrating the ability to complete those tasks (albeit imperfectly) is a big step forward. Also high up on the difficulty scale is a precision landing of the booster, and while we don't know if it landed with the necessary precision, demonstrating the capability to do the soft landing on the booster is also a big step forward.
ETA: Given this is the second flight to put Starship into a suborbital trajectory with orbital velocity, I would recommend @ArjinFerman get his checkbook ready.

For example, in 2008, tech entrepreneur Brendan Eich donated $1000 to support California Proposition 8 -- a ballot initiative that designed to keep marriage in California only between same sex couples.
I'm guessing you meant "opposite sex couple" above?

My first guess would be a ruling that, applying Strauder, the portions of the law that could negatively impact minorities based on "suspect classifications" would need to satisfy elevated or even strict scrutiny, and would fail to do so, but that the portions which allowed discrimination on other categories would satisfy rational basis and be permissible.

He rules that the Republican Professors' Association lacks standing to challenge the rule, and that the case would have to be brought by an applicant that was specifically affected by the rule.

Once RLHF has beaten the racial slurs out of an AI, how are you going to prove that it was going for disparate treatment,
The whole point of "disparate impact" is that intent is irrelevant. It is proven simply by pointing out that the actual outcomes are different.

Probably the thing at highest risk is the electric grid and things attached to it.
Also satellites, which for obvious reasons cannot ground themselves. I would think this a more likely attack vector on US space supremacy than antisatellite missiles.

What is your source that the NYPD is very red? I know the union leadership is, but my priors are that the police force, being more closely drawn from the area and much more demographically representative, will also be more politically representative as well.

People will believe whatever they need to believe to justify themselves, so long as it's at least plausibly compatible with reality.
ETA: Would you really have such a hard time believing that Trump suffered a sudden and lethal heart attack while alone in his cell?

Even in NYC? But regardless they still can't operate without leadership. A cadre of rogue border agents is not going to liberate a president-elect on their own initiative.

Yes. The same statutory section defines
“Enterprise” means any entity of one or more persons, corporate or otherwise, public or private, engaged in business, commercial, professional, industrial, eleemosynary, social, political or governmental activity

Okay, but John Roberts doesn't command them, the President does. If there is no acting President, then I suppose it would fall to the a agency leadership, and why would they do anything to help the person they hate and who they may believe stole the election, and when they are about to be fired anyways? Suppose they just order their people to stay home?

Did Republicans really create this legal system? It seems noteworthy to me that these systems operate most often the way you describe in areas dominated entirely by Democrats.

I doubt that for one simple reason: I have been on multiple juries. I am not impartial. I was not stricken.
It's very easy. All you have to do is give the right answers.

You did not mislabel your Venmos (as far as I know) with the intent of preventing the state of New York from executing its law
Assuming he's in New York, yes he did: he knew those transaction records could be subpoenaed for a variety of reasons, and mislabeled them anyways. This is clear intent to frustrate the state carrying out its laws.
They may be using a web component. Maybe try turning it off in Edge.
