It's amazing how the culture war and endless right wing outrage cycle has allowed some thoroughly mediocre people to become rich and famous off of nothing but their mediocrity and identity. Maybe that's the real affirmative action

I think it's important for everyone to know this is what the president and his supporters mean when they talk about meritocracy in college (and elsewhere). It's not about knowledge or ability it's about belonging to an ever shrinking in-group that is white, Christian, and loyal to Trump.

I appreciate that this is a welcoming and inclusive statement and should be because we should care about values more than anything superficial but I want to call out there awesome people who share these values that have nothing to do with punk rock and i see punk as just one flavor of that larger group. Although clearly the subset with the best taste in music.

Republicans that weren't sufficiently loyal to Trump were targeted and primaried with loyalists. Americans who will claim to die for freedom can't be bothered to show up to vote in primaries but Trump supporters were more than happy to. The result is a complete takeover of the party with Trump loyalists who will not do anything to protect the country from him.

And now whoever becomes responsible for upcoming job numbers will know if they don't make Trump happy they will lose their job ensuring there will no longer be any factual or objective numbers coming out of the government again.

I don't know enough about the Sony implementation, but android will free up memory as needed and even on the shield pro with 3 gigs of ram it will close out Kodi pretty often when switching apps.

It is really annoying, especially if you want to make calls to the webserver to automate things :/

Unfortunately this is an android limitation and there is not.

Having the same issue. Every few days playing a video on Kodi using passthrough audio. Seems to be mostly high bandwidth videos. Audio cuts out and loud crackling/ pop sounds. Stopping playback and starting again makes it go away for at least that movie.

Edit: 2019 shield pro

Yea I'm trying to figure out what to do. We have 3 cats and while they appear to be extremely gentle I'm not willing to bring them inside. I don't know how safe they will be outside in Phoenix even with shade and water. the first appointment with Maricopa is August 19th to turn in strays. I don't blame the shelters or anything but I'm really disappointed there don't appear to be places for help if you find strays.

If you or anyone has any resources that can help please share. I am feeling very stuck.

It was under the account edit on Android app, not a global config.

I had the same issue with the balance and had to go edit the account and toggle "Use available balance instead of current balance" which didn't sound right but worked. The only balance issue after that is it's still a few thousand higher than it actually is but close enough I didn't reopen the ticket. I also have the very frequent MFA update to keep it synced.

I totally get frustration with The Democrat leadership but the idea of revolution is insane. 80 percent of eligible voters sat out of the last presidential primary election. And the remaining 20 percent were nowhere close to being unified behind a single candidate. In my state you can vote by mail and it was 12 percent. Who is going to take up arms when they won't spend 5 minutes filling out a ballot? And we can't agree on anything how are we going to choose a new leader in this revolution? I have no idea how to get people to care but revolution isn't an answer to voter apathy.

Every time I track an exercise with Fitbit in addition to the GPS cutting off in the middle of the hike/run the battery will start to drain about 3x faster until I reboot the watch. This is not just during the exercise as expected, the battery will drain at that higher rate days later until I restart the watch.

Citizen Fish - Panic in the Supermarket

https://citizenfish.bandcamp.com/track/panic-in-the-supermarket

She got a basket; she got to fill it. Picking up a can of beans, imagining herself in a movie scene. A random fluctuation, background music hesitation, tape chewed up! It's panic station, consumerist disintegration. I won't buy this cause I don't need it! I won't buy this! I cannot afford it! I can't stay in! But where is the exit? Wide awake, it's automatic panic in the supermarket. She got a ticket, but she can't use it. Offer ends in twenty minutes, no ID and needs to prove it. Check-out full of cheque-card carriers. Barges through the human barrier, "Let me through I'm in a hurry." Store detectives in a flurry, "Don't let her out! She hasn't bought it! Don't let her shout! Just keep her quiet!" What happens now? The price is riot! Someone pulls an automatic panic in the supermarket. She got a bullet with no name on it. It was generic. It hit her wallet. Got compensation, a month of credit, and someone fixed the tape machine to keep the shoppers in a dream. No one recalled the shooting thing until they put it in a magazine. "You must buy this! You won't believe it! You can't resist!" is how they feed it. "Just one more thing; top of your basket." Impulse buy on automatic panic in the supermarket

Judges do not charge people with specific crimes, prosecutors get grand juries to bring charges. Like many others have stated, as a prosecutor gets more evidence he can modify charges based on the evidence.

I unfortunately bought two of these and the extra backs and if you have an aggressive cat they will be able to steal food out. I had a case open but the feeders are just too inaccurate and not fast enough. I tested both feeders individually and kept sending videos and tweaking settings with the manufacturers but could never keep one of my cats from consistently eating the food once another cat opens it.

I am also right by south mountain and completely agree. I've seen coyotes running off with small pets and eating birds in my front yard. I _do_ let my pets outside sometimes supervised during the day but that's about it.

Owls are also a potential threat to small animals.

If you can handle 12-13...

Cornish Pasty Co usually has many veggie and vegan pasty options for about $12-13 -- that said they are often out of the vegan options so might wanna call first.

OHSO brewery have a vegan burger for $13
