Semi recently had mine try to take me through a private business parking lot which was entirely fenced off, and didn't even connect on the other side. That was... confusing, to say the least.
I've had controversial opinions about judges, cops, prosecutors, and etc, who are involved in particular egregious violations of their duties, do not deserve due process. They've clearly demonstrated they don't believe the system has value.
No it's like the nemesis system in the Lord of the rings games and everyone moves up one slot! /S
They tried to give him a government iPhone and he refused. He kept using his insecure device instead.
Give me my coal powered steam car, assholes!
Many people enjoy inserting and removing a their gun from a holster, however, it's important to remember that discharging your gun in the holster can have dire, life altering consequences.
Good bois and girls.
I was semi recently explaining to someone that monitors are basically small TV's, with more variety in sizes, form factors, and refresh rates.
So that we feel vindicated in actually owning your productive time. So that management can show they add value by watching you work.
I'm constantly preaching that "we don't work in a widget factory, there is only the work there is to do, and if it's all done, wtf are you complaining about? Asses in seats does not correlate to work completed. As long as we're available to complete tasks, you're getting what you're paying for."
Right? Shocker, I'm able to listen to a thing actively and vocally contribute while doing something mindless like doing/folding laundry or making food because they use different parts of my brain.
The meat mech is capable of doing something physical with no thought, while engaging language processing for something else.

This. I'm not actually opposed to the requirement for needing ID or proof of citizenship to vote. What I am opposed to is anything creating a barrier to voting that's more substantial than an extremely mild inconvenience like registering.
Imo we need a national ID system anyway, so we can stop using SSN data for that purpose because it's stupidly insecure. In the modern digital age it would be trivial to just assign a "user is licensed to drive x" flag in a digital database in your home state to your ID. Pair it with some kind of 2FA and switch government services to digital.
Easy, cheap to administer, make it free, and auto register people to vote when they turn 18. Have highschools participate in the ID issuing process, since that covers the vast majority of people.
My thought is that it should be legal to use force to save a life in these circumstances....but this is the US. It'll just end with everyone in the house shot.
It's pretty much a ritual of mine to be and stay hammered most of my travel day.
Chug most of a half pint of liquor in the parking garage, double of Johnnie Walker Black for pretty much every hour I'm in the airport, order some mini bottles (or carry on my own) on the plane, sleep until my destination, and then do whatever it is I'm doing that day.
But then, I handle my alcohol extremely well (and have the red hair gene that makes you less susceptible to its effect and process it more quickly). So I don't really get in trouble.
Nah, sorry, different person than you were initially responding to. I was out to breakfast and just wrote that quickly on my phone.
It was pinched for about 3-4 weeks before my physical therapist finally realized what I'd told him at the start - that my calf was literally paralyzed. He was like, "Oh... that's, that's not good. You need to go to the spine doctor like, immediately." (Dude sucked, but it was the very beginning of COVID so my options were limited.)
Got me in to see the spine doc the next day and I got emergency cortisone injections by the end of the week.
I got usage of my calf back, and significant reduction in pain. But I never got back the full amount of feeling in the right two toes of my right foot, that side of that foot, and stretching up to about mid shin height on the same side. I have pressure sensitivity still. And even touch, kinda. It's like when a limb is asleep. But fuck it I'll take that over the feeling of daggers and lava I had before.
At least for me, even though I've recovered full movement and only have minor to moderate pain after activities which stress the area - the pinched nerve was damaged for long enough that I will have surface numbness on parts of my leg for the rest of my life.
