I got my first cellphone from a Sprint PCS store, which dates me. After that, I would just but whatever phone I felt like at Fry's or Best Buy or online. Main advantage of doing the store was I was able to pick my phone number from a list she had on the screen. And after all that I didn't keep the number because years later someone was convinced it was their number and would harass me once or twice a month about "stealing" their number. I don't need a telephone number that badly, and if some crazy person loses their shit because of it then they can have it, it means more to them than to me.

about 20% of arsons are cleared. You don't need a camera in the forest to catch someone.

Mostly by the sort of people who typically lack the resources to avoid prison. So I don't see the big deal. They can play stupid games and win stupid prizes.

11-15% - equipment use and vehicles. mowers, dirt bikes w/o arrestors, tow chains, flat tire sparks, etc.
6%-10% - arson. specifically a criminal act with human intent.
10% - utility infrastructure. winds blowing trees into lines, fallen utility poles, etc.
10-15% - lightning and natural causes.
35%-45% - miscellaneous human accidents. open burning, fire arms, fire works, smoking, kids with matches, etc. Potentially criminal negligence but a distinct category from arson.

Arson isn't really #1, at least how I think it would be typically defined. I would say negligence is the biggest super-topic among these. And solving only arson is insufficient to addressing the other more significant factors.

Can't we prosecute arsonists? Or do we need to focus on the dipshits that bet on every possible topic imaginable?

I wouldn't want to build an AI data center in a hostile country. Regardless of how well it is located to users and power. And power is fungible in the first world. Nuclear power and HVDC is endemic in the EU.

Libre office falls over on the evil spreadsheet we used for project planning at my last job: SCS (self correcting schedule). You'd check it out, add your progress updates, and it would tell you if the project is running late. Genius and an insane abuse of a tool. But at least we didn't need to get every team lead a copy of MS Project.

You'd have to make a case that the constitution is being violated. Which is the point of the courts. And any remotely free nation follows the basic principle that you can petition the government.

9.2 million according to Paragon Health Institute, and no one else.

Let's say it's true though. Is it all fraud? Much of it is automatic enrollment. Simply bad management by the government, as it continues to re-enroll people that have not been eligible since the end of the pandemic. (which is where most of them got added in)

Most straight-forward solution is to fast track the delayed eligibility reviews. And the OBBBA mandates that states do the reviews on a schedule, but it doesn't offer resources or a grace period. So no soft landing, and likely people dropped who shouldn't be in the scramble. (like my Mother who can't travel and is now denied a remote interview. social worker and attorney are now involved, so we'll see)

Pelosi's trading is well documented, public information in fact. But proving insider trading, even under the STOCK Act, is very difficult and nobody has picked up the case. There's a lack of concrete legal evidence to convict. Going ahead without evidence as a political witch hunt would fail spectacularly, another Ken Starr debacle like his empty accusation during the Whitewater scandal.

For what it's worth, I would be fine charging Pelosi and the entire Trump family for how they have abused their position. But I'm not going to hold my breath that any of these politicians will answer to the American People for what they have done with the power we granted to them.

Courts won't do anything.

And given that attendance for the No Kings protests was half to a third of BLM, there is really little incentive for office holders to change course. The American people just aren't that interested in what goes on in the nation's capital.

I prefer LaTeX and CSV as the stand and, and in some industries that is already the case.

So corruption and embezzlement continues.

"Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks." - Psalm 137:9

It's a simple switch for someone to go from being God-fearing to believing that God has sent them on a mission and will protect them.

I prefer rationality and reason over fear and faith. If I cannot reason with someone, and the pose a danger, then collectively we can agree on what to do with them. Instead of letting an imaginary god or gods sort it out for us. (they never do)
