That's because the problem is not whether or not he was exact in his quotation. He could have been reading those passages directly from the book and they would have still had a cow.

And the article actually nails the reason why quite well: those passages are inclusionary, and really points out how these Nationalist Christians are distorting that message. They have turned their form of American Christianity into only caring about abortion, guns, and how evil immigrants and trans people are. But the Jesus in that book loves everyone, unconditionally, and calls his followers to love everyone too.

If Jesus were alive today, the Nat-C's would have sent him to CECOT already. (It doesn't help his case that he's a brown-skinned Palestinian Jew....)

Seems kind of tame for British PMs, at least Starmer hasn't fucked a dead pig, as far as we know

In German, wouldn't that all be one word?

They didn't reject adding SpaceX, they simply said they would not change the rules to add it early, like the other indexes are. Those rules include a minimum time listed as a public company, a certain percentage of shares being floated to the public, and some profitability. I doubt SpaceX ever gets there.

Some of those other AI companies might make it through the gauntlet, though, and be listed eventually.

Note = loan in this context. OP is saying he doesn't want the burden of a monthly payment on a new car, and would rather buy a cheaper car that he doesn't need to borrow for. (Although these are becoming harder to find, at least in the US....)

No but that judge probably got a nice bonus for the ruling.

Sir, I am offended! There is no way this official received a bonus or bribe of any kind before the ruling. That would be unethical!

This officer received his payment after the ruling was made. That makes it a gratuity, which is acceptable, according to no less an authority than Brett Kavanaugh.

How much property? You could just register 1 sqcm of your lawn to each corp....

However, plaintiff has not demonstrated ⁠that this policy violates the principle of one person/entity/one vote.

Since when did we ever have a principle of "one entity/one vote"?

This is a gigantic loophole, simply live in that town and register a corporation there and you can vote twice.

For the same reason why they let so much water evaporate. They could convert some of that heat back into electricity, just like they could run closed-loop cooking systems, but it would cost more money than it would save. There's no financial incentive to do so....

.... Until regulators start insisting! These datacenter folks have gobs of money, we shouldn't be shy about requiring them to not ruin the local environment.

It would be best to do it on a national level, otherwise these folks will just shift the development to someplace without the regulations.

Why are people acting surprised? This is exactly what DOGE intended to do.

How many AI datacenters will it take to boil the ocean?
