Wow you are just hitting on EVERY buzzword aren't you?

Right wing leaders generally don't have centrally planned economies or socialist welfare states

Israel's more ethnically diverse than any European country and has peaceful relations with many "non-white" countries around the world. In fact it's specifically affluent whites that hate Israel the most.

So it's legal for literal nazis to commit genocide and annex territory but illegal for their victims to come back after a couple years. Got it. You should tell everyone living in former Vichy France that. And all the Czechs living in the Sudetenland. And the Belgians. And while we're at it probably want to let the Ukrainians know everyone moving back to the Donbass after liberating it are "illegal settlers".

West bank of what? You mean the territory west of the Jordan river? That's Judea and Samaria, it's been called that for over 2000 years. "wEsTbAnK" was invented by Jordan in the 1950s after they committed genocide. You know, that thing you pretend you're opposed to?

protip buddy the people following the Nazi Party are the people literally telling you they love Hitler and hate Jews

. They're literally telling you they're Nazis. They're not hiding it. There's no "dog whistles". They stick their arms out, use the swastika all over the place, and flat out tell you how much they support Hitler and Nazism.

Schrodinger's leftist. Every leftist is a leftist until the moment they're politically inconvenient to other leftists at which point they become right.

Funny it's not republicans taking hostages during pogroms where they literally go jew hunting on campus, inbetween shouting how much they love hitler and hate Jews. It's not republican academics who've taken Jewhatred to such deranged extremes they're publishing books claiming that hebrew punctuation is an evil jewish conspiracy.

It's the lefts who are copying Hitler's playbook step by step.

No, people criticizing the left are definitely using it in the 1945 definition of people who love Hitler and hate Jews

Google says that patent expired in September of 2025, as it was filed in 2005. Yes, we are getting old.

Personally, I prefer the old rectangular Thinkpad charging connectors.

Exactly. And Vmware's calculus is that as long as it has a dozen gigantic clients (governments, huge enterprises) that it can charge whatever it wants, then the small fish aren't worth it.

If Miranda rights were written a little like the Second Amendment, police would indeed have a PD in house for this. But even the 2nd Amendment, despite 'shall not...', is regularly sidestepped. Bear in mind, though, that in many big cities the schools are teaching that police are the enemy. They fail, however, to follow that up with 0) know your rights, and 1) STAY OUT OF TROUBLE. But to make big city school systems are cheating students out of a future. It's criminal.

" All cell phones by law have a AM/FM capabilty"

Untrue. False. Made up.

" into the AM broadcast band, which is about 50 times lower in frequency than AM broadcast"

Huh? Maybe you meant 'about 50 times lower in frequency than FM broadcast'. If only FM had better range, but nope.

Bear in mind that the 'emergency' where your car radio could be most useful might, no probably, will also have a power outage in there somewhere. Cell service will not last too long when the batteries die, and the generators don't work, or weren't there at all...

"Who the hell cares if I can get a radio station from thousands of miles away "

Most AM radio listening is to local stations. MW propagation can range a few thousand miles, but it's somewhat unusual.

And not the point of the defense of AM radio in automobiles. Timely information, emergency information, AM is still a popular option, and listenership is not decreasing.

"just buy a radio'. Huh, so that handheld radio would not suffer from interference (Hams call it WRM, but it is really RFI) just like the build in unit? The real problem here is that automobile manufacturers do not want to solve the RFI issues. It is expensive. And complex. And not unreasonable. The AM radio in my Prius does not suffer form RFI, and there is an inverter and HV drive system in there. Tesla etc. will have to employ serious engineers to show then where they went wrong. A Herculean effort? I bet not.

ps - Duke sucks.

I dunno where you live, but police around where I live (and for at least a 100 mile radius) do not think their jobs are boring, unless you think the risk of a bullet boring a hole in your body is 'boring'.

Repetitive? Yeah, domestic violence, homeless overdoses, e-moto kid stupidity, and random-ish shootings, rinse and repeat.

True. Eyewitness reports, a BOLO for 'Durango' out over the radio or network, and Liz gets this treatment anyways.

"'Better Call Saul"

Um, using popular entertainment as an example of real life behavior is not quite as dumb as it gets, but it's on the same block.

"two police officers who she says claimed there was incriminating damage on her vehicle"

"But her car is a different color"

Common police tactics, and generally legal, but not very ethical.

The claim of evidence, whether it is true or not, is a common interrogation tactic, intended to elicit a confession. This is when you, the accused, either demand a lawyer be present to represent you, or clam up and invoke your right to remain silent (and let them prove their case on their own).

The mistaken color is another common police tactic. They know eyewitnesses often get details wrong. Color of your car? Easily mistaken. Or not. Advice above holds here also, lawyer and clam up.

The police generally are motivated to solve cases and close the books. Let the courts figure out true guilt. When you are being questioned, or are detained, you cannot trust them AT ALL. They are no longer serving you. You are their lawful prey, and they will pursue you.

I hope Liz makes them pay enough to deter at least one. But I doubt the police will change one bit.

We have bubonic plague infections every year in the United States. Very, very few, admittedly, but it's not like it's been eradicated. So there's still benefit in studying it.
