The subject is placed in a neck restraint with the intention of rendering the person unconscious by applying adequate pressure
Definitely the thing to do to a handcuffed man lying face down, while three of your mates stand around and watch. What could possibly go wrong?
For support, the justice insisted that ‘comparable secular businesses,’ like grocery stores and pharmacies, ‘are not subject’ to the same restrictions imposed on churches.
Setting aside the fact that Kavanaugh has already publicly demonstrated his willingness to lie (under oath, at his confirmation hearing), if he truly believes that providing access to food and medicine is comparable to being given the opportunity to be led in prayer then he has a truly fucked-up grasp of reality.
Not 'politically incorrect' but 'politically convenient'. The UK government is taking every opportunity to hand contracts to their favourite businesses without tender or statutory review. This is how we have the delightful situation in which a big financial accounting auditor is responsible for designing and implementing drive-through Covid-19 test facilities, with unsurprisingly poor results.
Still, at least this time they didn't outsource the job to a ferry company with no ferries.
"The First Amendment makes it illegal to make a law that establishes a religion, stops the freedom of speech, stops people from practicing their religion, stops the press from printing what they want, and stops people from exercising their right to assemble peacefully or demonstrating against the government."
309 characters, but I got it from a civics site aimed at elementary school kids so it should almost be within Trump's ability to understand.
Some people just don't care. They'll see it as the medical institutions' fault for not having better security. Even if it was their mum who died as a result, they'd find some way to justify blaming anyone but themselves. It's like the bully or abusive spouse/parent who exclaims, "Now see what you've made me do!"
I didn't fall for it at all because it's well known that HMRC prefers to employ companies based in Bermuda, not the Cayman Islands.
Left or right, it's basically anyone who isn't willing to listen to experts.
Occasionally, though, incidents like this will throw up a surprise. In this case it was the blinkered loon Senator Lindsey Graham, who started off on the party line but then swung around against a backdoor to encryption. It was fun watching him struggle with difficult technical words and concepts as he tried to explain this to his fellow Senate committee members, and fun watching them as they realised that for the first time in years he might actually be back on Planet Earth.
7: Because they control the website, they can register letsencrypt certs
Woah, hang on. I can understand Let's Encrypt issuing a cert for foobar.azurewebsites.net but can (and would) they do that for foobar.pwc.com in this situation?
What I've read about LE in the last two years hasn't encouraged me to use them at all, but I didn't think there was a gaping hole that wide.
