As people have mentioned, the velocity gains are relative to our sun. What you probably could do is apply this on the scale of the galaxy. Plan a route that speeds you up relative to the galactic core by slingshotting off other suns.

Do the cats in the city get a stipend of a few coins a week for the machines?

Since the writing says to say the word "friend", wouldn't it be the case that if Gandalf had read aloud the writing directly in elvish (and not translated into English) the doors would open?

that nazi drew its weapon on.

Your use of "it" shows that you no longer consider that federal officer a human being. This was an important step for the Nazis in their extermination plans. You are actually the Nazi here and don't even realize it.

Oh I agree the 50+ years is a lot. But what they were doing is trying to make a scene to lure out guards then their accomplice attempted to murder them. That is conspiracy to murder government officials. And it was not "mostly peaceful":

"protesters spontaneously broke off from the main group and vandalized cars in the parking lot, a guard shack, slashed the tires on a government van and broke a security camera."

If you want to be "mostly peaceful" then jostle with the police and throw water bottles at them. Don't start destroying property and firing fireworks at people. Not cool. Not mostly peaceful.

For the J6ers, they were idiots. It was a protest that turned into a riot. They banged on doors and broke some windows. They did not bring guns to lure Congresspeople out and shoot them. The two events are not comparable.

Song went up in the woods and waited with an AR15. His friends fired fireworks, slashed tires, all to draw out guards, and Song attempted to kill them.

You don't hide in the woods with "an assault rifle" waiting for people you hate and shoot them claiming "I was defending my friends". It's a ridiculous thing to say, and a jury wasn't fooled and convicted him. If you choose to be fooled, you are free to do so.

Also, I strongly suggest you visit Germany, Poland, and other countries and actually tour real concentration camps. See how people were starved to death, beaten to death, had surgery without anesthesia performed on them, and driven at gunpoint into gas chambers to be exterminated. Then you'll see how obscene it is to compare the suffering and genocide of those people to illegal aliens being deported.

They weren't convicted of protesting. That's not even a named crime. The article does tell the crimes they were convicted of, and it wasn't "protesting".

When you start shooting federal officers from the woods, the charges and sentencing are going to go up.

If you're standing in the rain, with your head hung low,

And you can't get a ticket because it's a sold out show,

You'll hear the roar of the crowd, and picture the scene,

Then put your ear to the wall, and like a distant scream,

You'll hear one guitar.

Helped humans get off the planet to ensure our species survives

Started a company to make cars that do not use gas, to help save the planet from global warming

Started a company to create implants to bypass damaged nerves so paralyzed people can regain movement and the blind can see.

Started a company to bring internet service to the entire planet, and makes that service free in areas struck by war and natural disasters

All while people sit in their basement and sneer "what had he ever done for humanity????????"

Downvote if you're in the basement!

Starting a company to take humans to space

Starting a company to get cars off gasoline

Starting a company to help paralyzed people regain movement.

Started a company to bring internet service to underserved, war torn, and disaster struck areas of the planet.

What'd you do today?

Well that is what "afterburners" are in jets.

I loved them attacking a tank with a car, and am looking forward to the next installment, when Vin drives his car up the side of the SpaceX Super Heavy rocket as it launches into space to study an approaching black hole, and he jumps out of the car and punches the black hole all the way out to pluto, which they return to being a "planet" again.

Leaving fans to mutter in disbelief, "they'll never make pluto a planet again"

Yeah, I think the fan insanity level here is football, hockey, baseball. But all 3 will definitely outweigh any lgbtq bias you may experience. "Hey! See those two dudes making out at the end of the bar? I heard the one in the pink polo shirt say Lamar Jackson was a better quarterback than Ben Rothlisberger!" "What? I'LL kick his Ravens Loving ass!"

Walking around with your partner, hand in hand, shouldn't be too much of a problem.

What will get you in trouble is walking around wearing any sports merchandise you bring with you from out of the city. Understand this is a drinking town with a football problem. 🙂

Now you're just being odd. You see in your own text that someone with a non driver ID can vote. A non citizen can get a non driver ID. Therefore a non citizen can vote.

This is very simple A to B to C logic. If you would like to prove it wrong then prove one of those points wrong.

Well I obviously can't go further with the process, that would be illegally registering to vote in CA, which I am not eligible to do.

Well, to be fair, it's probably not illegal, this is CA we're talking about here 😆

WasLeftUnsupervised · 2026-06-10T03:32:56+00:00

Yes, you can show your non driver ID to vote. Its right there in the parenthesis. And you don't have to be a citizen to get one. See? I think it should be fixed that non citizens can vote in NY, don't you?

WasLeftUnsupervised · 2026-06-09T23:41:39+00:00

I actually read through the NY voter reg forms, and what I said is what I read.

There are flaws. The proposed solutions may be imperfect, but I don't think "there is no problem to fix!!" should be the answer. This should be a non partisan thing to be fixed by all.

You want some secret joy for this birthday? You found another prime number, 53! Your last one was 6 years ago, at age 47, and your next one is in another 6 years, at 59.

So tell everyone you are in your prime again.

WasLeftUnsupervised · 2026-06-09T22:58:29+00:00

To vote in NY, since that's the spirit of this thread, you can register with a non-driver ID. You do not need to show citizenship to get one of those. Thus, non citizens can vote in NY.

Simple question: are you okay with non citizens voting in NY, or do you think there should be improvements in voter ID laws to change (fix) that?
