Kevlar isn't magic. For a pistol round, it might absorb a bunch of the energy, but it's still like getting kicked in the chest by a horse. And that's only for one. Or, if they're ceramic plates, they become much less effective after the first impact.

And that's for a pistol. Consider if they come to the wrong house and the person at the door has a shotgun.

Interactiviry seems to be a good thing. What brings you to participate here on Lemmy?

The other country has to be willing to receive them. In this case, the US would probably not.

But countries like El Salvador are being paid by the US to take these people, so they don't really care about the facts, they just want the money.

Police shouldn't be allowed to hide their identities. They are supposed to be accountable to the public.

Otherwise I'm pretty meh on masks. Neo-nazis might wear them, but then so do Antifa. It's for the same reason, so I'm hesitant to condemn one group for doing it and praising the other. (Neo-nazis should be condemned just for being Nazis anyway.)

Or does cough medicine taste like artificial cherry?

Remember when he put riot police in DC during his last term? That's where he pulled them from.

Yeah that's a bunch of red flags right off the bat.

Isn't X effectively dead anyway, and most people moving to Wayland?

If you can root your phone and use an xposed module, maybe. Or the EU forces them. Otherwise, there's not much option.

Maybe for the Singapore thing. For the play integrity thing, it applies to apps from anywhere except the play store directly. I use Aurora to install apps that say "not compatible with your device" for no reason. But a week or two ago ago, they started blocking access and saying I needed to install from the play store.

Fortunately I was able to downgrade and they kept working, but I don't know how long that will last. At some point the server side will change the API.

It probably gives some useful info. What does it say? Also, what changed between now and the last time it worked?

That's the goal!

Change your withholding, then only pay state tax.

For http(s), yes. Other services that don't support host routing, which is most of them, no.

Investigations can take a long time. You can invoke your right to a speedy trial, but often that means you can't mount a comprehensive defense either.

Right. That's the default position.

It's North Korea. It's absolutely not nearly as advanced as they claim it to be.

This would be better implemented as a function in Lemmy itself. A bot shouldn't have the level of access necessary to do this.

Because the designers and marketers were given priority over the safety engineers.

Agreed. Are they turning, or just braking periodically with a taillight out? Who knows!

I also love the front turn signals that turn off that headlight. Dumb as hell for everyone.

Also, animated signals should be banned. On or off, no flashing, glowing, or sliding.

Because it wasn't blindingly obvious? I don't know how tall the truck in front of me is, and since I don't drive tall vehicles I know even less about the heights of bridges. Usually commercial drivers are the better ones.
