I could have done without the big shots at the beginning, who waste my valuable time thanking all their research teams and funding bodies, with some random light-hearted jokes which provoked exactly zero laughter... but I guess that is normal at the start of every conference.
Every conference or project funded by some external, politically governed source. If you don't put on the brown lipstick before presenting the results, you won't be invited back to play.
Putin's in his Dacha, kickin' back with a vodka and some roe, laughing as the kickback payments accumulate in one account and the kneebreakers make lists of delinquents to visit in another.
Haven't you encountered a frightening number of ID idiots who insist - often a top volume - my grandaddy warn't no MONKEY! Your observation is true, but given the sheer number of people proud to be ignorant, not super useful. For their benefit - and thus, ours - we gotta watch that flippant phrasing. As the environment changed, dinosaurs evolve to be smaller, and eventually into birds. Not catchy, but easier to defend.
The key phrase is about what makes sense. To a legislator bought by the banking and payday loan industries, there will be a sense of panic to at least be _seen_ to be doing _something_; so that will make sense. To an ambitious prosecutor, there will appear an opportunity to bring the full weight of the criminal 'justice' system down on some poor schmuck who orders something legal-but-distasteful using MathMoney without paying sales tax or submitting the forms no one can figure out how to order let alone fill out (NJ handgun laws), so that will make sense.
In short, jumping up and down, waving flags and flares, daring regulators to come after you pretty much guarantees the most draconian possible response (designer recreational drugs) because 'think of the children!'
People without Refrigeration or Jerky-ing technology don't really finish the megafauna they hunt. You've gotten less that half-way through your last mammoth before it's no longer safe to eat, so now you gotta kill another.
Don't confuse Broadcaster (local, with local ads, and merely 'affiliated' with a network) and the Network (National, with national ads). The broadcasters's business model strongly resembles the car dealerships', and just like Tesla is getting well-funded pushback from the dealers, a proposed change in that model will get pushback from the state and local pols that depend on local TV to advertise in their districts.
While I agree with you in principle, I hope you're either non-US or quite well off. Otherwise, prepare for an unpleasant visit from some humorless MAFIAA (Music And Film Industry Associations of America) personnel. Have you learned nothing from Snowden and what's-her-name?

Temperature cannot possibly be Scale-Invariant. 32 != 0 != 273.15 unless you use variant scales.

That just means they're required to sell it to you. No limit on what they're allowed to charge, though.
If you're a _real_ CyberCombatant, locating the online version should be a dawdle.
Make sure you have your credit card number ready.
Like they don't have that already.

And how easy it is to make the ignorant fearful.
And therefore, how easy it is to make the ignorant violent.
Double-tap with a side-by-side is suicide.
You gotta have a pump gun or a gas-auto (pump's more reliable).
it will likely be used in the appropriate places as opposed to 'everywhere in the tubes.'
Appropriate meaning, in practical terms, any place it might save the operator of a given network segment a couple of bucks.
Or China, Iran, Pakistan, Myanmar or North Korea - you know, countries in which dissent of (heavens!) heresy/apostasy are capital offenses.
Or with anyone not benefiting directly from their vendor base's campaign contributions to your congresscritters.
Oh, and the FNC audience.
In fact, aren't there Muslims in the Knesset?
Show me another country in the region that has a single Jew or Christian in office.
I think you misspelled the british 'gaol.'

I, for one, think this could be the basis for a totally awesome RV. Fly anywhere, land, party, fly away.
Try it in French: l'Authentic
Does that explain why their singing voices are so high-pitched?
And lives in Asia.
If they're looking to define 'healthy,' the US is not the data pool of choice.

I believe!
I believe that contravenes the US Constitution's ban on religious tests to hold office (Article VI, paragraph 3).
Or just not quite as dense as we thought.

Often those two groups of damaged personalities have considerable overlap. And overlap with the upper reaches of church hierarchy.
