only 320 of 79,704 total federal defendants – fewer than 1% – went to trial and won their cases

Federal prosecutors are patient, because that's what wins cases. I'd bet my left kidney Trump is in jail within 12 months.

This is garbage data. Learn the difference between revenue, gross profit, and net profit.

What are you referring to? I haven't heard anything about the three body problem being "solved" - there's still no general solution afaik

It's such a shitty experience if content can only be consumed on certain platforms, which is what it sounds like you're proposing.

Watching portrait footage on a TV sucks, dude.

It is an opioid, although atypical compared to other opioids.

It has been found to act as an atypical agonist of the μ-opioid receptor

Hermes reawakens to guide souls into the virtual afterlife.

This one was tricky, and I'm not happy with the final result. I could not get dall e to give wings to Hermes' wand, shoes, and head. It insisted on giving everyone wings too.

The picture is using a mix of revenue and gross profits, as far as I see no net profits. Gross profit is revenue after cost of goods, but without accounting for the cost of running the business. In starbucks' case it likely means "this is how much we brought in revenue, minus the cost of the coffee, syrups, etc.". They still have to pay employees, leases, etc. before you actually get to surplus or net profit.

According to this, their net profit for 2023 was ~$4 billion. Giving the same argument with that number is a little less profound.

Yes! I've had to fight like hell to enjoy working out. It's taken years. But now I deeply enjoy it. It kind of feels like competetive sports - it's just really cool to see how far you can push your body, and to see it grow and get stronger over time.

I had to start by just getting into really basic routines doing things I wouldn't hate. Little jogs, light weights, etc. Eventually you stop dreading going to work out. As you get stronger it gets easier and more enjoyable.

Yup.

The point is, you don't have to use misleading data to tell compelling stories. Use the real data. The net profit of ~$5 billion is still enough for a healthy raise for their wage workers.

Nope - it was removed from sange and halberd, but stayed on S&Y (while slow resistance was added). Status resistance is just more expensive now.
