Project 2025 leader confesses deep Trump ties in damning interview

To clarify, he was found liable for sexual assault, missing NY states legal definition of rape but those sexual assault actions should still be understood as rape in common language.
The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape,’ ” Kaplan wrote.
He added: “Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.
Kaplan said New York’s legal definition of “rape” is “far narrower” than the word is understood in “common modern parlance.”
The former requires forcible, unconsented-to penetration with one’s penis. But he said that the conduct the jury effectively found Trump liable for — forced digital penetration — meets a more common definition of rape. He cited definitions offered by the American Psychological Association and the Justice Department, which in 2012 expanded its definition of rape to include penetration “with any body part or object.”

'Limitless' energy: how floating solar panels near the equator could power future population hotspots
Reply in thread
That’s completely untrue, it takes between 2-4 years depending on the type of solar panel to generate as much energy as was needed to create it. Leaving 26-28 years of free energy given a typical 30 year lifespan.

AOC says many who want Joe Biden off ticket also want to remove Kamala
Reply in thread
Probably voted that way because she was assured Biden would continue to hammer out a better deal for the rail union, which he did! Better healthcare, more PTO, and the addition of paid sick days!
Here’s the article right from the rail union thanking Biden for not giving up on their fight. https://www.ibew.org/media-center/Articles/23Daily/2306/230620_IBEWandPaid#:~:text=These%2012%20unions%20represent%20more,agreement%20for%20paid%20sick%20leave.%E2%80%9D

All non-dairy milks have their place, so it depends where you’re using it as a replacement to cows milk.
I enjoy Oatly oat milk for cereal, coffee, and if a recipe calls for milk I typically use it.
Coconut milk is delicious in smoothies.
Nut milks are good in baking.

Jimmy Carter at 100: A century of changes for a president, the US and the world since 1924
Reply in thread
I disagree that nice people are bad at politics. I mean we have Tim Waltz today as successful governor and VP-nominee and he might be the nicest man alive.
Carter was a poor communicator and suffered from an ineffective cabinet. As an engineer he approach problems with a practical to find the solution, but sometimes there are no practical solutions and people just need comfort/inspiration from their leaders.
