I really don’t think this is a good idea. Fascist media will be selectively editing the footage to tell lies about what’s really going on, and we all know the people that watch/listen to that garbage are not concerned with actual facts.
The media already does that, so it’s really no different. Without live streaming, the media would just straight up lie about what happened in court and live streaming provides vital protection against that. Trump WILL lie about what happens in court, this is why they are live streaming it.
Disinformation will be spread regardless. Yes, if there’s footage it does mean it can be edited and spliced. But then it’s even easier to clearly show that it’s disinformation if people can just watch the footage.
Precisely this. Whether they have public video of the trial or not, Republicans are going to make up a fantasy version of it anyway. Might as well have this major piece of history on public record as it happens.
So far they have all had the luxury of having their cases behind closed doors. There’s so many times where a judge has laid into them for trying to push ridiculous shit. If that happens (which we know it will because they are clowns) it would be great for the public to see the look on their faces.
Short memory; there were protests and violence when he was acquitted. I can’t blame you for not remembering it after almost 30 years; chances are you probably weren’t born. But OJ had a lot of rabid, brain dead supporters, and he had a lot of rabid, brain dead opponents. And that was for a single guy (allegedly? He was found not guilty) murdering his wife, not a rich dude trying to subvert democracy.
I hate how they always seem to promote joints in any cannabis article. Maybe start promoting healthier options…
Ideally I wouldnt put any cannabis in my lungs… But I’ve switched to concentrates to be a little healthier. Bowls, Js and blunts are for special occasions and I definitely feel it in my lungs after.
I’ve owned like 10 different dry herb vapes. Cost me a lot of money.
My favorite all around vape is the solo 2.
Pax for more public use.
Dynavap has a special use for me. Reminds me of a j. I also have some induction heaters.
Divine tribes v 4 and 5 right now are my daily drivers. Ones on a pico for portability and the v5 is connected to a bottomless banger.
Flowerpot is great but I feel like I over consumer with it.
Elevator is niche… I don’t like using a torch. I have it filled with sapphire beads and it’s wrapped with an email coil. It’s alright… Good for taste but the flowerpot is better for vapor.
Had a digital volcano for a month but returned it. I was disappointed with it and it also had me consuming more than I should.
Hmm… I wonder why consumption went up? I noticed mine go up when I switched but that was probably more of a fascination with the new “toy” than anything else.
I think because it vapes better when the bowl is filled up to a certain amount. Like the volcano was like a gram sized bowl. The flower pot is probably half a gram. If I didn’t finish a full bowl ide end up dumping the half vapes into my abv jar.
Yeah I have a bunch of vapes. I listed them in another comment.
Yeah the edibles are somewhat different. But with legalization it’s different from the old days. There nano emulsified, distillate edibles, rso edibles, tinctures, and straight rso in a capsule.
Personally I make tincture and add drops to canned seltzer. I just put like 5mg in a can and drink them kinda like I would beer. Sometimes I add it to my cocktails.
Edibles do seem to lose out on the variety of strain effects though imo.
Back in the day we would just add as much weed to brownies that we could and get blasted. Now it’s kinda nice to just catch a light buzz and reup when needed. …before bed is different though I love a high dose before bed.
It sucks that it costs so much more. I skirt the gummy and tincture prices, I buy rso grams and 190 proof alcohol to make my own tinctures. This way I can also change the dropper dose and add CBD/cbn/cbg.
Even the rso price is high… When I look at medical menus it’s like 20$ cheaper and the med users get a better selection.
Summary: construction next door to middle school dumped perlite on the roof of the middle school. The perlite absorbed water, got heavier, and broke the roof.
“The cost for breaking the law is too low in this country, people don’t have any respect for the law, that’s the key reason,”
Sounds familiar.
Future generations have it figured out. The cost for breaking a law must always exceed any gains made from doing so. Otherwise it’s just the cost of doing business.
“This is a lightweight “bubbly” form of concrete used widely between the 1950s and mid-1990s - usually in the form of panels on flat roofs, as well as occasionally in pitched roofs, floors and walls. It has a lifespan of around 30 years.”
A concrete panel expected to last 30 years was installed in 1995, in what year should you replace it?
What year math is that you suppose? Third grade? Fourth grade? Just asking…
Who cares? I just need to get the construction in under budget so that I can get my end of year bonus, this will all be some other idiots problem soon enough.
Another pile of shit that we’ve inherited from fucking boomers who’ve failed to invest adequately in their children’s futures because they were more interested in a quick buck for themselves. The most entitled generation in human history and the first to leave the planet in a worse stat than which they found it in.
Oh great. I’ll get live updates from the Heritage Foundation and the Daily Signal about how Biden’s anarchistic will is being carried out through Fani Willis in an egregious abuse of the law to prosecute the greatest political force for good the world has ever seen since Chile’s Pinochet.
I worked in rail for a bit, and almost got hit once. Saw many many near misses. People think “how could you not notice a train roaring towards you?!”. But these things can happen with alarming ease.
I used to be a blue collar worker that now works in the office. This is the same as the other unrealistic solutions I put up with regularly.
So now we are going to add another device, which adds another point of failure, that needs to be maintained and monitored constantly.
What happens if that device fails? Who is paying for the expense of this upgrade and the training for the conductor and ground workers to operate and monitor this? What happens if they are distracted while troubleshooting the device and the train approaches them anyways? What happens when the blue collar worker doesn’t give a fuck about safety and turns it off because it’s annoying? This is not a simple fix and rather it adds layers of complications to the entire process.
Especially when it would just be easier to I don’t know, maybe not run so many trains back to back all the time and ensure that the track is closed off? The real issue here is that the company does not want to lose profit, so they are willing to skirt safety concerns by continuing to operate trains while they are being maintained. However every time I make an argument like this it gets shut down and some new idiot tries to recommend more technology to solve something as simple as “turn it off”.
Thank you kindly. I’m actually a huge tech nerd at heart, so it kind of pains me to kill off something cool like that but when it comes to safety I don’t mess around. Simple and straightforward are usually the safest options.
If I sent my boys out to do something, I want them back home to their families later that night in the same condition I sent them there in.
When workers need to access a portion of railtrack (a block), they need to request a possession and isolation from the command center of the line. A possession means no train can approach less than two blocks from the block they will work on, and an isolation means the power is cut (most lines in Europe are electrified).
The procedure to perform this has been specifically designed to avoid miscommunications, with multiple back and forth between the operators on the ground and the command center to ensure one doesn't mindlessly make a mistake. Usually it's done by phone but I believe some lines now have apps for it.
This accident should not have happened. If the possession had been granted then at the very least the signaling system would have warned the train driver to stop several kilometers before he reached them. On modern lines the train would have stopped automatically, without human intervention. And signaling systems are extremely robust, they don't "bug" in a way that makes this possible.
To me this must be a human error. Either the workers worked without a possession (because they though it would be ok, the line was not operating at that time, it was a short operation, yadda yadda. The exact reason why possession requests are mandatory...) or it was an old line and the train driver was not paying attention to the point of ignoring several, big reg lights telling him to stop.
Either way, no GPS location sharing would have helped if someone disregarded safety instructions. :/
Source : I'm not an expert but I did an internship in a company who designs signaling systems in Europe and my project was specifically on the subject of replacing phone calls for possession and isolation with an app on a PDA.
Ferrovie dell stato has stated today towards RAI that the works should not have started until this train had passed. It looks very much like the workers did not have possession of the tracks. Some sourced claim that the manager had not received permission and was possibly not even on site.
Interesting is the fact that the train is in relatively pristine condition if you look at RAIs videos - they definitely didn’t already have heavy machinery in place or they did put it on another track (which is unlikely as the according to the Ferrovie statement the accident happened on the track they were supposed to work on). Another interesting fact is the speed of the train - which had two conductors onboard,btw: The train was doing 160km/h - this is not a speed you use in a segment that you expect works on another track to be done.
Personally if I had to bet money on one theory I would guess the manager (who was the one certified to work with Ferrovie) was not on site/not concentrated, the workers were told when the last train goes through/there was some miscommunication with the guys on scene and they either mistook another train as the “last” train or the “last” one was late/not in their schedule and they started simply by the clock.
Or someone in the control center fucked up beyond believe and that is much more unlikely tbh.
Anyway, those poor bastards, poor families and friends and even poor villages. They basically are all locals.
Trains are really unpredictable. Even in the middle of a forest two rails can appear out of nowhere, and a 1.5-mile fully loaded coal drag, heading east out of the low-sulfur mines of the PRB, will be right on your ass the next moment.
I was doing laundry in my basement, and I tripped over a metal bar that wasn’t there the moment before. I looked down: “Rail? WTF?” and then I saw concrete sleepers underneath and heard the rumbling.
Deafening railroad horn. I dumped my wife’s pants, unfolded, and dove behind the water heater. It was a double-stacked Z train, headed east towards the fast single track of the BNSF Emporia Sub (Flint Hills). Majestic as hell: 75 mph, 6 units, distributed power: 4 ES44DC’s pulling, and 2 Dash-9’s pushing, all in run 8. Whole house smelled like diesel for a couple of hours!
Fact is, there is no way to discern which path a train will take, so you really have to be watchful. If only there were some way of knowing the routes trains travel; maybe some sort of marks on the ground, like twin iron bars running along the paths trains take. You could look for trains when you encounter the iron bars on the ground, and avoid these sorts of collisions. But such a measure would be extremely expensive. And how would one enforce a rule keeping the trains on those paths?
A big hole in homeland security is railway engineer screening and hijacking prevention. There is nothing to stop a rogue engineer, or an ISIS terrorist, from driving a train into the Pentagon, the White House or the Statue of Liberty, and our government has done fuck-all to prevent it.
Nothing matters to most Burgerlanders but the treats. Threaten the treats, and they’ll get weird and maybe even get violent. We saw that during covid restrictions making sit-in restaurants less convenient. grill-broke
Sometimes I’m surprised very little of them are upset about climate change and capitalism because it threatens recreation.
Oceans filled with plastic? Rent and house price alike are both too expensive to live anywhere near the beach? Hiking trails become littered with plastic? Hell, walkable cities are filled with amenities giving someone a lot of ways to spend their time. Granted, I don’t think neither nature nor architecture qualifies as “treats” let alone something burgerlanders care that much about.
Climate change and wage theft are very hard to prove and bring consequences for by design of the system, but if your burger is too small that’s pretty easy to sue over for false advertising.
Donald Trump’s trial in Georgia over charges of election fraud will be livestreamed and televised, a judge has ruled.
All the hearings will be available live on Fulton County Court’s YouTube channel, said Judge Scott McAfee.
Mr Trump and 18 people are charged with a conspiracy to overturn the state’s 2020 presidential election results.
Mr Trump briefly travelled to Atlanta last week to turn himself in at Fulton County Jail and have his mugshot taken.
Prosecutors allege that he pressured Georgia officials to reverse the results of the election in the state, which he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.
The former New York real estate tycoon is the current frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination and his mounting legal problems have done nothing to dent his popularity among his supporters.

False equivalencies are lazy and dishonest. Less harm is still less harm, and still plausibly closer to sustainability than YOLO BURN EVERYTHING DOWN FOR BORGER.
I didn’t disagree with plants generally being less env friendly.
Most CO2 emmision wrt to meat is misleading because they are part of the carbon cycle. Pumping out oil is not comparable here.
A lot of fossil fuel is utilised in the cultivation, storage, transportation of various seasonal crops, often across the world. Same as for meat. Generalizing plant vs meat often hides those behind moral arguments.
What false equivalency? Polluting is not the same as sustainable? Sustainable how? Animal husbandry has been practiced for millennias and in many places is the main food source where agriculture isn’t feasible.
Making a wide general statement and nitpicking in the arument is lazy and dishonest. Atleast read what I was responding to.

You’re too high on your own farts and hypocritically ignoring what I had said to meaningfully respond to, but I’ll try it anyway for anyone else reading.
moral arguments
Cultivating meat costs more energy (and generally has more carbon emissions) than using the same amount of land to grow edible plants. It’s a basic rule of energy conservation, not a “moral argument.”
It looks more like you want your burger treats to go uncriticized until and unless some impossibly perfect alternative has absolutely zero-to-negative emissions. That way, your burger treats continue to go uncriticized for all of the forseeable future.
Calling me lazy an dishonest for asking a clarification on an ambiguous term ‘sustainable’. I hadn’t made any claims to be called at.
You again used sustainable to which i defined and responded how animal husbandry is infact sustainable.
So how have I not responded to your comment?
Its you pulling out accusations and imagining up arguments that was never made and making personal attacks rather than stick to making valid arguments and address the actual points being made.
Your argument about energy fails to distinguish between the typical carbon cycle of moving through plants animals and decomposition incontrast with the cabon introduced through fossil fuels. This was what I pointed out previously too.
And we cant just plop down plants that are human digestable in many places where we grow the feed for cattles. Correct me on that.
Spare me the claim that your sneering passive aggressive sanctimony (claiming that energy waste and environmental damage from factory meat production is a “moral argument”) is somehow superior because you used more Reddit words to dress it up.
You used false equivalencies to hide your consumer-brained selfishness to try to justify the status quo. There was nothing more to it and there is nothing more worth saying to you.
While i agree to the points it still stands that the majority of CO2 and methane(a more potent greenhouse gas) are part of the carbon cycle that has been relatively stable.
It is not comparable to the dumping of carbon from fossil fuels. This is something many collate together and make disingenuous arguments. Correct me where I am wrong in understanding this.
One additional point(though i have no exact statistics) per kg isnt comparable between plants and meat. Large portions of plant are not edible and used as fertilizers or cattle feed at best. Meat is also energy dense and hence required in far less quantities than carbohydrates.
Not to mention water isnt equally distributed. Doing intensive agriculture in drought prone areas are far worse than cattle raised in water rich regions.
I would be interestsed in finding a study that takes a wide array of factors and calculates the effects.
And as a blue blooded, god feering, gun toting, truck driving, steak eating, pussy grabbing, anti-woke, America first, patriot like myself that is exactly what we want. -s
Those laws basically say it’s OK to shoot someone if you feel threatened. You can practically get away with murdering someone for looking at you the wrong way.
Fine, maybe I misinterpreted why people think it’s OK to shoot at people for knocking on their door or pulling into the wrong driveway. I still don’t want to go to places where people are likely to do that.
Kinda weird to be randomly knocking on doors, but to each their own. The country is also massive, just visit the nice states. Depending on where you live, youd be just as likely to be stabbed then shot at for knocking on a door.
I’m not moving anything. You think because a couple of people, in a country of 300 million killed by done crazy dude when they knock on his door, that the whole country is at risk. It’s a completely preposterous position. And this is not an exclusive risk to the US.
