That would be after collecting monthly payments for a long time. Turning a profit in aggregate for a large pool of lenders.

WOTC making orcs basically humans with an odd skin tone is an unusually poor choice. Really speaks to them missing the fundamental purpose of morally unambiguous enemies in a game. I get the real point is they don't want a race of dumb savages so they have to change them into human with oddly colored skin. Like an identifiable group of real life humans drawn in fantasty style.
I don't play tabletop game any more, but if I did I'd want old orcs and racial bonuses.

It is certainly the hottest movie among elementary schoolers. Not sure about a wider cultural impact.

Yeah they pretended Rittenhouse had a short barreled rifle until the judge asked them if the were sure and propsed getting a tape measure to check. The judge had to dismiss a criminal charge based on it being a short barrel rifle, so it wasn't just idle falsehoods from the prosecution.

Both a thought defeating cliche and not what Dr. Watson was doing.

Are police going to refuse to make arrests for crimes? What crimes? Prosecutors refuse to file charges?
That's a regular occurrence right now. At least in some progressive cities with progressive prosecutors. Maybe some day the right will pick up such weapons commonly used by progressives.

It's a work of fiction
The premise of this conversation is that it is strongly based on two real people and their actual relationship and is identifiable as them; but fictionalized to turn him into a bad man.
I sure am glad no one wrote a popular fictional story that gets turned into a movie in which a fictional character who is identifiably me abuses young women.

Worse yet "assault" includes hard talk in many jurisdictions. Credibly threatening someone is assault.
Do you assume women's prisons are meaningfully less violent than men's prisons?
Without bothering to look this up: obviously yes. Do you have compelling prison violence statistics that show the opposite?

Anduril makes drones that fly into other drones, smashing them. You have a bunch of these waiting and they launch when hostile drones come in. If they don't find a drone to intercept then they land and wait for another attack.

Also quite a variety of other military drones.
That link takes me to their entry page.
