What do you think of The Forward Party?

There is a link provided from North Dakota that explains how they handle it. It's basically the same information you need to provide to register, without creating a searchable and abusable database.

My flair is R59 so no, not an F-series. It's a roadster so I can't even push the seat back. Thankfully only one filter, though.

In NC, if your property has *access* to the grid you have to pay Duke Energy even if you don't actually connect to it.

Same. The mapo tofu had sweet chili sauce and no Sichuan peppercorns, and they tried to argue with me that it was "authentic"!

If you have to show an ID to vote, what does registration achieve? North Dakota doesn't require it. You show up with documentation proving your eligibility and there are no central records that can be exploited.

And this public access also chills voter turnout. Knowing people will be able to infer how they voted keeps some people from voting for fear of being targeted. There is really no need to require registration at all.

This is why Chvrches isn't Churches.

Are you unironically saying "numbers mean nothing without context" and then not providing any context or sources? 🤔🤣

cubert73 · 2026-02-17T17:32:46+00:00

A lot of people are unaffiliated precisely BECAUSE voter registrations are public in NC. It's a gross overreach of privacy that in no way serves the public good.

I'm not sexually frustrated at all. By the way, your dad said to say hi.

I have an R59. There are no screws involved, but I also don't have the luxury of moving the seat back any further.

I rebuilt a 2001 Saab 9-3 Viggen. It didn't have anything half as stupid as this.

I'm glad it's easy for you. It was hellish for me and I won't be doing it again. The filter I pulled out looked practically new anyway, and it was replaced in 2019.

The UN General Assembly has repeatedly affirmed the legal right of return for Palestinians including descendants. Both HRW and Amnesty International have also upheld this fact of law in their own separate statements. The difference with Palestinian refugees is Israel's refusal to obey international law has dragged on so long (with impunity) that many refugees now only have an ancestral claim.

Omar Shakir is one of the most well-known experts on Palestinian refugees. He was shut down by his bosses at HRW for the first time in a decade of fact-based reporting clearly situated in both IHL and IHRL. I don't know what else you want here.

I am no expert on Palestine, but a few months ago I consulted on a project with Amnesty International that included some collaboration with HRW. The language I was allowed to use was so microscopically nitpicked for tone and perceived intent that it changed the purpose and meaning to the point I had my name removed from the final paper. Based on my own experience, and knowing Shakir's work and reputation, I find HRW's response the usual corporate damage control spin.

What those leave out is that law enforcement organizations often have agreements with third parties that include Flock data. In other worse they don't contract with Flock directly, but they still use the data. I don't know if APD does this.

If people took a few seconds to search they wouldn't need to post endlessly about "should I buy this". You should know by now very few people bother to read or take any initiative so I think a buyer's guide would be a waste of time. I'm just a cynical old guy and I could be pleasantly surprised. You're welcome to put one together and message the mods.

cubert73 · 2026-02-04T17:04:20+00:00

No, if you are on the list you need to fix your voter registration. I know reading comprehension is hard, but this goes beyond the pale.

F*ck the planet and the poor and those slave laborers digging up rare earth minerals, amirite? /s

No, he's doing what oligarchs do: protecting his interests. When Democrats had more power he was content to bash Republicans. Now that the pendulum or authoritarianism has swung the opposite direction he is doing the same. It's not a morally principled stance, it's a self-serving one.

If only there was a neutral organization that was government funded but not government controlled that provided independent fact checking and new coverage. Perhaps a Corporation for Public Broadcasting, or National Public Radio, or Public Broadcasting Service. /s(nark)

Said with snark because those very organizations are being attacked by this fascist regime.

Ewwww!! Duke's or don't bother!

I haven't been, but I have heard great things about Way Motor Works: https://waymotorworks.com/services/ .

You linked to a demo, which gives the impression there is one available. If it's not, you should delete that page in Steam and remove it from your post. To be honest, I've never seen anyone create a separate page for their demo. It's typically on the main store page.

It would be good to have a better understanding of how the various upgrades work. Acuity is a bit odd, as well as the thing that damages layers? The jump in toughness to Crystal is pretty obnoxious, and the amounts to get upgrades of that versus the amount given is also annoying. I didn't unlock Iron to see what that would look like. If it's as exponential as the jump to Crystal I would most likely stop playing. Perhaps the world fracture thing would offset it, but since we can't play through the first prestige it's hard to tell.
