It has happened under both.

RF control drones are nowhere near dead. Even DJI Mavics are still used daily for recon missions, nothing beats their combination of price to video quality.

This is a love tap, fists will be thrown later. One thing can and should be done, we need to start adding aerosols into the atmosphere, the higher the better. Adding Na compounds to jet fuels would introduce just enough aerosols in order to start reflecting a tiny amount more of solar radiation than what makes it to the surface of the planet. 1-2% reflection is all we need to start reducing the temperatures. Of-course we will have to keep doing it until we figure out a more permanent solution.

This problem needs to be solved by references, ask AI, people, is this program safe before installing.

Google is now adding more rules to make sideloading more difficult while Apple never provided a way to sideload an app in the first place. People need to be able to build and load their own apps without permission from the OS manufacturer, a phone is a computer with specialized hardware, we do have ability to build and run apps on our own hardware.

#4 in economy. Thats pretty good.

CA is also:
#1 in homelessness AND #1 in per capita homeless spending!
#1 in poverty.
#1 in highest taxes (excluding property tax the only tax stat they are middle-of-the-road)
#1 in lowest in adult literacy rates

But hey! California's overall high school graduation rate grown over the last 20 years to north of 87%! Something we can be PROUD OF! Too bad only ~37% can perform math at the expected levels. But we are AWSOME with reading skills! Just under 50% can read at expected levels!

I live in CA. We hide failed education programs by elevating grades such less than a whopping 25% of high school grads are ready for college. Third to last! Thank god for West Virginia and New Mexico!

Damn shame we don't fix our problems with that "boast" of a California economy.

Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?

Flock is not a single police officer standing on a street corner. Flock is a network of continuous data collection from every perspective on every road and intersection. Flock is not a camera, it is an AI system that follows you precisely everywhere, it is a data dump without a court order. There is expectation that a police officer will NOT follow you everywhere without a court order just because he is paid from taxes and has nothing better to do, this is stalking.

You should answer this question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Wrong, it's a slight of hand. This is not about individual cameras, this is about the network that uses all cameras together to follow you no matter what you do, no matter where you go, people shouldn't have a government that follows their every step by using AI and networked devices. If this was about individual cameras you would have a point, it is not, it is unreasonable to allow a government to exist that creates a panopticon of this scale, citizens shouldn't feel like they are inside a prison and the warden is watching.

in an unregulated market (what consumers need), new businesses are able to create new competition if there is money to be saved for consumers.

That reply is wrong in degree, of course, but, sadly, it's not wrong in kind. We've long tolerated insider trading by Congress, and a revolving door between regulators and the companies they regulate. The Supreme Court has allowed its justices to take veiled bribes, and even ruled that government officials can accept bribes as long as the payoff comes after the action. Prior to Trump, presidents and their staffs stayed out of this mud, but if others can do it, why not the president? The root of the problem is voter acceptance of corruption. Too many Americans just assume that all politicians are corrupt and there's nothing you can do. They're wrong on both points -- and in fact the US previously did have massive public corruption and then mostly shut it off, but Americans don't know their own history -- but until voters care enough to get Congress to act, this is the new normal.

So much this. Dems do themselves a disservice when they roll their eyes at the "both sides do it" responses. Because when Dems do it, it just enables Republicans to do it 100x worse with clean consciences. When Biden, for instance, gets turned down by Congress on student loan forgiveness, so instead goes looking for ways around Congress via executive power...how the hell do you think Trump got a similar idea?

Or look at reconciliation. When reconciliation was created, it had a specific budgetary role in 1974. It got co-opted in the 90s to grab more power by passing non-budgetary law that they didn't have the votes for via the normal process. Since then, it's just become the "normal" way of doing business. Now there's even talk of eliminating the filibuster, on both sides. It's just a slow ever-marching degradation of civics until in the end we'll have no checks and balances (if we even have any atm).

"They also to an incident (and not almost) didn't smear shit on the walls or kill cops. Your false equivalence here is obvious support for the same child raping president you claim to not support. No one is stupid enough to buy your bullshit here."

What cop was killed on J6? The one who got pepper-sprayed? The one listed as "natural causes" on his DC? What's a reasonable penalty for that, assuming you got the guy who sprayed him?

With the Floyd riots, 2000 injured police officers, with injuries ranging from gunshot wounds, to severe head trauma, to broken bones, deep lacerations, etc... and virtually no jail or or prison time for rioters.

Facts are, in fact "stubborn things" and bias is hard to overcome for many regardless of facts.

"Bullshit"? You're the one with "Poo" in your name, Poo.

"What is the point of posting references to documents you clearly have never even read?"

What's the point of posting to a thread if you don't READ the thread.

Poo: "Trump pardoned all the J6 terrorists via autopen."
Me: "No he didn't. There was a mix of pardon's and commutations"

"Hundreds of police officers were attacked, 140 of whom received injuries at the hands of the insurrectionist mob. Officers have lost eyes,"

And most of the folks prosecuted were beyond over prosecuted for it. One officer lost an eye, yes (ONE! Singular) -- but over 1500 people were arrested and over prosecuted. Things like calling "bear spray" and discharging fire extinguishers "lethal weapons" And yes, one ex firefighter actually threw a fire extinguisher.

Compare that to the over 2000 officers that suffered injuries (including gunshot wounds, broken bones and severe head trauma from thrown bricks) , during the George Floyd riots defending Federal take over and take over attempts as well as state building take overs and take over attempts. The vast majority of those arrested were charged with misdemeanors that were mostly dropped later on and most of those that were charged with felonies were allowed to plea down to misdemeanors with no or virtually no jail time.

"You just demonstrated it by attempting to excuse away the blatantly indefensible with a load of factually incorrect gibberish."

You just demonstrated you suffer from TDS by your in ability to think straight.

And no, I do *NOT* believe J6 was an insurrection but a protest gone riot -- much like the George Floyd riots. They went to protest what they believed to be severe election irregularities. It's their right -- even if they are wrong. it's not their right to riot. Trump TOLD people at the near by "rally" to walk over to the capital building: "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."

Yes, he used the same language earlier on in the rally that BOTH sides use with in their various rallies and calling "fight" for their $_Cause.

"The appellate process not vigilantism is the proper forum for those who believe they have been mistreated in some way by the justice system. "

I don't disagree with this -- but the power of the President and Governors to pardon and commute is also there to quickly resolve an injustice or over use of the justice system as a "fail safe" -- it's part of that system and you are deliberately being blind not to admit that.

Do I believe the pardons were overly broad? Yes. There are some folks who should have served (and some did) more than a year in jail or prison, but for the majority, it was the right decision.

virtually all of them. They were almost to an incident, never prosecuted.
