Which was indeed the case 250 million years ago. So the moon was a planet in the relatively recent past. Which means the Earth did not clear its orbit, the moon did.
Huh? What are you talking about? The Moon formed closer to the Earth and is slowly moving away. 250 million years ago it was somewhat closer and in a few billion years it may become a double planet. Besides by your definition, Charon is also a planet.
So you're saying the gas giants aren't planets? Same with the ice giants? And various large satellites are planets? Besides I think you might find that Ceres is more like a rocky planet then an iceball like Pluto.
Language is a bit more complicated then that. Is a dwarf tree a tree or shrub? The horticultural books I've read would classify the dwarf tree as a shrub but it is all a grey area with a tree being defined as bigger then a shrub, sometimes the number of stems mattering and sometimes not and what exactly is the cutoff when it comes to size?
The real problem was that Pluto was ever considered a planet, given the history of Ceres. It is just not big enough compared to the rest and its orbit is quite different then the rest. At the time of its discovery there were arguments about it and one of the reasons it was accepted as a planet was due to being an iceball, it looked bigger (brighter) then it actually is. Originally comparable to Mercury in size, the estimates kept shrinking its size until really it is more comparable to an asteroid.
I think you're misunderstanding ejected. 2 planets pass by close enough that their orbits are perturbed, one makes a close pass by its star and gets accelerated enough to leave the system. Some of the leading theories of our solar systems early days have an extra gas giant or two that get ejected from the solar system.
I live in the US and I cannot name too many businesses that would be okay accepting greater than $10K in a single transaction in literal cash (as opposed to a bank transfer or cashier's check).
Here in BC, it seems a favorite way to launder money is at the casinos and they'll be laundering more like a $100,000 in cash at a time. I've also heard there's quite a black market for winning lottery tickets.
Canada just removed legal tender status from any denominations that are no longer printed. The idea being to demonetize any $1000 bills still out there but it also means that the couple of $1 and $2 bills I still have are no longer legal tender.
Every civilization, including high level technical ones, that we have knowledge off has been on an Earth type planet. Seems like a reasonable starting place.
We're talking about a country where the justice system seems to work with private business, keeping private jails full and such, with Judges and prosecutors who often have to stand for election, so need campaign donations. Around here, it is the prosecution that suggests bail and the judge may or may not sign off on it. Just the other day, the local news was talking about an accused murderer who the prosecution asked for $80k bail and the Judge set it at zero (with conditions I'm sure). I got arrested many years ago and should have been considered high risk of flight. No bail, just having to report in regularly.
The force comes in by giving a choice of shit or bail. I understand staying in remand is one of the worst places to be as you don't even have the privileges of a convicted convict such as passing time by working and getting a couple of dollars a day.
My country also has a Constitutional right to a speedy trial and recently the Supreme Court set it at something like 18 months to 3 years depending on seriousness of charge and people, including accused murderers, have been walking due to taking too long to go to trial.
Actually the Model T was originally available in a variety of colours. Then Ford built his assembly line and black was the only colour of paint that dried fast enough for production and became the only choice.
We also have needle exchange programs, safe injection sites and a police force that are just as likely to send a junkie to a safe injection site as anything though it varies by community with the Christian communities really not liking those kinds of things.
Much cheaper to keep millions of people in prison, employ large police forces as well as large justice systems and deprive people of basic rights such as a speedy trial or no excessive bail. Not to mention that these desperate people often perpetuate criminal acts to get their fixes Here we've been experimenting with just giving junkies heroin, it's cheap, even having to maintain a clinic for them to show up to to get their fix and once these junkies have a reliable source of their drug, they actually become productive members of society. Sadly the Conservatives hate anything like that and love big government to fuck the poor and mentally ill.
Don't Americans have a right to a speedy trial? Here in Canada the Supreme Court recently ruled that keeping people waiting for years for trial is unconstitutional and all kinds of people have had their charges stayed with the idea that the government will hire more Judges to stop accused murderers from walking. I believe the soft limits are 18 months to 3 years depending on seriousness of charges. We also seldom force the accused to put up bail or put them in remand, at least relative to America and time in remand is considered time and a half I believe (might be double time)
If these people that are forced to pay bail to not sit in remand (one of the worst ways to do time) waiting for trial usually pay off their debts, even if late, perhaps they shouldn't be forced to put up bail? Bail is supposed to be for people at high risk of fleeing, not to enrich bail-bond companies or to punish the unconvicted (innocent until proved gullty).
You guys don't have voter registration? Along with marking voters on the list when they vote? Seems that should produce enough evidence to capture illegal voters.
It's small enough when the government can't interfere with the small government types while still being big enough to interfere with those they don't like or agree with.

Well the over poster did continue to say recapture, which to me implies gravitational ejection.

Pluto has many properties (structure being one) that Ceres and most KBOs do not have.
How so? Being more icy? Being in a less circular orbit? Or just discovered by an American?

That's freedom, the freedom to infringe on other peoples rights.

Well don't use them, it isn't like the government which is pretty well unavoidable and empowered to use force.
We also have needle exchange programs, safe injection sites and a police force that are just as likely to send a junkie to a safe injection site as anything though it varies by community with the Christian communities really not liking those kinds of things.
Are you suggesting we should have a dictatorship to run things and appoint judges and prosecutors?

Probably one of those dynamic things where it is always changing.

Yep, one day we might even make better concrete then the Romans
That's a pretty big grain of sand
