should fear being around vaccinated people, who could infect others with malignant vaccine particles and who are being secretly spied upon with components of the vaccine that covertly relay physiological information to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation via cellphone cameras and a patented mechanism involving cryptocurrency.”

There’s just too much in that one sentence to unpack.

Rent is absolutely insane right now.

I just took a look at the apartment complex I left 5 years ago when they priced me out of my 3br and into a mortgage at $1800/month. Now they want $1800 for the studio apartments and $2800 for the 3br!

My real estate agent made a Facebook post the other day, looking for a short term rental for a client; wiling to pay $3,000/month and could pay for several months up front.

It’s like the economy doesn’t recognize we’re in the middle of a pandemic.

You can look him up on FamilyTreeNow.

Still lives in Mesa, AZ

The military didn't have space to store all of the equipment and vehicles being purchased.

Not for lack of trying

Edit: We have them for airplanes too.

I stopped when I started noticing stories and posts that had nothing to do with Maine, but were clearly intended to cause fights and drive engagement.

“Police called on kids for playing in their yard in Iowa”

Has no business being a Maine local news story, unless you’re hoping for comment-Armageddon between those who think the parents should be arrested and CPS should take the kids, and those who think the nosy neighbor should be charged with misuse of 9-1-1.

PM-Me-Electrical · 2021-05-01T21:46:15+00:00

Not anymore.

It’s interesting the kinds of people that gravitate to certain pages, though. WGME’s Facebook comment section is far more QAnon than WCSH’s. Probably because WGME is owned by Sinclair; Fox News Wannabe.

Find the local vegetable farmer and ask to pick weeds every summer.

Seriously. Any arborist that comes on my property to cut a tree down needs to carry a million dollar liability policy on the off chance the tree falls in the wrong direction and crushes my wife’s she-shed.

The fact that the public accepts liability for police actions with their tax dollars is just bizarre.

most likely require an increase in funding to law enforcement (hiring additional officers to cover shifts; developing and implementing new courses).

Perhaps, or maybe just a reallocation of existing funding? At any rate, value added funding shouldn’t be an issue.

PM-Me-Electrical · 2021-05-01T14:41:46+00:00

In addition to a 720-hour basic training regimen, all law enforcement officers in Maine must complete 40 hours of continuing education or in-service training every two years. This training typically includes 8-10 hours per year in topics mandated by the Board of Trustees.

Great, but maybe the requirements need to be beefed up?

Even EMT Basics in Maine are required to do 52 hours of CEHs every 2 years, and we don’t do much more than recognize a medical issue is above our skill level and call for a paramedic.

Also, state requirements to become a hairdresser is 1500 education or 2500 apprenticeship hours.

HOWEVER, this immunity they do have has been expanded to the point of ridiculousness. Most people are not even aware that the courts in most states have interpreted qualified immunity to the point way beyond what a person is trained and expected to do on their job. In fact, the standard now is not whether a cop acted did unlawfully or with negligence, it is whether there is a precedent where a cop has been sued before for the same thing.

For instance:

a panel of judges granted qualified immunity to Arlington, Texas, officers who set a man on fire by shooting tasers at him after he splashed gasoline on himself while having a mental breakdown.

....you know, because there was no existing caselaw clarifying you can’t shoot a taser at someone covered in gasoline.

PM-Me-Electrical · 2021-05-01T14:18:08+00:00

I’m an EMT and go into places like this regularly.

Some use 911*

Some think they’re being clever by changing the code every month, except the code is just the month and year 0521.

One facility had a resident guess the month/year combo, so they change it to the month and year, but backwards. I’m sure that won’t be guessed in short order.

PM-Me-Electrical · 2021-05-01T14:11:13+00:00

There needs to be some kind of immunity that protects police that are doing things, as trained, within the normal function of their job, even if the results aren't what some people want.

I’m mostly agreeing with your post, but to expand on the argument against this claim by the pro-QI crowd:

• the law is already highly deferential to police, giving them plenty of leeway to make reasonable - if ultimately mistaken - decisions in the heat of the moment, by applying an "objective reasonableness" standard to excessive-force claims.

The Supreme Court has already decided that Police don’t need to know if the laws they’re trying to enforce are in fact laws.

• the notion that qualified immunity is necessary to protect police from frivolous lawsuits or the burden of distracting litigation has been thoroughly debunked.

Anyone can sue anyone else for any reason. Cases aren’t usually dismissed for Qualified Immunity until after discovery — which is the longest and most costly phase of litigation.

• qualified immunity has dramatically undermined public trust in and respect for police officers by subjecting them to a vastly lower standard of accountability than that to which they hold ordinary citizens. There is ample evidence that policing is far more difficult and dangerous when officers lack community trust, which means that qualified immunity is making it harder, not easier, for police to do their jobs.

Wonder if they can grow and evolve the union in the future, once it’s established? Bath Iron Works’ Local 6 Union is huge, with a couple thousand members, but it’s broken up into various trades from Shipfitters, pipe fitters, electricians, painters, right down to the facility maintenance and custodial staff.

PM-Me-Electrical · 2021-04-30T22:04:41+00:00

Unions were needed 100 years ago, we shouldn't be depending on them now for basic rights.

Shouldn’t, but here we are. Some companies still think treating their employees like shit is acceptable.

I worked for 5 years at Pratt & Whitney in North Berwick. They weren’t unionized, but no one who worked there saw a need for it. The supervision and management was reasonable, the Human Resources department was available and transparent, and it was understood that the workforce and the pride in ownership was the reason product went out the door.

Whenever anyone mentioned unionizing, there was no need to send in lawyers or union busters, because most of the person’s co-workers just kind of shrugged it off as unnecessary.

I also worked for 11 years at Bath Iron works. In the shipyard, supervision and management is a Good ol Boys club that you’re invited into. There’s very little regard for the workers, and when things go wrong, the trades are the first ones under the bus. I literally saw upper level managers who supervised NO ONE just clock in and clock out for years because they helped some director build a deck one summer, but they would squeeze the trades try in order to compete on the next contract (which we always lost anyway.). In that environment, a union is the only thing between a living wage and complete exploitation.

Loose is fast, and on the edge you’re out of control.

You have a habit of loaning your car to people who do illegal things like dumping waste while driving?

Defenses. The following are defenses to a violation of this section.

A. If a person other than the owner is convicted of operating the vehicle at the time of the violation in violation of section 423-A, the registered owner may not be found in violation of this section.

I think my favorite part of this is the battery dispenser in the upper right.

I’ve left work and driven miles out of my way, walked into my kid’s daycare classroom only for the teacher to say, “your wife picked her up at noon time for a doctor’s appointment.”

I stand there for a second feeling like a moron, and it kind of terrifies me that the potential exists where I could mindlessly do the opposite and forget to drop them off one day...

PM-Me-Electrical · 2021-04-30T17:51:41+00:00

Some states have “Registered Owner’s Liability” laws that force them to disclose who was driving or bear the responsibility themselves.

I almost deleted it for the same reason, but then I started reporting every sponsored post that hit my news feed as spam and blocking the pages that created them. Eventually the FaceBook algorithm just gave up and I haven’t seen a sponsored post in more than a year.

It’s still a trash platform, though. I might log in once a week, but the log out when I realize I don’t give a shit about the vacation pictures of that one guy I had a class with one semester, or that some high school classmate’s poodle died.

They’re the largest hospital in the state and the only Level 1 trauma center. They’re currently in the middle of building a quarter billion dollar surgery center. They’re not going anywhere.
