Lego would like a word with you.

Or they did read all the comments, but someone posted their game during the time they were reading, so they never actually saw it. Then they posted their game and looked a stinky non-reader even though they weren't.

The "focal length" of our eyes is a subjective number, because our retinas aren't flat and our attention doesn't cover our whole field of view at the same time.

The searches spike after every election and this one was no different than any other year.

Compared to shrimp scampi, an example search I stole from another thread on this topic, it's pretty clear the searches are meaningless and not tied to this particular result.

Here's where the problem is. The sheriff is viewing the potential for the kid to get hit by a person driving a car as the kid's fault, when of course the fault should lie completely with her person operating heavy machinery.

Any boot that can actually be resoled. You might pay a higher up front cost, but they will be worth the investment when you're putting your third outlsole on them in instead of getting yet another pair of shoes.

Edit: also, the AK isn't actually cheap to make, it's just the US market was flooded with surplus guns no one wanted for a good while.

You mean the current, ongoing plague that is never going to go away?

I'd rather advisements list the highest price for the area they cover than have false advertising with the prices at the store.

I want to expand on your expansion of my glib comment. While taxing the poor and working class at a higher proportional rate is obviously immoral, it's also bad economic policy. The working class are essentially the "engine" of the economy. Their income circles back into the greater economy at a much higher rate than a rich person's. The harder you tax them, more more you slow down the economy. While is technically true for any tax bracket, you can tax the rich much more aggressively with very little impact on the overall economy, because so much of their money is for toys.

We're actually seeing a big problem right now, with so many billionaires they are running out of decent places to put their money that's worth their time. We have way too many billionaires and not enough millionaires and small business owners. A billionaire will never invest in your taco truck, but the local "fairly rich" guy might. The billionaires are betting big on AI, in part, because they have no other bets they can make. We need to tax their asses way more aggressively and pump that money into micro businesses to make our economies robust.

(While I'm speaking about the US in particular, this is somewhat of a global trend.)

I wasn't thinking about that at all, but they probably aren't trying very hard, if I had to guess. What's their current monetization model?

I'm pretty sure it's actually short for chili con carne, tomates, espinaca, frijoles, maíze, arroz, más frijoles, calabacín, brócoli, pimientos verdes, comino, chipotle, y pimentón ahumado.

That's the same advantage all the other options have, too.

 
 
 

A Madison local is looking to provide firearms instruction classes to students who might not feel safe taking a normal firearms course. The classes are free to the students to make them as accessible as possible. If you can help out with operating expenses (classroom rent, study materials, etc.) you will help build proficiency and safety in a community traditionally under served in this area.

Thanks!

 

Hi all,

A fellow enthusiast started teaching firearms courses aimed at folks who aren't typically courted by the gun community. They've been doing this for free since the start of COVID and they are now looking to expand their operation and need to raise funds in order to keep it free. If you could chip in a few bucks to help with next year's expenses, you'll be making firearms proficiency more accessible to people who aren't welcome in other courses currently available.

Thanks!

 

A court used an app called Covenant Eyes to surveil the family of an Indiana man released on bond. Now he’s back in jail, and tech misuse may be to blame. The app flagged one of the family's devices as having accessed Pornhub even though it didn't, and this was the only evidence used to throw the man back in jail. They didn't even try to prove he was the one who caused the app to flag Pornhub as visited, they just assumed it was him. The article contains multiple levels of "oh my god our system is messed up."
