  1. I used NPR as the reference as an acceptably neutral reporting agency, but they didn't go back and update the article. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case. https://ij.org/case/lech-v-city-of-greenwood/

  2. This isn't a caveat. The city wasn't ever going to rebuild the house for him. Any compensation was always going to be monetary. The fact that he spent more money than he would have gotten isn't relevant. If someone crashes into and totals your car your replacement car isn't expected to be equally as old and used as the one you lost. You're awarded money and can purchase a replacement at your discretion.

If the lid falls off your mailbox you have no claim against the USPS. Nor do you have any claim against the police if they, say, destroy your house.

Poisons are ingested where as venoms are injected.

If you bite (or drink, etc.) it it's poison. If it bites (or stings, etc.) you it's venom.

There's a phrase that used to be used to defend gun rights, 'If you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns.'

If you make porn illegal only illegal porn will exist. They're not eliminating porn they're just shifting the source of porn to websites that don't care about compliance with US laws.

The cube doesn't have to be able to take the hit, it just has to not be on that side of the Death Star.

The stock wouldn't be subject to IPO laws because there was no IPO.

Trump Media 'went public' by being bought by another, already publicly traded, company. That company changed its appearance to become the current Trump Media thus bypassing the IPO process.

Digital age verification is only advocated by people who don't know how the internet works. All it's going to do is drive usage away from regulated sites to unregulated ones.
