    1. Texas can't even properly support their own power infrastructure inside their own state
    2. The vast majority of the population of Texas (Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas/Ft Worth) are solidly blue. The state maps are gerrymandered to death such that 100,000 square miles of empty land has the same voting power as over ten million citizens. This is the sole and only reason Texas is consistently "red", is via rampant voter disenfranchisement.

    Police have arrested 474 people at a demonstration in London in support of banned group Palestine Action.

    The Metropolitan Police said 466 protesters were arrested for supporting the group, five for assaults on police officers, two for public order offences, and one for a racially aggravated offence.

  • MTG warns Epstein clients she’ll ‘say every damn name’ on House floor as she tells sex abuse victims, ‘Give me a list’

    Jump

  • I've been encouraging everyone to treat this as the wacko conspiracy theory that it probably is, but hear me out.

    MTG is one of the least credible people in the US Government right now and everyone knows it. She lies her ass off constantly. This is the woman that heard there was a wildfire burning in California and then went straight onto the national news to tell everyone that the Jews did it with their orbital lasers.

    What better person to destroy all credibility of the Epstien files? Everyone keeps talking about them and won't stop, so let's "solve" this by siccing our attack liar on it. Even if MTG came right out and read the files on live TV word for word it won't, and indeed can't, be trusted by anyone. She's the one person on the red team that they can safely let spout off about this without anyone taking her seriously. No other Republican will touch it with a ten foot pole, and everyone else talking about it are Democrats.

    I honestly believe this is engineered to have the least amount of credibility possible while still technically "doing something" about the situation.

  • There's a super easy way to solve this. Especially for corporations.

    "The company's operations will be suspended during the suit, until such time as the court can determine whether the company is operating illegally."

    You want to flood the zone with shit to draw out your court case for 18 months until everyone loses interest? You can still do that. But you won't be making any money while you do, and I expect your employees still need paychecks if you want them to still be there when this wraps up.

    This isn't a silver bullet for every sort of court case, but I think this is a very sensible and obvious solution to corporate crimes.

  • This does seem more thematic for the subclass though, not going to lie.

    However, I would like to argue that I am, in fact, a creature that is within 30 feet of me that has dropped to 0 hit points.

  • This is good advice.

    I didn't figure 90PSI to be all that dangerous, we use a cheetah tank at my job sometimes for seating tires and that fires at 120PSI, but it's through a much larger orifice - so it wouldn't be as loud as through the valve stem. Losing the valve core is also a real possibility.

    I, a professional dumbass and mechanic, would probably pull the cores at any pressure up to but definitely not exceeding 100, and may very well regret my decision to do so. Any normal people who value their safety and don't deal with tires on a daily basis, and don't have a stash of a thousand spare valve stems 20 feet away, should exercise more caution.

    Thanks for calling me out on that, I probably don't respect lowish high pressures as much as I should. I'll try to keep an eye on that (from behind my safety glasses).

  • If it were up to me to do so, I'd remove the valve core to let the tire vent some pressure. Might still recommend some safety glasses for it though because if you don't have a good grip on that core it's going to fire itself out of the valve stem like an air rifle pellet.

    If you don't have a valve core removal tool then you can also just press down on the tip of the valve core with a small screwdriver or something, but you might be risking some damage to the core doing that, and you're going to be sitting there an awful long time listening to it psssshhhh its way back down to 30. Even if you do damage the core it's nothing that isn't fixable at a tire shop though.

  • If it blows itself off the car during travel because you hit a pothole the wrong way, it is definitely a dire risk to life and limb. It's less about the impact of the tire itself at that point and more about the fact that you're basically guaranteed to suddenly swerve off the road.

  • For the non car-folks in this thread :

    Normal tire pressure is about 30-40 PSI and a bad rupture can kill you or break your bones even at that pressure if you're standing next to the tire.

    This person has just installed four bombs on their vehicle that will go off at the slightest inconvenience. A 90 PSI car tire is an imminent risk of death to the driver and everyone around them. Do not let your friends or family do this.

  • At this point it doesn't even really matter, it's just a question of whether anyone would step up to stop them. "The Rules" in general have already been well and truly trod upon and I'm not sure we make it out the other side of this without some restructuring of them.
