I have not seen quadlets before, that's really neat.

Jennings was already in the back of a patrol car by the time Roberson, the white woman who called police, emerged. Jennings, she told officers, was a neighbor and a friend of the home’s owner, Roy Milam.

“OK. Does he have permission here to be watering flowers?” Smith asked.

“He may, because they are friends,” she replied. “They went out of town today. He may be watering their flowers. It would be completely normal.”

Milam told the AP that was exactly what happened: He’d asked Jennings to water his wife’s flowers while they were camping in the Tennessee mountains for a few days.

Watering flowers wasn’t the problem, Smith told Roberson. The issue, he said, was Jennings’ refusal to provide identification after acting “suspicious.”

Realizing that she’d called police because one neighbor was watering another’s flowers, Roberson said: “This is probably my fault.”

A few moments later, officers told Roberson that a license plate check showed the gold sport utility vehicle that prompted her call in the first place belonged to Milam. They got Jennings out of the patrol car and he told them his first and last name.

“I didn’t know it was him,” Roberson told police. “I’m sorry about that.”

Nope, racist neighbors and racist cops

Ideally, when a medical professional genuinely thinks you are an immediate danger to yourself or others.

Whatever floats your boat...

Shooting on low budget stuff is whatever, but the amount of software filtering that goes on in a smartphone camera seems like it would make the raw footage really difficult to edit.

Same for me, local and the other tabs work but the main timeline is failing.

We can already store electrons in a container, we call that a capacitor. You separate 2 conductive plates with a dielectric and then connect the plates to a voltage source to deposit electrons on one side and remove electrons from the other (creating a difference in electric potential). You can then disconnect the voltage source and you will have electrons in a bottle. When you connect those plates to another circuit, they will discharge. The more surface area you have, the more electrons you can store. Electrolytic capacitors tightly roll the conductors into a spiral for space efficiency.

This cannot be used to gain any more energy than you used to put them all in there.

Yes he sent a damn signed contract.

Because people need stable incomes and healthcare, so they start applying for jobs and get them. People aren't quitting to be unemployed.

Manifest Destiny is pretty much that. The US fought Mexico, Spain, and British Canada, exploited the political situation in Europe to buy a huge chunk of land from France, and displaced or killed hundreds of thousands of native people. The US is the 4th largest country by area. Having that much contiguous land is insanely valuable and powerful. By the time the US would have even had to think about colonizing like the Europeans it was going out of style.

0.35% is a little high for an expense ratio, especially for a product that has basically followed the S&P500 for the last 10 years. I'm no expert, but there are lower fee etfs from Vanguard that perform basically the same.

You have way too high a percent of your portfolio in individual stocks. Focus on low fee etfs, ideally ones that track whole or at least broad market segments.
