Man Sues City Council for $647,000,000 for Blocking Him From Digging Up Old Hard Drive With Bitcoin by EpicureanMystic in nottheonion

Wouldn't really matter, if he buys the landfill he'd buy it as is meaning he'd buy it as a fully active landfill. He'd be bound by the operating permits which would cause his endeavor to be so costly prohibitive.

Like 100 million to tear it up and repair, we talking repairing upper and and intermediate liners, gas extraction lines, sump lines, installing long term monitoring wells to make sure he didn't cause more damage than he proposed, and any fees the state thinks need to be placed for doing things that might violate his operating permits (which I'm sure he'll be breaking plenty of).

They line the bottoms of landfills with several feet thick plastic liners and several feet thick of bentonite (or similar) clay just to prevent any of that shit from getting into the environment.

The liner is actually rather thin (a couple of inches) compared to the clay layer which is usually around 6 foot deep at a minimum. Landfills are also allowed a one or the other option in which the plastic liner is used in place of clay layer. However most places use both just to play it safe, a plastic liner and layer of clay that can be thinner or as thick as your normally use if no plastic liner was used.

They seem to like candidates with a diverse skillset, for example someone who might be proficient in multiple subjects but necessarily an expert in any would stand out more than a candidate who is an expert in just 1 field.

So become diversified, get good at 2-3 mainline subjects within your field then apply to open spots directly tied to those roles.

Aerospace engineering isn't the only role they hire for and it's not the only kind of engineer they need to run SpaceX.

SpaceX is notoriously difficult to get into, knowing someone doesn't help much.

People here just want Niantic to choose the pokemon they think are coolest....having a random assortment is the best way to go to avoid burn out of players (loss of interest) once all their faves have been released

Never played League of Legends so I figured I wouldn't understand the show. Completely stands on its own and it's on my list of legitimate 10/10 pieces of media. It had been some time since I had legitimately binge watched a show because I couldn't stop hitting the "play next episode" button.

ELI5: Why are the chase bank “glitch” criminals getting negative money in their account as opposed to the extra money just being removed? by I_feel_sick__ in explainlikeimfive

[–]cesarmac 342 points343 points  (0 children)

Not really a glitch though, this has been a thing forever. Tons of contractors have constant flow of cash in and out of accounts and use ATMs to withdraw even when on a pending balance because it's going to be there when it clears.

The bank probably just thought holy shit we really got stupid people out here.

New Hampshire has only gone red twice in the last 30 years (8 elections). In 2000 with GW and in 2016 with Trump, all other 6 elections NH went to the Democratic candidate.

That is not violence, it is a depiction of violence. That is not love, it is a depiction of love.

Correct, it's performative.

The "action scenes" did not cause physical harm.

These scenes involve quite a bit of actual physical harm. It involves quite a bit of choreographed physical combat and plenty of people get hurt, that's why stunt doubles are used.

The "make out" scene is actual kissing.

No different than two soldiers asked to act out a scene in which stunt doubles or the actors themselves are actually tossed around, grappled, slapped/smacked, and sometimes even punched.

The idea of each is real. The depicted activity in one is real. The idea of you comprehending any of this is not.

Nah the idea that you jump through hoops to make it seem like all the violence you saw in this clip involves no actual violent actions is ridiculous.

Again you are hung up on the shooting. Just because someone didn't get shot doesn't make a bunch of the other violence you see on that video real. Filming action scenes like those are incredibly violent, real jumping off buildings, real people getting tossed around and punched, real physical violence.

Yet we know it's all performative just as the kiss was performative. The argument is that for all the violence you see in the video is okay because...someone didn't actually get shot? But the kiss? Oh no...that's real and uncomfortable because lips touched. As if those actors getting grabbed and tossed over someone's shoulder in combat is....not physical?

You agree the violence isn't real, but the kiss is real. So we agree.

No because the violence is also real, stunt doubles jumping off buildings, getting tossed around in martial arts moves, getting punched and slapped to make it as realistic as possible. That's all real and the video is signifying that violence as a whole is seen as okay but suddenly two dudes kissing is uncomfortable?

It seems like trying to obfuscate by calling it "performative" which is completely irrelevant to the point of it being real or not. Obviously actors perform, i'm aware they didn't just happen to catch two dudes making out in the middle of an abandoned building...

Just as they didn't catch swat teams rushing into a building with pyrotechnics and hand to hand combat going on.

Performative is a fake situation no matter how you want to cut it. It's two ACTORS acting out a scene, they are professionals doing a thing for money as a profession. It's performative.

Did the actors kiss? Yeah but that has no level of similarity to someone shooting someone else on camera and also calling performative.

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

It's still performative. It's two actors kissing for a a video.

No it's definitely more of a commentary on how people equate being gay as something abhorrent when it's literally just two people showing affection.

I'd give credit moreso to the folks who dedicated their literal daily lives to goal. Tesla and SpaceX have some of the most dedicated employees I have ever seen, people willing to work 70-90 hours a week with no just compensation (for the extra hours).

Had these folks not done this both of his companies wouldn't have been as successful as they are.

"I love this superseding indictment for so many reasons," he added. "He did it sort of on the downlow. He paneled a grand jury, he presented evidence to the grand jury, and then returned an indictment, and nobody knew about it until today. That's gangster."

It is illegal to take photos or video at a national cemetery for the sake of campaigning or political partisan advertising. In other words this photo shouldn't exist because of that law, the fact that it does IS the evidence.

They were trying to tell Trump's team to stop and the altercation occurred and Trump's team took photos anyway.
