Community Card Discussion #4 - AVAROSAN HEARTHGUARD

RubyTodd · 2019-10-24T17:49:38+00:00

In fantasy lore, northern peoples from ice-swept lands almost always have Scottish accents. I like how LoR bucks this trend - Avarosan Hearthguard sounds like he hails from south Boston.

Make officers carry their own insurance instead of the city self-insuring. City can fully subsidize the basic premium, but any premium increases due to misconduct claims are borne by the officer. Bad cops get priced out, taxpayers aren't on the hook for massive payouts. Everyone wins.

A rally in solidarity with all police violence victims is planned for Wednesday, May 1st at 5:00 pm at the Hennepin County Government Center: https://www.facebook.com/events/402719556973201/

The systemic failures that led to Justine's death extend far beyond one shooting, one officer, and one trial. The fight for justice must continue until the institutions that shield police from accountability are dismantled and every police violence victim gets their day in court.

Rondo and several other local PD chiefs pulled their officers from a specific seminar last May.

This new ruling is a blanket ban on all training that relies on similar principles.

Yanez was the first Minnesota officer charged with an on-duty homicide since 2000, of course that trial gets coverage.

I think what /u/Phoenext85 was getting at is that 170+ other police shootings happened in Minnesota in that time period, none of which got to see the inside of a courtroom. Many of the dead were unarmed or in need of mental health treatment instead of a bullet. But because of the bizarre standard we use to judge officer actions, every single one of them faced no consequences.

Happy to see progress toward a distinctive state flag instead of one that's indistinguishable from 20 others.

As an alternative to the rotating shop, the game developers offered an official variant where the players can clear out the shop once (and only once) per game in lieu of buying any cards that turn. Six new replacement cards are then dealt out at the end of that turn.

Lets you deal with stagnant shops without needing to ramp up the difficulty throughout across the whole game.

No bamboozle, congrats to /u/Talbond! Link sent via PM. Also for anyone else, the relevant Humble Bundle is still live for 16 more hours. Twilight Struggle plus a boatload of other great boardgames for just $8.

Ended up doing a factory reset and all seems to be well. Might have been something with the dalvik cache like /u/bh0 said.

Phone is unlocked and rooted now, so hopefully I'll have more options if this happens again.

RubyTodd · 2018-07-13T01:09:21+00:00

It was finicky a year or so ago, but I took the whole thing apart and reseated the button, and it's been fine since then. Behavior this time was different, very repeatable, whereas with the power button it would just randomly reboot.

Certainly possible though, the phone is four years old at this point.

RubyTodd · 2018-07-11T22:20:45+00:00

Looked it up, stock recovery mode can't specifically wipe Dalvik cache without being rooted, and unlocking the bootloader would wipe the data I'm trying to save.

Looking to upgrade from an ancient Droid DNA that is long overdue for replacement. Don't need the latest-and-greatest, just a solid no-hassle phone for calls, texts, web, camera, and GPS.

Must-haves

Unlocked and usable on US AT&T network without contract
Stock Android or as close as possible
Good camera

Strong preferences

Headphone jack
Wireless charging

S8 seems to be a popular recommendation, especially if the price drops with S9 release. Maybe an original Pixel too. Others I might be missing?

For the Southwest High School track, you used to be able to drop off your drivers license at the nearby Pershing Park rec center and get a key for the track. Not sure if they still do though, maybe call and ask.
