Every major infrastructure project that involves tunneling or digging runs into massive cost overruns, so basing the number on a cost estimate is already fishy. 100x is probably overkill, but not absurdly so. US infrastructure averages 8-12x more than elsewhere in the world, and it’s getting worse. New York adding less than two miles of track to their subway still cost more than double the estimate. California is spending infinite money on a rail line that may never exist.
Would you rather spend $100 for a 5% chance of losing power for 4-8 hours per year, or spend $10,000 dollars for a .1% chance of losing power for a minimum of 2 days?
The entire concept of free speech zones is an affront to what the country claims to stand for, but it’s been a practice for decades now.
Shootas Blood and Teef. A 40k themed side scrolling shooter with very heavy stylized graphics. If you like 40k it’s a good insight in how orks see themselves. If you don’t like 40k it’s still a mechanically solid game and it doesn’t really have the same grimdarkness that is common in 40k games.
Companies don’t stop hiring, at least in tech. They can force out more expensive talent and hire in cheaper areas or get more junior talent. You could very well interview your potential replacement.
I think it should require some proof that there was mutual intent to prevent or end a pregnancy, but otherwise it seems reasonable.
The need for maintenance is forseen, but it’s generally deferred. There was probably a plan to do something every year or two, but they weren’t willing to shut the beach down for a week or so. A second pipe would be absurdly expensive.
That’s where blood is supposed to be.
True, but those kids are on the market for a reason.
How to find a dirty cop: pick up the phone and call the police station.
It’s a bit tougher with kids, where you might not want to move too far from family if they help occasionally.
With 10m you could pretty safely have a 400-500k “income” even for a family of 4 in a high cost city that should be plenty. It’s not Lambo money for a family, but it’s definitely enough to not have a steady job or be able to simply quit at any mild inconvenience.
Texting on my old stratosphere was so much better than the modern keyboards. I wouldn’t mind an updated version.
Halo infinite is technically cross platform between steam and MS, but the integration sucks for managing friends on steam.
They might have better lawyers, but generally the big club of the government is the inevitability factor. Federal departments are basically immortal and have no profit motive to justify the continued budget.
It doesn’t strip power though, it just moves it to something that hits the news cycle multiple times.
This seems shortsighted by these companies. A jury trial is way more expensive and public with a chance of paying as much or more fines anyway. Sure it takes longer to get a ruling, but that seems like a small win.
The actual rules aren’t too terrible, plenty of these garbage patents would be invalidated with any real scrutiny applied to them. The problem is that it’s often cheaper to pay the settlement than the legal bill to fight, which is a more widespread problem that the legal system is too expensive and slow to be accessible to the vast majority of people. There’s also a secondary issue that patent officers are too generous in granting patents, and reform would be great. The problem is they are overworked so they can’t properly evaluate and research applications, and are encouraged to be overly permissive in granting patents.
There are anti-slapp laws to help with this, but they aren’t always used appropriately.
Kyle Rittenhouse is probably the most textbook definition of self defense there has been. There was some good lawyering to get around the age issue, but at the same time I’m not sure I want someone facing a felony because they aren’t 21. That doesn’t change anything on the ACAB front.
Both things can be true. Bring guns and posters of him to protests. Make it difficult for anyone supporting ICE.
