I have not seen any discussions on the impact on PFA's from these homemade 3D plastic goods.

Is there any reason to believe there would be any? My understanding of PFAS is that they are used in the application of various coating like things (teflon originally, also since then waterproofing applications, paints, makeup, and firefighting foams)... none of which seem particularly related to making thermoplastics and pushing them through a nozzle into various shapes?

Because the implication is that underlying asset is regressing or degrading. It's very obvious, and this comment just highlights your lack of reading comprehension.

You can find all the professors employed by a public university and their salary. How is ice any different when it comes to accountability for public funds?

How do you define maturity time here? Is it when the incident occurred (in this case the downfall or the invasion)? Otherwise why is there a buffer between the time this incident took place to the time the contracts matured?


Maturity is when the other party pays back the initial principal back which in this case is the $1.

So for an example contract "Trump invokes War Powers against Venezuela by...?" - https://polymarket.com/event/trump-invokes-war-powers-agains...

It's maturity is ideally the date listed in the contract (i.e. by Jan 9th) but may extend for 10 days in case a report's publication was delayed.

That said, you can sell contracts to other users (which is typically what happens ...) so when people buy a Yes contract for 5c they're not buying from Polymarket; they're buying it from somebody else. This allows you to make money before maturity. The reason for this is that you can mint YES+NO contracts by paying Polymarket $1 which nets you 0$ as you spent $1 and between the Yes and No contracts Polymarket pays back $1. But if you spend $1 for a YES+NO and sell the No for 50c to another user and the Yes for 70c then you net 20c or alternatively you sell the No for 5c to another user and hold the Yes to maturity and get the $1 back from Polymarket.

Although to be clear, I don't exactly know all the inner workings of Polymarket so it could be the case that they've started to act more like a House than a Market and they're actually putting money on the other side of the contract (IIRC, Kalshi is starting to do that for Sports-based contracts either that or having a partner company do it as opposed to actual users).


Legally, you're required to pay taxes even if you're getting underpaid. Many undocumented people use ITINs. Your whole argument is based on false assumptions.


Gosh golly gee, someone who decided to break the law to enter wouldn't possibly break other laws for their own benefit, would they!?

I don't care if "many" people do anything: if they are here without status, they should be removed post haste.


If you think he cares about Americans? Let alone optics. I've got a bridge to sell you.


I think he cares about the optics of Americans dying at least between now and the midterms.


Detaining people based on their skin color is not normal anywhere except US


As an actual brown person, I was concerned about these laws being used to target people by skin color. However if you read the article, it's all about white European migrants being detained, so I think it's pretty clear that the law is not about brown people bad. Nice try though


US has descended into a banana Republic. And I'm surprised how many people are cheering it along the way.


Americans have just seemingly become a rather cruel people.


They didn't become anything. What happened is that the Republican party turned hard towards pandering to the minority of cruel people that were always present.


Yes, and they won. Cruelty won.


Slavery was legal as well. I'm glad there were people with enough common sense to see for what it is.


So go fix the law. Until then it is illegal.


How do you feel about slave catchers enforcing the law back in the day?


False equivalence. The scenario with immigration is more like: Someone builds a house on your land. You tell the cops to kick them out. Protesters disrupt the cops, stating: "OMG you'll make them homeless!"
