Yes, it’s 34 district crimes. That’s why it’s 34 charges.

My understanding is that in white collar crimes like these, the number of charges does not bear on whether the sentence includes jail time for a defendant with no prior criminal history. Unless the dollar amount is exorbitant; but in this case I don’t think anybody made any money.

My understanding is that these sorts of white collar crimes don’t normally result in jail time for defendants with no previous criminal record, in New York state courts.

I get the feeling that the number of counts doesn’t really matter here, because they are not really unique crimes. My understanding is that they brought 34 charges because they had 34 documents they thought they could prove in court were fraudulent, but it is materialy the same crime (deliberately mischaracterizing the nature of the payment)

I think that “wipes out” here is referring to the lead that Trump had in the polls previously. All the states went from a clear lead for Trump over Biden, to basically even, with one exception showing a clear lead.

I think that it suggests a competitive race, rather than one side coasting to victory. It is hard to draw concrete conclusions still, but the clear lead is definitely gone

I think that the answer to this depends on the audience and the topic or nature of the discussion.

I prefer precise, technical language if the audience has experience in the topic. You can save a lot of time by not explaining things that the readers should, reasonably know.

I think simpler language is appropriate for a more general audience or higher level discussion.

It can be challenging to find the right balance on a forum, like this, where you don’t necessarily know who the audience is.

I’m not sure that there needs to be a any grand cosmic reason for life to exist. Life could just be an accident of random events in our little corner of the universe.

Natural selection offers an explanation for how life changes across generations in response to challenges in the environment. It does not require a plan, just that the outcome of a chaotic process (reproduction) creates mutations that produce a slight edge, or at least no reduction in reproductive efficiency.

Not sure exactly what you want, but like this may be what you want. https://github.com/PeterDaveHello/ipinfo.tw

There are simpler solutions that are just a php script on your web server if you’re only interested in IP address (I couldn’t find a good example quickly on mobile)

I think that’s kind of rhe point of these sorts to demos to begin with.

The company says we’re developing a product that, we are not ready to ship today, but will be this awesome. Give us some money and you can see how awesome it will be.

I generally assume that anything a company says about a product/service that is not shipping today is the best possible spin on the best version of what they’d like to sell. What you buy probably won’t be what is shown as an early demo
