The Web became harder to search. Or more accurately, it became harder to return the desired results.

For anything not date-sensitive, add “before:2023” to your query. I’m betting your results will be a lot better.

Asking for forgiveness and repenting seems to be entirely optional, and limited to certain sects anyway.

Most that I know just do shitty things, but it’s ok because Jesus is on their side.

Wouldn’t shorthand (stenography) be a better solution then?

Cursive was very specifically a solution to quill/fountain pens of old, where you needed to reduce the times the pen touched the paper.

Every major social media site has a problem with it. Most report tens of millions of incidents every year, much of it hidden in non-porn areas.

I won’t speak about banks, but many (most?) security guards at businesses aren’t even armed. They are there as a deterrent, but also to witness and document. They are also (usually mildly) trained to defuse a violent situation and get any robbers out the door without bloodshed.

Creative and unconventional ideas to punish Iran?

Get the world off of oil. That punishes all petrostates, including Iran.

That is Subtitles for the Deaf and Hearing-impaired (SDH). It is not the standard for subtitles in the US and Canada.

My understanding is that Chinese EVs aren’t technically banned in the US. Rather, they have (and have long had) extremely steep tariffs, making them non-competitive.

They probably still need to complete things like crash testing and emissions certification. These become a requirement after imports hit a certain number.

My guess is that Google hasn’t imported enough of them to reach that threshold yet.

I don’t think it matters if you’re too sick to work. That’s treating people as existing solely for your own benefit, to be exploited.

What does matter, IMHO, is what your expected timeline is. At one time, HIV could’ve been considered a terminal diagnosis. It couldn’t be treated, it would always advance to AIDS, and eventually that would cause your death. But that was likely to be 10+ years away.

If you’ve got less than a year to live, the government should cover your fucking medical care, no exception. Well, maybe the ultra-rich, but I’m sure they’d find a way around it anyway.

Is this “not the onion” because sauerkraut is actually made of cabbage? /s

In all seriousness, I applaud the move. Sauerkraut and home cooking are both laudable initiatives, and whatever keeps him away from all of his usual bullshit can only be a good thing.

I vividly remember doing this, and that dialog box, and not remembering if it’s the character being a dick or if I did it to myself.

Equivalent usage to a farm, maybe. But it’s not a farm. Part of the challenge and conflict about these water rights is that actual farms have priority leases, lasting around 100 years. Cities can’t negotiate drinking water increases, because the farms have priority.

Data centers (and other industrial projects) are at the back of the line. They’re welcome to build their own pipelines, or truck it in, or build a desalination plant. But that river is already spoken for.

Lawyers will almost always advise staying silent. It’s genuinely a right that US citizens have, and one that’s not exercised often enough. Back in February, Les Wexner was testifying to Congress. His lawyer very bluntly told him not to answer any question with more than 5 words.

The real question becomes what does Fauci have to gain or lose by answering these questions. And that’s likely to be “nothing” and “everything”, respectively. He simply has nothing to gain by answering questions. He (and everyone else) does not believe the goal of these questions is to get to the truth. It’s to create a circus, and railroad him into a jail cell.

I wouldn’t take the bait, either.

Obviously it depends on your location, but you can probably just sign up. Around here, you contact the county court system (which is how our juries are administered), give them your contact info, and wait for a case. You’re limited to volunteering once per year, because some retirees would keep doing it just to stay busy.

They’ve already come up with a crackheaded, baseless explanation. They say that it only applies to 2 consecutive terms.

Logic isn’t the play. They will say/do anything that gets them what they want. You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into in the first place.

He timed his contract expiration to match Letterman’s. He really wanted to take over the Late Show, a move that paid off.

If it was evidence, they fucked up BIG TIME if their actions weren’t read-only from the beginning. A distress password would be an attempt at destruction of evidence, but completely unsuccessful.

Any chance of using level 1 charging? That would just require a standard wall outlet. Over 8 hours, it would probably give you about 25 miles of range, depending on the details.

Also, I assume that charger is a level 2. You could probably get 20 miles of range in an hour.

If you’re within spitting distance, you could make up the difference with public charging. Many grocery stores now have DC fast charging, so you could top off on a regular weekly trip.

TBH, I think you’re a much better candidate for a hybrid, or possibly a plug-in hybrid.

“up to” is doing A LOT of heavy lifting.

There is a mountain of difference in solar power that can be collected on June 21 vs December 21. We all know that, there are many more hours in the day. but what many people don’t know is that even limited to the same productive hours, let’s say 9a-4p, summer light has a lot more power.

Because it’s their own marketing, you can count on “Up to 20 miles per day” meaning 20 miles (in an extremely efficient EV), in the ideal circumstances, on the best day of the year. The rest of the year will be worse, probably much worse.

But don’t take my word for it, and certainly don’t take theirs. Wait for independent reviews, and check them. See what people can actually expect from such a system. As much as I would love for this to be a real solution for most people, it’s very unlikely.

I haven’t looked into this specifically, but it’s extremely hard to make the numbers work for a solar-powered car with panels the size of the car. The panels just aren’t big enough for them to collect enough energy from the sun to make it worthwhile.

It also looks like in this case, you would need to manually put the panels in place after every trip, and remove them before each one. And that’s assuming no concerns about theft or weather damage.

At best, it’s going to be very inconvenient. At worst, it won’t help at all and you’ll be living on fast chargers.
