I predict a distinct change in the tone and content of ATC radio instructions. Use of the gamer word will skyrocket.

Step 1: Make a lot of crimes, such that everyone is at least technically a criminal

Step 2: Stop enforcing the laws against traditional property crimes (theft, vandalism, burglary, etc)

Step 3: Propose cameras, claiming to use them to solve crime problem. People rejoice

Step 4: Use cameras to catch all those crimes you made in step 1. Continue to fail to enforce laws against traditional property crimes.

Step 5: Put on trollface, ask citizens who are being fined and jailed and having guns stuck in their face "We're catching criminals, isn't that what you wanted?"

Protein intake increases thermogenesis. This FGF21 is probably being released when protein is low because more body heat is needed when digestion and absorption aren't producing it, but we know protein-rich diets result in more total thermogenesis.

Make that ...in 2024 there were 7080.

In 2016, there were 6080 pedestrian deaths in the US. In 2017, there were 7080. Ascribing all 1000 of those additional deaths, plus another 2000 that presumably wouldn't have been happened, isn't credible.

I suppose what they did is make themselves a toy model which related hood height to deaths, then applied said model to actual hood heights to come up with a number. Basically assuming what they wanted to prove.

It's a state matter; SCOTUS isn't going to take it.

False. While the ballot measure does not impose an annual wealth tax, it authorizes the legislature to implement one without further voter approval. It also lets the legislature set the rate and the floor.

The wealth tax on Brin would amount to 67%, because it goes by percentage of voting shares or percentage of ownership, whichever is greater. I assume something similar would apply to Page, who also holds Alphabet class B shares. Of course they're going to avoid that.

"Who would have thought that school buses would be turned into the mass surveillance state?,"

As soon as they heard about the cameras? EVERYBODY.

The original article was written with AI and it shows.

The US tends to import heavy sour crude and export light sweet crude. We have the refining capacity for heavy sour, which is more capital and energy intensive, so that works out economically. We have extra heavy refining capacity now because in January Dos Bocas went on line in Mexico, so Mexico can now refine more heavy and export more lucrative refined products. Fortunately for US refiners, we also got a new source of crude (very heavy and sour) when we "liberated" Venezuela.

In general, the heavier and more sour the crude, the harder it is to refine; if the US suddenly had an excess of light sweet and a shortage of heavy sour, US refineries could still handle it.

And not sell any routers because to have a sufficiently American supply chain they'd cost 4-10x as much and be unavailable in quantity (the domestic suppliers for the relevant components are pretty low-volume because they only exist to support the military)

Existing router manufacturers will get exemptions, which will prevent them from challenging the law in court. Would-be newcomers will not get exemptions and thus be out of luck, because they won't have the resources to challenge the law.
