Lucky it wasn't worse. You can't have any metal on in a huge rotating magnet. Dumb is gonna dumb.

So you say you're a dreamer. Well you're not the only one. ---would be great if people could get into a 1200sf starter home for under 500k in my area.
Who the eff are all these marxists, communists, socialists, etc., wielding all this incredible power in the US and how do they stay so hidden? Deep state? But isn't the deep state mostly rich white guys pulling the strings?
So still no evidence against Joe? Cause frankly I could care less about whatever shenanigans his offspring get into.
Hypocrites. Time and time and time again. A story as old as dinosaurs--so approximately 10,000 years.
Ho hum just another day in America. People kill people, thoughts and prayers, Mental health (but we can't pay for better mental health care cause then you're stealing my money to give to the crazies), etc, et al, ad nauseam.
I suspect no significant change will occur until wealthy people from wealthy countries are forced to abandon homes in coastal areas, or some similar worldwide phenomenon occurs.
These P25 people are just so...hateful. Carrying all that hate seems like it would not be fun.
I love shitting on Texas and Florida and, well every southern state, and most of the Midwest, and quite a few states out west, but as someone who lives in one of these areas I like to remind everyone that's there's a lot of decent people living in those states. That is all.
College towns are great in my opinion. Especially many of the small(ish) towns where large public land grant universities are located. (Penn State/Happy Valley, University of Florida/Gainesville, heck most every SEC school for that matter, Cornell University/Ithaca, etc.) The towns often grow around the universities. The schools bring in events that the towns otherwise would never have (concerts/plays/art exhibits/speakers/etc) not to mention college sports. You have some of the best and brightest, including students, faculty, researchers, doctors, in a confined local area. Education and diversity are valued. The universities are often the biggest employer in town, pay well, and attract lots of companies and people who benefit from the symbiotic relationship. You have people from all different walks of life. And usually the cost of living is reasonable. All in all, usually pretty good places to live.
"Even if Trump is indicted in one of his legal battles, the polling suggests he could still defeat Biden."
He's already been indicted. 4 times.
"A pregnant woman does not need a court order to have a life-saving abortion in Texas. Our ruling today does not block a life-saving abortion in this very case if a physician determines that one is needed under the appropriate legal standard, using reasonable medical judgment," it said in its decision.
Kimberly Mutcherson, a professor of law at Rutgers Law School, said that part of what the Texas Supreme Court judges had to consider was whether they wanted “to be in the business of having every single medical exemption case end up” in their hands.
As the people above me have said it's that the courts are not to be pre-determining the validity of every instance where an abortion is claimed to meet the statutory exemption, and the consequential effect is that no woman wants to proceed in state and no doctor will touch it both for fear of being charged criminally and/or sued civilly. Nobody wants to be a test case that can cause that person criminal prosecution, civil prosecution, legal expenses, loss of medical license, loss of ability to support themselves and their families, and god knows what vigilante actions from the lunatic holy rollers. It's a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation, especially with Paxton threatening to bring the full weight of the government of the State of Texas against you. All of which is just how the Republicans who passed this wanted. They only put the exemption in there to make the law give the appearance of giving a shit about the mother's health.
In the 90's went to TJ with some friends who attended San Diego State University. At the club we drank warm Tecate with ice cubes. There were almost naked women on trapeze swings and porn playing on TV's throughout the venue. It was pretty wild. The police all carried assault rifles. At the end of the night there was a mass of (mostly underage) young people processing through the border. Just had to show your driver's license to get back into the US and there were no swipe machines to validate whether the license was real (that I recall)--just had to look like your photo. You were wise to keep your head about you while in TJ, but I don't recall feeling unsafe. (But also was young and dumb.) Do kids still go there to party?
That sounds amazing--and terrifying! You're one of those real life "I bought a boat and just went people." While I couldn't do a boat open ocean, one day I hope to emulate you and do something like the Great Loop, and other adventures. Fair winds and following seas.
And here I thought just the sugar content was the issue. Welp if I needed another sign that it's time for that colonoscopy, I do no longer.
It was also meant to help people with "pre-existing conditions." Which it has, immensely. Prior to ACA one could not leave, or it was prohibitively expensive to leave the health insurer one had when first diagnosed with a chronic condition, and therefore could also be unable to leave an employer if said employer provided health insurance. Further, one could hit a payment cap and then be uninsurable, and if a payment was missed one would get dropped and then became uninsurable. I'm guessing millions if not tens of millions now have insurance who otherwise would not. Plans are subsidized based on income which is helpful.
Perhaps not as an outwardly stated and official government policy, but there is ostracizing of the unemployed.
Hmm I see what the dictionaries are saying but (using an example from above) I think argument exists that:
If me and my fellow protestors block a road, we are being non-violent, but we are not being peaceful.
But it's Friday and no time for argument!

Ask for a lawyer and zip it up. Problem is you're not getting to talk to a lawyer right then and there and will continue to be held at the jail. If you know a private attorney or someone hires one, you might, and that is a big might, get to to speak to them in a few hours, but even so, they are almost certainly not getting you home that day. In my state you get a first appearance before a judge the next day where a probable cause hearing is held and bond/bail is set. That's usually the first time you even see an attorney but often you only get to speak to them sometime after that first court appearance. Especially if the hearing is done by video where the accused is at the jail and the attorney is at the courthouse.
I've never known "college town" to be used as a denigration, though sometimes students from big cities who go to school in college towns are eager to return to what those big cities have to offer and perhaps don't enjoy the college town vibe as much as others.
Steal stuff from the nearest house (or ask if I wasn't on the run from the law--and maybe even if I was) or town. Otherwise, no, no survival.
Does anyone know what high level politicians actually do on a day-to day-basis. Like, is there someone who works in the field or has had an internship on Capitol Hill or something that can enlighten me? The pols rarely draft their own bills. It's either lobbyists or staffers. Ron Desantis has been Iowa about 100x more than he's been in Florida. Seems like the job is not all that difficult and you can be absent just about all the time unless there's a vote on the floor. But, maybe my admittedly incomplete knowledge is wrong.
Where are you heading?
I support unions but if you commit a crime associated with the union, don't let the steel door hit your ass on the way in. It would be refreshing if 30% of America felt the same about other criminal leaders.
I'm not commenting on the particulars of this proposed bill one way or the other, but I was going to say that I wish these articles would at least link to the actual language of the proposed statute so I can decide whether I agree with the article writer's interpretation or if it's clickbait. (The same with court opinions. And heck, quotes are taken out of context all the time as well. Link me the original source in case I don't want trust the spoon feeding.)
Florida with its Republican supermajority is about to join the gotta provide your ID to do anything Republicans publicly feign indignation over and privately enjoy themselves. So much for less government interference. Hypocrites.
I reckon most of them do believe their vitriol. Some number of them may be pure opportunists who seize on the culture war nonsense for personal gain but are not true believers; however, in my opinion the vast majority are not just putting on an act.
Business setting usually yes. Social setting, no more so than if it was a man.
This is reddit copypasta. Change the name of the famous person and insert whomever.
And I'm not disagreeing with you. I will however point out there is Medicaid for the poorest.
If? It's already in progress.

You're right! Sloppy on my part.
Ah thanks for the clarification! And you are right about torn to shreds. I recommend people go watch those videos that show what happens with metal in MRI machines.
Yes, this guy is my spirit animal--if I ever walk into the woods to disappear and live off the land. Or the neighbors as the case may be.
Yeah but if the legislative branch doesn't fund it and the executive branch doesn't enforce it, then as my granpappy always said: "a writ ain't worth a shit." Lower courts, judges, lawyers, clerks, police, Marshalls, and even administrators notwithstanding.
Such a difficult societal ill to solve. (Or maybe not?) On the one hand nobody wants, nor should be forced to deal with a homeless encampment in their backyard. On the other, where is one supposed to go? To the woods to survive off the land? Can't as it's mostly private property and it's illegal to camp, or stay longer than 2 weeks in any one spot on all government owned land (of which I am aware, including all those millions of acres of BLM land). So, we need an alternative and as you suggested, our priorities as a society seem to be askew. Then what about those who we simply can't house and feed and stabilize for myriad reasons (mental health being a big, if not the biggest one)? Some people will say we can't just continue "throwing money at xyz unsolvable problem." And I see validity in this. Others may perhaps argue that a professional sports stadium brings in revenue to the city beyond what is paid out of the tax coffers. (I'd like to see the math if stadiums ever end up providing a return on investment for a city--I have significant doubts.) Anyone out there have some legitimate ideas on solving the problem besides sending people to the woods to die or be arrested vs building huge encampments that I foresee quickly becoming superfund sites? Is there a model out there that could be applied to the US?

You can resist an unlawful arrest. But good luck with that in the real world.
