IIRC at least one insurance company, after a hurricane in the SE, told homeowners who had EVs in their garages, which had flooded, to push the car out of the garage so if the battery went critical, only the car would be a loss, not the house too. And at least one insurer ceased covering EVs.
"There was just one problem with the story: It went viral not for its accuracy, but because it fit many people’s preconceived notions about race in America. It turns out that Comrie was the victim – and the person with the right to the bike – and her attorney has the receipts to prove it."
Fine. I'm cool with limited delegation, but the subject in question apparently was NOT clearly delegated, at least in the view of the court. I'm not a fan of administrative agencies interpreting the intent of congress. It should be clearly stated.
Then congress should, you know, pass a clear delegation to various agencies. It's been pretty clear that this has been a problem.....congress not doing their job. I have no sympathy.
Yep, a headlock is a CONTROL position...something I train to get out of. A chokehold, specifically a "rear naked choke", blocks blood flow in the carotid arteries. The types of chokes cops do, that I've seen, is more a windpipe crush. Either way it's a choke.
Now, you CAN switch between chokes and headlocks, but usually it goes from headlock to choke, depending upon everyone's positions, but most head locks I've seen are usually standing up. Chokes can be stand up or on the ground. 6 Seconds on a choke and you're out. A bit longer, you're dead.
Based up my experience "corporate media legacy" has never really "both sides". It's always been left of center and any time given to the other side has been "one sided" and had an agenda.
It also doesn't hurt that LITERALLY almost everyone is related to one another in Iceland. There's even an phone app that will warn you if you are close to someone of the opposite sex that is too genetically close to you for marriage/reproduction.
What do you expect from someone who got a journalism degree? They probably didn't take Chemistry or other science classes in high school or college. The days of journalists knowing something about the field they cover are long gone.
Indeed. My former company sent everyone to WFH during the pandemic except the assemblers, who had to be in the building. Years later, 99% of those staff have no desire to return to the office. Any suggestion of by mngt is rejected.
I agree that we've heard it before. Question is, when will we hear it again and when will it actually come to pass? You don't really thing the Americana empire will continue on for a 1000 years do you. Things change..
I wasn't suggesting we duplicate country x's position. I stated that other countries had established laws that required a lot of work to emigrate. The inference was those states made it hard to emigrate intentionally and for a set of (what they thought) were good reasons. By example I was suggesting the US could do the same....and we could.....maybe enforce the law. Odd concept I know.
What contemporary "conservatives" think or do doesn't really interest me.
"They’re stealing STEMs and other highly educated types that by every right should be ours while we pretend a bunch of people trying to get in to do low skill manual labor are asylum seekers or some nonsense"
Preach it brother. But don't forget that we also have a problem with the Chinese coming here and stealing our tech, so you gotta balance that out.
I would no longer consider myself part of the category "conservative" in the conventional sense, but I see no reason why one side should continue to suggest options that the other side dismisses as not even worth considering. Ex: Immigration. Other countries can have strict policies about who comes in. I see no reason why the US can't either.
Switzerland, as an example, seems to take a lot of effort to be a Swiss citizen.
"You need to have lived in Switzerland for a minimum of five years (in most cases, ten years) before you are eligible to apply for permanent residence. You need ten years of continuous residence in Switzerland to apply for Swiss Citizenship."
People freaking out naked in public, nothing happens.
Crazy lady blows up cars in the middle of the city when it was evident she was a danger to herself and others and nothing happens.
Well, to be honest, I ASSUME that the male wearing the female closes does it because it gives him some form of satisfaction or pleasure. One of those manifestations could be a sexual thrill.
