Yea of late the House had been so crazy that Mitch supporting Ukraine and the boarder deal makes him seem moderate. Which is a horrid sign of where things are. I equally wouldn’t be shocked if he said he was stepping because of the party’s shift. Also a horrid sign since he as a massive factor in making it crazy.

Honestly I shop around to an extent and look at reviews for the area. I have to fly to an airport near family and then drive another couple hundred to get to some family. I’ll admit there’s a gambit in quality of the cars, but I don’t have a preferred. And seems like because a brand in x is good doesn’t mean their station in y won’t suck. Hence just hope in reviews being a good indicator.

Your rental experience sounds worse than any I’ve ever had. I have to rent a few times a year.

Also generally I like the idea of renting and having the rental insurance on a long road trip so if something happens then my personal car isn’t totaled or put into a body shop somewhere far away. I’ve hit a deer hours away from home before on a road trip that was WAY worse. If it had been a rental I could have just walked away saying I have insurance so your problem, I need a new car. Where as it became an ordeal of the car being in the body shop 4 hrs away, still needing a rental to get home, since it was far away couldn’t check in on it and the repairs were bad, had to get a ride to get the car, ended up having to drop it off again somewhere local to fix the bad repair job, and get another rental.

I also had range anxiety for EVs on long trips and then I remembered that experience.

While I believe that police reform deeply needs to happen, the need to insure police departments will never go away. It could be due to something so unfortunate as mechanical failure leading to an injury or death.

Ether way I feel like it’s unfair for the public to always pay because the police or any other public department fails and there isn’t a direct recourse/motivation to fix it. The general public loses in every step of the current process. We had the bad employees, we’ve been harmed by their tactics, we pay the legal bills for defending them, we pay the settlement cost, most the time those employees are still there to repeat the issues, and now the budge is potentially reduced making it harder to fix things. This feels fundamentally broken.

To be fair I don’t view that as just a police issue, but any public servant job that can lead to the city/school/gov being sued for millions. I know of a small town that got sued for police issues, paid, and to make up the deficit hired more cops with the intent to make the town a speed trap, to raise money. No one won.

Voice controls are great, unless you have a strong accent it doesn’t understand, a speech impediment, or mute. Which are all things that normally wouldn’t disqualify you from driving a car. Which I feel like should disqualify them from the discussion of physical vs tablets myself.

Star Trek: Away Team was fun kind of xcom type game. Which I still enjoy those games.

Star Trek: Armada like others. Mainly because of my love of RTS and trek.

Star Trek: Legacy I’ve always enjoyed strategy games. Im fairly sure it was this game where I had a bug or Easter egg. Trying to beam up Thomas Riker in the middle of a fight I had two ships lock on. In the end I ended up with two of him, which felt kind of fitting so never could tell if Easter egg or not.

There was one online texted I think java based game online in 95/96, where you can control a ship and could meet other players. I was really really bad that.

Also a “Star Trek” game that I’m fairly sure was a rip off of EGA Star Trek that came in one of those bundle boxes that were like 30 games for $10 on cd.

He started the blockade before that decision though and that blockade is part of the reason they didn’t.

Though won’t argue that he may be upset. Granted Huntsville is more liberal than a lot of Al, so may also view it as owning the libs.

You know that while the treatments would be more expensive than anything an avg American could afford, for some reason it would be covered by the congressional medical plan. Just like Trump got experimental treatments for covid.

Yea, it’ll be like with Alex Jones. Even if he has the ability to not act out or lie in court he still would in hopes of playing to his base and will hurt his case.

You know, I’m starting to have a stronger dislike of MBAs than I do lawyers. Even though lawyers were the traditional wiping boys.

Not SNW, but I for sure could see Lower Decks finding the fold and accidentally finding the bunny probability. Hopefully we’ll see the Klingon bunnies.

That and if he wanted to burn it down, he wouldn’t of thrown the fit about threads. Unexpected events doesn’t make something a conspiracy.
