Real talk: if they’re at the point of destroying records to justify it, it will not matter if they actually did succeed in destroying them or not, your best case scenario becomes a quick deportation and worst a concentration camp. Legal justification will not be a blocker.

I mean, sure, but they very carefully spent most of that big assed paragraph not saying it, it would be rude to press further.

I have this drawer, and also the junk drawer. This is the correct solution to ‘uncommonly used tools of an awkward shape’

I’m sorry you had to find out this way.

Yes and no. Costco hot dogs are 100% vertically integrated and they get the soda basically for free from Pepsi and they still barely break even on them, if they even do anymore. You add in a farm, packer, and a distributor taking their percent and even a lower quality dog is going to be pretty lean on profit at 2USD in 2024

I gotta say, that’s really sweet.

Even if it’s because of some 11/10 degen shit that kicked it off. Maybe especially because of it.

Iirc indoor ranges need ventilation systems because, you know, all the combustion. I don’t know if the residue on, say, counters, etc, is enough of a buildup to be significant but I would be surprised if airborne particulate was particularly high.

It’s also hella sad, so i don’t see the issue at all

This is the whole thing right here.

Ayyyyyyyy

Yeah, I’m not trying to call him a saint, only that he (or maybe more accurately his staffers) actually took the time to understand the thing he was talking about to some extent.

If they went with justifiable homicide they could have gotten an easy conviction. Instead they went with terrorism and Murder 1, both of which there is too much sympathy for.

Hey, don’t paint mister Series of Tubes with that brush, that analogy is still more accurate than 99% of the bullshit about the internet coming out of DC

At the scale of the electrical inputs for medium-large scale apartment buildings, the cost to be battery-ready isn’t measured in dollars but in cubic feet you’re reserving for the purpose. The breakers and line (and sometimes full transformer banks) already have to exist to distribute grid to the sometimes hundreds of units of apartment, so converting a standard demarc to one which would support a battery array wouldn’t be more than installing the shunts and electronic controls. 1 afternoon for a 2-3 man team and maybe a bucket truck if you’re feeling fancy.

The problem is that every square foot of floorspace is planned for in these complexes, and there’s a zero percent chance that any builder is going to allocate the raw square/cubic feet to grid storage without the grid operator or city paying cash for it, and maybe not even then.

Now, if you want to try to legislate that all parking must be built on top of batteries or something, that might be workable, but I would consider putting it in the buildings themselves to be untenable.

That would be hella expensive

This makes me deeply uncomfortable for reasons I can’t adequately explain. Some real uncanny valley firearms shit.

And now it’s a fucking product. Of course it is.

But you gotta make sure you are not falling into paranoia. It is a concerning disease and you should be careful not to fall into it.

If this is where they’re at, they are already elbow deep into that sticky soup of paranoia.

were all fucked unless something drastic happens such as a serious recession/depression forcing the views to change faster.

Good news, everyone!

No, i mean like literally bodyguarding, not just doing what they’re told.

If cops start acting like bodyguards for rich people, they will for the next one.
