These conservative warnings exist for a reason, though. That being hundreds of lives at stake. What I think would be more interesting is to hear how often these types of events occurred before and after the layoffs at the FAA
EscobarVape and Elfbar are created by two separate Chinese companies, Shenzhen Innokin Technology Co. Ltd and Shenzhen iMiracle Technology respectively. Mi-Bar is created by an American company but has partnered with Elfbar to distribute Elfbar products in the US
Really wish more people would just provide the facts that speak for themselves, rather than point fingers about who is and isn't doing their research
Imagine a vampire getting frustrated with a realtor because this is the fourth time they've arrived at a house they're interested in to do a walkthrough but the owners aren't home and the realtor, as someone who doesn't have ties to the memories created in that home, can't invite him in.
This also has fascinating implications for house flippers. If you only live there while working on it, have you not amassed enough "home power" to keep vampires out? Does the power of your previous home follow you to a new address if it's mostly the same decor?
That is for sure. There is no question that it is an asinine attempt by the GOP to weaponize the law, rather than a genuine attempt at protecting Jews in any way, shape or form
Not be contrarian, but this is a common misconception. Hate speech IS protected speech in the US, but it can be used to enhance the punishment of a related crime into a hate crime.
It can also, under specific circumstances, be considered "fighting words". But again, that depends on the specific context and is not broadly true.
This is one of my least favorite facts, but it is unfortunately true
I'll take the downvotes to point out the political reality:
Raising money is literally the DNC's primary role. It is a coalition of people raising money collaboratively, with the understanding that agreeing to the party policy as a group is a requirement for being a member of the group.
So when he says that Hogg is stealing his spotlight and making it difficult to build the network he needs to raise funds, he's not out of line.
He is INCREDIBLY shortsighted in failing to connect "supporting good candidates" with "ability to secure votes" which itself is a necessary component of long term fundraising. But let's call a spade a spade: raising money is what the DNC is all about, by definition, and without those funds they have no purpose, let alone ability to promote candidates
And this is why Tesla is a danger to everyone INCLUDING the people who could actually be saved by real, well-tested, extremely safe autonomous vehicles like Waymo et al.
TESLA IS NOT AUTONOMOUS DRIVING
ACTUAL AUTONOMOUS DRIVING IS SAFER THAN HUMAN DRIVERS
Fuck fuck fuck I hate this timeline so much. We could be saving lives but NOOOOOO we get this bullshit instead
Autonomous vehicles - actual autonomous ones, not Tesla bullshit marketing "self-driving" - are already significantly safer than human drivers. Yes, they are limited to certain conditions (they don't handle inclement weather very well yet) but the point is that they are already improving safety over human drivers.
Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Additionally, once autonomous vehicles become the standard, you will see a dramatic shift in how the insurance industry operates.
Think about it: if I'm not the one driving, why would I be the one taking on liability? I wouldn't. The manufacturer would. Suddenly, the insurance industry would be targeting vehicle/software producers instead of individuals. And anyone who chooses to drive themselves anyway? They would almost always be liable by default. Premiums for drivers would skyrocket and this would be a huge disincentive to getting behind the wheel in the first place.
Don't. Let. The. Perfect. Be. The. Enemy. Of. The. Good.
What's your point? Cool story, still raped two women. Don't put violent sex offenders with the demographic they victimized. Should lesbian sex offenders be incarcerated with other women? Probably not, right?
You've just made a great argument for why gendered prisons are a ridiculous notion in the first place, and why results-based decision making is more important than broad, impersonal classification-based decision making.
And that's before we even talk about how the overwhelming majority of prisons in general are inhumane and ineffective at reducing crime.
