Rainbow vacuums, my parents had one when I was growing up.

First off, in the world of Ghostbusters, ghosts absolutely are real, though their appearances seem to be somewhat sporadic.

Second, Peck was a man who abused his power and nearly caused an apocalypse.

I’m not saying the Ghostbusters were entirely in the right, but Peck absolutely went too far because of his own personal biases. When he first went to the firehouse to investigate, he started out just fine. When he asked to see the containment unit, Venkman asked a perfectly valid question, “why do you want to see it?” From there, Peck immediately went off on a tangent, accusing the Ghostbusters of being frauds, and threatening legal action, to which Venkman responded in kind.

The next time Peck shows up, he has barged in and shuts everything down without thought of the consequences. Even the people he brings along for support think it’s a bad idea.

It’s like somebody built a bomb in their back yard, and instead of properly defusing it, he insists they take a sledgehammer to it.

Imagine how this goes if he kept his cool in the first meeting. Venkman likely shows him the containment unit, and Spengler explains how it works. If it really does run afoul of EPA regulations, the Ghostbusters get a fine, and are asked to bring their equipment into compliance. Maybe they have to retrofit a few things, but in the end, there’s probably no explosion of ghosts, and possibly Vinz Clortho and Zuul never manage to link up (as their meeting was facilitated by the chaos of the aftermath), preventing Gozer from entering our dimension.

It’s relevant in the context that helping China is explicitly something Trump says he’s against. So the fact that his policies would actually help them is yet another example of him being an idiot and a hypocrite.

Yeah, tell that to Crisis on Infinite Earths.

It was also a civil suit, not criminal.

That was a civil suit, not criminal.

Starfleet Academy series is also in production.

The rationale for this actually makes some sense. You wouldn’t want an incumbent to be able to remove an opponent by railroading them into a minor felony conviction. With the way Trump ran things, if all it took was a minor felony to make sure Biden was ineligible, he absolutely would have pressured the DOJ to find something.

That’s just a taxi.

Geez, 2015!? Why the hell did this surface now?

I think it’s ok for them to have stocks, they just should be put into a blind trust to manage, and they shouldn’t be able to make any transactions outside of that for the duration of their term in office.

That’s true when a private person sues, but the rules are different for a government entity, which is what’s happening here. A sane court system would throw this out and issue some kind of rebuke to the DA who’s pressing this, but we don’t seem to have one of those

I’m not sure how much truth there is to it, but here goes.

The basic idea is that they’ve convinced themselves that they can get naked together and insert and it’s ok, but actively thrusting makes it a sin. So they will get into position and lay still. A friend then bounces the bed, jostling the participants about, and basically making them have sex but “not by their own actions,” which somehow makes it all alright in the eyes of God.

First one, then the other.

He does apparently have a habit of trying to flush documents.

No, it’s not something that is meant to be broader advice or a metaphor for something else, it’s literally advice for playing blackjack. What they’re saying is that it isn’t actually a good idea to split on an 18 when playing.

Believe me, I’m not saying this is a good thing. He’s definitely getting special treatment, and I think that’s wrong. However, it’s not quite as bad as it sounds.

He’s still on the hook for the full amount if his appeal fails, he just no longer has to put it all up to start the appeal.

My fiancee’s car doesn’t like my phone. Sometimes it pairs just fine and gives no issues, other times it will disconnect every 30 seconds. Literally will be working fine, playing music, and then bam, no connection, and sometimes it will be a struggle getting it to reconnect. Doesn’t happen with anyone else’s phone. My phone also never has issues connecting to my car.

Our smart TV (Vizio) sometimes randomly has the video apps crash. In the middle of an episode it will just randomly kick us back to the main menu screen. Seen it happen with multiple apps, so it’s not just a problem with one app’s coding. Happens rarely enough that it’s not a big issue, but still weird.

Yeah, SCOTUS just kicked it back to the lower courts and said they weren’t going to keep the pause.
