I read that in 1900, there were (coincidentally) 1900 auto companies producing 3000 makes of automobile. Today there are 14.


Right now there are around 4000 kinds of "cryptocurrencies".


I'm starting my own. It's called "Tulipmania".  I'll let you know...

I think doge will be one of the big 3 and could ultimately have a higher market cap than Bitcoin.  It's the peoples coin and it's global:

Doge as a universal currency would benefit the globe in so many ways.  It would prevent inflation from wiping out lifetimes of savings in many countries.

Doge gets a lot of free advertisement.  Way more than Bitcoin and ethereum

The thing I like about crypto is that it's open all night and on weekends.

Elon Musk made some comment about Doge 35 minutes ago...  There's the bump.

I’m fully vaccinated so the CDC has said it’s now safe for me to no longer need a mask in most instances. That’s great!
However, now I feel like I need to wear a shirt that says “I’m actually fully vaccinated — not just an **** who simply won’t wear a mask.”

Right is it's top 4 market cap.  You think one of the top 3 is crazy?  I don't think so Faith.  Invest in doge coin.

I took a photo of my vaccination card and keep it on my phone. But  Michigan isn't doing the no-mask thing yet so it's kind of moot.

I think I have around 9000 right now.  I'm trying to figure out if there is any time of day or day of the week that it dips.
I used to have weird rules...never sell on Friday, never buy on Monday, buy in October... I suppose it was all superstition.

Maybe they're in the Canadian Rock Hall of Fame.  How about Bachman Turner Overdrive?

It is big....I wonder what kind of force and how much...Do you know?


"...And when being unlawfully arrested, the ruling said, a person must only “use the proportionate force necessary to resist” — meaning a suspect cannot use lethal force to escape if the officer is using non-deadly force to detain...."


Again though, we know that police have and will escalate to lethal force near 100% of the time. It is reasonable to assume that any arrest attempt is potentially fatal to the victim so "proportionate force necessary to resist" to have any chance of success will have to involve lethal force. 
In fact, a victim cannot even inform an officer of the consequences of an attempted illegal arrest to warn them off as that would be a crime. "Threatening a government official" or the equivalent.

It seems to come down to a fast draw high noon duel and to read it as written, the perp/officer gets to draw first. -and of course the perp/officer will be armored.
And then the victim would have to survive the inevitable rabid 100+ police officer manhunt before he/she can make their case to a court.

It is big, but it is also a mess. You have to wonder what world the justices think they live in. 
The only practical application might be a defense against obstruction, resisting arrest, and injury to an officer charges once you have been arrested, jailed, charged, and no doubt "tuned up" by members of the arresting dept and jail guards.
