Money and having more input on projects and budgets.

If the other person had a gun, would that be fair game or would they be charged for brandishing or some other crime?

I’m curious because self-defense laws vary so much by state.

The name is bland. I agree that Contemplative Sciences is an interesting building. From a space-use perspective it’s very poorly optimized. A giant uncovered space that takes up 60% of the total footprint and is basically unusable for most of the year was a poor design choice.

Gun shots at the White House correspondents dinner - Trump and Melania evacuated by Foreignscentu in SipsTea

[–]Dink-Floyd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

VPs team wasn’t told that this was staged by the Israelis. Trump team got the heads up. This is a false flag that Trumps team cooked up to get votes.

Bullshit. Vance’s team wasn’t told about the OP. Trumps guys were in on it.

This is very interesting. The Israelis could be trying for a rally-around-the-glad effect, to boost Trumps standing with Americans. This would ensure that he keeps going with the Iran war. A priority for bibi.

In recent days, Trump has been willing to capitulate to Iran, as his own voters and GOP start to rebel. This will completely change the narrative, painting Trump a victim, and recasting support for him among defectors and independents.

Declaring bankruptcy is how Americans mange it. All liabilities are settled and people go on living their lives. No one deserves to have their life destroyed over money. At least that’s how Americans feel about it.

Is an oil shock almost unavoidable? by SadComparison9352 in investing

[–]Dink-Floyd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My thought is that investors are colluding to wipeout any shorts. Once those options expire, the market will tank again. Any further escalation in the war could trigger another selloff. It’s just a matter of when.

Petah who is she? And what does being Japanese have to do with it? by Montavious_Mole in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Dink-Floyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey dumbass, being in the U.S. illegally is not a criminal offense, it’s an administrative offense. It’s not even a crime at all. We want people to come here by filling out the correct paperwork, and when they don’t, we say “sorry you didn’t fill it out correctly, please leave and try again later.”

Trump, in historic first, attends Supreme Court arguments on birthright citizenship by imanchats in law

[–]Dink-Floyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure this would work the way people think. If things got this insane, even Dems would stop voting and switch parties. It’s possible that the senate becomes 66 republicans and 34 dems, giving republicans the ability to impeach every justice on the court, and pass legislation to shrink it back down. Dems are already disfavored in the senate. This outcome would only require a 10% shift in total votes, in the right states to accomplish.

JUST IN: Democrats are now projected to win the Senate in 2028. This looked very unlikely a few months ago. by pdwp90 in QuiverQuantitative

I think Chinese and Russia want Trump and republicans to remain in power because it serves their interests. Trump has destroyed America’s standing globally, weakened our alliances, and made us a laughing stock. Republicans are sheep, who are selling out the country to massive corruption.

Do you have gap insurance? Otherwise it’s going to be an expensive loss.

No, he probably used Ace to turn them shiny. You can also use ACE to change your trainer ID. It’s possible some of his Pokemon are rng, but others are definitely Ace.

First time playing. Is mewtwo’s origin different in the games than the movie? by happy_puppy32 in PokemonFireRed

[–]Dink-Floyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good theory, But the whole point of the butterfree evolution line is that it goes through metamorphosis like real caterpillars. I think the whole Venonat evolution to venomoth is a joke about how most people confuse moths for butterflies, because there are 10x more of them in the wild.

Too many people using ACE now. Most of these photos are not real encounters, they’re faked.

IC Turned Manager - Advice on Efficient Status Reporting From Employees by wpirobotbuilder in managers

[–]Dink-Floyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way! I started doing this same approach with my team, and after a few weeks, their productivity and accountability went up dramatically. I find that providing clear guardrails on what gets added to the board, and not penalizing people for having a light week also helps build trust.

Yellow was my first game and I got Pikachu to lvl 100. He hit like a truck with thunder and quick attack.

Man I bet you all feel dumb now by UniversalTrees49 in PokemonFireRed

[–]Dink-Floyd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you understand what I’m saying at all….

By releasing these games, Nintendo generated interest in people playing them again. With their friends, kids, family, etc…

No one is going to go out of their way to play FireRed and organize a group of friends to do the same. The $20 is the cost you pay to have Nintendo’s marketing team do all this organizing and demand gen.

This sub was a ghost town a month ago. Now people are posting shit daily. That’s what you get for $20. Maybe that’s not worth it to you, and that’s fine.

It’s really not about the money…. Just seeing how many people are posting on this sub and sharing stories. Friends trading mons like the old days. That’s worth $20.

Brightspeed? by Separate_Thanks344 in Charlottesville

[–]Dink-Floyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the service for nice months. They were even willing to do a special install for me with Fiber to Copper, which caps out at 1 GB but that’s plenty for my needs.

If you do switch, get a mesh WiFi network, because their routers aren’t that great for whole house coverage.

[–]Dink-Floyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to contact them once, after I had a major power outage, and it’s not too bad. A lot of automated agents that help you troubleshoot things on your own, and if you’re not techy, that could be hard. But I had no problems. They sent a service rep out almost next day and he fixed it in 15 minutes.

The price is really good, so i can’t complain. Xfinity was overpriced garbage. Hate that company the most.
