“Coprime” is the operative qualifier of the original comment. You can’t do what Steve Martin did with coprime amounts of buns and dogs because they can never evenly go into one another. You’ll always have leftovers.

If a portion of the government wholly stops listening to a part of the government that has authority over it, they call it a coup.

If a regulator enforces a law against you that the court has deemed unconstitutional, you can sue the regulator for damages with the expectation that the court will be on your side.

The more obvious “built in” option is for the president to pack the court.

With Marbury v Madison, the court gave itself the authority to interpret the constitution and the laws that congress enacts and the president enforces. These are statutory laws.

The other kind of law is court precedent. It is the law that the court creates based in the cases that come before it. It is inextricably linked to statutory law. Of course the highest court can overturn the law of lower courts or its own decisions.

Yes, the court can strike down laws.

The only way to get around the court is to amend the constitution itself. When amending, the language should be plain and clear so that SCOTUS cannot misinterpret it. Though there are several amendments that have been interpreted various ways over time.

Amending the constitution is a difficult process because it requires a lot of agreement between the members of congress/ senators and the states. See article V of the constitution.

I feel like this is “The Room” of fmv games.

It should be standard practice for Bethesda games to wait for a game of the year edition (or whatever they want to call it) then wait for a steam sale on that.

It doesn’t make it any less stupid.

Oh are we role playing?

Ok let’s see.

You’ve put me in a tricky situation.

I don’t know whether we have ever made out before. What about alcohol tolerance? Is she drunk? Am I drunk? How big are her titties? Does she have a BBL? Is she dressed all slutty? Is she asking for it, if you know what I mean? Are the walls think enough to muffle her if she screams for help?

Oh how about this. This is a stupid scenario that people shouldn’t find themselves in because they talk about intentions and expectations during the beginning phases of a relationship. Really, that’s first week of dating stuff.

So what if she’s casually slept with other guys? Maybe she had a traumatic experience with the last one. Maybe they were liars. Maybe she doesn’t want sex with the current guy. Maybe she does and she’s not ready. Whatever her reason, there needs to be real, non-intoxicated consent before sexual contact.

People can establish good non-verbal communication that is sufficient to grant consent. But it takes longer than dating for a few weeks. And the first time having sex needs to be double and triple checked to make sure you didn’t misunderstand in your excitement.

This is what nvidia did with the shield, and they don’t make a mobile version anymore. The set top box was just that successful.

A Steam Deck dock with a pci slot for an external graphics card would be phenomenal.

They can stand in a jail outside of a iso cell just as well as prison staff can.

There are no legal or logistical issues. Contempt of court is contempt of court. But you’re right that jailing Trump would make him a political martyr to his supporters and that would become a massive shitstorm.

It’s always sunny is a comedy about a group of inept people running a bar in Philadelphia. It’s pretty witty and subversive. Also the actors are the show runners so it doesn’t have the corporate feel. I didn’t know anything about the other ones.

Think longer term. Let’s go with that Fruit analogy. If you have a fruit tree in ideal conditions and begin growing more, eventually you will hit conditions that are not ideal. You can make them more ideal, you can buy more land that is ideal with the fruit proceeds. But eventually you will run out of land where it is possible to grow fruit trees. The supply is now limited. But before that, you will hit a point where people no longer demand the fruit, and your fruit is not worth the upkeep of your orchards.

So you increase the price to try and reach parity before you farm all the land, and you keep a store back for droughts and other problem periods. (Companies like DeBeers store back diamonds to hit this point artificially without risking a drop in demand)

Now imagine every person is trying to grow as many fruit trees as possible. That land runs out a lot faster and the saturation point is reached faster. The point where it makes sense to grow more trees is hit a lot sooner.

Advertising is another form of artificially raising demand. If you think you are hitting an equilibrium you have to start trying to convince people that your product is special and better than the other guy’s product.

Ultimately, the system is finite because land is finite, demand is finite, and people are finite. You can’t expect eternal growth in a finite system.

I just assume that these people never have any problems that they have to solve personally. Otherwise they would be frustrated by the inability to find necessary information. They are either rich or children or both.

Presumably they were quarantining the participants between matches because of COVID. There is a difference between making sure the world’s best athletes don’t contract a disease that affects their respiratory functions and work places preventing sex.

It depends on your state. The verbiage that works on one state doesn’t necessarily work in another.

The same is mostly true in the US. The companies use them to scare people into settlements. But it does depend on the state.
