If you're interested in the payload, the random text string decrypts as Base-64-encoded UTF-16LE. It downloads and executes a remote script. Not digging into what that script is exactly... Censored for security obviously:

Antares rocket explosion. Fun fact, the engines on that vehicle were from the Soviet N1 lunar program, built in the 1960s or '70s. Purchased at a bargain because it was cheaper than developing their own engine or buying an american-made engine. If you ever want a fun read, look up how hilariously the N1 project failed

You're conflating two entirely separate things. The ratio of staple foods to prepared foods counts towards whether an establishment can participate in SNAP at all. That's immaterial to what can be purchased with SNAP. Under your logic, cold prepared foods are also ineligible for SNAP since they are not a staple food, yet Publix subs and the like ARE eligible under SNAP.

Retailer eligibility in SNAP and a particular item being eligible for SNAP are two entirely different things.

They claim it's not a Sim because physics looks non algorithmic, but the output of a complex algorithm may not necessarily look complete since the output doesn't have access to the simulation parameters. It's just as likely that the sim is so advanced that entities inside it literally cannot access the knowledge to prove it's a sim

Under current us tax code there is no way to reliably tax the import of digital goods, and the majority of films arrive in theaters digitally these days, and are distributed through streaming platforms. Same thing with TV shows, they're distributed to the local broadcasters or cable providers digitally, and then digitally sent to the end user. If I remember my tax law correctly, there are codified exemptions for digital goods in various trade agreements that the US maintains.
