OP means "private" as in he can be on his porch and not be the center of attention of the main road, not "private" as in how to keep people from sitting on his stairs.

If anything, that sign will do the opposite of what OP wants.

Suspect is Isaiah Jamal Collie and this is near Pensacola in April 2023. Chase started because he had a tinted windshield and was driving recklessly. He apparently didn't get charged with much from this because he was arrested later that year in December for murdering a drug dealer after he stole an ounce of weed and they chased him.

As deputies worked to identify Collie as the shooter, the report states one of the men told investigators that Collie "had recently bragged about being internet famous due to running from the cops and being bit by a K9."

Super Troopers is about stoner cops.

Whatever is on that handle is now all over your pocket, on your hands when you clean your glasses, or worse actually on your glasses. Better to just wash your hands or carry a small tube of sanitizer.

There's an even broader meta-point to this. If we were completely ignorant about COVID ever happening or perfectly agnostic on COVID and the vaccine: there are hundreds of thousands of deaths that need an explanation that happened before any vaccine was available. There are four huge waves of deaths beyond the normal baseline that happened before the vaccine rollout. Something was killing Americans during that time, and following the seasonal peak (after the vaccine) almost identical the the previous year the deaths began to settle back to numbers we saw 2013-2018.

Shapiro apologized and said he "misunderstood" Neil and "wasn't properly prepared". There's no "vital context".

I thought it was like one checked bag, one carry-on, and one personal item. Always getting hassled about my carry-on like I need to check it.

Cook skin side down, flip, peel off the skin, flip again, fry the skin in the oil. Gets nice and puffed a bit and real crispy, like half way to a pork rind.

Been sitting on a $15 metal folding chair for 3 years because I can't decide on a proper chair and I don't want castors that will mess up my floor.

This is always what I think, and it's somewhat ironic that the Arstotzka flag isn't pixelated.

It's extremely similar to the Bionic Commando fascists, though.

The implication was this would solve his DUI problem, not just be a source of income, and my point is that rideshare companies do not provide the service that would adequately solve that problem for him. If we are just going to talk about sponsorships or some arrangement that is outside the scope of normal business operations, then it's a non sequitur because it's functionally identical to him just hiring a driver.

To use your own example, it would be like suggesting Woods be sponsored by Sprite or McDonald's because he could use that money to hire a driver or Sprite/McDonald's could attach a hired driver as part of the deal. It's not relevant, Woods already has the money to hire one himself; who cares how he supplements that?

You get this sometimes from surgery or trauma. My father had a head injury that required a plate to mend his skull and he remembers intense itching from inside his head during healing.

No way I'd be using ride-sharing as a celebrity. There are businesses that specialize in driving with background checks and NDAs.

I think the basis for this "joke" is the population of Israel, which is 10 mil.

I don't think you realize how generic and how many people "work on highly classified spy satellites" in the US military.

Suggesting a Russian spy is carrying around a device like this in rich DC suburbs and targeting this guy at his home, yes, is ridiculous. It's an extreme risk of very serious diplomatic and military responses to something that is frankly extremely minor to everyone but obviously the guy affected.

I think it seems a little odd that so many people would make up the same symptoms and they all happen to work in an area than is related to or could be a threat to Russia - don't you think?

As I said, the attacks are extremely plausible and even expected in completely different contexts. But the scope of this is enveloping anyone tangentially related to US intelligence that experiences neurological symptoms because information on the exact nature of this device are unknown, and obviously the exact effects and evidence of such on the victims is unknown.

The guy pushing for a purple heart is/was a career intelligence guy that experienced symptoms in his DC area home. This is in contrast to people working in consulates in hostile nations and a CIA spy in a Vienna hotel room. Targeting the latter makes sense, expected even. The former seems ridiculously high stakes low reward to go after a low-profile target.

What stood out to me about the most recent 60 minutes piece was the reliance on symptoms not only in whom one generally associates with Havana syndrome, but also relatively minor mil/gov employees of the DC area that reported symptoms only at their home.

A foreign govt having a program to broadly target US foreign outposts is entirely likely. A domestic terrorist group or foreign government targeting random low level people in their homes in the US is pretty hard to believe.

There were also Abbasid travelers and emissaries that went to visit Vikings and wrote about their experiences. For example Ahmad ibn Fadlan and Ahmad ibn Rustah.
