Gross

The surface evidence is that the courts stated the alien could not be deported for safety reasons. The evidence of his being in the gang were not documented in court and thus is ambiguous. Unless there is some new information, this is a gross show of obstinance from Bondi, Miller (on video)... and Trump if he is in the details vs believing what his team tells him.

A culture obsessed with strength over technique...

Google’s Willow chip (105 qubits) performed a benchmark calculation in under five minutes that would take a supercomputer 10 septillion years. The power to defeat much of today's cryptographic systems is estimated ~2035.

Was he in a gang or not? This is ambiguous and changes the perspective. The government says he was... some say he wasn't... None of us could possibly know. The Supreme Court said the District Court’s order to “effectuate” Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia’s return may exceed its authority and needs clarification, emphasized the government’s role in foreign affairs, confirmed his removal to El Salvador was illegal, and said the government must facilitate his release and address his case. - https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a949_lkhn.pdf

The outcome of quantum entanglement can be understood, but the why is beyond current comprehension. It is weird that quantum computing can use the technology and that this has the power to create an existential end game. Not much different than how fire could destroy before folks understood what caused fire?

FWIW: There is a rational counter to Pascal's wager.

I’m blown away by how science shows us an unfathomable universe, like quantum entanglement where particles “talk” instantly no matter how far apart, or electricity, which people used to believe was divine lightning. Quantum entanglement is when particles (electron, photon, etc.) are connected, so measuring one instantly correlates to the other’s state, no matter the distance. They can be 'entangled' such that two coins always landing opposite, even galaxies apart. A bit is either 0 or 1... but a qubit can be 0, 1, or both at once until you measure it. This modern day magic makes me wonder about the universe's origins. Does the complexity point to God?

A leader here is one that others follow in politics, business, military... They guide others to a goal, make tough decisions under pressure, competence... We can pick on the presidents... with Stephen... what substance is there to discuss?

Many successful wrestlers have had a bad cut before... Who are wrestlers we've known to have poor matches off the scale or during their last match before an evening weigh in?

In my view, a wrestler who’s just a few tenths over on a vetted scale should either move up to the next weight class or cut weight safely to avoid risk at their targeted weight class. The answer should be "have discipline next time" before the event rather than "find another scale."

What's the scoop on the Mocco boys?

Some level of leadership is required... government, business... I believe every president fits that mold. Stephen A. Smith is like Jason Whitlock, Deion Sanders, Herschel Walker...

Here is the proof that AI is faulty. The ai personality assessment said you were an asshole but not a troll. Clearly you are a troll.

It is a tool to learn but not an authority of truth. It is only as good as the information it accesses, which is often misleading. That would be like saying wikipedia is an authority of truth… nope.

Thank you. I think the poll is bs. It is not a right wing company though… What is your stance in the question? Is there justification to killing and property damage?

No one said ‘abolish the law.’ With the focus on Christian forgiveness, I’m reinforcing that the Bible supports the state’s role to bear the sword and wrong doers should fear their punishment.

I would like to know if the poll is real. One person has said no. RV says he understands, but has not said if he agrees…

Your comprehension is improving but inadequate. He knew he “lost” AND believes it was rigged. He knew he lost when he admitted and conceded in 2021. This isn’t new information. The election was confirmed rigged in the ways laid out before. You can argue semantics… legal fortification or whatever… one sided stacked deck… Wide spread fraud has not been proven… yet. Georgia is a problem. The double counted 3k votes is real… the refusal to allow the inspection is real… When so much has come out about what was denied was true… we are to believe georgia’s hands are clean. Willful ignorance. If I keep repeating the message, will you eventually comprehend or shall you continue spinning?

Forgiveness means letting go of resentment and letting go of that want for revenge. It does not forgoe consequences. Mathew does not abolish the law.

Is there anyone involved with wrestling, who doesn't know multiple wrestlers that struggle with weight management? Why isn’t the certified weight and 1.5% rule working as well as it should? Is it loopholes, manipulation, or enforcement challenges?

Regardless, you are welcome.

Malware is more of a security issue than a performance one, but since you are such a pleasure to banter with... The answer is to block the ads OR configure Norton to exempt the site. And then do not click the ads. Never click on ads... And report the problem to Bob. Ideally the screenshot of the entire screen... Norton plus the ads. A wall of dirty text while learning this morning... The Intermat uses Invision Community software, plus hosted servers, assumed as cheaply as possible, I'll estimate the lower end of $1-5K in annual expenses (not counting employee expense) Forum members and guests contribute funds indirectly through their page views, resulting in ad impressions. Advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions (views), where an impression is counted when an ad loads on a webpage, whether clicked or not. The ad service provider splits revenue with the publisher, Intermat. The payouts can vary, but say $12 per 1000 ad impressions. The Intermat must balance ad density to maximize revenue without hurting user experience. They don't want to lose users but a few complaints are tolerable. They need to hit minimal ad requirements to receive a payout. The intermat privacy policy says they use "All or partial advertising on this Website or App is managed by Playwire LLC." Playwire is an upgrade from Google Adsense. Playwire requires a minimum of 50K page views monthly and 3 ad units displayed in highly viewable locations. Meeting this minimum requirement should cover the expenses needed for the forum. Running an adblocker prevents the page ad impressions and prevents the Intermat from collecting revenue. This is why it respectable to allow the ads or contribute funds in some fashion through an Intermat subscription, Rokfin subscription, etc. Norton flagged intermatwrestle.com/forums for “malware advertising threats,” likely due to malvertising; malicious ads from Playwire’s programmatic network (30+ partner/providers) that could deliver malware, redirects, or fake downloads without user clicks. Playwire does have periodic complaints of ad density, intrusive ads, and malvertising. Sometimes nefarious actors are able to buy ads and these can slip through Playwire's vetting process. This is infrequent but it can occur. I noticed myself that my adblocks had stopped working. I changed the configuration around 'intrusive' ads and they were blocked again. The problems was that the ads were marked as non intrusive, while they behaved as intrusive. This is a problem with playwire more than the Intermat. If the Intermat had more page views, I think playwire would provide higher quality ad units and ads. The Intermat can change the ad unit layouts, report problems to playwire, swap playwire for a different company... Intermat probably isn't happy with the user complaints... but there isn't a lot of great options to help with revenue

No, I’m bothered when people refuse to consider new information. Like dismissing information that goes against what they were first told or what they first assumed. Like dismissing the possibility of voting issues in Georgia in 2020… already proven in some numbers… This week my wife told me an event was x, y, z because she read it on a web site. I had already spoken to the event organizer and had all the details. I shared this, and it had zero effect on her belief. It came up again. Same conversation. I asked how she confidently knows better than what the event organizer verbally told me… Please you can also read the texts. She woke up and said okay, but the site needs updated; it makes her uncomfortable… The number of times she has admitted to being wrong or apologized… same as my middle child… a defensive mech… am trying so hard to demonstrate it’s okay to admit being wrong; to expect it… to grow from it…
