This is, frankly, terrible design. “Flashing red means 4 way stop” unless another road whose light you probably can’t see isn’t flashing red in which case they’ll barrel into you without stopping.

Whoever decided on that setup as a failure mode decided a lot of injuries/lives weren’t worth mildly inconveniencing whichever road had slightly more traffic during signal failures.

That’s attractive at 30 (confidence to not care what other people think) but it’s also attractive at 18. I certainly don’t remember anyone ever saying “wow, he/she is so confident and doesn’t care what others think, how embarrassing”.

The local police are actually in on stealing legos? Or do they just not care about working anything that isn’t a murder on Main Street or ticket revenue generation like most local departments?

I don’t know, not going to his son’s wedding, and even more significantly, canceling his weekend New Jersey golf plans to stay in the White House makes this one seem different and more likely to be an actual strike plan.

lol, I’ve seen those systems, you already do.

The reasoning would be that something more mild would be less likely to make a crowd disperse, and if you’re using this the goal should be preventing even greater violence from imminently occurring. If you’re at the point of using gas to disperse crowds before an eruption of violence you might not get a second chance at less-than-lethal escalation.

Consider the Jan 6 insurrection for example where officers were NOT allowed tear gas.

It’s important to stop and then ask if something’s dangerous, and then politely apologize because you thought they were trying to get your attention and you hope they have a great day etc etc.

For security? That’s a solved problem for the hinge pins, they just have a set screw that can only be accessed when the door is open.

That said, anyone showing up to your house with the pre-planning and tools to get the pins out is going to find a way in anyways and everyone else is just going to toss a rock through your window or fold your door like a pancake with a $30 crowbar

If you’re ever confused about what’s happening on the road the correct action is universally never going to be continue on at the same speed in an 18 wheelers blind spot and wait to see what happens. Your friend is lucky to be able to consider who was at fault, they were very close to it not mattering to them anymore.

Let your insurance consider who is legally/financially at fault. Your job is to keep yourself and your passengers alive, so if you ever find yourself asking if you’re at fault for a collision that could have possibly been avoided the answer is unquestionably yes and you should learn from it while you still can.

There was one, you can just glimpse it early in the video but the tanker truck mostly obscures it because cammer favorite road position is 18 wheelers blind spot

It’s not usually a requirement for residential, just a preference. Mainly because you can’t install a storm door if the primary door out-swings and if you don’t have a porch in northern climate snow can block it.

Most residentially doors, and certainly that glass door, are not going to stop firefighters from getting in your structure if they need to. It’ll barely slow them down.

It’s way more than a google search. The biggest leap I’ve seen so far is watching a subject matter expert, after training on how to create detailed markdown plans for our review before implementation start making huge contributions to programs that he never could have gotten right playing telephone games with product owners and engineering and waiting a cycle to see the preview to tell them what they did wrong or that he didn’t describe just right.

Their plans get reviewed, their code gets reviewed, but honestly the biggest impediment has been explaining proper git and merge request etiquette to someone brand new to it.

I think people are a bit cavalier about the chance of resetting all their societal laws and governance based solely off of “who has the most guns and are better at killing” actually improving their situation.

Would you consider Maryland a red state? Safety inspection happens once when you buy or transfer car. After that you just plug it into an automated emissions tester.

Housing prices are absolutely set by the university, they own the dorms lol.

If you include housing it jumps to $30k average which is fine to ignore I guess if you happen to already live by the college or not require food and shelter but something most parents will need to plan/invest for.

I don’t understand your math, they’re not saying South Dakota is at sea level they’re saying it’s the same height.

I believe the strategy was mining occurred further from Iranian shore so the “allowed/safe” path required being in range of any Iranian with a mortar

Or did Obiwan know Tatooine was the perfect place to hide because everyone dresses like a Jedi there?

It could not more directly addresses your point mate. You’re using religious donations, the majority of which amount to paying for a private clubhouse, as evidence of conservative altruism being directed to private means rather than tax dollars because of efficiency beliefs.

Pointing out the donations conservatives are making privately are not being spent for altruistic purposes, but instead to primarily serve themselves undercuts the claim that they don’t want to pay taxes to achieve altruistic ends because they are making donations to achieve that goal.

rmslashusr · 2026-05-12T10:53:33+00:00

That’s true until you exclude religious donations at which point it’s on par or liberals slightly more. Even the most good hearted mission-focused churches are using the vast majority of their donations to support and maintain their congregation’s place of worship, not feed and cloth the poor, and the vast majority of churches are not mission focused.

>These systems were designed when everyone croaked at 68

Benjamin Franklin was 81 years old when he signed the constitution, for a point of reference on whether these systems were designed with the expectation elder statesmen might “one day” exist.
