The Alaska one North and West are obvious, but there are some islands that cross the date line, making them technically east.

Someone else posted a graphic, but basically Maine is significantly farther east which cancels out the North/South difference of other states.

I wouldn’t be surprised if drugs that failed quality control were labeled for animal use.

Some fun geography one’s.
Maine is the closest US state to Africa.
Alaska is the northern most, Western most, and Eastern most state in the US.

P is for Pterodactyl.

Interstate compacts require congressional approval. This one doesn’t have that. There’s also a good argument that a state giving all it’s votes to someone the state didn’t vote for in the majority violates the rights of it’s citizens to a republican form of government.

It’s not just battles trying to delay it. There’s very good legal arguments that congressional approval is required at a minimum in addition to states signing on.

Maybe you found a stupid expensive one or it was real and made to be non firing. This looks like the same price range as an airsoft version.

This compact is extremely unlikely to ever be enforceable. The ensuing court cases would make 2000 seem minor.

This article seems to be lumping mobile and PC into the same bucket which is probably more of a red flag for the analysis they are doing here. Of course revenue is going to be more split when you add in tons of mobile games that are very effective at taking lots of money with minimal interaction.

It was about resource management. The Germans didn’t have a lot of oil to use on massive amounts of tanks, so they built really strong tanks that could devastate the enemy and then resupply. This also ties into why they didn’t have as many trucks and forklifts. What the Germans were able to accomplish was impressive given the resources they had.

What the US could produce was on an entirely different level though once they switched to a wartime economy. They also had different constraints, it had to be lighter to be loaded into a ship in one piece. It had to be reliable or easily serviceable because it wasn’t going to be able to get back to the US easily. A lot of things the US produced were more disposable because they weren’t limited by oil or steel, but by the size of ship cranes and ocean transport.

Just make it the last thing.

I’m not looking to pull 7 Gs anytime soon. That’s more than going to space.

For a while (maybe still) Russian rockets even had a shotgun on board after wolves got to a landing first.

Catching on fire is weirdly absent here

If you consider insurance payouts a windfall there’s probably fraud involved. Insurance generally doesn’t pay more than a thing is worth because of fraud. It’s a little more loose with things that can’t easily be valued, like art or a life.

Insurance is all mostly the same regardless of type. You aren’t going to find a company willing to take the counter party risk of you losing a claimed retail value of a product, especially a commodity. If it was collectables or bespoke crafts then it would likely be different.

Assuming it wasn’t a company owned warehouse, the landlord will probably be making an argument that their disgruntled employee makes the fire their fault.

If you’re in the warehouse building industry, them burning down can be very profitable…

They probably didn’t make money. Insurance won’t cover the retail value of unsold product, just the cost to make it. The building owner can get replacement cost for the building, but still loses out on rent.

The insurance company will raise rates to compensate for the payment, but it’s probably enough to hurt them for a quarter too.

If they’re lucky they might understand kubernetes though.
