That's simply not true. It's full of language like "no person shall be..." and "the government shall not...". No mention of citizens. When the constitution is talking about citizens only it very specifically calls it out.

Flagship console games have proper HDR and wide gamut support, which is where I play any game which is a graphical showcase.

What if you are quitting because your pay is shit?

"violating privacy and enjoying monopoly" is bad and all, but it is in a whole other category from aiding and abetting a genocide.

The whole point of protest is to disturb the normal flow of things and disrupt the thing you are trying to stop. That's why people engage in civil disobedience: you go into it knowing that you are putting your freedom and/or job on the line because you believe strongly in the cause. "expressing those concerns in a way that doesn't disturb the office" is like saying "if you want to change the status quo then vote". That's fine and all, but it is the absolute minimum and probably won't change anything significant without further action and conflict.

No they aren't. Last year, 86 civilians were killed by cops in traffic stops alone, with over 1,200 documented killings overall (there is no central database, and NGOs that do this reporting rely on state by state reporting or news reports, so this is a lower limit). In contrast 136 cops died or were killed on the job in total, this includes things like traffic accidents or just keeling over at your desk, not just shootings -- there were fewer than 50 fatal shootings.

In fact, cab driver is a more dangerous job than being a cop by more that 2x. There are 8 cab driver deaths per 100k workers vs 3.5 for cops. Construction work is even more dangerous at 9.6 deaths/100k. Hell, fast food employees die at a rate of 1.8.

So while being a cop is slightly more dangerous than the average job, it's far from one of the deadlier occupations and the level of danger is greatly exaggerated: I wouldn't call "almost twice as dangerous as working at McDonalds" taking your life into your hands. It in no way justifies the level of violence they inflict on the rest of society. If the goal of the police is to maintain a high K/D ratio, then they are doing great, protecting the public from violence: not so much.

If at least one c-level executive responsible for those safety lapses had gone to jail I might be ok with it, but they didn't so I'm not.

I'm a guy and am in that camp too. I love coding. Been doing it since I was 7. But I already do it 40+ hours a week. I love my job, but no hobby is worth that much of my time unless I'm being paid to do it. I don't have any enthusiasm left to do it in my spare time much. I have other interests I want to purse as well and children, friends, and a spouse I want to spend time with.

All the houses I've ever lived in have had mostly cast iron sewer pipes and copper for water coming in.There's probably some lead in the solder, but that is only usually a problem if you let the water sit for a long time. Just run the water for a few minutes after coming home from a vacation. Neither of my kids have ever tested positive for lead exposure.

Most plastics do break down, albeit slowly due to exposure to UV and other natural processes. These actually sever the bonds in the polymer chains, eventually decaying into simple hydrocarbons.

PFAS, on the other hand, while they may be broken into arbitrarily small particles, basically never degrade at the molecular level naturally.

the younger kids (college age) feel the need to rebel. that's universal.

however, they are extremely uninformed and are siding with the WRONG side.

islam has no ceasefires. they only have 'temporary reloading' periods. this is in their holy books, look it up. if you dare to find the truth about islam.

islam is not compatible with the west. the longer we keep putting off the big fight, the worse its going to be.

I have zero patience for so-called 'smart googlers' who cant even see that the islamic way of life is 100% counter to everything they VALUE in the west.

in short, they are idiots. how they got into google - that just means google has no clue about actual people's views and only cares about 'how fast can you code nested procedures?'.

again, I have very little respect for googlers. they are the most spoiled brats I've ever seen in my life.

let them lose their jobs. that would be some justice.

when they get 20 or 40 years older, they'll change their views. we all do. but for supposedly smart geniuses, they sure act like little clueless children.

PR. Hamas deliberately organizes things so that children die when Israel attacks. Since the world learned, from Judaism via Christianity, that children shouldn't be killed, it takes issue with those who're actively killing the children. The aspect of those children being put in place to be killed by Hamas has no bearing in this, because Israel is in the unenviable position of being able to opt not to shoot / explode / starve the children Judaism taught the world it's wrong to shoot / bomb / starve.

Yes, this is a Catch-22. Either Israel fully avoids shooting, bombing, and starving those children, giving Hamas a strong strategic advantage it'd need to overcome in some other way (that doesn't involve shooting, bombing and starving children), or Israel embraces the shooting, bombing and starvation of children to uproot Hamas, thus becoming monsters before the very world their great-great-great-...-great-grand-forefathers taught "do NOT kill children".

There are echoes of that. Until the 1930s Christian antisemites regularly accused Jewish people, falsely, of murdering children, which all by itself had led to several Pogroms. Hamas is obviously taping on that. The problem is, nowadays there are photos of the murdered children, whereas back then there were, quite literally, no murdered children at all.

Hence, while the analogy is there, and parallels can be traced, the core difference is that in the 1930s the accusations were false, while in 2020s they aren't. Yes, again, this is deliberately being engineered by Hamas. But there's no sidestepping the fact the world is intensely horrified by the photos of dead children. And the longer this continues, the worse Israel's international image will become.

So, PR-wise, the best approach would be to, you know, stop killing the children. Not reducing the rate of children killed per month of whatever, that doesn't work in a world where the video of one children who dies will be repeatedly shown all around over and over and over. A total, full stop. That's what it'd take, at the bare minimum.

That's basically it. Not a sudden global pandemic of antisemitism, which isn't really happening, no. Dead children. No more, no less.

Depends. My parents got married in their backyard and paid a JP like $50. And friends and family made the food. My brother and several friends have done similar.

If you are splitting your assets, how the hell is either party supposed to "continue their lifestyle"? You have half the stuff (and depending on the circumstances, half the income), your lifestyle is going to take a hit, at least for a while.

Right, but we were talking about the peak capacity needed to address the surge caused by everyone coming home at 6 and plugging in. If the only people using public chargers during the day don't have a charger at home, then they do nothing to displace that 6pm surge.
