Warrants used to search Andrew's homes were unlawful, court says

Warrants used to search Andrew's homes were unlawful, court says

A criminal investigation into the former prince continues and police have retained material seized from his homes.

what happens if police discover evidence of other crimes connected to Jeffrey Epstein during a search that is subsequently declared unlawful?

what if there's evidence that the UK security services helped cover up those crimes?

oh so no option will resolve till the year 2100?

@Lorelai it was absolutely obvious since at least ~February 2025 something like this was likely.

But it is very dubious it was true in any meaningful way in 2024, which is part of the market's conditions.

I used to understand the grid even less than I do now

My current understanding (no pun intended) is that it would take a truly massive amount of energy being thrown into or taken from the grid to significantly affect frequency, and even then the system would quickly rebalance - if you're putting energy in you're basically paying your enemy's bill, and if you're using energy you're gonna cause a blackout.

So yeah, this is basically "Israel uses nuclear devices against Iran, except it's power plants not bombs". All in all a pretty reasonable option for the standards of this market.

@BrunoParga I've seen a youtube video about this

found it!

@Chumchulum Order up!

@BoltonBailey to clarify, is this being defined as e.g. >90% of social media posts/comments being secret bots as of 2024?

@JamesF Steelman: contrails have a non-trivial impact on global warming. The EPA in 2009 declared that carbon dioxide was a "pollutant" under the Clean Air Act. This was controversial at the time, because "pollutant" at the time of act's passing was intended to gasses with direct, localized harm, like carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and sulfar dioxide, stuff that would colloquially be understood as "toxic chemicals". That language was codified by the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022.
So the water vapor in contrails causes global warming, and the EPA holds that gasses which cause global warming are "pollutants", and "pollutants" is what the EPA originally called the category of CO, SO2, and particulate matter, that the public might colloquially identify as "toxic chemicals".

@TheAllMemeingEye @JamesF a bunch of streamers would qualify

@JamesF duplicates.

@Hakari Different last names.

@GG right, thanks.

@JamesF as of when? a date or at least a year is needed here.

also @JamesF would it count if a cure has been discovered and synthesized but hasn't been released yet because it is currently in lengthy clinical trials?
