People in cities should not use guns for self protection, but should also not rely on the police. Instead, less lethal options should be used for self defense like pepper spray, lasers, or maybe rubber bullets. In the vast majority of cases, densely populated areas will have other people close enough that resisting will discourage continued violence if a commotion is started, just because of possible witnesses.

In rural areas people choosing to use guns they have for hunting for the occasional threat is fine because distances are much further and there is nobody nearby to come and scare off someone by being a witness.

The settings are different and have different needs.

As far abolishing the police, the idea is that the current antagonistic police forces are so broken and do so many things that they need to be replaced with something else. Traffic enforcement shouldn't be the same force that deescalates violent situations which shouldn't be the same force that responds to people in distress. Having the same people respond to all situations where there is a tiny possibility of violence after being taught to treat everyone as a threat is why we get police rolling up and shooting people in mental crisis, breaking into people's homes and shooting dogs over some weed, and shooting drivers who are trying to comply with their confusingly shouted 'instructions'.

What about hunting?

If one has to pay for it then it isn't a right.

Driving a car is a privilege.

The sandwiches were sooooo good.

The parent company screwed over the franchises by bleeding them dry.

Nike is one of the worst offenders when it comes to unchecked capitalism.

Yes, if they have already figured out how to handle bullies in grade school/middle school. Early grade school there was a bully who picked on me and my older brother helped out. By grade five I was the one helping other kids who were being bullied.

A lot of credit goes to youth groups like 4-H for helping to build self confidence and how to care for others. May have been lucky getting a solid local group though.

Regret forms stones in the kidneys

That works for small cars with hoods that slope to the ground like sedans and station wagons. It is outdated and useless advice for anyone in an SUV, pickup, or the vast majority of vehicles on the road today in the US.

It should be far enough back to be able to turn and move out if the car in front of you stalls, which should be easy to estimate for anyone who can parallel park.

Everyone should be able to parallel park, it is part of the driving test.

Legally defined as secure, not actually secure.

They are fairly insecure in practice, since they are throwing the data at misdialed numbers and they are frequently placed in shared and insecure locations in the building where lots of people can access whatever comes through.

I figure when a mod does it the feeling is like huffing one's own farts.

Things that are inspiration or for approximations. Layout examples, possible correlations between data sets that need coincidence to be filtered out, estimating time lines, and basically anything that is close enough for a human to take the output and then do something with it.

For example, if you put in a list of ingredients it can spit out recipes that may or may not be what you want, but it can be an inspiration. Taking the output and cooking without any review and consideration would be risky.

Sometimes it is a bunch of Indian guys pretending to be AI!

Curses!

Being Jack Dorsey, I'm going with the latter.

Could be a sconce instead of a weirdly placed handle.

I think it is the bottom of the top of the stairs because of the lighting to the bottom left of the mattress. That should be in shadow from the mattress if it was at the bottom of the stairs.

Going back in time creates the butterfly effect mechanics!

My speculation is that some biological trait improved enough for life to try out all kinds of new things. Maybe a cellular function improved and a little ecological pressure resulted in many different kinds of viable body shapes and behaviors being feasible.

So nothing visible without a lot of scientific instruments and a solid plan for testing.

Like, how do you measure management as a product?

Define their responsibilities is a first step. In addition I just to clearly defined tasks, survey the people they manage to get an idea of how well they are doing with guided questions like whether they are taking care ofnobstacles and increasing communication efficiently like making good calls on what should be an email vs what should be a prodictive meeting.

It can be hard to measure, but so is any position with complex goals that require other people to do their job too.

It isn't a bad value if you watch it regularly.

They do cycle in good movies, but they aren't always up front and noticeable. Every service has a massive amount of trash and crappy interfaces for discovering stuff.
