Meh. She’s still a “secret” party member that you’re very unlikely to accidentally unlock on a good run.

This is just letting experienced forum-rrading players recruit her a bit more easily.

It was probably closer to $30, but a squeezy poop claw to clean up after my dog. Works so much better than a shovel.

Picked this up last week for a grand… couldn’t pass it up. Holy crap it has a lot of tweakability. There’s a bit of a learning curve to getting good sounds out of it, but damn does it sound nice once it’s dialed in.

Ukraine is attacking military targets. That’s the big difference here.

used to alert the rider that the software has overridden user input

I think this is the whole point. Riders were asking more of the boards than the boards could do, and when the board was unable to comply the rider would lose their balance. Haptic feedback tells the rider “nah, not doing that” so they’re aware the board isn’t going to do the thing and can adjust their balance accordingly.

“Market prices for this new housing are likely to far exceed the already high prices that existed in Lahaina before the fire. For renters, the old housing stock that was destroyed provided opportunities for reasonable rents,”

I think this is the issue. Poor folks live in older buildings. Can’t rebuild new old, run-down cheap neighborhoods.

I’d hate to miss out on my $0.86

I had cats and a fish pond. Each cat tried catching the fish exactly once, ever.

Firefighters — who once backed the DeSantis takeover — are among those furious about the changes

“I didn’t think the leopards would eat my face.”

benefits like park passes are unethical.

Wtf. Perks are win-win. It’s a trivial expense to allow employees to use existing company assets, but it’s very valuable to the employees. Boss gets happy employees for less expense. Both sides are happy. No, that’s bad because:

“Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God,” the passage began. “And those which exist are established by God. Therefore, whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.”

Ok, I didn’t see anything about perks there, but this logic supports gassing Jews (what the local authority wanted) and condemns smuggling them out of Germany (opposing God apparently).

These people are dangerously insane.

Playing music. Started on a shitty hand-me-down acoustic guitar. Got a better guitar. Got an electric. Got a better amp. Got a couple of pedals. Got a better amp. Got like 6 more amps, some cabs, 5 more guitars, a huge pedalboard, a cello, a keyboard, an audio interface, attenuators, mics, etc etc.

You gotta understand… I need all this stuff. There are subtle differences that you’ve never noticed before but will probably hear once I do an a/b comparison for you, and I absolutely must get an AC15 next to round out the collection instead of buckling down and recording something.

Article: The phrase “Rich men north of Richmond” is a cleverly disguised antisemitic trope

The guy that wrote the song: “It was funny seeing my song at that (Republican) presidential debate. Because I wrote that song about those people"

Source for quote:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/25/rich-men-north-of-richmond-oliver-anthony-republicans

Calling everything racist isn’t helpful. This song is a poor man’s cry for economic justice, and instead of saying “yeah, that’s the 1% we’ve been complaining about, come over to our side,” the left calls it racist because it has Southern imagery in it.

“Sure, our guy is indicted for dozens of serious crimes you saw him commit on TV, but all their people are under investigation. Best not look into it too deep, conclude they’re all corrupt, and keep voting for the party that reinforces your prejudices.”

Metal AF

Mind you, I’m not putting my fingers near that thing, but I like it from over here.

I like the existence of downvotes. They help separate content the community has no feeling about from content the community actively dislikes.

I love that they’re shown separately. This helps separate controversial opinions from ones the community doesn’t care one way or the other about.

I like that you can see who downvoted. Looking at their profile can give some insight as to why they didn’t like the content.

Once upon a time, Republican leadership were smart but evil people who fed lies to their base but understood that they were lying. Since they weren’t actually delusional, they could choose the most politically useful lies and abandon the ones that didn’t poll well.

Enough people believed their lies that the new generation of Republicans are True Believers. They’ve lost the ability to tailor their message to the political climate because it’s no longer seen as just a bunch of crap to please the base, but TRUTH. Except that it’s not actually true, so their policies fail.

This is the inevitable result of governing through falsehood. Objective reality can not be gaslit, and abandoning it never works out well long-term.

Let’s keep it civil

Oh, in that case I don’t have a comment on the American healthcare system.

Looks good for at least another couple of hundred yards.

I want the actual reviews so I have at least some chance of figuring out if the reviewer is a bot, a shill, a customer, or is reviewing the UPS guy instead of the product.

From the article you linked:

Donald Trump was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll

From Cornell Law School’s web site:

A party is liable when they are held legally responsible for something. Unlike in criminal cases, where a defendant could be found guilty, a defendant in a civil case risks only liability

At no point in the article you linked did the Judge say that Trump was “found guilty” of anything. Trump has no crime on his criminal record.

The judge in the article says that Trump was found to have raped Carroll, but acknowledged that there is “a legal distinction” between liability and guilt.

I’m not trying to defend Trump here, or argue that he didn’t do what he was found to have done, just pointing out that there is a difference between “found guilty of rape” and what actually happened.
