Right. Heck, why are we even spending the money for the cameras? Our phones can do the job. They can easily tell when we are exceeding the speed limit. They can just transmit that data to the police.

@mik said in Proud Horse Moment: That’s a big fucking horse. Not really. He is big-barreled, but not tall. About 15 ½ hands.

@lufins-dad said in $10,000 cab ride: Decades ago I had just started a new job and was basically living hand to mouth. I got my first paycheck and it was drawn on Bank of America. I needed that money just for gas to get home, so I went into the BoA to cash the check. They wouldn’t do it unless I had a Bank of America checking account. Spent 15 minutes arguing with the manager about it. So I opened the account by depositing the check. It took 20 minutes of paperwork. They cleared 20% for cash and brought it over to me. The manager smiled and said “There, that wasn’t that bad…” I smiled and said “Not bad at all… Now who do I see about closing the account?” After they gave me my money, I smiled at the manager and said “There, that wasn’t that bad…” I have never stepped foot in a BoA since. What made you choose to undergo that process at a BoA rather than going to another bank and try your luck there? Was BoA your only option at the time?

You could say something like, "Nice car. I've always wanted..." Background check? And lock up the valuables...

@jolly Judge Carl Nichols QUOTE Nichols was mentioned as a potential judicial nominee in March 2018.[2] On June 7, 2018, President Donald Trump announced his intent to nominate Nichols to serve as a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.[4] On June 18, 2018, his nomination was sent to the Senate. President Trump nominated Nichols to the seat vacated by Richard W. Roberts, who took senior status on March 16, 2016.[5] On August 22, 2018, a hearing on his nomination was held before the Senate Judiciary Committee.[6] On October 11, 2018, his nomination was reported out of committee by an 11–10 vote.[7] On January 3, 2019, his nomination was returned to the President under Rule XXXI, Paragraph 6 of the United States Senate. On January 23, 2019, President Trump announced his intent to renominate Nichols for the same federal judgeship.[8] His nomination was sent to the Senate later that day.[9] On February 7, 2019, his nomination was reported out of committee by a 12–10 vote.[10] On May 22, 2019, his nomination was confirmed by a vote of 55–43.[11] He received his judicial commission on June 25, 2019. UNQUOTE In addition, just a couple of days ago, the "U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on Wednesday upheld a lower court judge’s decision to order Lang’s continued detention" (https://www.timesunion.com/hudsonvalley/news/article/Capital-riot-defendant-denied-appeal-for-release-16773226.php?IPID=Times-Union-HP-CP-Latest-News) So, just maybe, this guy did some really bad things, and multiple judges from both sides of the politics area agree he should be kept in jail.

Ms. Babbit was a US citizen, technically an owner of this house.

@larry said in They ain't making any more land.: In the philippines, it is against the law for a foreigner to own land. Same in Thailand. But even there, a foreigner cannot even own the building on land or cannot even own a condo. You have to purchase a 99 year lease for a condo, and I do not think this is even possible to do with freestanding houses. I think we talked about this previously, but I believe that the largest individual owning farmland in the US is Bill Gates.

The real All-Pro list was published today. https://www.nfl.com/news/2021-all-pro-team-jonathan-taylor-t-j-watt-cooper-kupp-highlight-roster Joe Burrow didn't make it, but TJ was a unanimous pick.

Sounds like quite the yarn, though it is highly unlikely I’ll bother to read the storybook.

I think he'd maybe have been better off looking at sci-fi literature rather than movies for disturbing and prescient predictions. We all know we're all heading towards a cyberpunk reality.

Yeah. But I can’t imagine the town being supportive of CRT-infused ideas in school. Probably just a vocal and intimidating minority like in so many other institutions.

@klaus said in The Potato Paradox: Therefore, the wager is to my advantage. George can consider the wager in exactly the same way; thus, paradoxically, both have the advantage in the bet. Or do they not? It probably depends on how well they know each other's wives.
