It's actually because the thing that makes you make those faces is the acceleration, not the speed.

All three reference frames shown are accelerated, non inertial frames. But the first two have "fictitious" centrifugal accelerations somewhere around 0.5-2.5 g. The third frame has a detectable centrifugal acceleration, but it's like 0.003 g or something, and can be lumped in with gravity for many types of problems.

Surely, bankruptcy courts must be familiar with the tactic of "using shell companies to buy your own stuff back at bankruptcy auction for pennies on the dollar."

And ICE right now doesn't take orders from Trump... They take orders from that other guy. The ACLU knows this because they understand constitutional law. They're not looking for the concrete deportation plans; they want general background on what the infrastructure looks like, so they can file challenges with the correct factual details quickly if shit does kick off.

For example, if they get the tail numbers on all the planes they can track them in flightaware or in a worse case by recruiting spotters. If they want to file a lawsuit, they're gonna need to know some details about who got sent where and when.

Gabe is absolutely right on this. If it doesn't completely recenter the first person shooter genre, it's not really a half life game.

Major petroleum marketplace. The commodity trading floor is in a big city somewhere else. But a lot of the oil actually changes hands in our around Cushing.

It was. And in fact the Supreme Court ruled in McGirt v. Oklahoma that the reservations still exist. One consequence is that Google Maps now shades the entire eastern half of the state in dark shading showing the borders between the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, and so forth.

The tribal governments are taking an increasing role in providing public services to all of the citizens within their borders, as the civil state government descends deeper into libertarianism.
