Oh he wasn’t in da club, he was running around outside. One imagines in his tighty-whitey underwear, shitfaced and screaming, firing a gun wildly in anger at a woman who is not his lawfully wedded wife. Allegedly.
I was in a Canadian union for government work. For some reason we had casinos lumped in with our local. And let me tell you, those gambling companies were fuuuuucked. It was wild. There was no way we were ever going to bring up our little government issues or disagreements when the casino workers in our local were being raked over the coals in insidious ways.
Anyway. I wish all the best to the casino workers here.
Three Border Patrol agents shot Mattia nine times on May 18 after he lobbed a sheathed machete in front of a Tohono O’odham Nation Police Department officer. Body-camera footage released in June revealed that the agents who fatally shot Mattia were concerned he may have been carrying a firearm but none had been found.
So the dude literally disarms himself by throwing a sheathed weapon at the cops and they shoot him 3 times because they were afraid he might also have a gun somewhere?
I mean, not to victim blame, but throwing a weapon (or anything) in the direction of violent murderous thugs who are afraid of everything is generally a bad idea.
It doesn’t matter, though. Throwing anything in the direction of cops is a very bad idea, because like you said they get scared for no reason and murder without consequences.
He tossed it out, low to the ground, because you disarm yourself when the cops tell you. They shot him for having a cellphone in his hand. 38 times btw.
38 times, not 3. Also, there was no “machete”, it was a cellphone. And even after all that, one of them was still yelling at him to put his hands up or he’d shoot again, while the guy was facedown and dead on his own front lawn…
“After the shooting, a Border Patrol agent could be heard threatening to shoot Mattia again if he didn’t put his hands out as the agent approached him lying motionless face down on the ground.
“Put your hands out, bro. You’re gonna get shot again,” an agent yelled at Mattia in the video as he was approaching him. Mattia’s cell phone and case could be seen lying next to him in the video.”
What you see in the video being thrown at the very beginning definitely looks more like a sheathed machete than a phone. The phone is what he had in his hands after throwing the machete.
If you're gonna 3d print a home go whole hog. Do the best type.
The ones where they inflate a balloon, shape rebar to the balloon, deflate the balloon a bit, then pour the concrete over with a similar concrete pouring mechanism.
Construction of the house is expected to cost $265,000. That’s on par, if not a bit more expensive, than building a conventionally framed home because it’s one home and not multiple projects that take advantage of scale, according to Citizen Robotics. The organization spent $80,000 on site preparation, city water and sewer and repairing the street, Woodman said. The home is expected to be sold for $224,500. It is capped at that price.
Citizen Robotics is almost finished with this 1,000-square-foot home, Michigan’s first 3D-printed house in Detroit on Monday, Sept. 25, 2023. That’s about four times higher than the median sale price of a home in Detroit — $55,000 — according to a Free Press analysis of 1,000 deed records. The average price, the analysis found, was $82,000.
The value of most home sales was under $100,000, according to a Detroit Future City report. Median sale prices have gone up in Detroit. Researchers found that from 2020 to 2021, the median sales price was $30,000, compared with $15,000 from 2012 to 2013.
The development process is what makes building difficult, Cook said. It’s not affordable right now to build one-off 3D printed homes, he said.
“We can make and design a bunch of homes,” he said. “That’s not the issue. It’s finding the land, making it affordable for people, making it available to people and being able to continue to do the work.”
This is pretty neat, though it seems like pricing is still going to be the biggest obstacle for now.
Rural areas have long faced the problem that old houses are worth much less than costs. However people with money build new anyway because if you expect to live there for a while a new house gets a lot of nice features (better insulation, nicer kitchen, and built to much high standards), while the used house is still a old thing that doesn't meet modern needs.
