Again, this depends on the state. In some states it’s a fine. In others it’s a misdemeanor and can carry jail time. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faithless_elector.

If Biden wins the election, but dies before the electoral college votes, it’s a free-for-all. The electoral college can vote for whoever they want.
This is unclear. Some states have laws that say that electors must vote for who they’re pledged to vote for.
Glad I could be of service.
Ahh the halcyon days of downloading one song from a private FTP server with upload ratios, found by Lycos FTP search. Over a modem, natch, so it took about 50 minutes…and that’s when your mom didn’t kick you off the internet so she could make a call.
We had an IT person quit this year because we transitioned to fully remote after they closed down the office in December 2020. He couldn’t handle working from home.
I think it’s better to take the Nazi’s money and use it for good. YMMV. Whatever you do will be fine, I’m sure.
I would auction it off and then take the proceeds and give it to an organization that is dedicated to fighting fascism.
No it is not. You can appeal if the judge was biased before he was assigned the case. After he takes the case if he becomes “biased” because you called him names and defamed him…no. If you could, every defendant would try to piss off the judge so that they could win on appeal because s/he was biased during the trial.
We don’t have parliamentary supremacy. What we have is what we have. A rough equivalent is that (assuming you’re a UK citizen) the Lords could still veto bills and the Commons couldn’t force the issue.
Yes. The “why” is that in 1787 it was unthinkable that a felon would be elected President by the Electoral College. The electors wouldn’t bother voting for a felon.
It’s not crazy. You should get one every so often just in case. Better to find a small problem now than a big problem later.
I’m more shocked that you could buy the house without an inspection. My bank required one to give me a loan.
If you want to be hyper-technical about it, he could order a hit on Trump, but if Trump was already on the ballot and received 270+ EVs, he would be ineligible to be President. His Vice President would take over as President.
If both were assassinated, the Speaker of the House of the newly-seated Congress would become President.
I don’t think you meant that specifically, but yes if ordering a hit is an “official act”, he could conceivably order the murder of anyone who cares to stand against him, including those in Congress who might wish to impeach him or remove him from office.
How many divisions has the Supreme Court?
They can order him released but unless they’re going to send a bailiff to try to break him out of federal prison, they’re just words on a sheet of paper.
As long as the public health officials in your area tell you to.
Yes if someone invented it today, it’d be banned. Just like libraries.
Costs for services are basically made up. It’s incredibly complicated but I’ll give an example.
My last doctor appointment was billed at $220. I am in-network (which means my insurer has negotiated specific rates) so the insurance company says “you can only charge our insureds $105 for that service. We’ll pay $80. The patient is responsible for the rest.”
If I didn’t have insurance, I’d be on hook for the full $220. If the doctor was out-of-network, my insurance company would pay what they thought was reasonable and I’d be on the hook for the rest.
The $220 is just whatever the doctor feels like billing. It’s not based on anything other than “I feel like $220 is what my time is worth.”
Your problem seems to be with cert authorities, which is not the same as HTTPS.
I’d be interested in what your solution is that doesn’t rely upon a 3rd party to guarantee that a website is ran by who it says it is.
Also if you’re complaining that browsers warn the user when using http, that’s a complaint about the browser, not HTTPS.
Do you have any hair follicles there? Could by why it’s smooth.
Unless the friend has training as a microbiologist or something similar their belief is inconsequential. And even then they would be in the vast minority in their field (like a geologist that believes oil doesn’t come from the heat and compression of ancient organic matter).
A lot of people are afraid of new things they don’t understand. The hope is that people realize that the fear is irrational and listen to experts in the relevant field.
Just set it to channel 3 and you’re gold.
