Um, not sure if that is true.  Religion is a protected class. 

“I love that it was just a spur the moment suggestion that turned into such an iconic move.”

Well, an WV man and his wife were just busted for trying to sell nuclear sub secrets to what they thought was a foreign actor (in reality an FBI agent). Fishing expeditions are common. I doubt the game was created for this purpose, but I’m sure agents peruse the boards and/or post themselves for this purpose.

“Players who commit time and money to a certain nation’s tech tree need that tree to be competitive, or else they’ll lose matches and thus in-game currency.”

“...definitely meant to harm them physically and emotionally...”

Water conducts electricity if the voltage is high enough. The water is the conduit, not the piping.

“There are many people unhappy with this...”

Careful, your bigotry is showing.

But safe tongue weight is a function of load. Too little is unstable at high speeds (again, we in the US have to assume the drive will be at high speed). I think there are specific speed limits e.g. in the UK if you are towing; and I believe you need a ‘towing license.’ In the US you can tow a relatively large amount…

Likely the same reason towing capacity is magically higher in Europe for the same vehicle.  Regulations.  I think towing in Europe is a more regulated affair (imagine that), with slower speeds.  In the US, if it is rated to tow, you need to be able to go fast. The (safe) towing capacity decreases with speed. 

I drive barefoot almost exclusively from spring to start of winter (I live in the south). Seriously.

“which included her ideas about organizing the site, naming its categories, and enabling online purchases.”

Yes!  Love it.  I am envisioning a Model 3 rolling of the line, just as they hit their production target... Only to have the doors fall off.

The OP literally quoted text from the 3rd paragraph. Either the blog post was edited or there is some misunderstanding. But getting the the second paragraph was clearly not the issue.

I have access behind that paywall, but I’m not combing through that book :-/

I would like to see that data. 

I’m not sure how you came to that conclusion with the data given. I think for every example in favor of your hypothesis there is another negating it.

Absolutely. But that is not what the OP is arguing.  The headline does read as if the cops intentionally did it.  It is what it is.

Um, quantum tunneling happens all the time. Any field emission electron source experiences tunneling events at a rate trillions of times per second if emitting micro-amps of current. Sorry, couldn’t resist.
