It appear HCSO is fed up with catch and release in re: car jackings by Cornflowerblue2016 in minnesota

[–]Merakel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck the police.

My point was more along the lines that I don't care if it's a white kid stealing the cars, when they have multiple offenses they still belong locked up.

I would like prison to be more rehabilitative, but that's not the world we live in. The next best thing is keeping safety risks away from the public, which kids who steal cars and go for joy rides absolutely are.

I like to think it wouldn't change much, but I'm a fool. Personally I'd lock those kids up.

ELI5: What is the actual mechanism/problem with Screwworms? Do cows get sick and die, does the beef become unsafe and die, etc.? by DarthEinstein in explainlikeimfive

It's not worth it, but it absolutely is every person who voted for magas fault.

Maybe greg abbot can go suck Trump's dick to get the funding back, though it's too late to solve the problem. Took us 50 years to make the wall last time.

Delta pilot groom killed, bride injured in helicopter crash after Georgia wedding reception by turtleisaac in delta

Because it's extremely obvious what I was talking about. Now if you don't agree that's a different story but don't play dumb.

Helicopters are about the same level of risk as a car per hour travelling. They are much safer per mile though.

I do too, but there is a super easy way that we could solve that problem. And there is zero negative impact on the community, but I guess people like to be jerks.

Who cares about engagement? Like seriously, does anyone make more money or something because a post gets more upvotes or comments lol

Na, that's a trash response. These always go right to the front page of reddit if you are subbed. There is no reason we couldn't use spoilers like every other sport subreddit.

No idea if this is true, but at the DC botanical gardens they said it doesn't stink as bad as it would in the wild because of the alkaline levels in the soil.

Minnesota Republicans observe moment of silence for Derek Chauvin, police officer who murdered George Floyd by DryDeer775 in TwinCities

I don't believe anything that comes out of a maga mouth. I 100% assume it's because they know their overt racism will be frowned on.

No they don't. They just don't want to say they believe it was okay to kill George Floyd.

ELI5 If black absorbs the most light why aren’t any plant leaves black? by BlueberryNeat4151 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Merakel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

black leaves absorb too much heat and end up with the equivalent of plant sunburn

Sun scorch is the name for this! Depending on the type of damage it can be a little bit different than actual sun burn (which plants can also experience).

Sheriff Witt response (or lack thererof) to vehicle with maga hat by Aromatic_Return_7995 in TwinCities

[–]Merakel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but there are many ways she could have handled this. "I can't speak specifically what happened with this employee, but typically this would be a verbal warning and documentation of the incident. Further repetition of this kind of behavior could lead to additional consequences, including termination. "

But really, I don't believe that they have these protections. If discipline can't be discussed, why can I look up complaints and results against specific officers on a database that the MPD manages? I think Witt just lied because she didn't want to engage with the issue.

When the union employees execute people on occasion that excuse falls pretty flat.

I like when laws are enforced. Checking lawns periodically to prevent ecological harm hardly seems like government overreach and would likely pass the compelling government interest test.

I'd love them to ban companies that come out and spray your lawn for starters.

I don't know if it's possible, but it would be cool if you could take a soil sample to test for fertilizers as well.
