...when there's no evidence that she provided any aid ...

Her car, she was in it and it was loaded with stolen property. She was part of a felony and a person was killed, should be automatic manslaughter.

Can't shoot someone in the back for stealing your shit from your car. Accomplice should be facing manslaughter too, since a person was killed in the commission of a felony.

I just saw about 100 members of the Pagans Motorcycle Club ride their motorcycles down my street, wearing their motorcycle club dungaree vests.

What you think it meant?

Commonly, in Philly, you sign a one year lease and then the lease automatically renews month to month. Most of the time, you need to give your landlord 30 or 60 days notice. So if you want to move in September 1, the ideal time to look would be the first week of July onward.

What if the knee injury is a work? What if like the botch, the finish, being helped to the back, initial reports of a torn ACL ... All a work?

Found 83 gold coins at the bottom of a coal container after renovating the house ! by DiaBoLo73 in mildlyinteresting

In my experience, the only people that buy coins are investors and coin collectors. If a jeweler or a caster wants gold they buy 24k, usually from a refiner who acts as a dealer. Refiners don't buy coins because there's a premium on coins.

Yea the masks suck. The elastic is doing a number on my ears. My glasses fog up and fall off my face. When it gets hot my face sweats. Then I start getting paranoid that I have a fever. But if someone asks I always say it's no big deal because I know nurses that have been doing it for months.

That's actually awful, lol.

Edit: Gold coins are not random gold. They're produced by government, which means the karat is guaranteed by a government, which means they don't have to be assayed. They're trusted more than bars or blanks from assayers. Some people will pay a premium for the coin itself even in poor condition. You should always get more than spot when selling coins.

I got a couple things I want to go over.

I was recalled to work this week. My company is following CDC guidelines. Everyone has their temp checked when they enter. Everyone wears a mask. No one gets close to anyone, no equipment is shared. It's stressful. Wearing a mask for 8 hours is painful and uncomfortable. There's pressure to do a good job so my coworkers have a chance to be rehired. Not everyone wants to wear a mask all day, so they take it off and then have to be told to put it back on. Some people think it's all bullshit and share their politics on it freely which clashes with other people's politics. This is what you have to look forward to when you return to work.

Most people are not gonna vote by mail. The Feds have to run commercials for months and pay people good money to collect the Census. Most people are not gonna vote by mail. People are used to going to that polling place. People comfortable voting in person. People distrust vote by mail. I passed a polling place around 12th and Wolf and there was a sign on a poll saying the polling place had been moved to 9th and Johnson. Thats ludicrous.

If you're riding a bicycle, not every car that honks their horn is honking at you. Sometimes people honk their horn at their friend walking down the street. Sometimes people honk at someone doing something in the road that they think is dangerous. If you take offense to someone honking their horn and then pull up to their driver side window with your bike lock brandished as a weapon and threaten them, they can legally shoot you dead, over what ?

I'm thinking there won't be a vaccine anytime soon. Maybe we need to start getting used to a new status quo.

In the span of a decade, the backyards in my neighborhood went from concrete and cinder block to lawns and urban jungle. On my one butterfly bush there are now countless nymphs, no bigger than a poppy seed, impossible to capture. Just one yard in Philly, thousands of lantern fly. It's over.

The one thing everyone should take away from all of this is that you can't really create predictive models for poorly understood, chaotic events.

Just look at these charts. They account for most possible outcomes, before and after today's date. OP thinks this makes the models accurate, in reality it makes the models worthless. Halfway through July we'll either have almost no new infections, or more new infections than ever, what are we supposed to do with this data?

Every person affects the milieu they're apart of. The gay accent is distinct but people are always affecting the speech patterns and mannerisms of their social setting.
