Oh yeah I completely agree. I didn’t go past the first reform step because I didn’t feel like writing an entire book. Bit while we work on the long term solutions having more public defenders will fulfill a lot of immediate needs and should theoretically slightly reduce the prison population.

Well K9 units training overall is highly flawed because the dog is reacting to and trying to please the handler vs actually trying to find drugs. Most units are less accurate than a coin flip and if you watch videos you usually see the dogs react to the hacker’s commands and body language.

But is it the correction officers job to inform them what is going on with their case? I’m legitimately asking because I don’t know how NY runs their prisons. Like how much info are they able to look up and provide? Or do they just take the request and submit it up the chain until it reaches the appropriate people?

You’re right people are getting lost in the system and I don’t think it is intentional either. The first thing they need to fix is getting more public defenders into the system because I guarantee his attorney went “ Good we got the charges off, he’s going to be released and now I get to focus on my 30 others cases I…

I’m curious to see how it would be able to handle multiple variables at the same time. Like say it is going down the Smokies, will it be able to handle the steep climb/decline, winding roads, poor weather (with fog being my biggest concern), and traffic?

No not really because they know that their consumers aren’t going to trust this tech without having a human driver behind the wheel as a just in case solution. Also the insurance agencies will also refuse to insure anything that doesn’t have a human operator behind the wheel (at least in the beginning), so if what is…

Thanks I wasn’t aware of that. I looked at the report and all they mentioned was AirBnb listings are usually done illegally. But they never stated that it is illegal in NYC and I can see how that can skew the user numbers.

Well in the study they mention racial discrimination but that doesn’t explain the huge gulf between white and black hosts? I find it interesting that they did not provide any data or show that they at least looked into the issue. If I had to guess I would say it is most likely because white hosts are living in the…

Maybe if it was the 2022 World Cup but it is too close to change venues now

True they are movable but road crews know that people are idiots and so they always have to put up a bunch of cones. Also it is considered a huge safety hazard and therefore a big deal if you get caught doing road work without setting up safety measures.

Not surprising since I’m betting that most of their regulations were made before things like Twitch became popular. They are also starting to realize how valuable the Twitch community can be to them. I doubt the community is even in Paypal’s top 20 revenue streams but it does offer them direct access to the future…

It sucks but unfortunately Paypal has to favor the buyer over the seller to maintain their consumer market base. If it was the other way around buyers would move onto a different provider that offers favors them more and eventually the sellers would move to that service because that is where the buyers are.

Ummm you forgot the high quality weed that is in the weed shop but I like where your head is at

I don’t really understand how you can host one of these festivals and not have enough medical personnel. Hell I’ve been to Bonnaroo multiple times and whenever you walk by a medical station there are a bunch of medical staff and volunteers around. Im not sure how the two compare in size, but working Bonnaroo has to…

Nah not with the Indians being relevant again. Gilbert pretty much lucked into a once in a generation player and he almost screwed that up since he wasted the first 7 years of LeBron’s career by being a cheapskate

No flat out wanted Blatt out and I really can’t blame him. His only coaching experience is from Europe and Israel. The man is a good coach but the way the games are played overseas doesn’t always mesh well with the NBA. Another reason I just don’t think he really knew how to deal with American NBA players.

Hey I just did to your original reply, what you did to my original comment. I would not call myself an expert on military law but I am quite familiar with it and how it relates to geopolitical and socioeconomic issues.

Lol that’s my go to trick because your only two options are go to the gym/exercise or be fidgety for the next few hours trying to do whatever your excuse was.

I do agree that people notice but for the right reason. Honestly people just like to see other people who are interested in the same things they are.

Exactly my knock against Ball as well. Also his main skill everyone talks about is his passing abilities but who the hell is he going to pass to on the Lakers. Even if they get PG that’s still not enough players to run an offense.
