Seriously? Maybe they were from out of town and cross rides aren’t a thing where they are from.
It’s just an extra-wide crosswalk. Literally every driver is required to know what a goddamn crosswalk is!
Quit making car-brained excuses.

Yes, maybe they didn’t know cross rides were a thing
That’s called “being incompetent and unworthy of having a driver’s license.”

HOLY SHIT, RICK MORANIS IS COMING BACK!
(And a bunch of other original cast members too, which is also very cool, but Rick Moranis basically quit acting to be a stay-at-home dad three decades ago and this is the project significant enough to lure him back. It’s gotta be a pretty good script if it’s capable of that!)

*Utilities might not be good to have on autopay just in case you have weird discrepancies. one month I had to pay $1000 for electric. I called before I paid that lol.
Set it up to send e-bills to your bank and automatically push payments, as opposed to giving each creditor your account info and letting them pull payment. With your bank e-bills portal, you should be able to set it up so that it pays whatever the variable bill is up to some limit, and warns you if the bill is unexpectedly large.

If you’ve got a resource for decent in-depth written how-to guides that isn’t buried under a mile-high haystack of SEO-optimized garbage, fuckin’ post the URL for it!
I learn shit in video format because decent info is a lot easier to find.

Half the fucking thread is talking about using them because of worries about a kid running out into traffic.
Quit pretending that a statement has to apply 100% of the time in every possible circumstance in order to be generally true.

People are alluding to it, but not attributing the blame correctly: the “need” to leash kids is yet another negative consequence of car-dependent urban design.

Sometimes I wonder if Firefox actually has low market share, of if this sort of shit just skews the statistics.
I, for one, refuse to spoof my browser because I want them to know Chrome is not as dominant as they think.

Meanwhile a pansexual could have attraction to the exact same people but wouldn’t ascribe it to gender, just individuals
Thanks, that’s the first explanation of the difference that’s actually managed to reduce my confusion.

- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 1 week ago:
Cities in pretty much the entire country are running with an understaffed police force.
Counterpoint: Americans are already overpoliced and the “understaffing” is only relative to the authoritarians’ desire to make us even more so.

All labor unions are good. Police unions are not.
This is because police unions are not labor unions, since police are not labor but rather the enforcers for the owner class.
- Comment on If no government shall bare arms against its own citizens. Then what is happening in LA? 1 week ago:
(arguably, with the caveat that they’re part of a militia, but that’s a whole other discussion).
Arguably, it’s the same discussion. Theoretically, the National Guard is the [organized] militia, and the fact that it’s fighting against the people instead of defending them just goes to show how perverted it’s become from its original purpose.
By the way, I say “[organized]” because the “unorganized militia” is defined as “all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States”
(Yes, you read that right: even the ‘dreamers’ and asylum-seekers the thugs are trying to deport count as militia as long as they’ve declared that they want to become citizens. Also, yes, the definition is sexist and really ought to be updated to be gender-neutral.)
Also by the way, the National Guard/militia is supposed to be under the control of the state governor, not the President. So that’s another way this is fucked up: I would argue that Trump is violating the 2nd Amendment, on to of everything else, by usurping the militia.

Although, that’s an argument that many nations, including the US, have 50 years of data on, and there
isn’t muchis nothing to support that argument. Trickle down economicshasn’t been shown to workhas been conclusively shown to not work.FTFY
- Comment on What did Musk and Trump fall out over? 1 week ago:
A lot of people still buy into trickle down economics despite consistently not working for the several decades we have tried it
It has literally never worked, even over a century ago when it was called “horse and sparrow economics,” and it never will.
- Comment on I can't believe it's necessary to ask the question... 1 week ago:
I almost did a spit take when I saw that huge $9.99 number. Then I realized that it was in CAD and per kg, which works out to be cheaper than it is here in the Southeast US (about $4 USD / lb), LOL!
Still kinda think a pressure cooker is overkill for a tenderloin that would cook up just fine with a dry cooking method (roasting or pan-grilling, like a steak) though. You could save $2 CAD / kg (plus an extra $5 off) getting regular loin and it would turn out just as good in a pressure cooker.
- Comment on I can't believe it's necessary to ask the question... 1 week ago:
“Tenderloin” or just regular “loin?”
Tenderloin is the pig equivalent of filet mignon; IMO it’s too tender to justify the sorts of cooking methods you use to compensate for cheaper, tougher meat.
Seems reasonable for regular loin, though. I’d still usually pick shoulder for low and slow cooking because it works just as well and tends to be cheaper, but sometimes it isn’t.
- Comment on I can't believe it's necessary to ask the question... 1 week ago:
I’m gonna have to try that sometime. At my house, pork shoulder tends to get used for carnitas or pulled-pork barbecue.
