Lol, no. The US won't even comply with it's own.

Pure sugar is a preservative because it will dehydrate anything that tries to grow on it.

I mean, stuff will grow in water with salt in it too.

It makes me wonder why the founding fathers left that out.

I know a large reason we don't have a direct democracy is because they didn't trust the general population to not fall victim to a tyrant (which is super ironic).

I'm curious if the system was intentionally designed so that the only way the people can remove someone was through violence, or if they thought 2A would prevent the need.

Bone char isn't super high carbon, so it's possible that either the calcium phosphate or calcium carbonate is playing a roll.

But honestly, you're probably not getting very much of it mixed in from primitive smelting or forging methods.

I really wish the US had a democratic process for removing a member of the federal government.

Doesn't a high refresh rate kind ruin one of the big benefits of e-ink in the first place?

The reason I liked e-ink is because the screen only refreshed on a page change, so unless you're using the back light, the main power draw is turning the page.

That's just because sugar is a preservative.

It shouldn't be, unless the falsely accused was sentenced to death based purely on the accuser's lies.

That would be murder, which can carry capital punishment.

The thing is that in the past our government wasn't intentionally doing irreparable harm to our economy by giving nearly every trading partner we have the middle finger.

Maybe the markets will recover, but we might be looking at a situation similar to the great depression, especially if people start making bank runs.

Didn't you hear? Vance is saying that manufacturing is never coming back to the US.

So even working in a sweatshop won't be an option. Well, I guess until we're colonized.

Their lore makes 40k seem like a children's book.

There's two types of homeless people. Temporary or chronically. The percentage of chronically homeless who are drug addicts, severely mentally ill, or both (self medication) is around 60-80 (this can vary largely by area).

That's not to say that drug addicts and severely mentally ill people don't need help, but it's like people want to pretend that they don't exist because they make addressing the homeless issue way more complicated, because at a certain point you have to talk about involuntarily committing people to mental asylums.
