No, that's not how it works. The homeless are being converted into prison slaves.
Besides Jill Stein attending the same dinner as Putin, and accusing the west of encircling Russia, mind elaborating your view of her being a Russian asset?
"All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"
They're more locked-down by the manufacturer than desktops, so they're more "trusted" by corporations to act in corporate interests at the expense of yours.
Sucks to be them, LOL!
That's when it's time to shame, ridicule, ostracize, and exile. People like that do not deserve the benefits of living in a society.
Not just from the fees prisons charge governments to house the criminals, either. It's also the profits from the slave labor.
Yes it does. That's exactly what they just ruled.
product specifically evolved as a pesticide.
A.K.A., a poison.
"Natural" doesn't mean "good" -- lots of natural things are poisonous.
Do you want a fascist dicatorship? 'Cause letting assholes be dangerously wrong without pushback is how you get a fascist dictatorship.
Well yeah, gotta look the part.

(Hitler got away with not doing it because (a) dictators don't have to follow the rules, but more importantly (b) color TV didn't exist yet.)
Ah, good point. I was thinking about zoning codes, not building codes.
"Drink verification can" really is only a matter of time.
They inflict this shit on people, yet if you destroy the brainwashing machine, somehow you're the one considered a criminal.
I could be wrong, but I think the zoning laws tend to be much more focused on stopping people from working in residential areas than on living in commercial or industrial ones.
It's significantly worse if your house is humid, and dehumidifiers increase the heat, but they're still worth it
Fun fact: the reason air conditioners are called "conditioners" instead of "coolers" is that they were originally designed for dehumidification.
In my profile it says my cake day is today (June 13), but it was displaying a cake icon on my comments all day yesterday (June 12).
The icon was a black and white outline so I thought maybe it was showing it the day before on purpose so other people would see ahead of time, and that it would turn colorful on the actual day. But then midnight hit and it disappeared, so it must be a bug instead.
I'm framing up a non-load-bearing wall that has two closet doors on it, close together (the king studs for the two openings are 13" apart). Unfortunately, they are aligned such that one of the 16" OC common studs would fall within that gap. In fact, it would only be 1/2" away from the left king stud, so not even anywhere near the middle of the space.) Is it still normal/expected to include that stud, or can I omit it?
(BTW: both doors will go to the same closet so there's no perpendicular wall teeing into this one, in case that matters.)
The state has made it harder to widen highways, and transportation officials are turning their eyes to transit.

> New sustainable delivery service by the Swedish giant Ikea on Florence. In fact, customers will be able to choose to receive in their homes light products - up to a total weight of 30 kilos - via cargo bike. A way to help reduce traffic and city pollution that will be made possible by the Ikea Italia agreement with Ecopony and Robin Food, local and ethical delivery specialized in deliveries on two wheels. A green experimentation that sees Florence as the protagonist. > > “With the increasing diffusion of sales methods such as e-commerce and new purchasing habits, it is necessary to put in place actions that are sustainable in the long term – says Carlo Guandalini, IKEA Market Manager Florence – For this reason, even in the city of Florence, we have implemented an important plan linked to the logistics of the last mile to ensure that the path of our products has a positive impact, not only for the environment but for the entire community”. > > Florence was also among the first Italian cities that saw IKEA equip itself with a fleet of electric vehicles to make deliveries to the plan in zero emission mode: from last June 10 electric vehicles were progressively introduced to cover all deliveries in the city. The Swedish giant aims to deliver zero-impact deliveries by 2025.
The Oregon Senate passed a bill updating laws around electric bicycles on Monday. It's named for a Bend teen killed in a collision while riding an e-bike last summer.

> The lawsuit’s claims highlight how “over the last decade, the failure of police foundations nationwide to provide basic levels of transparency raises questions about their motives, and whether or not they have the public interest at heart”, said Alex Vitale, the author of The End of Policing. “If you have nothing to hide, then why are you hiding?” Vitale said. > > Last week’s lawsuit draws attention to the center’s driving force, the APF – the nation’s largest police foundations, and one of the most well-funded among hundreds, with support from corporate donors such as Delta, Wells Fargo and Home Depot. Its CEO, Dave Wilkinson, is also the highest-paid among police foundation CEOs nationwide, with a 2022 salary of $500,000. > > Corporate funding, coupled with their non-profit status, have allowed police foundations to escape public scrutiny, said Vitale. “Police have relied on these slush funds to provide them with levels of independence from government oversight unheard of in any other agency,” Vitale said.
