Usually heating is not the main concern in Abilene. But on that date? Yes. Yes it was.

In case some may not be aware, it seems this is about FMLA leave. The Family and Medical Leave Act in the United States guarantees a certain amount of time on unpaid leave for certain family and medical situations. The only protection you get from the law is your employer has to offer you your job back if your leave complies with the act.
Otherwise, there is no federally guaranteed paid leave (*) of any type. And it's usually entirely legal to fire people because they carry high (or more commonly low) PTO balances. (California might be a little different on this).
(*) The only other form a federally guaranteed leave I know about is if you are a military reservist or national guard called up to active duty, your employer must allow you to return to your job after completing active duty.
Then there's also the fact that, how would a machine be able to confirm that the Switch cartridge definitely works? I think you would need human labor for that,
To answer this question, you don't plug the cartridge-under-test into a regular Switch console. You plug it into a custom test rig, and the test rig has custom electronics and programming to interrogate the functions of the pins. It would probably also read the entire contents of the ROM and compute a hash to verify that the correct software is loaded.
They look like they've been inserted into the console by human hands.
Given what they sell these cartridges for, i think that would certainly be within the realm of economic possibility in a factory setting. A lot of electronics still get final assembly into enclosures by hand.
just to hit them and teach them to stay off the road
That right there is intent to commit "an act dangerous to human life" under the Texas murder statute quoted above.
NYPD has no authority to detain anyone outside the borders of New York, so who is going to operate the flight?
A private plane leaving New York going east must obtain oceanic clearance from FAA air traffic controllers to transit the oceanic airspace. (I'm just assuming that there's some way to get out of the mess of NYC controlled airspace from an outlying field on VFR without contacting ATC. But in the oceanic region class A tends to drop really low to try to get under.).
In any case, such a flight would be confronted immediately by the US Atlantic Air Defense Identification Zone. All flights are required to establish two-way communication and be assigned a discrete transponder code. Non-compliers are intercepted by the US Air Force for visual identification, and they can be coerced into landing back in US territory. So it would be pretty easy for the feds to get them there.
In addition civilian flights entering and leaving US territory are required to file eAPIS notices with CBP containing passenger manifests with passport numbers, etc., at least 60 minutes before departure. So if this plane hits the ADIZ with no eAPIS or with fishy eAPIS, it's another way for the feds to find out which one to intercept.
But in any case, a more likely response is just a TFR that closes New York or the entire North Atlantic airspace to civilians. And nobody gets to go to Europe that night. Nothing on that scale has happened since 9/11, but we're talking about kidnapping a head of state, not Edward Snowden.
The pyramid was built in Memphis, TN as an homage to Memphis, Egypt. It served as a 20,000 seat sports arena for about a decade and a half, and it went under when the Memphis Grizzlies demanded the city build them a newer and snazzier stadium.
To be more specific, there's a strain of white Christian nationalists that believe the book of Revelation predicts that Jews will rebuild a third temple on the Temple Mount site and resume animal sacrifice before the rapture or any other end-of-days event can occur.
To these people, activities that make that outcome more likely are laudable expressions of faith. There's even a group that is trying to breed a perfectly red heifer in Texas, because apparently you need to sacrifice a perfectly ritually "clean" and unblemished red heifer in order to properly kick off a new temple.
Must 'av been that got danged Biden administration, I tell you hwat?
Haha, one year? How quaint. (Cries into ISO C++ standards)
This is the case in nearly every state in the USA that uses machines. The big exception is Louisiana.
You might beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride.
The service only operates 3 days per week. That's 6 trains per week, total. 3 in each direction.
