I didn't know where else to put it. Now just lie back and take it.

That posted started showing up in my twitter and I had to block it.

That... didn't need to be in this thread?

I think Gordon's point was that the people putting in the metal detectors were on the right track?

FBI implemented changes in reporting to ensure consistency, as various crime districts were reporting data in non-uniform ways (definitions of crimes, etc). some places had delays implementing the reporting standards. that largely seems to be an issues of the past.

murder not so hot any more.

One of their generals was killed by Israel, or something like that.

Iran has stated the attacks are over.

Iran just cannot escalate. They have to do something to show their people they're not just going to take it. But they really have a limit on how much they can do directly.

Meanwhile, China's like "Yep, just keep distracting each other"

God dammit.

Yay Ohio!

hope to keep my current car for 6 more years. The way I look at it is all this time is $ I can save up for the next one, and get whatever I want. And, if I bought a car, it would just start a countdown towards the time that car had to be replaced. that was 2009. The car was a 1999 Camry. I sold it ...

We sold a car at CarMax today, my dad's old car since he can't drive any more.

Despite how little there is to do, from our perspective, it still took and hour and a half.

But, they offered more than the dealers, so here we are.

I heard the Oakland airport was closer to downtown SF than SFO is

All 8 are up.

The way it should be.

It does seem insane. Even with the behind the scenes integration costs, etc.

Grain of salt and all that, but...

Oh noes, they go get a job somewhere else because of record unemployment. Yep, right into lower paying jobs and not just because they have no marketable skills. Remember, this pay bump was just for fast food workers. You get way too tied up in the micro. WHAT IF A SINGLE BUSISNESS CLOSES? Yah, that...

Doesn't feel career-ending... but something. half a season ban?

What then?

Oh noes, the horrors. If they can't survive without the government tit feeing their employees, they shouldn't exist.
