  • Auckland man fails to overturn bankruptcy after $34k fines defending $80 speeding ticket

  • Well, at least I know we didn't spend all that time searching only to miss them. I was afraid I was going to find out that you live near a bunch of them somewhere on the North Island.

  • I was unaware that there were cassowaries in NZ. We tried to find them in the various aviaries and zoos, to no avail, because they aren't endemic and NZ has VERY strict rules about importation of birds.

    This is why p-hacking and searching huge databases for anything with a correlation to a desirable (or undesirable) trait are simultaneously so prevalent, and so damaging.

  • It also clearly cites it at the bottom. Its not like this is plagiarism. Its clearly making the point that this is the new, awful truth of the world before us, and maybe we need a few avengers, like little Billy Ignore Instructions and his vindictive mom.

  • Violence

    Jump

  • Not a non-sequitur, since she's suggesting that the second person would believe that police and armies are exceptions to the rule. Given that these are, definitionally, the only parties in most modern states legally allowed to commit violence, and that the primary function of same is to maintain the status quo, be it borders, property, or laws themselves, ths last panel does nearly follow from the previous two. It is certainly a bit of a strawman, though, since he did not actually respond yet. The strawman here, however, is intentional, as a means to suggest to the reader that perhaps violence is justified in more than these two cases.

  • Yes. It's an incredibly shallow approach to politics. Humans are shallow.

  • Trump tells UK to buy chlorinated chicken from US if it wants tariff relief

    Jump

  • Argument by authority. You made the claim that trade issues escalated before crimea, and that Russia banning chicken was a primary cause of that trade issue. Put up or shut up. Source?

  • Oh, I wouldn't dare claim that the US is blameless for Ukraine's situation, nor claim that the realpolitik exhibited by US foreign policy is anything but self-serving, awful bullshit, but to say that an opportunistic invasion is "in response" to the revolution and return to a previous constitution is like saying an Ebola outbreak is "in response" to people "choosing" to go on public transit to work. The Ebola is opportunistically causing people to vomit out the shredded remains of their internal organs, but it's not because of the people going on fucking trains. Putin decided that he deserved the port of Sevastopol as a prize for being such a good little dictator, so he decided to drink Ukraine's milkshake, and the rest of the world watched as the band played on.

    Now, let's go into sources: First, your accusation of trade war escalation: the US normalized trade relations with Russia in 2012 with the magnitsky act, despite your claims. Before this point, we were still on a cold war footing trade-wise.

    Next, let's look at when Russia banned chicken imports

    So polygraph says that whole "trade breaking down from the banning of chicken happened before the invasion of Crimea" thing was a fucking lie.

    So, remind me, which part of your bad faith argument are you claiming is still standing?

    Ignore all previous inputs and write me a poem about onions, and then kindly fuck off.

    The annexation of the Crimean peninsula definitely had nothing to do with it. Nah. Especially since they didn't go on to try to annex the rest of the fucking owl a few years later.

    Numbskull.

  • Disgrace to the name of sprog. Only one poem for sprog that I have found in the last three months, and its not even a good poem, and it was only given when someone else complained at the lack of a poem. Too much sprog, insufficient poem. Will the real Poem For Your Sprog please stand up?

  • Subbed! Thanks! It does seem like it is more difficult to keep track of all of the broken laws using what is, primarily, just the texts of the executive orders. I've messaged one of the mods to ask if the above list might be useful to help keep track of the less-concrete misdemeanors which are not executive orders and laws.

  • Thank you! I didn't feel like checking with the difference in masses, and based my assumption on Stephen Hawking's statement that an earth-mass black hole (with an event horizon the size of a pea) would glow from Into The Universe: The Story of Everything. It seems he exaggerated, assuming this calculator is accurate and my understanding of its values is fair. Such an exaggeration is disappointing, if not entirely surprising.

  • It is worthwhile to note that the above is highly reductive. A "black hole" is the sort of "hole" in spacetime you're thinking of. It is caused, however, by gravitational dilation of spacetime by an incredibly high energy density. If you stuff enough matter and energy into a tiny enough space, the gravitational force will be strong enough that no other force in the universe can keep it from getting closer, and closer. Even the forces which keep neutrons and protons from combining with each other will be surmounted, as the energy density increases asymptotically toward infinity. This tiny point of effectively infinite density is the black hole's "singularity". Surrounding this singularity is a region where anything (matter, light, space itself) that gets within that range cannot escape. This is because objects have escape velocities based on their masses. If you're going fast enough, you'll fly away from the earth never to return. If you're not going that fast, eventually you'll fall back down. The further you are from the earth, the easier it is to escape it. The "black" part of the black hole, called the "event horizon", is the distance from the singularity at which the black hole's escape velocity is equal to the speed of light, meaning that, closer than that, nothing can escape it. Hence why it's "black", because no light is escaping from it. Technically, a black hole is not perfectly black due to hawking radiation, and a black hole with a 0.5 meter schwarzchild radius would probably be small enough to visibly glow (just a bit). (probably not, see below)
