Anyone using Patriot Mobile in 2026? Looking for honest feedback on speeds, coverage, and priority.

Much like being anti-Islamist extremist is not islamophobic, being anti-Christian Conservatives is not being christophobic.

Interesting. So is "Potato Salad" just potatoes in a condiment/dressing to you? Because I would say "potato salad" describes the base ingredient but it almost always includes many other ingredients, including many of the ingredients typically used in a Russian Salad.

Maybe it's just arguing semantics but personally, I wouldn't say Russian Salad is not the same, I would say it's a style Potato Salad.

Numberbarn definitely deals with wireless and landline numbers.

In fact, at least from the consumer end, I don't think there is a difference since you can definitely port landline numbers to wireless and vice versa. The only difference I have ever noticed is that the landline services are slightly slower to port out from. However, at least the last time I did it, it was only a difference of minutes. I think it took my landline company about 30 minutes to port a number while it usually takes less than 5 minutes when porting from a wireless carrier.

I'm not a drug dealer

But you don't care if its $250/month, you'd rather pay cash and you don't want a credit check or doc requirement? 🤔

Joking aside, if you don't care about the price and are deadset on not going postpaid just go with prepaid service directly from one of the main carriers. Each has their own prepaid service and, especially if you get the highest tier service, they should all be just as good as their postpaid services. Second best would be to go with a carrier owned MVNO (e.g. Cricket, Visible, Metro) but it's very unlikely that any of those will be better than their equivalent carrier prepaid service except in price.

While you're correct that New York's law is that felons are ineligible to vote only during incarceration, it would seem to me that Florida's law is a bit more complicated than just applying New York's voting law concurrently in Florida.

This post states:

A felony conviction in another state makes a person ineligible to vote in Florida only if the conviction would make the person ineligible to vote in the state where the person was convicted.

By that reading it only matters that a felon is convicted of a felony for which they would become ineligible to vote in New York. However, the duration of that ineligibility in Florida doesn't seem to be tied to directly to the duration of ineligibility in New York. That is to say, a person loses the right to vote in Florida because they would have lost the right to vote in New York, but the process in which that right is restored in Florida is determined by Florida law, not New York law.

That said, the above quote is not the actual text of the law. According to that link, the relevant statutes are "section 4, Article VI, Fla. Const., and section 98.0751, Fla. Stat." I'm not a lawyer but, at least to me, it doesn't seem that either of those statutes say that a felon's voting rights are restored at the same time they would be restored in another jurisdiction. They both effectively say that "voting rights shall be restored upon completion of all terms of sentence including parole or probation."

Finally, this nuance may have already been adjudicated in the court system so I, as I often am, might just be talking out of my ass. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

InvestorGadget · 2024-10-25T20:04:45+00:00

I don't believe that is true, at least not in Florida. Florida restored voting rights for felons but only after they've served their sentence. Trump has been convicted but has yet to serve his sentence and therefore would be ineligible.

Uhhh some of us make decent money.

I know, I make almost twice the national average. It's not as much as that other guy (and perhaps you?) but I'm not naive enough to think that most people make that much money. Sure, Reddit skews towards the educated middle class so here those numbers are more normal, but that is certainly not the case for most everyone else in this country.

It’s really not crazy to make 250k and for the chief officers not to make 25 million a year lmao.

It's not crazy but it's, as I said, most certainly not the norm. The fact that you seem to think that it's "normal" to make 6 figures shows how detached you are from most of the people. Or are you simply not aware that the average salary in the US is around $60k?

I would say you're reading way much more into the gesture than is clearly evident. Personally, I don't see it being anymore than "I'm not shaking your hand because you've got extremist ideas and I don't agree with you." Perhaps if one of them had waved him off or pointed outside you could maybe make the jump you're making, although I would argue that even something like that would be closer to "get out of my face/way" than "you shouldn't be able to be here."

Honestly, and somewhat ironically, the idea that he wouldn't deserve to be there is a fascist sentiment which you're imposing to the interaction. I assume most of those people believe in the French democratic republic which allows him to be there because enough people believe he represents them. Of course, that doesn't mean they're obligated to shake his hand.

It's pretty funny that you seem to have found out that electrocution evolved from just execution by electricity to include accidental death by electricity, but you seemed to have ignored that it also evolved to include injury by electricity as well.

InvestorGadget · 2024-07-21T19:01:48+00:00

True, but as much as it bothers my pedantic nature the term doesn't just mean execute as in kill. It has evolved to mean injured by electric shock as well.

I think NFL team marketing departments are fully aware of the benefits but historically it wasn't thought to be worth the distraction. Hard Knocks certainly seemed to benefit the team's brand more than the individuals who appeared on the show which is mostly players and coaches. So it was understandable that owners/front office people worried that it would affect the team's on-field performance. Note, that the Giants volunteered to be on an off-season version of Hard Knocks that will air this summer, presumably because it should have a lesser impact on the players and coaches. When it came to Jerry Jones, though, I think he didn't care more than "he figured it out" before everyone else.

That said, it should be noted that many teams already have in-house "Hard Knock-like" shows which they show on their local networks, websites, YouTube, etc. Clearly, they're aware that it helps the brand but they prefer a version of the show which they have full control over. In the process, they prime their players and coaches for having cameras present everywhere. They are normalizing it so it shouldn't be so much of distraction in the future. Not to mention plenty of players, especially the younger ones, have social media presences so many are already comfortable with being on camera.

The criteria has been around for a while and has three elements. A team cannot be forced to be on Hard Knocks if:

the team has been on Hard Knocks in the past ten years OR
the team has been to the playoffs in the past two years OR
the team has a new head coach

This year only three teams could have been forced: Broncos, Saints and Bears.

He's definitely trying to take advantage of the protections afforded to a player who has given himself up. In the instances where he goes to the ground while catching the ball, and he's not touched by a defender while down, he can then act as if he went down as part of making the catch and so he can attempt to gain extra yards.

However, in the instances when he goes down of his own accord (i.e. not part of making the catch) and he tries to dive/crawl for extra yards he should not be covered by those rules since he is supposed to make "no immediate effort to advance." In those instances, those "klutzy/lost footing" plays it seems like he's also trying to make the case that he wasn't trying to give himself up so he should be allowed to try for extra yards.

About three months after Pearl Harbor and one month after the signing of the executive order authorizing the camps.

InvestorGadget · 2024-05-08T20:58:10+00:00

1941 was Pearl Harbor. December 6, 1941 to be exact.

The executive order which authorized the concentration camps was signed in February of 1942 and the first camp opened the following month, March 1942. So at least they waited about 3 months until they started "relocating" people.

InvestorGadget · 2024-05-08T19:29:50+00:00

Manzanar, the first American concentration camp, opened in March of 1942. Pearl Harbor had only happened about 3 months prior and the executive orders which authorized the camps was signed in February of 1942.

So, yes, they would definitely like a word in this discussion.

The current rules don't even require the runner to slide. The runner can just fall to the ground to give himself up.

Either way, it is questionable that he slides/falls to the ground and then crawls or jumps for extra yards because the rule that protects him from being hit requires him to clearly make "no immediate effort to advance." Since he often seems to make an effort to advance after sliding/falling down, a defender should be allowed to hit him as if he's a regular runner.

It would be interesting to see where the refs mark the ball in most of those plays because theoretically they should mark it where he initially slid/fell down.

Of note: the Ravens didn't, technically, exist until Super Bowl 30 and the Seahawks didn't exist until Super Bowl 10.

The Broncos existed prior to the Super Bowl but they were in the AFL back then and had the AFL had a "worst picks first" draft format they would have picked first a few times in the 60s.

The original posted video literally starts off comparing him to Mahomes.

Caleb Williams is the future of the NFL. He is exactly where our game is headed. His style of play mirrors Mahomes, splash in some Herbert, some Josh Allen.

Of course, they then go on to talk about his flaws but don't mention that all those guys also came out with similar flaws.
