Had no idea this was going on, but all my meetings were cancelled today so I went for an early AM run since I had nothing else to do.

If this really is a "justified" shooting, then the video "should" support that. My guess is that it doesn't. Or at the very least, that it's inconclusive. Either way, if they have nothing to hide, they'd release the video. 

Sounds like classic enabler speak, doesn’t it?

I really appreciate the courage and convinction exhibited by the caucus for going on the record with their voting for or against her demotion. Of course, since it’s a voice vote, there’s no record on who voted for what, is there.

Too many people who think a gun makes you a hero, or is a magic shield that will ‘protect’ you.

Neither are true, but delusions are hard to overcome.

I fully agree with you. People think thoroughbreds are so fancy, but the truth is that they are the greyhounds of the horse world.  This industry produces thousands of extra horses every year--some make it to the track and work for a while, but almost all are eventually discarded.  Many are retrained to be riding…

It’s a retread of an old idea, that people who are vaccinated will shed virus and make unvaccinated people sick. It started out as a way of managing to blame vaccinated people for outbreaks of measles, but that idea has found its way into the current batch of vaccine hysteria as well.

I polled a million people and got an overwhelmingly clear set of data that no one else is allowed to see that proves that more than 90% of people do not believe any reports of viewer numbers from streaming services.

Every time we encounter a turtle on the road, we pull over and pick it up so it won’t get hurt.

This shit is fishy as hell. Eagerly awaiting a full account. From all angles.

The one that keeps me facepalming, because I hear it so much from people I believe are acting in good faith and not from an anti-vax or anti-Covid restriction perspective, is confusing absence of evidence with evidence of absence.

We’ve got a largely advertising-supported media driven initially by people buying copies to see ads, and now clicking to see ads. This media has a built in perverse incentive to drum up alarmism and “controversy” if it brings in eyes for its real target market - advertising dollars. That’s a big part of how anti-vax…

People actually carry a balance?  Weird.

this is where i fell on at the end of the day.

I worked close with metal foundaries for a part of my job (I was responsible for production machining cast parts).

First, check if it has thermal stickers on it. If it does, it can’t be laminated as the process will ruin the stickers (laminating will cook the sticker turning it black).

Watch John Oliver this week. Many judges may spend all of 30 seconds “reviewing” them, trusting that cops won’t lie to them. In many jurisdictions, a DA does not need to be involved in the process. 

This is a good point, and increasingly courts are mandating access to telecommunications But even if it’s not part of your custody agreement if you want to maintain a healthy relationship between your children and the absent parent, and the absent party is safe for your children’s mental and emotional health without…

Yes, there will be so many foreclosures when this is over! I totally agree to make payments of what ever you can afford, this free ride will end. And the owners or rentals will likely need to sell after not getting rent payments and not being able to evict.

Kinda, there are a lot of similarities - the plot of Trading Places (or at least the latter half of the movie after Billy Ray and Louis meet up) is that the Dukes are intending to use insider trading via their man Clarence Beeks to corner the market on orange juice (which is illegal). Our protagonists figure this out…
