I fucking love imitation crab, so fun to peel apart and eat like string cheese.

These paragraphs are in this order. I’m noticing a ton of repetition of details in news articles lately, like they aren’t even bothering with editors anymore.

Shaikh said Sakeik was just 8 years old when her family arrived in the U.S. on a visa. Although their asylum request was denied, her lack of citizenship meant the government couldn’t deport them. Instead, they were placed under an order of supervision and required to check in with immigration authorities once a year.

Sakeik was just 8 when her family arrived in America on a visa, her husband told the outlet.

Terrible name for a terrible design. Yoke style steering wheels are not safe for cars because they create awkward handholds as they rotate.

Yoke style works in planes and race cars where they aren’t rotated 360+ degrees regularly, rarely over 90 degrees either direction.

Motherfucker loves trying to reinvent the wheel only to end up at the goddamn wheel.

A shittier version of the wheel.

I’m sure the racist ghouls around him were complaining about Juneteenth.

When used as a defense against violence or other severely harmful actions, yes.

The threat needs to either be imminent or an ongoing perpetuation of violence or other severely harmful action. An example of an ongoing severely harmful action would include being restrained physically or geographically and being starved.

Second, although Democrats developed grander ambitions for social spending over the past decade, they simultaneously grew more averse to raising taxes on anyone but the super-rich. In the 2010s, when inflation and interest rates were persistently low, the party could paper over this tension with deficit spending. But Biden-era inflation revealed the limits of this strategy.

That is because the majority of taxes cuts for decades have gone to the wealthy. Dems are half assed trying to claw back just a portion of what taxes have been lost from the people who can afford them. Taxes are already disproportionately collected from everyone else.

Much of the reason why the models fail at the given problem in the paper is not because they can’t solve it, but because they can’t express their answers in the specific format the authors chose to require.

Oh fuck off.

This is why I like James Gunn

Also, a lot of people, I’m sure, are blowing you up on social media, probably in person too, about the state of The Batman Part II.

Listen, we’re supposed to get a script in June. I hope that happens. We feel really good about it. Matt’s excited. I talk to Matt all the time. I’m totally excited about it. So we can’t wait to read the scripts, but we haven’t read it yet, if that’s your question. People should get off Matt’s nuts because it’s like, let the guy write the screenplay in the amount of time he needs to write it. That’s just the way it is. He doesn’t owe you something because you like his movie. I mean, you like his movie because of Matt. So let Matt do things the way he does.

He does things right and he has a goal of making good movies and not just pumping out stuff to make money and throughout the article he talks people up. So glad he is heading the DCU now.

“He has experience so we can trust him!”

No, they have profile pics of tentacle monsters.

politically favored medical procedures

Fuck this judge, hope they get the most painful cancer.

First of all, I already said they shouldn’t be used for daily commuters and I hope there aren’t a bunch of children on a job site.

Second, the hood design is separate from the purpose of the vehicle. They could put sloped hoods on F350s, and they have had sloped hoods on comparable pickups in the past. That is a separate and valid design issue.

Third, your van without an enclosure IS THE SAME THING with a different cab and hood design. That is a FLATBED PICKUP TRUCK with a better hood design. What you should be arguing for is the DESIGN instead of just trashing the concept of the type of vehicle existing in the first place.

All of the serial killers whose backstory I remember suffered abuse as children, frequently from parents. The ones who murdered women were abused by their mothers.

Lead and other contaminants are likely a contributing factor in causing cognitive issues that lead to less inhibition and projecting their anger onto others that represent the target of their rage. But without the abuse there wouldn’t be a trigger for their unregulated anger.

A van is an enclosed pickup truck.

Ah yes, two trailers of hay bales is the exact same thing as one trailer!

Why move hay long distances? Well, in rural areas of the US moving hay 200+ miles in open states like Montana or Kansas isn’t really moving it that far and they don’t necessarily grow hay everywhere. Different crops are clustered in different areas because of growing conditions. I don’t think you grasp the scale of plains in the middle of the US.

Look, the US has a lot of open space OUTSIDE OF CITIES where loads less than commercial cargo need to be moved around at highway speeds (75 mph/120kph) for longer distances. Tractors do NOT meet that need, they aren’t fast enough. Large cargo hauling cabs are overkill.

Construction jobs often needs to move around very heavy, but not massively large construction equipment for which heavy cargo haulers would be overkill.

Again, these ‘oversized’ trucks are actually oversized for commuting and light duty use but are appropriately sized for a ton of purposes that fit between a lawn mower business and building a skyscraper. They are being used in the wrong contexts which makes them a problem. Most of Europe is the wrong context in the same way that most US cities are the wrong context unless they are going to or returning from a job site with a load that probably includes a trailer’s worth of materials and equipment.

Demonize them for being used in the wrong context. That doesn’t mean they don’t have a reason to exist in the first place because of some other options that don’t fit the same need.

Based on videos of how they do arrests, when ICE touches someone as part of an arrest they count is as assault on ICE. Like the politicians who are being charged with assault because ICE shoved them to the ground.

However, the non-street legal status of the bikes in the US means that sales could be hindered, unlike in Europe where the XB and XE models are homologated for use on public roads.

That is disappointing, although I wonder if that restriction applies to places where scooters and bicycles are permitted. It seems like it would fit right in with scooters, but with better handling of crappy roads.

Maybe the lack of lights is the issue, not the form factor.

Cold water going by in close proximity will probably result in some splashing on you, plus the movement of cold air in close proximity is going to suck away some heat too.

It is kind of refreshing in the summer, but very different if it is chilly in the bathroom. Plus you can keep your PJs/robe/a towel on you to keep warm outside the shower while the water is warming up.

If you do water somersaults you have to push harder when upside down since the air escapes!
