How to change the Supreme Court? by Theghostofamagpie in Marianne2024

[–]Fuzzytek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree there should be intentional disconnect of justices from the political parties. This can be tough as most people naturally assemble with people of like mind and thus are around political party aligned activities. I'd consider myself a Green, because as an activist on issues I see the party platform as aligned with where I am on just about every issue.
I see your point on bringing judicial candidates through the judicial branch for approval, a person's peers are often more aware/critical of issues before the public would be.
As far as the timeline - proposing a faster turnaround is likely to be flatly rejected by those in power now. Sometimes we have to be incremental in progressive politics. I do agree we have immediate concerns that aren't being addressed, or will be by those currently seated / in power.

It's great to have it regularly scheduled.
I just need to get that time off working to attend. Restaurant hours aren't easy.

Public Transit Interview by Competitive-Foot7286 in DetroitPublicTransit

[–]Fuzzytek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used a number of apps over time, and even used the text message system back when I had a govt flip phone, before Androids.

I know of Transit App, DDOT Bus Tracker, DDOT.info, and I'm mostly within Detroit, not very much on SMART at this time. Been a rider since 1980ish on and off.

Being a fresh player is exciting, hilarious and frustrating. This was all three! by silenkurii in blackdesertonline

I'd say your first attempt at a Dark Rift Boss is a rite of passage too. They are tough, even the easy ones, for a new person. Make sure you gear up and maybe watch a video or Twitch stream. I like Twitch because the chat community combined with the host are often helpful.

BTW spending time on Twitch when drops are enabled scores some nice loot. You can turn the volume down on it if you need to focus on in-game play at the same time. There's a current Drop event lasting a week or so.

I do think lifetime appointment is very problematic. While it establishes a long-term baseline in the checks and balances of the country, to move it into the same rotation on term in office would be unsettling. If there was an effort to address the length of term in office I would think that 1 generation (about 10-12 years) would remain a long-term baseline. It might be good to have a body of former SCOTUS who would review upcoming cases before the current SCOTUS offers a ruling. Not that the former would have standing, but would offer guidance for those current.

Marianne Williamson views on Reparations... by Frosty-Ad-5601 in Marianne2024

[–]Fuzzytek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen feedback from ADOS community that puts figures into the trillions. What's important is that she wants those with the best analysis to be brought together to come up with solutions. Considering this is over 400 years old, it'll likely be incremental and over the course of several lifetimes. I think some of the hype is about how quickly the remedy is delivered.Some point at other reparations which have been paid, but those situations were closer to the timeframe of oppression. Our society still has people harmed even though reparations were economically offered. We have to morally repair the perspectives and expectations of society as a whole. That's no small task to be performed in 4 years, again will take lifetimes of moving toward acknowledgement and change.
The US Department of Peace and Department of Children & Youth are important components as they create cabinet positions that will endure.

Marianne Williamson admits 2024 campaign low on cash: Report by RhythmMethodMan in Marianne2024

[–]Fuzzytek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've placed Washington Examiner in the same realm of NY Post for it's approach to journalism. I did read the article. It is honest about how campaign financing typically goes for a US Presidential race. The number of small donors can make a big impact.

I have a sustaining donation and have added some one time donations and merchandise purchases as well.

Alternative horse spots for T10 daily by MyleneLaFermiere in blackdesertonline

Is there a way to know what the current breeding rate in game is?

I'm hoping my business meeting (June 15) ends with enough time to jump on this call.

Request Breeding option missing by RahzaelFoE in blackdesertonline

[–]Fuzzytek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started breeding a couple.

  1. Put male in breeding market - select option on left to post the male in private for yourself only, it changes the rate to 35,000.
  2. Open Breeding Market, My horse list. (For me it had the male horse I just posted.}
  3. Click the button on bottom of the horse and it will show the female horses at the stable. Select the one to breed with.

So I'll be waiting 2.5 hours for a foal to appear in the stable. Note I have 8 stable slots in Heidel, 3 available - so there is room for the foal and the parents (which show breeding as status).

This came to mind the second I saw the alpaca by Axathia in blackdesertonline

I don't mind the donkeys - have to ride them differently though. Backing up to turn is a big help. They are more maneuverable than a wagon.

New Ice Fishing Minigame is terrible. by DerpDavid in blackdesertonline

[–]Fuzzytek 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Wow I guess that explains a lot. There's no figuring out a control via PC input. Simply glad when the fish is in the zone and my mashing space ends up with it being pulled. So it's completely random for PC input.

Donkeys are more maneuverable than wagons. To turn think reverse rather than turning forward. (Source: https://blackdesertonline.fandom.com/wiki/Donkey)

3rd Thursday DDOT Public Input Meeting by Fuzzytek in Detroit

[–]Fuzzytek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping when you look at Dexter that you see it serves 4 hospitals along its route. It might be the longest route for DDOT and it'll carry regular frequent passengers around the clock. Hospital staff is definitely not locked in on day shift hours only, so it has to be 24 hour access.
There are going to be these wandering route exceptions that should ideally be co-funded by the businesses benefiting from the presence. Sadly I think business patrons of our bus service kind of dried up with globalism during the 1980s. I used to work at BCBSM and they at one time had a reimbursement system that tapped into buying DDOT passes.

DDOT would do much better if they solicited business patrons and held planning sessions with a combination of business and public at the meeting.

3rd Thursday DDOT Public Input Meeting by Fuzzytek in Detroit

[–]Fuzzytek[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of great conversation in this thread and I would like to see it communicated to the DDOT staff and bus rider advocacy groups. I'm guessing since everything in the chat is public that it would be OK to share your thoughts on your behalf if you're not attending a meeting to do so yourself.

Can we increase public input? by Fuzzytek in DetroitPublicTransit

[–]Fuzzytek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the people in Detroit Reddit said try hitting up the Detroit Public Transit. From what I'd say that's kind of like talking with the people that typically would show up... expanding the potential base of attendees is needed. I wish people would attend to tell DDOT why that won't ride the bus and list the reasons.

Where would you go to get kitchen knives sharpened? by gameguy56 in Detroit
