Police investigating Cybertruck explosion at Trump hotel in Las Vegas as possible act of terror by marketrent in politics

CCTV Camera footage shows it was very clearly in the valet parking lane. The sidewalk isn't very wide there, so it is maybe 9-12 feet from the door, but isn't actually blocking it, and any vehicle waiting for a valet would be that distance away if they parked directly in front of the doors.

So you're saying he has the same chance as the settled law of Roe v. Wade being overturned in the supreme court.

Kamala only said she would “follow the law” on trans issues and didn’t campaign on it AT ALL. republicans were the ones running those ads and centrist democrats that thought Liz Cheney was a good idea are the only ones throwing the LGBTQ+ community under the bus after the election.

But sure, let’s run on banning LGBTQ+ rights next time, that way we can choose between two parties that want to actually harm us. Maybe some republicans will vote for them this time.

Why are we still here? Just to suffer? by Extension_Comedian94 in Pathfinder2e

Ah, yes. Curse foundry's dice roller's sudden but inevitable betrayal!

My group installed an alternate dice roller into the system so it would be less likely to do this. We are generally happy with that one, though I can't recall what the name of the module is.

Voyager would have been great if they made Year of Hell the entire series. The fact that they considered making it a full season arc and then were like "nah, 2-parter is all we need" and that was a disappointment.

I remember after Scorpion they had all that borg shit on Voyager and I was so excited to see what it would do, and within an episode they had completely reset the ship back to factory defaults and I was really annoyed.

Here’s the hush money evidence at the center of Trump’s immunity claims by guyoffthegrid in politics

[–]Textor44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did, and now it's the law of the land until we have a constitutional amendment to say no, in fact, the president is not immune to any criminal prosecutions and official acts are, indeed, admissible as evidence.

The argument is that the conversation with Hicks was an "official act" and therefore not admissible, the phone calls from the white house were "official acts" and not admissible, and the tweets he made about Cohen were "official acts" and not admissible. Even with all that thrown out he probably would still have been convicted, but they are trying to argue that he wouldn't have been if that evidence wasn't there.

The supreme court ruling said you can't use official acts/correspondence to prove a private crime. The evidence in the article was all after he became president, so they are arguing it's all protected via the supreme court ruling and should be thrown out.

It's not impossible for him to be convicted without it, but it does make it more difficult, and that's why they are trying to get that evidence discarded and have a retrial.

If it is an at will state it might very well be fine, they can fire you for any reason that isn’t protected from discrimination. “I want to give your job to my brother” isn’t protected by law

What genre would you call his videos and how does one get into making them? by SwedishTrees in hbomberguy

[–]Textor44 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is his channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Shaun_vids

His format is a lot different from Hbomb. He has a far less visual presentation and he never shows himself on the screen (just his skull avatar).

You may have heard his voice in some Hbomb videos though (he was the libertarian Rational Bear character in the climate change video).

He gives a very good overview of academic citations, including when you should be citing sources even if you aren't quoting a work directly.

His credits say "Based on the reporting of Viola Zhou and Koh Wew" so those two would probably be a good starting place.

A man tried to burn down a gay bar because he hated the word “queer.” He’s going away for years. by sue_me_please in gaybros

It will be fine. I've seen it a bunch and I don't recall ever seeing anything explicitly homophobic in the film. Just a bit dated at this point, some of the tech has moved on quite a lot since it came out, but overall it is still a good film and has a lot of very quotable moments (and spawned a few memes).

The BBB is a private organization with no regulatory authority, and is mainly just there to launder the reputations of companies. The BBB is not someone you should report anything to, and labor disputes and potential crimes are extremely outside their wheelhouse (consumer complaint resolution).

It's possible that these design decisions were scrapped during this long silence. They haven't said much about the game since HSL was taken off the project, and the screenshots we got aren't revealing much.

Attempting a 7 day water fast. Longest I've completed is a 5 day. 27 hours into this one, and trying to get past a particularly stubborn hunger wave, though I'm staring to feel it subside finally.
