Ma Laeng Tod (Thai street food- fried insects,) is delicious. The grub were like spicy-savory gummy bears.

As some one who’s perhaps too adventurous for their own good (I’ll eat almost anything, once.)… I find this whole idea that it’s going to be forced patently ludicrous. Even if there was a push towards it.

if they’re anything like the ICE cruisers… they’re dropping another shitload in up grades. custom-built gun vaults, as well as other specially-built storage … first aid, extra handcuffs. leg cuffs. Kiddie cuffs. flex-cuffs. evidence collection. Road safety stuffs. Flashlights. speed radar thingies. rolls of printer paper for citation printers. Cameras. spare uniforms. Condoms for the badgebunnies. extra batteries for radios. extra batteries for flashlights. batteries for cameras. extra uniforms. all sorts of bullshit paperwork and forms that only get filled out when they come a cross a karen. Door breaching and lock out tools

needless to say, cops keep a lot of junk in the trunk. So much so the cop’s version of the ford explorer (“Police Interceptor Utility”) actually only has a special suspension to handle the extra weight, and 2 rows of seating instead of 3 to accommodate the entirely-custom storage rack.

oh. you thought they were talking about body armor… naw. They get APC’s for that.

Ever noticed how lots of police departments label their cars in very low contrast lettering? That’s so they can blend into traffic without being instantly noticeable as a police car. I think it’s obvious what I’m pointing out here.

you mean that automatic siren built into the body paneling isn’t gonna help them blend in?

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

I’m imagining the cybercop bouncing off the car they meant to pit and flipping/rolling until the cop is skidding on nothing more than a car seat and holding a steering wheel.

Yes, it’s cartoonish.

I agree, and you’re welcome.

Workers at TJ Maxx and Marshalls are wearing police-like body cameras. Here’s how it’s going (www.cnn.com)

Retail chains like TJX, the parent company of TJ Maxx and Marshalls, are equipping some store employees with body cameras to deter shoplifting and improve safety. This is part of a growing trend in the retail industry, as stores respond to an increase in organized retail theft and violence against workers. However, some...

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

honestly, body cameras are more about liability after the fact. There’s really only two reasons to strap a camera on somebody- liability defense (cops, armed security guards, etc,) and being able to monitor what the fuck they’re doing. both are important when the individuals in question are armed. Not so much when the expected response is constructive cowardice.

There’s absolutely no way a body camera would act as a deterrent when traditional and AI-enhanced security cameras that they’re absolutely already using won’t. Also, I’m not entirely sure I believe that there’s massive waves of organized shoplifters.

There is- as noted in the article- a massive wave of unionization, though. and that would probably hurt their profits far more than any wave of shoplifting ever will.

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

It’s the same reason I made sure the security cameras on my house are visible from the street. People with bad intentions just move on to easier targets.

no they don’t.

they wear a hoodie. or a ball cap. or they have a package to block their face. or any of a hundred other ways of making a camera useless on the cheap.

Your highly visible cameras only tell them you can afford some good shit. I’m not saying you shouldn’t have cameras- and they’ll usually be visible if you know what to look for… it’s kind of necessary for them to function… But cameras are not a deterrence, and neither are they an active element in your security. They are passive, and really only useful when dealing with insurance or explaining what actually happened in the first place.

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

this is the real reason why they’re doing it.

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Seriously.

Like if you think mass-shoplifting hurts them- that shit’s already baked into the price of goods being sold before it ever happened.

Unionizing will hurt their profits far, far more than shoplifters ever will.

Tomorrow’s recipe adjusted based on yesterday’s shrink? 👨‍🍳

Nope. They have fancy overpriced mathnerds (“actuaries”) that build models to predict future shrinkage and price that into today’s prices.

The shrinkage is paid for before it ever goes out the door. Probably, before it ever came in the door in the first place.

These mathnerds that work for these corporations are some of the best in the business of risk modeling. Second only to insurance companies.

My magic 8 ball says “most likely they get arrested before that happens”.

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve worked in contract security for too long.

Not with retailers. We charge too much for them, and they really wouldn’t like my recommendations.

And take it from a manager- Unions are vital. Corporations would ratfuck their own mother if it would increase their profits by a buck.

But their attitude is a bit more like “shrinkage is unavoidable.” So they plan to mitigate its effects before it ever happens. Unfortunately the easiest and most cost effective way to do it is to bake it in and pass that cost onto customers.

This is definitely an analog synth progression, but I’d suggest that doesn’t really answer the question of genre. (Or it’s a digital recreation of one,)

Generative ambient music is a bit more polite than “elevator music” - but that has more to do with a lack of lyrics and being more chill than quality.

The other tracks sound a bit synth wave-y to me, too

Hard disagree.

Alito can call the agency responsible for protecting them (Supreme court police? Marshals?) and say you threatened him.

Who’re they really going to believe? Richness whitendude who sits on the top court or random newly weds?

That’s like swatting on steroids and they’ll just pass it off as a mere misunderstanding

For the record, he doesn’t have to be charged.

It’s enforced by a vote in congress as to if he’s eligible or not. Being that the one time this happened outside of participation in the civil war, it was a guy in congress, his chamber voted- but I assume it would take both houses to oust a president

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not sure how it would be contrary to the 14.3 and 14.5 amendments, but sure.

And oh, by the way, that would be gross partisanship and qualify scrotus for impeachment, as 14.5 assigned sole enforcement to congress.

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

If the process that happened with whats-his-name-from-Wisconsin is followed, then they’d have to wait until after he’s elected but before he’s seated anyhow.

Further, Congress has the constitutional power to override SCOTUS decisions. It’s happened five times. I don’t know if SCOTUS has ever overturned a congressional action that was taken under the direct authority of the constitution.

if you’re going to use ‘this is incredibly unprecedented’… yes. it fucking is. It’s incredibly unprecedented that a sitting US president used riots and insurrection to attempt to overturn the will of the people. such a blatant and unprecedented violation of democracy requires unprecedented responses. (like locking up an ex pres for insurrection.)

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, I kind of insist on well done steaks when I’m at my brother’s house… mostly because my SiL has some rather unsettling food safety practices. It’s possible to cook them so they’re not totally shoe-leather, but I would never go to a steak joint and order well done.

@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

assault and battery are both vaguely termed legal definitions that depend on what state you’re in.

in MN, there’s no legal definition for battery, with assault being defined with multiple levels ranging from ‘mere’ threats through “poked me on the arm” to beating the shit out of someone.

In WI, where this happened, it seems they’re the opposite with the only mention of ‘assault’ be related to sexual assault. and battery being similar to MN’s assault charges. Though, I only took a cursory look through their laws.
