Well, the post a few days ago with the footage at the end of this video did say he was "immobilized".

They are trying. AB 2200 aims at laying the groundwork for universal healthcare. Minimum wage just went up to $16 for everyone and $20 for fast food workers. There are experiments going on in several cities with guaranteed income. But everything comes with a cost, and the state is having budget problems. There have been job losses associated with the wage increases. Employers have begun to get very picky about who they hire for even minimum wage jobs. Hours have been cut.

Even Democrats realize one state can't offer free stuff without attracting every freeloader in the country. Someone has to pay for the benefits, and if they tax those folks too heavily, they'll find another place to live. There's a real limit to how many social programs can be offered before they break the piggy bank.

Police and emergency responder sirens are about 120 dB at 1 meter. The duration of exposure is similar to an Amber Alert tone. I don't see people suing cities for ruptured eardrums from exposure to sirens.

Long-term exposure over 85 db can cause hearing loss, but rupturing an eardrum takes a lot higher intensity - 165+ dB. That's a shot from a large caliber weapon from a few feet away. I know it can rupture an eardrum because it ruptured mine (shooting partner emptied his 50 cal Desert Eagle next to me before I got my protection on).

For those who are confused by what we mean by "free training", read this article:

I want to know which US companies are importing Russian plywood.

I really miss the pre-internet days when I'd buy a game, never worrying that the company's server would be offline, that they'd sunset support rendering the game unplayable, harvest my data, or engineer the game to coerce me into buying extras.

Looks like he throws his gun down first, then picks up an RPG and throws it down, causing it to discharge into the ground. We might be seeing one of the many disgruntled Russian conscripts throwing a fatal temper tantrum.

Because the more you get out, the longer it will take to grow back. Extra points if it bleeds, because it might not grow back.

Probably because in a real racing seat there's a harness to keep you from slouching. I used to have terrible lower back issues with a Recaro bucket seat I converted for a desk chair. Never had a problem with it driving for hours when it was in my car (may it rest in pieces). Then it dawned on me that the seatbelt was maintaining my posture. Added a lap belt and the back problems abated.

Definitely not a bot. Not sure how I would disprove it though. Maybe send me pictures of crosswalks?

This video makes me not want to buy anything from Nichia. Nakamura invented a commercially successful product they made billions from, and Nichia rewarded him with nothing.

This might be the Republican plan. Russia breaking the "no nukes in space" rule, so now it's okay to back Ukraine again. They don't lose face, satisfy the large chunk of constituents that support what Ukraine is doing, and make their military donors happy.
