I did have one down the street at one point. We each minded our own business and I considered it good for my family’s safety to have a police car always parked nearby

I’ve only seen it as “what color was your first car?” But I learned to drive with my parents cars. They are not the same, nor even the same color

I suppose for some it’s the same and some may interpret the question differently

As long as it remains difficult and rare ….

• Apple and Google regular close vulnerabilities so anything based on those is very temporary
• I’m kind of fine if limited to intelligence agencies for national defense. For example partly brute forcing encryption would take significant time and computing power
• there are no visible indicators that it is being done for police action
• current us administration has no hesitation to do things like that to individuals out of personal spite, yet doesn’t appear to have

And if he waits six months before declaring an emergency, there would not be time for the court to annul it

“Worst of the worst”. Clearly /s

But yeah, while I want to say something about lax security, this is typically just students who are supposed to watch the door. It’s not reasonable to expect to resist being steamrolled by armed masked thugs

So now they’re weaponizing missing persons. Now no one is going to help the next time someone is in trouble

That’s the worst part, where the reality is the opposite.

• my car has value because it exists as a physical thing that is useful to me. If I could download a car, it doesn’t take away from anyone, just adds value for me
• the monkey could only have value in exclusivity. It is not a material possession nor is it useful to me, but can only have value if I can prevent anyone else from having it. If I could download someone else’s monkey, then they lose any value they think it had

First. I’ve always been “save the best for last”, but I’ve spent my entire life regretting never getting to the good part. I deserve better

My older kid just texted about applying to an internship …… it’s an environmental justice role using his technical skills for an indigenous tribe! WOKE AS HELL, even in this age of dystopia!

Plus you can trust that no one else has your car, whereas you have no way of knowing how may times your monkey was copied or how may exist outside the scope of your “certificate”

The smoothest transition with least chance of damaging suspension is ….

Mostly stop long enough for the car to stop leaning forward. Then gently accelerate of the bump. No dip, no damage

Meanwhile I’ve paid to enough suspension repairs to not want to hurry up another.

It’s critically important to develop patience here in order to deal with people getting older and taking this to the next level

My mom is a great person whom I dearly love but she’s fallen into the stereotype of old people rambling. Nothing is a simple question or statement anymore. It’s always a long meandering story with lots of detours

I can’t follow the link without logging in …. Is this one of those pellet heaters? I thought they look pretty cool, plus I have a pellet grill so it seems complementary.

Obviously I would remind the ai that it’s an outside appliance so it should generate a deck pic

However the ads seemed mighty scammy and I don’t like the idea of fire in such an unstable (tall and skinny) object, even outside

This seems like the same argument people had with calculators. We’ve had calculators, spreadsheets, cash registers for half a century now so why do the still teach math?

SpaceX has done some great things to revolutionize space access, and already launches to orbit 80% by mass of all the worlds space “stuff”

Now they’re getting close with StarShip/Superheavy, designed to carry 10+ times that every year. It will become much cheaper than anything before it, partly based on that economy of scale.

But where’s the market for that scale? How the heck are they launching 800+% of the world’s satellites every year? Business as usual will not support that. SpaceX needs to create new markets to drive that business, perhaps mars colonies or datacenters in space. Think of it as them wanting to create new businesses to justify their new product

As far as we know, none of the children raped or molested by Trump have committed suicide

Is no one going to point out that it establishes requirements for birth certificates? If a state doesn’t already comply with all of those, are we going to have to be reborn?

No. Slowing may make the bump feel worse to you )unless you do it right) while still being less strain on your suspension

As a white guy, I’m aware that there have been times where I’m just accepted at face value when other people would have required ID. Why would voting be any different? It’s not the ID itself necessarily, but who is asked for it and who likely has it in order

As an older guy I’ve also had occasion to laugh at zero tolerance ID mandates for alcohol. At one point I went out for drinks with co-workers of a variety of ages. I somehow forgot my ID so they refused service despite me obviously being well over the age requirement. Instead of getting frustrated, I was amused at getting a coworker less than half my age to buy my beer. Sometimes you just need to laugh at the ridiculousness. But it would not have been funny if something like this kept me from voting

That was the point elsewhere here that it would hurt republicans more.

• republicans tend to be conservative, older, so are more likely for the woman to have changed her name
• democrats tend to be more liberal or more progressive or more educated, all of which are more likely for the woman to keep her name when getting married.
