yea, this is preaching to a small choir. Can she even see everything she did wrong to lose? This drives me bananas about Democrats in general, they think just having better positions means they’ll win easily which just continues to fail as a strategy.

Reporter: β€œwhat do you think about open carry?”

This is ridiculous and not well researched. Class 2&3 are not the problem. You need to figure out how to regulate electric β€œbikes” which are effectively motorcycles. You need more enforcement for automobiles. You need to increase infrastructure safety for cyclists.

Let’s add some historical perspective, the catch has grown massively since the 1990s and has to top out, looks like we might be there. Distribution has gotten more efficient and widespread but supply is ultimately limited.

Apple private relay might help but I can’t recommend it because I seemingly can’t get off email lists when I use it.

yea … I’ve encountered this and with regular email login all being grouped together in one account. Having seen some of the garbage auth code people use I’m not surprised. and of course marketing wants to link as much as possible.

I remember it being extremely sluggish on that computer, big delay on hits

Ha, my grandparents had a big collection of these along with B.C. we’d sit and read as kids

Heh, same goes for the rules of combat, well, you can just endlessly drop huge bombs and kill people but if you use a plier on their fingernails that’s just not gonna pass the tribunal.

Rad screwed customers from the beginning, far too many proprietary parts the bikes are a nightmare to repair.

We have the new ADU laws but I really don’t even know who wanted this to begin with, it seems not well thought out. Our answer is to build a bunch of little houses in backyards? Errr.

We see this kind of thing in Europe and think our designers and builders don’t know how to do this but it really does all come back to zoning because that controls this kind of design. Getting the zoning changed is off the charts difficult when the town residents themselves don’t want to change it.

Wealthy Dubai residents race back to UAE to avoid tax bills Some risk spending too few days in the emirate and too many in the UK

Tax exiles stuck in London desperately trying to get *back* to Dubai to avoid becoming tax resident in the UK? Just great stuff. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

What a sociopath. This isn’t even a logical answer in the financial sense, there are limits on how you can use those losses.

I suspect Noem’s real crime in trump’s mind was the contract grift her friends had going. If anyone is going to take that money it’s going to be him, that’s how a criminal thinks.

I think this really depends on perspective, if you have high standards then something which gives statistically weighted results may be that.

Yah, people need to stop keeping up with the Jones. Buy smaller cheaper cars they exist.

Individuals seriously need to scale down their desires, buy cheaper vehicles, pay down loans and make their vehicles last longer.

yea the ease of access to building supplies, high quality cheap tools and online help is ridiculous. The hard part is the paradox of choice.
