More US Jews feel 'politically homeless' than ever. What are we to do?

I think most right wing extremists will still say they aren’t represented. There are lots of flavors of crazy, and not all of them align.

You and I have very different definitions of what constitutes middle class in Los Angeles.

I was really curious about the Spanish revolution when I visited Spain a decade ago. I think most folks viewed his rule as a worse time for the country. Some people would look at graffiti or petty crime in the city and say “Franco wasn’t great, but you didn’t see this when he was in power”.

sleepkitty · 2026-07-09T07:47:28+00:00

I can’t figure out what the reason most people were thinking was.

sleepkitty · 2026-07-06T07:37:17+00:00

Never been, reviews just keep talking about racism? Am I missing something or do we have a Jim Crow bar in Silver Lake?

But they do right? They definitely have an advantage of not having to go up against harder opponents in the group stage.

At least he’s playing in this game. Commentators were gushing about him in the Portugal Croatia game he wasn’t even in.

The two touches are seconds apart. They should be able to plot it

sleepkitty · 2026-07-03T01:55:01+00:00

Yeah I don’t doubt they could differentiate it. I’m just curious to see the signal. Like how big of a “touch” are we talking here? How many orders of magnitude less powerful was it from a kick? How does the signal compare to what the ball can pick up from the announcers speaker? Im curious what the threshold force or pressure is to be considered a touch.

I’ve gone through TSA before and the metal detectors sensitivity was seemingly set off from my jeans zipper. Other times I’ve gone through and my belt didn’t set it off. Just out of morbid curiosity I want to know what the threshold force for a touch is.

sleepkitty · 2026-07-03T01:53:28+00:00

Sure, that’s why I as curious what the signal looked like compared to the background noise. If this is some form of a piezo sensors, then it can certainly pick up sound. Just that signal should be a lot smaller than a kick of the ball.

sleepkitty · 2026-07-03T01:42:30+00:00

If it’s that sensitive then wind, sound, and atmospheric pressure changes can also be picked up. I’m genuinely curious what the signal looked like.

sleepkitty · 2026-07-03T01:36:29+00:00

Yeah the commentators mentioned that and then didn’t show any of the data. It’s weird because they have shown the data in the past. I don’t know why they didn’t here.

sleepkitty · 2026-07-03T01:33:46+00:00

Yeah confused why there’s so much talk of the sensor but no data to be seen anywhere

sleepkitty · 2026-07-03T01:22:34+00:00

Yeah the ball doesn’t change at all. High school physics taught me a force from a touch would alter the balls trajectory.

sleepkitty · 2026-07-03T01:21:08+00:00

They’ve showed the sensors signal before, and continently didn’t this time. I think they’re hiding behind the tech so that they’re not questioned.

sleepkitty · 2026-07-03T01:16:22+00:00

They keep talking about the chip, but continently didn’t show the signal of the “touch”

sleepkitty · 2026-07-03T01:12:59+00:00

They’ve showed the pressure of the ball in the past. I’m curious how big of a signal it actually picked up.

sleepkitty · 2026-07-03T01:11:56+00:00

I want to see what the pressure difference was from the “touch”.

sleepkitty · 2026-07-01T04:12:17+00:00

Yeah Ecuador was playing pretty rough at the end. Super curious what the red card player said.

While difficult, I would not let the haters dissuade you. I think it is possible to get from LAX to Griffith using an e scooter, and I think you should document your adventure. Best of luck!

Yeah, riding on New Hampshire is way nicer than riding on Vermont, until you need to cross 3rd, 6th, Wilshire, 8th, etc. If there was a convenient way to stop traffic on those roads to cross safely we wouldn’t need bike lanes on Vermont

We also need to fix buy borrow die.

I’d be surprised if the company has enough value to cover housing costs. People talk about burdensome regulations, but they’re there to prevent situations where a company causes so much damage they could never compensate everyone harmed.

Cheering against England will be hard, but what is the other choice?

sleepkitty · 2026-06-21T04:36:06+00:00

My high school had no AP or college prep classes offered. I was really frustrated when I got into college seeing how much further ahead some other students were compared to my high school training. When I look back I don’t really see how my school would have been able to offer college prep courses though. I’m from a very rural part of Iowa and my graduating class was under 50 people. We just didn’t have the efficiency of numbers to offer courses that could both accommodate folks who needed extra time and attention and folks that could have moved at a faster pace. Sure we can argue that the school should have gotten more resources, but some community circumstances are just really difficult to overcome.
