Thank you. It should be fixed now.

The bystander video is shown here: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1188314849017274
Video shows three cops chasing a suspect. The first cop tackles the kid and proceeds to punch him. The second cop run up with gun drawn and shots the kid in less than a second while the first cop is still busy wrestling.
IMHO, the 2nd cop’s shooting was incredibly unsafe since he was shooting a suspect wrestling another cop from less than 1 foot away. As far as I can tell, the cop basically ran up to the kid, put his gun to his head, and pulled the trigger. You can not tell from THIS video if there was a gun in the kids hand, but I can’t believe the first cop would not have tackled him if there was! There is no way this is a good shooting.
There also should be body-cam video that should portray a reasonable unbiased view of the situation.
Add liberals, scientists, teachers to the end of the list.
This comment is the equivalent of trying to have a real conversation with someone and they start singing a commercial jingle.
That’s an interesting read, but I think it misses a point of where that 25% GDP is really coming from. The US makes 25% of the GDP because they outsource. To use other country’s labor, other countries people, other other people’s brains, and they take a huge chunk of profit from it. They then claim that’s their GDP.
America is a very efficient country, with a lot of skilled workers creating a lot of cool products and stuff, but it’s not 5x other countries. The only way to get those numbers is by leveraging the work of other people and claiming it for yourself.
Yeah, guilty as charged and I don’t even mind.
I buy the games on sale if I play them then good for me, if I don’t then I supported developers. I see no problem here.
“On the other hand gas has a much higher energy density than batteries and a much faster refuel rate.”
That’s not fucking true. They would smear Jesus Christ so hard… a poor brown skinned, long haired hippy peacenik liiiiberal pansy. About the only thing they would like about him is that he hangs with prostitutes. But even that they would get all snooty about.
An actual Jesus they would hate with the passion of a thousand suns.
OK… so this is weird. The Supreme court just upheld that the funding structure of the CFPB was constitutional overruling the 5th circuit ruling that the CFPB funding structure was unconstitutional… But THIS federal judge just used the 5th court unconstitutionality ruling as the basis for why this CFPB credit card rule was unconstitutional (the CFPB is unconstitutional so any decision they make is invalid). It seems like he’s leaning on a just overturned ruling to make this decision. Is this just a case of a timing error where everything in the credit card fee case was filed before he Supreme Court overruled the 5th circuit’s ruling or is there another argument there?
But the reality is managers want to pick who gets laid off. It’s not that they want to just cut heads and reduce costs… upper management. may want that… but the actual managers want to keep their best and brightest. They know who the people are who get shit done, and they want to keep those people. Rto tends to have the opposite effect.
The reality is it is often the best employees, the most experienced employees, and some very high level employees who have the most confidence and are most willing to say " screw you, I know I can find a job somewhere else" And give the middle finger to the employer who’s trying to do an RTO plan.
Don’t be fooled by the headlines. Real businesses want to control who they let go. They want to have all the power in the relationship. They want to cut their lower performers and keep their superstars. RTO is about the worst head cutting program you could dream up.
This is the home of Tesla. There are a million EVs here.
I’m in the SF bay area.
The off-hours rate for my electricity is $0.04 cheaper than the prime hours rate. It’s laughable. $0.51 vs $0.47. Why bother even thinking about it at that pathetic difference? It’s certainly not going to change the math much.
It’s shockingly high. I live in the SF bay area and I’m a bit pissed off at how bad we’re getting screwed.
We have a Volvo XC90. Much bigger (and probably heavier) than your Bolt. It gets ~26MPG on the gas only mode. It has an 18.8kWh battery and can go ~30 miles on a charge. So again, bigger, heavier, and less efficient. At $0.50 per kWh, it takes ~$9 for 30 miles, and ~$5.5 in gas to go 26 miles.
That’s all great, but the real thing that will stop it is economics. We have a PHEV and I calculated it out and we pay $8 per gallon equivalent compared to $5.50 for regular gas. That’s a pretty big difference. Right now we ignore the EV part of the vehicle. (Live in California and I pay $0.50/kwh.)
We’re planning on getting solar shortly and that may make it feasible, but until then, it’s not.
I mostly agree with you, but IMHO Biden has been better than any other president in my lifetime… and I’m 50 years old. His position on Israel is awful. I would 100% go nuclear (pun intended) on solving global warming. But beyond that, I think he’s done a pretty good job with the hand he’s been dealt. The presidency is not a monarchy. No matter who is elected it’ll be a long term battle to right this ship.
I feel like this argument would have worked a lot better before Trump.
Do you want slow incremental positive steps forward, or massive bat-shit crazy, weaving-all-over-the-road while toying with destroying democracy, self-serving, ultra-rich benefiting and fuck-the-little-guy theocratic “reform”? Hm… that’s a tough one.
Sometimes it’s ok to be late.
