Ditto on the hope, if you don’t take down Dad as well at the least this is a failure.

We are trying to hire, analysts, engineers (Software, BI, system)... very hard to find people right now. We have good pay, great benefits, moral company... but we do want to go back to office (no sooner than Jan 2022 for now, keeps getting pushed back) and we cannot sponsor HB1, so we are getting almost no applicants.…

And still people protest, and there was a fairly recent (last 5 years mbby?) story about a dude dying helmetless in a helmet law state on a helmet freedom ride.

Yup. Good buddy of mine was a high end chef, he has completely refactored his career away from the service industry, he had no choice. The benefits helped cover the transition, but them being there or not are not a factor in his decision to get out. 

They are not really working on it. This is allowing them to cover up the issue at the expense of NG members who are being activated for a totally avoidable emergency. 

The “costs from the PD pension fund” is one I have been pushing for a long time. If the lawsuits for excessive force and such came from that fund...

Cool motive, still a felony unless there exists a specific legal exemption... which there is not in this case. 

I work with a dude whose in-law family is cops and he is a bit of a crime nerd. NEVER SAY ANYTHING EVER TO COPS. And he loves his family, but they are trained and practiced to fuck you over. 

And the Satanists are a wonderful group, they really do good works. 

Another option?

I didn’t know I needed that. But oh boy do I... Perfect for our Water World / Mad Max crossover future!

5th Element style, roller bed and a button, night night! It would feel like teleporting, how cool is that?

I totally, 100% agree with skeffles sentiment, but you are right. This has to be handled by police/security/airline employees, getting other passengers involved is a terrible idea.

And all the hormone mimics in plastics, another fine petroleum product. We have limited understanding of how this stuff works on the human brain and body, but what little we do know is horrific.

Like with so many things you need to go back in history to understand.

Yup - Lived in FL for 10 years, my group of VERY liberal friends all rode big bikes and owned multiple guns. And all complained about the overly lax laws, but I had my concealed carry and was always armed. 

That sounds so... reasonable :)

In the same spot - I have wanted to buy another vehicle for 15 months now, but I don’t NEED it, especially given how much less we are driving. I will just wait. 

But that’s MSRP, you can get them for a lot less still new. And the M109 is a LOT faster. Handles like a pig, but fast fast fast for a bike of that weight. 

“...includes squids on caged wrecks with hidden plates and exposed cords on their tires.” - Yup. I lived in FL for 10 years, and where my home happened to be I had a lot more trouble with that type than the loud cruisers, but no matter what kind of bike they are on asshole will be asshole...
