  • 😑 and it only applies to people, right? Not estates?

  • I have always assumed I get these due to some activist work I did 10+ years ago, but it seems particularly bad this cycle.

  • While I have no answers, this is exactly what we should expect when business owners control media.

  • I am surprised also, the only person I know that uses one is an old cowboy that got hit by a truck 45 years ago and has mobility issues. He has a long wooden one, possibly designed for riding boots.

  • Agreed, mainly speculatory. So is this 🙂

    I would expect the interpreters to be North Korean military people who are fluent in Russian. They can understand the order and then dictate it in a culturally appropriate manner. But this is Russia and DPRK, so they probably aren't worried about that. I would also expect that the soldiers, are reporting to a normal unit commander for the same reason.

    Like your final question mentions, at the end of the day, we dont really know what role they will fulfill. It could be logistical. It could be meat grinder.

  • I have a picture but it's pretty grainy.

  • This is an interesting question. It is possible that they train with interpreters in mind.

  • The first version (or I guess second? It's called V2) has been available on google play for many years as mentioned by @Jrockwar@feddit.uk but isn't updated anymore. I have a Pixel 3a so still use it but this new one is not the first release or anything.

  • We saw this after 9/11 in the US. Most folks don't care about issues, only about looking as if they do. It isn't anything new, just continued consumerism to represent the politics people want to wear on their sleeve.

  • Good. There is scarcely any reason to change rules late in the game. To do so serves only one purpose, and it isn't honest.

  • When I worked for Walmart 25 or so years ago, they supposedly had something like this, but it manifested as us worrying about getting in trouble. Not sure if that was legit but I was pretty young and didn't interact with them.

    The waffle house I ate at, they did have higher ups come in, and they had to serve and what not. The folks working there seemed to like it but idk I just was a regular, never officially worked.

  • I get it not everyone has the ... experience

    This is really what it boils down to. I never had this issue as a mechanic, but I didn't generally use pinch welds as a jack point. Most vehicles have numerous options for using a floor jack. You could use a control arm, or cross member, or sometimes a drivetrain component. Additionally, sometimes the pinch weld has a designated spot for jacking that seems to be reinforced.

    Maybe what you are saying only applies to newer vehicles and I am out of date. Totally possible! I did not experience this 10+ years ago, tho. Only on exceptionally rusty cars that the driver would be challenged to install thr spare on the side of the road.

  • I read a different article, but my suspicion is that they expect more clarity to come out of further lower court action. I still think they will block it, but maybe they dont see any impact on the election or critical importance now forcing them to act. I'm not sure. I doubt they care about grandkids but am sure you know that 🙂

  • I'm not sure if it applies to journalism, but when I do things like write reports about medicals I was involved in, I write like that. Usually because that person goes on to definitive care and I don't know how they fared. Patient was found in this location, services were called, patient was transported to hospital. It feels robotic, but idk how best to handle it.

  • I dont like that voting third party in the US is essentially a non-vote for a party in the "system," but it is. I voted green party in the past, and ended up regretting it. And relavent to Stein, not a good person, or even party, to vote for now. Folks need to be active, and vote down ballot, and in "off cycle" years. Change takes time, the best way to be heard is through the down ballot when helpful.

  • I'll admit that I dont understand the now long running deal with speed running things like this, but if done safely and respectfully, I also dont see the harm. What is important is impact to the resource, and that is the main issue. That transcends folks like this. If she can pass that ethic along with this record, I'm for it.

  • It's a major world city with a history of corruption. All of this is big. There may even be others involved we don't know about.
