I’d churn my own butter at the sight of a woman’s bare ankle bone. Best to just punish women for that. It’s impossible to control my own urges.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Why does this feel like cover for a known rapist to continue unabated?

meco03211 ,

Especially weighed against the capabilities of the person being inconvenienced or overwhelmed. If they have a hard enough time taking care of themselves, adding another person could be a death sentence for both.

The Articles of Confederation had some language in it. Those were quite famously superceded by a little document we call the Constitution. Sovcits will sometimes reference language used in the Articles to claim random stuff that just doesn’t apply.

They’ll also find random laws that can use niche definitions and stuff. As a sort of example, there’s a section of federal law that pretty clearly excludes your personal car from the definition of “motor vehicle”. Though I didn’t dig much further, the definitions section began with, “For the purposes of this chapter the following definitions apply.” Emphasis mine. They then use this to say states are not allowed to supercede feeders federal law and therefore the state is wrong.

Mostly yes. Consider an actual deadly threat with someone shooting at you. You start shooting back and they duck for cover. They shoot again, you shoot again, and again they duck for cover. If I was on that jury, I’m not convicting you for shooting at the person ducking for cover. This is an extremely specific and nuanced hypothetical. So mostly yes, but there could be some million to one scenario that doesn’t follow that track.

Where I worked they’d get plenty of salt in the fryer. Whenever some asshat would order fries with no salt, we’d take already cooked and salted fries and just drop 'em back in the fryer for a few seconds. Crisps them up and takes some of the saltiness away. Wait… something doesn’t math right in that equation. Oh well.

South Dakota governor, a potential Trump running mate, writes in new book about killing her dog (apnews.com)

The Guardian obtained a copy of Noem’s soon-to-be released book, “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward.” In it, she tells the story of the ill-fated Cricket, a 14-month-old wirehaired pointer she was training for pheasant hunting....

I’m thinking of the old adage on how she lacks the warmth and depth to be a cunt.

Is Airbus seeing similar rates of failure on their older models? Not that you personally need to know, just that question should be asked/answered if we’re going to give Boeing the benefit of the doubt.

Is it worth the solar panels I'm getting? (lemmy.world)

I’m sorry for posting this here. There isn’t a solar panel instance, nor did I see anything for electricians. I know there’s been a lot of gripe with certain solar companies (solgen being in litigation, and others) but I didn’t hear much about freedom forever, since they’re new to Seattle area where I’m doing this....

meco03211 ,

If they don’t install what was quoted, you might not know until this are installed. That could make things difficult.

I’ll add that is around the size of my system and less than I paid. I do have microinverters however. So that could explain some cost difference.

meco03211 ,

I did a 5 year “solar loan” through my credit union. 2.49% if I recall correctly.

meco03211 ,

And in come the farmers to game the system which doesn’t generate revenue for the advertisers but tiktok would still rake in the impressions.

Unpresidented.

There’s an Abbot and Costello skit in there somewhere. “You’re on a new diet?” “No I said deit.”

meco03211 ,

And they can. It’s sometimes framed as prosecutorial discretion. It’s the reason why if you’re driving with the “flow” of traffic that is speeding, you can get pulled over and no one else. They aren’t legally required to pull over any of them, let alone the “first” offender.

meco03211 ,

A big distinction is that it’s unlawful to follow unconstitutional orders. This is to hopefully prevent us ending up like the Nazis and a bunch of people trying to claim “I was just following orders”. So it oversimplifies the situation to say “disobeying the president” is unconstitutional. There’s nuance.

Trump was forced to listen silently as potential jurors offered their unvarnished assessments of him (apnews.com)

New Yorkers who said they couldn’t approach the case fairly were excused during jury selection. But one of the women with the harshest assessments of him will be among those who will determine his fate on 34 counts of falsifying business records....

meco03211 ,

Or they knew to temper their words lest they be dismissed. I imagine some want to be on the jury.

meco03211 ,

It’s not a law that says he can’t trade his shares for six months. It was part of the deal going “public” (they loopholed out of having an IPO). That deal also can be changed by the board of directors. That board is just sycophants like Devin Nunes and one of his sons he doesn’t hate.

meco03211 ,

Where do you get that? I can’t seem to find it.

meco03211 ,

To add onto that, it doesn’t prevent them from breaking into a phone or safe. If they have probable cause or a warrant to search either, they have the legal right to search them. Whether they choose to search them or not given this probable cause depends on the crime being investigated, the difficulty of successfully obtaining the contents, and overall desire to solve the crime/fuck with you. They probably aren’t drilling out a huge safe for a jaywalking case. For a murder case, they are probably leaving you with a broken and useless safe and all the contents confiscated.

It can go away tomorrow if 51 Senators agree to get rid of it.

I don’t trust dems to not fuck this up. I can see them again trying to take the “high road”

meco03211 ,

Were you named after a jean torch?

meco03211 ,

I also ANAL but being an executor doesn’t give you carte blanch to weaponize the courts against your debts. They were awarded that money. If there was any rational argument to lower or vacate that judgment, OJ and company had decades to proffer that argument. This just screams petty.

meco03211 ,

Except they’re wasn’t an IPO. They used a well-known shitty loophole to get by that.

meco03211 ,

“Look! It’s the only word anyone can spell with the letters G-I-N-G-E-R!” - some stupid fucking racist probably.

Sounds like something a pencildick would say.

That was fucking glorious.

Is the new Fallout TV show depressing?

I get pretty easy depressed watching TV shows with a depressing tone or a lot of character deaths or that. If its more in the background its generally fine, but things like Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and The Boys are a lot for the moment. How does the new Fallout show compare?...

meco03211 ,

I’d second this take. I see so many elements that typically get “updated” or “refreshed” when IPs are adapted to different media. I’ve often thought this is a vain attempt to appeal to the non-“fanboys” and appear more accessible. This show does NOT do that and it’s fucking amazing.

meco03211 ,

They’re usually just called menus.

On top of that, having kids carries a massive carbon footprint. An adopted kid is already penciled in for that. I’d even wager a kid in the system would be more of a burden on carbon levels than one in a home.

On an open, straight road, a giant tortoise can actually hit quite reasonable speed. (lemmy.world)

(Not my image, so I didn’t actually measure this buddy’s speed, sorry. I don’t know where this was actually taken or what tortoise species this is. This may LOOK like a left hand drive country, but do the tortoises know the traffic laws? …that’s another matter, you know.)

meco03211 ,

But what type of speed are we talking? Is it a normal human walking pace? Running?

meco03211 ,

It is a gif. That’s how fast he’s moving.

meco03211 ,

But which amendment makes it that way? Huh? Huh? Huh?

meco03211 ,

It’s been two hours. They for sure murdered someone.

meco03211 ,

You’ll notice the referenced door blowout incident on the “newly new” aircraft differs from this new incident where I couldn’t find mention of the age. A failure like this could be due to poor maintenence on a decades old aircraft and no fault of Boeing. It’s the new media trend to pile onto Boeing now for every issue. Now Boeing deserves much of the hate they are currently getting. But it can muddy the waters and give them ammo to cry about unfair treatment if we blame them for issues they didn’t cause.

meco03211 ,

This might be the one where they think the government has $2 million your to your social security number that you can use. If so my guess is that the money isn’t allowed to be just “withdrawn” it can only cover a debt? So have the estate loan money to the “bank” (yes this isn’t a debt but my guess here is pfm)?

Gummies are working overtime but if I just read one sentence at a time I can never link the massive holes from one to the next. Might be how their brains work all the time?

meco03211 ,

fact that he had voluntarily come to the US to face punishment

This should only count if he didn’t know the outcome before coming. If he’d been in talks with the prosecutor and no jail was already decided, this isn’t some brave surrender.

meco03211 ,

Oh we got a smart-ass over here trying to hold her breath? Well missy you should have thought about that before getting pregnant. Now we’ve got you for attempted murder!

meco03211 ,

Yeah. If real, weird to get a personalized plate despite being a sovcit and thinking you’re outside the government’s reach. If fake, I feel like this could get dangerously close to forgery. Even for a state issued item that might get into federal charges.

Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works (gizmodo.com)

A judge in Washington state has blocked video evidence that’s been “AI-enhanced” from being submitted in a triple murder trial. And that’s a good thing, given the fact that too many people seem to think applying an AI filter can give them access to secret visual data.

meco03211 ,

Just print the damn thing!

  1. (Or maybe addendum to 1. Or 3.) Most complications in flights occur near takeoff and landing. These are altitudes not conducive for parachutes.
meco03211 ,

Just curious. Where did you find info indicating they were expensive to repair? I have an older Model S and that hasn’t been my experience. I had items that could have been expensive but were repaired under warranty. I know their warranty has been pared down since then. Wondering if it’s just less items covered under warranty or more repairs being necessary or some combination.

meco03211 ,

How long do you intend to own and drive your Tesla, and what do you anticipate future maintenance and repair bills to look like?

Gods willing, I’ll “Ship of Theseus” this thing in perpetuity. Future costs (excluding the battery for now) will be similar to ICE where applicable. I’ll never have an alternator or transmission failure, but shocks, tires, heat, AC, and other similar items will have pretty similar costs. Touchscreen failures are pretty rare but I’m OK with that should it fail. Software updates are not a recurring cost. I imagine that would go the same route other proprietary software used to run hardware would go. Should they come out with a completely new version, there would be ample time to prep for an “end of life” scenario.

The battery degredation is a major difference. The good news is that outside abnormal failures, as it ages, the battery simply loses capacity. Most of those abnormal failures would have likely presented by now. The ICE comparison would be if your gas tank got smaller. We are a two car family for now so we could potentially push that for a long time. We could manage if the true range was less than 50 miles.

So what if decide we do want to replace the battery? $4k is much lower than estimates I’ve heard so far but I haven’t dug into it recently either. $10k-$20k is more inline with figures I’ve seen. My hope is that battery tech keeps evolving and we could potentially get more range with a replacement than the original battery. That is very much a cost I’m comfortable planning for.

If you plan to “drive it into the ground,”

To extrapolate further, I don’t want to drive it into the ground. I want to keep this vehicle as long as possible and prop it up like some mangled Frankenstein if necessary. The big reason is that I have free supercharging for life. That means, excluding any legal shenanigans to remove that, I essentially have “free gas” for life. I understand this puts me in a vastly different position than most people, especially those looking to buy an EV.

All that said, I’m mainly asking things like “where’d you hear this bad news” somewhat in an effort to keep my ear to the ground. Life happens and there’s tons of ways I’ll be in the market again for an EV. Just want to stay abreast of the situation, but also to combat any false or misleading info. In their current form, EVs aren’t appropriate for everybody. But I’ve run into a lot of people that think that based on false/misleading info. You seem to have a firm enough grasp of the situation though.

meco03211 ,

I’m under no illusion that it’s actually a permanent situation. It’s just contractually permanent… unless they alter the deal.

meco03211 ,

Fuck United.

meco03211 ,

Personally had a bad experience with them on top of all the bad press they get. I will never fly united again.

Texas woman sues prosecutors who charged her with murder after she self-managed an abortion (apnews.com)

A Texas woman who was charged with murder over self-managing an abortion and spent two nights in jail has sued prosecutors along the U.S.-Mexico border who put the criminal case in motion before it was later dropped....

meco03211 ,

First read the title and thought it would have as much chance as suing a cop with qualified immunity. Then got to the part you quoted and now think it has a decent chance.
