  • We have these in my area as well, though these stores are mostly considered vendors for poor folk.

    Funny enough, the upscale stores have tons of self-checkouts and fewer cashiers. It's as if bagging one's own groceries with a cashier is for unfortunates, but doing both jobs yourself is in fashion.

  • I can attest that the Osprey was considered a dangerous piece of shit aircraft among many Air Force members since back in the 90s. Over the years since hearing that talk the odd Osprey crash has hit the news here and there, and I'm thinking they were right.

  • When I was stationed in the UK, we were warned not to use private driveways to turn around our cars.

    They said the residents don't take kindly to having their driveways disturbed and might raise hell, chasing the car with whatever they could grab (allegedly this had happened many times).

  • So this fool compiled the report and submitted it to court. Then on cross examination, when asked to quote a line from his own report, he says "this is the first time I've seen this" to avoid perjury.

    Will that throw a wrench into the inevitable appeal?

  • Yes, and at times like these some military leaders tend to tell troops to "be financially ready" to go unpaid, and "there is no excuse for not paying your bills on time".

    Late and missed payments are sometimes reported to members' leadership by the debtors, especially landlords. Normally this isn't such a bad thing, since service members are expected to be on top of their debts at all times--but being punished for this when going unpaid is completely cruel.

  • Gerrymandering is a huge problem, but it's only part of the problem. Thanks to the Reapportionment Act of 1929 capping the number of US representatives at 435, votes have become weaker and weaker as the population grows. Moreso in densely populated states, obviously.

    So you have Wyoming with a single US Representative whose constituents effectively have more say in national policy than any other citizens.

    We must re-reapportion the House. This could reduce gerrymander cheating, and may even make additional parties viable. Our votes should carry equal weight.
