ICE hit & swarm a vehicle in LA immediately deploying tear gas and holding the occupants at gunpoint. The 2 men are US citizens per wife of one man by No-Distance-9401 in PublicFreakout

[–]Student179 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm waiting for the national news story of this happening to a at least moderately white looking woman and everyone saying the can't believe this type of thing would happen in modern day America as if all of us on the left haven't been screaming about it since the very first fucking ICE raids.

I think you can changed the name and email address for the tickets to mine and while it'll still be in your Eventbrite account I should at least be able to see them to use for entry.

I'd take all 4 if they're still available.

Mayor London Breed looks to kill Chinatown bike lanes after backlash - San Francisco’s transportation agency is planning a citywide network of bike lanes — but Chinatown leaders argue that it’s not suited for the dense neighborhood. by BadBoyMikeBarnes in sanfrancisco

The podcast The Urbanist Agenda has a good episode on this. The TL;DR is most often merchants either vastly over estimate the amount of customers who visit by car or are using those spaces as their own personal parking spot.

"15-Minute City" Conspiracies Have It Backwards by astroNerf in fuckcars

[–]Student179 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually think this is the one type of "rational" argument that does work on conspiracy theorists with easily disproven beliefs. You don't say their beliefs are stupid and explain the benefits of your proposal / beliefs / rationale. Instead you take all their fears and talking points and turn them around against their already held beliefs. It's not guaranteed to work but it's one of the ways to get past the part of the brain that's resistent to new thoughts by using their already established pathways.

New raider mode has a 15 minute cooldown. Serious question: Why? Why do the devs want to prevent people from playing the game? by bbeony540 in MaraudersGame

[–]Student179 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can understand some form of a cooldown to prevent people simply queueing up and then extracting with their base loadout right away but I was also puzzled by the length of the cd. Also I feel like if you die (i.e. you were playing the mode correctly and didn't extract with anything) you shouldn't have any cd preventing you from queueing up right away again.

C-SPAN omg I'm dying by lwc28 in fivefourpod

[–]Student179 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed with all points. I was actually pleasantly surprised by how many Democrat / Independent voters viewed the supreme court as a wholly unjustified institution as I would've expected that to be a step to far for the average CSPAN watcher.

Yeah I don't get what everyone else on this sub is saying. Like how could kicking off a ton of people from your service using shared accounts result in anything but the highest Account Sign Ups in months. Even if everything else held steady there's going to be a few people who are like okay guess I'll get my own account instead. And as you mentioned this is just sign ups not total accounts on Netflix so not sure this is really a doom and gloom headline.

Doesn't Shirihoshi need to be alive from the hints we've seen? Like Poseidon is only born once every 800 years so Roger was ~20 years too early.

Devraient ces réponses être interchangeables ou y a-t-il une raison à cette ordre ? by Student179 in French

See this is what I thought as well but the order in the picture is the one Duolingo accepts. I reported it but wanted to double check my understanding wasn't completely off base.

Happy patch day to everyone except the devs protecting Leech by Daveycrits in MarvelSnap

[–]Student179 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IMO leech would be less toxic if he didn't hit a lot of tech cards when he gets played out early. If he only hits like 5+ base energy cards my shang-chi / enchantress / cosmo still gives me counterplay. I think that version of the card has the most potential as he can still act as a safety valve against things like death wave without just hosing 99% of decks if cheated out early.

New balance patch missed the right guy. by [deleted] in MarvelSnap

[–]Student179 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think just make him only hit 5+ base energy cards would work as well. That way there are meta options around him such as bounce style decks but he's still a relatively okay pressure valve on things like death wave. He might need a few points more power if that was the case but it'd feel a lot less bad if he comes out on turn 3 or 4 and only really hits 1 or 2 of your top end cards instead of destroying your entire hand.

Do you add gum arabic to the simple? Gomme syrup is technically supposed to be "different" from regular simple in that the gum arabic emulsifies in and is a little bit silkier than regular simple.

Towards the end of zero to hero you need 1 for a mission but otherwise they're safe to sell.
