To head off the “why did she wait” morons: she had to sign an NDA just to take the job, and a recent rule change in CA now excludes sexual assault from NDA coverage.

These cases go anywhere from cops not interviewing anyone and nothing happening up to finding people that anyone would have talked to along with texts/emails from the time of the incident (see the recent Majors case). It helps if there are records of calls/texts/emails from the date of the incident from anyone…

ah yes the “america is too big” argument. what’s next, “american freight rail can’t electrify because of double stacks”?

This just in: Elon Musk never intended to actually build his Hyperloop idea in California. He proposed it just to stop the high-speed rail project. That was news to me when Paris Marx, a technology writer from Canada, wrote about Musk for Time magazine and posted on Twitter Thursday. He quotes Musk’s official…

worth pointing out that Private Jet flights are on the rise and is forecasted to DOUBLE by 2026. source: https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/08/29/2733696/0/en/Private-Jet-Charter-Services-Market-Size-and-Share-Analysis-Growth-Trends-and-Forecasts-2023-2028.html

Likely he was probationary at THIS department, probably after quietly resigning from or being fired by another department. Guessing that he likely has a long history of being a cop.

pigs gonna pig tbh but think about the culture in that police station if a PROBATIONARY officer, one not even allowed to do shit on their own, had the balls to try and pull this shit. That means the whole force likely is rotten to the core.

It’s not enough, but the prosecutor agreed to release Mr. Morris on his own recognizance this morning. The security cam footage posted on twitter shows they were likely driving too fast, came too close to a parked car and overcorrected. This story is such garbage and it’s high time SLMPD is held accountable for their…

Interesting, raising your voice is causing a disturbance but crashing your 5,500 pound SUV police cruiser through the front wall is apparently not.

from the article you’re talking about:

But the Emerald mine heir says that autopilot is ten times less likely to crash than a human driver! How can this be? Did he overstate something to sell more shit? That can’t be true! /s

This place really has fallen apart since Torchinsky left.

“The cars? Fine, affordable, did what they needed to.”

Do they not know how much of a good position they are in right now? Just make some more pedestrian models 400hp pure EV, 300 - 350 mile range and sell the crap out of them for 60K. Cowards!

I’m not sure what the actual “vetting” process would entail..? The Day Before was a playable game that wasn’t infected with any malware. That’s pretty much the only criteria required to sell something on Steam. Quality is largely subjective so if you’re expecting Valve to curate, that means a lot of good games would…

there used to be something like that...but people complained about Valve “Gatekeeping”...so they changed it to $100 and you can put up your game.

Guess you could say the folks dense enough to buy this thing were only born... The day before.

This is one of the announcement that did look interesting.  I’m wondering if she really needs a publisher.  What sort of budget do her games usually entail?  It seems like she might be able to go the crowdfunding route, but maybe this game is much larger in budget and scope than I’m thinking.

It’s such a fundamental aspect of modern capitalism that people refuse to believe things have a shelf life, and that no matter how popular or god forbid profitable something is, one day, even if everything goes perfectly to plan, that thing will stop being both. It’s happened in broad public view thousands of times…

I mean, convoluted is an understatement.
