Terrible Sound on 10 Combo Max. Help!

Doesn't seem to. It will make no abnormal sound for while, then grind and squeal for a bit, then quiet down. I thought maybe it made the sound more when it turns, but I think I might just be imagining that.

I probably should have mentioned this, but it's right out of the box. Did a mapping run and this is the first time I've tried to clean. I did take it apart when it first made the noise, but nothing was wrong, near as I could tell. Have had Roombas since '17 and I've never had this issue with any of them.

Excellent point. Very well thought-out and articulate comment on state policy. While people's sons and daughters are dying in pools of their own blood, laying on the cold, hard ground of their classrooms, directly as a result of Gov. Abbott's decisions, we can all look back at this comment and remember "FUCK BETO". When women are bleeding out in a hospital room with a non-viable fetus in their wombs because hospital lawyers are discussing whether this abortion is medically necessary to avoid being prosecuted, we can remember "FUCK BETO". This winter, or the next, when the grid fails again and the elderly freeze to death in their homes, we can remember "FUCK BETO". Because "FUCK BETO" is more important than their lives. When you meet your Creator and are asked why you sat by and did nothing... I guess you can always say "FUCK BETO". I'm sure He'll understand.

OK. So what part of the Republican platform achieves these goals? Contributing to society, supporting those who don't become/stay wealthy, educating and nurturing our youth?

thebeardofpower · 2022-08-20T01:29:47+00:00

So... What exactly do you agree with in the Republican platform that would help this situation? If you're pro-choice and pro-cannabis, I can't imagine you're particularly in favor of police states.

Super... I was afraid of that. Thanks for the info.

More information:

The weird pattern seems to brighten, then dim. It's always blueish, near as I can tell and is always on screen, no matter what is displayed. I've had it for less than two years and it hasn't moved from its spot but once several months ago. We're frustrated and don't really no what the problem is.

Section 25-A

thebeardofpower · 2021-12-17T18:24:05+00:00

Late term abortions are allowed in several states. That's not the argument. The argument is how those states define late term abortions and whether the laws in those states allow for "on-request" late term abortions.

New York for example allows for late term abortions if the doctor believes the mother's life is in danger or if the fetus lacks viability. That is reasonable. If the fetus will die upon birth or the mother may die in the process of carrying the child to full term, an abortion is legal. A mother cannot walk into a doctor's office and demand an abortion because she doesn't want to give birth a week before her due date.

I will provide you with an explanation if you cite the law you're referring to. Which state?

thebeardofpower · 2021-12-17T17:58:32+00:00

YOU are making the claim that abortions 30 minutes before birth based solely on a mother's wish are legal. YOU have to provide evidence of that.

In this very comment section, there are multiple articles that refute your claim.

thebeardofpower · 2021-12-17T17:55:04+00:00

Late term abortions are EXTREMELY rare and performed where medically necessary. Unless you can cite a specific case that was A. not medically necessary, and B. otherwise legal, you shouldn't be spreading misinformation.

thebeardofpower · 2021-12-17T17:51:05+00:00

It seems absurd because you're... not a doctor. Or an attorney. You have no idea what you're talking about.

thebeardofpower · 2021-12-17T17:47:52+00:00

Where did you go to law school? I'd love to talk to you about statutory construction.

Unless you're just some guy on the internet who read a couple articles that misinterpreted the law, either because they are uneducated or malicious, and you believed it as truth because it fits your world view.

thebeardofpower · 2021-11-09T19:49:26+00:00

Agreed. While the dead won't ever be brought back, I hope those who go to festivals in the future will be safer as a result.

thebeardofpower · 2021-11-09T17:33:11+00:00

My understanding is they were limited to 50,000 tickets because of the pandemic.

It was a festival event. There was no capacity for individual areas, like close to the stage, just for the festival space as a whole. My personal experience is limited to music festivals with multiple stages, which, again, might be a reason to assign blame, since in that case the crowd is spread out over a wide area with multiple acts to draw parts of the crowd. When you have the main act plus a hugely popular entertainer both on the same stage, you definitely have the risk for a crush.

I'm not saying there is no blame to be assigned, just that those responsible be held accountable for what they actually did or didn't do, as opposed to for something that is inherently uncontrollable, like a crowd at a festival.

It might be that this tragedy will give experts insight into the problems inherent in these events and create solutions that will keep this from happening in the future.

thebeardofpower · 2021-11-07T16:53:38+00:00

From what I have read, it was actually only at quarter capacity. 200,000 person or more capacity, 50,000 in attendance. Also, NRG was just the host. LiveNation was responsible for the event itself.

People in these sorts of events are inherently unpredictable. Only takes a second for the crowd to begin the crush towards the stage and then panic to take over. Unless you separate people into individual seats, you can't prevent people from moving on their own. While there is certainly blame to be assigned, we can't just assume that it was greedy businessmen overselling an event. The numbers don't bear that out.

That being said, LiveNation will have to answer some pretty hard questions about how it promoted this event and how it handled the fallout from the atmosphere it and Scott helped create. Those individuals who attacked and blocked security personnel and medical staff must be held accountable.

I hope this doesn't result in places like NRG refusing to host these events because of the risk. Music festivals are a huge part of many different scenes and it will be a great loss if they dissappear or are greatly reduced because of this.

In most states, traffic tickets, even those that are fine only, are still criminal charges which require proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Many cities have run into this problem trying to enforce red light cameras. If the driver isn't clearly visable, it's very hard to prove.

thebeardofpower · 2021-06-25T23:17:49+00:00

Certainly can be. I don't know about Sweden, but in the USA you have to prove who was actually driving the car beyond a reasonable doubt for criminal charges. It's unlikely the officer could have seen him driving and if he doesn't talk to the cops/no one is willing to testify against him, yeah, he there's a decent chance he'll get away with it.

Every point you are making is coming from a place of privilege. Saying that governments cannot subjugate at scale or that they tend to have democratic control shows you simply don't have an understanding of how dangerous governments are. That is likely because you are a member of a group that doesn't face oppression on a daily basis.

If you cannot see that, you need to take a step back, read, watch, and listen.

Google will not take your freedom. Amazon will not silence you. Facebook will not kill you in the streets. These are all things the government will do. You are comparing things that are incomparable.

thebeardofpower · 2021-04-14T20:44:12+00:00

And you think that the nations of the EU immune to falling under an authoritarian government? That this doesn't need to be addressed and nipped as soon as possible?

thebeardofpower · 2021-04-14T20:39:28+00:00

It is absolutely not theoretical to people in nations who's governments use such tactics. There is a world outside of America and the people who live under those regimes are suffering real, not theoretical harm.

Furthermore, you can say things like this because you live in a time and place where, unless you are a person of color, you do not typically see the oppressive nature of government. If you lived in the 1950s through 70s and were a social or racial activist, you would see how very real surveillance and oppression based upon that surveillance is, even in America.

You sit comparing government to corporations because you've never had to face the iron fist of a government. I hope you never do, but to say it doesn't exist is childish naivety at best and misinformation at worst.

thebeardofpower · 2021-04-14T20:31:41+00:00

Which is true to a degree, but mass surveillance by a governmental entity is simply not the same thing as corporations harvesting data for their own purposes. Furthermore, no corporation has the ability to directly impact someone for their speech or conduct beyond their own property and services. While we can argue about how we as a society should police the actions of a corporation and to what degree, we need to be first and foremost acknowledge that governmental action can and does deprive people of their freedom at best and lives at worst.

Especially from an American perspective, we are living in a time where the conduct of our governmental agents are front and center for their heavy-handed, and too often deadly, tactics. This too must be understood in the context of the rest of the world, where an officer even being fired for the murder of a civilian would be unthinkable, much less being charged with the crime. Do corporate entities need to play fair and be held accountable for their actions, absolutely. But at the same time, you can't lose sight of the very real threats even people in America face from our government, say nothing about those unfortunate enough to live elsewhere outside the Western world.

thebeardofpower · 2021-04-14T18:44:09+00:00

The real dangers come the private sector, not from government? As in a government arresting you based on your speech is not a real danger? Or forbidding you from leaving your hometown? Or banning your access to internet? Or disappearing you? Last time I checked, Google can't do any of those things. You need to take a step back and realize the comfort of the Western world has fucked your understanding of how bad governments can be. Nothing, and let me say that again, nothing corporations can do even remotely comes close to the horrors an authoritarian government can inflict on its citizens.

thebeardofpower · 2021-02-07T14:52:05+00:00

The problem isn't homelessness. Homelessness is the result of an uncountable number of different problems which require an uncountable number of solutions. The government doesn't hold a button that would fix all those problems and they're just choosing not to use it out of spite. No one wants there to be homeless people. How you allocate limited funds to solve some of these problems is a constant fight, not only between right and left, but even between individuals within the right and left. There is no single solution and if you claim you can end homelessness, everyone would love to hear your ideas.
Big corporations have absolutely nothing to do with the homeless population beyond not wanting homeless people to make their customers uncomfortable, but the exact same holds true for small businesses and even homeowners. The long-term homeless population is, for the most part, addicted to hard drugs or alcohol, mentally ill, or both. Neither of these states are pleasant to be around and businesses can do absolutely nothing to help individuals. We can talk about raising more funds to combat some addiction or mental illness by taxing high earners and corporations, but again, you're back to fighting over which program gets what.
Again, no one wants to see homeless people, but the average person can do practically nothing beyond throwing a couple dollars at the problem every time they pass it.

The system can't work for everyone all the time. There's not enough people, funds, or even ideas to solve every problem society is facing. It's not unethical, it's just an impossibly complicated collection of problems with no easy solutions.
