They each have their own protection detail. Each will quickly move to protect the one they are responsible for, which will mean separating them (probably by a lot of distance).
Someone under SS protection can choose to waive it. There are some former presidents who deemed it unnecessary later in life.
No idea about the rest of your hypothetical
Sometimes. It was also frequently not connected to anything.
You’re getting down voted because this entire thing is literally about the book he published.
Often there are contracts. Sometimes for a very long time, often multi-year. There are sometimes escape clauses (like a morality clause for a spokesperson), but these aren’t easy to invoke.
I suspect many of them are up for annual review/renewal, when they can be terminated without penalty. It might also just be an attempt to get better terms.
FWIW, here is the US, the ground wire is often completely exposed. As in, no colored jacket, just the bare copper throughout the entire run. Attached to ground at the breaker box, and attached to any grounding ports or metal boxes throughout the building.
This is disinformation. Nate silver has directly called out the use of that screenshot.

Everything is now 16.9oz (500ml). I think it started from bottled water
Now I miss Fruitopia, and 20 oz bottles…
Shrinkflation is smaller quantities and/or higher prices. This is actually tracked in a variety of places.
Changing to a cheaper recipe/supplier is very hard to put metrics on, and isn’t tracked anywhere that I know of
Companies do not fuck around when an AG comes around. Enough complaints, or complaints that are ignored, is a quick way to get sued by the AG. The AG’s office has extensive resources to easily win in court, even getting your entire company’s - including parent and children companies - banned across the entire state.
It’s also pretty easy to get the AG involved. You have to provide a decent amount of supporting documentation, but most states have an online form you can file.
As an example, 20 years ago, a company tried to deny me a mail-in rebate. This was while my state AG was actively suing them for not paying rebates. I spent 30 minutes filling out the form with the required evidence. Receipts, etc. A month later I had my $15 rebate check, no additional questions asked.
Uber’s insurance is pretty bad. Many get the additional coverage from their regular insurer anyway because of this. That coverage also (usually) applies to this situation as well.
Ain’t no one approaching the T-800 to steal your wallet or anything. Curiosity, sure. But you don’t look at that and think “easy target”
Now, if I’ve done something specific to be a target, I’m not sure it would be an effective bodyguard.
How close are these surrounding towns? What’s the population, particularly for the demographics you would appeal to?
Often, it’s not worthwhile to bring your favorite culture to your home. Just go to the culture where it already exists. Often, these quiet, boring places are populated by people that WANT to live in a place that’s quiet and boring. It doesn’t make much sense for anyone to move there if they don’t.
I’ve never used it, but Crossover Office was developed largely to get MS Office working on Linux. It looks like it’s still maintained.
It’s at least worth looking into.
Strictly speaking, few if any of them retain their own rights to the music. Most are owned by the label. Look on any CD, official video, etc. You’ll see Copyright Sony Music, or Universal, etc.
It also means they probably can’t take legal action against Trump’s use of it.
It’s like those people who bought plane tickets to January 6th, thinking they would go there and violently overthrow the transfer of power and kill any congresspeople that stood in the way of it, and then they could go home and show up to work with Trump now in power and everything would go back to normal.
Do you remember when armed militants invaded the Malheur wildlife refuge in Oregon, setting up what was sure to be a long, violent standoff with police and military?
2 weeks in, they arrested one of them. He’d taken a stolen ranger truck to get supplies at Safeway.
You can’t reason people out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into
He (and the rest of 538, where he was at the time) were criticized at the time for giving Trump much better odds than most. They were still wrong, but less so than the rest.
Timing and pacing are inherently different when there’s a laugh track. You can’t just silence the laughter or cut the time range. In some cases, you have to rework the joke.
You should probably know that strangling someone is a strong indicator of a future murder attempt. Far more than other forms of battery.
You definitely need to consider your own safety, and those around you
