Yeah and the senators who ratified women's right to vote were all elected by men but they still did the ethical thing.

At least Sanders seems to want to reduce billionaires' disproportionate influence on politics.

Maybe you're ok if Elon Musk's opinion on how much you should get taxed counts a billion times more than yours, but you really shouldn't be.

According to this: https://www.wkrg.com/alabama-news/lakeith-smith-resentencing-alabama/

The time was for two charges, theft/burglary and felony murder. The resentencing set the prison term to 30 years, effectively setting the sentence for felony murder alone at 5 years.

Probably he's on a diet and his wife won't let him eat more than 1 order of meatballs.

Also he tricked the ents into walking past Isengard so that they'd see how many trees Saruman whacked and take an ax to him instead.

*You can only teleport out to where you teleported in from.

Does this mean you get dropped into outer space if you stay inside for more than checks notes ~4 minutes?

Is it feasible? Sure. The limit on this kind of calculation is basically how much detail do we need to add to the environment (i.e., can we make the model) and how high resolution does the sound wave need to be (can we calculate it given finite compute resources).

To get something that roughly sounds like a rock? Not difficult to model or calculate, if we make some reasonable assumptions.

The sound of a wet towel thrown in the water during a hailstorm? Uhhh that's a tough one.

Simulating sound uses classical mechanics governed by the wave equation, which is well-understood. In terms of CPU power, the calculation to propagate a simple sound wave (wavelet) could probably have been done on a TI-89 calculator from high school.

The idea is checking out with more than a basket of goods is really inconvenient. And I agree, it's much slower and there's no space for it.

If you're not afraid of the legal system why not slap a Disney logo on there too?
