Combustion motors are more trans than EV’s apparently.

Released for $4.60. below average game cost they said. This makes me wonder… What do games cost on release most places?

I seem to remember $40 PS2/Dreamcast era $50 PS3/360 era, $60 PS4/5/Xbox S/S era. And now people are saying $80 for next gen. Sorry I know I dropped a lot of consoles, but was that pretty standard everywhere?

Depends on the fictional mythology. For instance the show Tuee Blood says it only applies to homes owned by a human, not businesses and such. That show has so many plot holes… But that idea they almost stick to. So I would say if the entire country was owned by 1 person and they lived there and had no businesses in it, sure.

I agree that there really is no way for the layman to know. The states all vary as well. Meaning something like 10 states have partisan votes (party listed next to name in ballot). About 20 have non partisan, so they don’t list the party. Many have Yes/No retaining votes without listing a replacement, just decision to keep. Then some states have policies where the judge must be confirmed by the state Senate, and others approved by their state Congress. Beyond that, I don’t remember much, it is way to much for a person to keep up with and their should be independent bodies that evaluate performance/ judgements. I don’t know a perfect way to set it up though, as corruption is everywhere.

Yeah, maybe it varies by state but where I have lived you can register to vote at the library as well. The other place you run into is the DMV, but no one wants to go there unless it’s an emergency. Moving from Florida to Tennessee, I was shocked when it said you could make an appointment to get quicker wait times, I went to schedule an appointment for the following Monday, to which I found out there were no appointments available for just over 2.5 months. So everyone just shows up and waits, which I’m sure just makes less time for appointments, and thus keeping wait times rediculous during peak hours. (Which seem to be all hours they are open here).

Extended bitching about the DMV here. I once went to get a new license, they gave me a paper one and said it will ship to my house. 2 weeks later I called and they said it could take up to 90 days but usually only takes 2 weeks. 31 days in I went back to the DMV and told them grocery stores won’t take the paper ID after 30 days as they consider it expired, even though the expiration date says years down the line. (Kroger, Publix). Well I was running instacart orders after work to make a few extra dollars to pay off some things. Mid 30’s get denied buying groceries because they had a bottle of wine or something and obviously only pissing off people who order at that point. I asked the DMV if I could buy a normal ID while waiting for my license to arrive, nope. They stated if I get a State ID it would mark me as no longer having a valid driver’s license and they would have to start the possible 90 days over, and have to collect the State ID when they issue the paper license. Fucking pain in the arse.

Anyways, go to the library, or register online

A kid who went on the internet and clicked I’m 18+ and looked at porn doesn’t have a victim (outside of the perpetrator if one wants to argue that). I don’t know what the laws are in the U.K. but here (U.S.) identity fraud/theft is a federal crime. With a possible sentence up to 15 years.

With how it was, there was no incentive for a kid to take their parents/older friends ID when they weren’t looking, or share ID’s/information with their friends to access those sites. If a person gets notice that their information is being used on a site they weren’t using, the likelyhood of it being reported goes up.

Hopefully nothing would ever go as far as being reported as fraud/theft, but all it takes is one person who doesn’t like their kid hanging out with someone else.

So while they didn’t create any new offenses for kids, they created roadblocks that put kids in a situation that may make them break the law out of sheer curiosity.

Getting caught drinking a beer, or smoking cigarettes would be a godsend compared to getting charges brought up for something so stupid.

Someone should be asking what the sentence will be for kids who commit identity fraud and use someone else’s ID to set up an account. It may flip the narrative to point out they are intentionally creating more criminal acts that will get kids in trouble with the law and possibly ruin lives.

Anyways. The article has a laundry list of antisemetic quotes made by Republican propaganda pushers.

Ah I figured they would have ranked pays like the military because of their unions, sounds like it must be more like teachers wages vary within their unions as well. I’ve never wanted to be a cop, so I never watched how their pay scales

Because you spent all night telling yourself if you fake sleep eventually you’ll actually fall asleep, but really you end up staring a hole through your eyelids. The fact that you can tell it’s light in the room with your eyes closed seems like a design flaw

Sure, we could also ask why they only asked for $17 million to pay off the overtime as well, but we would just be going in circles, haha. I’m more impressed than they will pay 17 million off in 90 days when they are operating at a loss in some way that they have “$1 billion in debt” supposedily.

So further review shows they average over $4 million a week on overtime.

So I guess we could surmise it was around $25 million more than normal.

LAPD budget for 2025: $2.14 billion. Works out to just over $41 million a week.

Being that they are already on salary I assume, I wonder how much it really was “more than normal”.

“According to the October 2024 report from the NNSA, it has also been certified to fly on the B-2, F-16, and German Air Force PA-200 Tornado jets, and is working towards certification on the Italian Air Force’s Tornados and the US Air Force’s B-21 bomber.”

Meaning the German PA-200 the UK just retired in 2019 could have been certified to carry those warheads… But you probably would rather have warheads not made in America either

Well by draining the swamp they meant building a dam that created a lake.

“While the copies used to convert purchased print library copies into digital library copies were slightly disfavored by the second factor (nature of the work), the court still found “on balance” that it was a fair use because the purchased print copy was destroyed and its digital replacement was not redistributed.”

So you find this to be valid? To me it is absolutely being redistributed

Thou shall not kill. Umm, y’all have the death penalty.

I’m guessing they weighed their options and somehow thought it was the best option at the time. Maybe their beliefs didn’t align with the Taliban, or they didn’t believe they could leave the area and didn’t want to become 1 of the tens of thousands of civilians that were killed who weren’t combatants. One of them granted asylum, and one being treated like shit, hopefully they’ll get lucky and they’ll just detain him and let him go when some politician realizes it may lose more support from military members.

More hippie than viking I see
