  1. Siap
  2. So honorary professorships then.
  3. My beefs about policing in America today, in no particular order: Qualified Immunity Unions Militarization of Police No-Knock Raids Asset Forfeiture Plus there must be some kind of selection bias or problem since this seems to happen in different depts. all over the country. Back on point my 5 items above I don't see how any reasonable person thinks we shouldn't be able to sue the PD if they kill my family member, or that cops need ARs, or that no-knock raids are insanely unconstitutional and inherently dangerous and corrupting, and yet we have all these things. I do think it is a good sign that these stories are starting to put Union officials on blast. I don't know the name of the Minn police chief, how is that not a household name? How is Art Acevedo still employed? /rant edit: how the fuck I did not include War On Drugs is beyond me, that's how we got no-knocks, ARs, asset forfeiture and the rest.
  4. "I need you to kill this guy for me." "..." "I'll help you leave town afterward." "..." "I'll give you $300 to pay for the gun" "Deal."
  5. If they came out against no-knock warrants I'll write them a check. I don't know how any thinking person believes those are okay.
  6. So Sweden cleared the brush and the US did not. Or is that backwards? I think what you are missing about your analogy is that no two pieces of real estate are the same, so the condition of my fire clearing and weed control may not be comparable to yours given your wonderfully appointed 2 acre hunting lodge and my empty 2 section cow/calf side hustle. Maybe I'm happy for some brush fire, I'm grazing so I don't have excess fuel and no improvements. The same brush fire that actually helps my grass next season burns down your entire hunting camp. That's how stupid that analogy is (or can be).
  7. So is this true in every other country? I don't think you're saying our politics caused the pandemic. Did all bad politics in all countries cause it? Confusing.
  8. Yeah I was told there would be flying cars a Google covid tracker by now.
  9. I don't really care why, as long as we have local, but IMO it is due to taste. There is no chain food that approximates the local cuisine that Austinites love (very specifically regional BBQ and Tex Mex just to name two) and the same is for sure true where I live. Plus restaurants have less working capital requirements that most other small businesses as you can often get terms for food and of course sell your wares for cash. At the same time even in the best of times it was low margin for lots of work. At the very least your favorite taco dive is probably going to have to raise its prices.
  10. Jesus. I honestly wonder if it is really worth anything approaching that anymore. I wonder what the owner has planned for it. NEELLEY GORDON WILLIAM? edit: well after reading the rest of the thread it looks like the family owns the dirt? My Basemap account shows the above as owners. So Shady Grove the business has no value but the dirt underneath it is Sailboat money.
  11. Like him and Romo. Mostly i just hate Theismann.
  12. They need to offer stay-at-home bonus pay for any positive test.
  13. NYT Siap, https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/07/us/new-york-city-coronavirus-outbreak.html#click=https://t.co/umJUgjbGkt Tldr, 70% of TX infections traced to NY (only 4% from WA) genetically. Not sure of sample size, I didn't see that number in there but I sped read
