The blue numbers are completely absurd. 30% live in Texas, 32% in California, 30% in NYC. And 20% with a household income over 1 million? I know a couple who are top seniors at Google & Apple, respectively, and while I think they may be over 500k annually, I doubt it’s a million. And I definitely know they are far from the median.
Bad cops, even the worst of the worst, do a normal job 99% of the time. It’s the other 1 % of their actions that have such a negative impact.
When you are not up to date on the topic, it sounds like a far-fetched dystopian alternate timeline.
Reminds me of an ad (!) German conservatives (CDU) made. I don’t remember all the details, but it showed the politician as he stated something like: What the social democrats want to do would make housing in Berlin affordable again, thus removing real estate from the free market.
These people are in it so deep, they think that the common man would hate that just as much as they do.
Yes, the worst was when something startled her (sting from a thistle?) and she dashed for the door full speed, into the harness, did a looping. A good fit is essential, could have cause major injury!
They really make sense; instinctively, cats trust running water more than stale water, for the same reasons I mentioned.
Often thought about it, but didn’t get a chance to try.
Hm. Maybe try putting the water away from the food. Some cats don’t like it near the food. (Presumably related to clean water sources in nature vs. dead prey.)
My last cat only ever drank from the running tab. Jumped into the bathtub and meowed until someone turned it on, day or night.
What would happen if someone were to detain a group of marines (with the minimal force necessary), in the wrong assumption - honest mistake - that they were about to execute illegal orders?
Never read one completely nor watched a full movie, but it always felt cheap and written from the unenlightened perspective of a simple mind to me.
The fantasy books of my generation, such as The Neverending Story, Momo, The Hobbit, Jim Knopf were a whole different level. Life experience and a touch of wisdom in a great story for children.
But I also think that it might be just my perspective, since my mind has been imprinted like that. I’m not judging anyone for being a Harry Potter fan and try to think of it as different, not worse.
That is a weird understanding of the law. As any elementary school kid (outside the US) knows: Doesn’t matter if the suspect stole a chewing gum or killed someone - they need to be stopped and arrested with the least harm possible.
Punishment is done by the courts. Not a police job.
I’m no expert, but I would think that the best way for this to work is to go all-in with the first strike. Every following strike will be SO much harder to succeed.
Could be a “phase 2” like: Expecting all parked trucks and sheds in a 10 km radius of any military airbase to be inspected, so make traps. (Or any other phase 2 that takes advantage of the reaction.)
LA is also a good opportunity to say: This and this and this high ranking officer failed and will be replaced (by a loyalist).
It’s what makes Walter White a weak person. Even when his family needed him, he cowered when he had to face his ego, false pride and other vices.
Knowing that you COULD become this badass, but choosing not to, for his family, while nobody else would ever believe that he could have, that’d be the mark of a hero.

Table top dishwashers usually have a window. My kid considered it a major disadvantage when we got a real dishwasher that the window was missing.
Last time I had to implement a feature like that, I stored a substring of the old password’s hash. If one User in a million gets a False quotation Mark same Passwort quotation Mark message, I can live with it.

One insanity in the following years was how they thought people still wanted their next generation diesel.
I’ve been working for them in the 2010s with the department to organise the staff car fleet. We ordered many electric vehicles years ahead from production and planned it all around electric vehicles: Charging stations, operating distance, some hybrids for long distance, software to calculate trips etc.
Then a few months before we needed them, they said: We overproduced on the latest diesel generation and can’t keep up with the demand for electric vehicles, so we have to sell the ones you ordered. You can either go with a Tesla (for official Volkswagen business trips!) or have the diesel for free.
It felt like there was a hysteria: Decision makers got it in their heads that the “hype” for electric vehicles was ideology-driven and not something people with buying power actually wanted today or in the near future. Bit like the republican administration thinking that “woke” is our main problem. Meanwhile, huge research and development departments did come up with the electric vehicles they sell today (and fully working hydrogen prototypes you won’t see in a store, just to be safe) and must have been quite frustrated that so few were produced.
That does make sense. Smartest thing he has said so far.
We already have “Miss Germany” etc. Why did we not think of using that term for the respective leader?
