Practice, I guess?

To combat jet lag, or otherwise reset your sleep schedule if it has drifted...

  1. Go 24 hours without eating.

  2. Go to bed early enough to make sure you get 8-10 hours before you normally want to wake up.

  3. Using an alarm, wake up a bit earlier than you usually want to wake up.

  4. Make a big breakfast, eating when you normally want to wake up.

Now your body will have reset its circadian rhythm, and you'll naturally wake up at that time.

Pretty sure they are referring to average annual temperature. The winters may get colder in some areas, but the summers are getting hotter everywhere, and to a bigger degree. So the average temperature will continue to trend up.

If the big bang had never occurred, queer.af would never have died.

Ergo: big bang killed queer.af.

They almost certainly picked it just for the joke.

queer.af = Queer AF = Queer as fuck!

It's like how popular the TLD of Guernsey (.gg) is with gaming websites.

I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even realize what country code the TLD was when they registered it.

'we should have separated the people into their own regions'

We should launch all the white supremacists to Mars and see how well they fare building their own civilization.

On a tangential note: I propose we ship the top 1% wealthiest people to Mars and make them colonize it.

We can send all the life sentence and death row convicts with them.

Sure, but there's also cost to the state to be considered.

That said, the common methods for execution used today are surprisingly expensive.

If God wanted those kids fed, he'd have rained mana from the heavens, or multiplied bread and fish for them. If they are hungry, they clearly deserve it.

I'd argue that an unconstitutional law is itself illegal, and thus does not render an unconstitutional action legal. That said, I'm sure I'd lose any argument on the constitutionality of the war power granted by Congress to the President.

The truth is, our Constitution was written in a time when the world moved much more slowly. It's unfortunately no longer practical to expect it to work in a world as fast paced as ours is today. We need a full rewrite, but I do not trust anyone to rewrite it.

I guess I meant that those standing authorizations should not exist, as they effectively abdicate a power the Constitution outlined for Congress, transferring it to the President. They erode the checks and balances.

While I agree, let's not pretend that presidents haven't been launching combat missions without formal declaration of war for decades. Longer than I've been alive. It's one of the biggest expansions of executive power we have allowed, under the guise of "the war on terror", "the cold war", or even "the war on drugs".
