People like it when anyone engages with their history/culture earnestly.
I think in this case you also have the weird juxtaposition of an American in the story of Japan moving to a western style system and leaving their isolationist policies.

- Comment on Gunfire From Deputies Killed Teen Who Had Been Reported Kidnapped, Video Shows 2 months ago:
Even in cases where a suspect is barricaded in a home and has someone hostage, there’s a very real risk of harm to the victim. It’s a miracle when nobody gets hurt, but noone can predict the outcome.
I can predict that a bunch of yahoos opening fire irresponsibly into a hostage situation is cartoon levels of stupid that will lead to outcomes that are “undesirable”.
In this case it is compounded by the fact she was told to walk towards the cops and while doing so was killed. There is no feasible explanation on the actions of the cops, and since you replied to my question with further damnation by saying “they may not have been aware if there was a danger or not.” we can clearly put this down as a boondoggle at best.
A more long term issue is the more and more of these crappy cop reactions to almost any situation happen and are shared, when does it become rational to open fire on cops preemptively? If you are just as likely to get killed by following directions then why not try and take a few with you?
This will not end well for anyone, and the more people make piss poor excuses for poor police behaviour the worse it will be.

Why did they attempt it then? I am sorry but poor choices in when to engage and how are still on the cops here.
All they had to do was not be so trigger happy, people need to be held responsible for the bullets that are coming out of the firearm in their hands.
- Comment on Gunfire From Deputies Killed Teen Who Had Been Reported Kidnapped, Video Shows 2 months ago:
Its not a binary choice and presenting it as such is manipulative. Those cops where there to do what?
If it was to protect the populous then they failed miserably, shooting wildly into the public many times. If it was to save the girl then they failed completely when they murdered her. If it was to show everyone they are in control and had the situation in hand then they failed spectacularly when they made the whole situation into chaos If it was to bring the father to justice for intending to kill his family then they failed tragically when they helped him out by killing his family for him.
The idea that no matter what the cops do its the accused fault is so ass backwards to anyone outside of the USA. These chuckle fucks made a bad situation much worse while showing off their massive incompetence. Hell what would have happen if they all did not show up for work that day?
- Comment on Gunfire From Deputies Killed Teen Who Had Been Reported Kidnapped, Video Shows 2 months ago:
Let’s not lose focus here. The father who kidnapped her is ultimately the one to blame. His actions led to her death.
This is a wild take. These cops (all of them present) are to blame for where the rounds from their firearms go.

Yeah, unless you have really big tires to reduce ground pressure the EV off roaders will always have an issue. On the other hand the torque is great. I think the issue is having EVs that have more power then needed because beating a supercar is funny. If they made a small EV with just enough power for highway driving and good gearing for range you could have a good allrounder. But nope, gotta be giant, heavy and stupid fast.

This thing is like 6600 lbs, and on what look like street tires. Airing down would be great, before this was highcentered. I am also not so keen on getting under that to dig it out.

Its really heavy, and on sand that is all it takes. (well that and spinning the tires for a bit)

Not only do you pump your own gas you also are the one to pay at the pump and deal with any issues that come up.

Oh I am not saying people should be the ones wholly responsible for their retirement portfolio, and congrats for having a competent government pension option. I would love to have access to something better then the market equivalent to roulette.
Hell in Canada the pension plan (that you can not get enough at the moment) got a stunning 1.3% return this year. And unlike other plans you need to pay extra for 40 years to get additional funds at the end (no one I know of even thinks of doing this). And some parts of the county want to spin off there own pension plan (Alberta) even though most expect it to perform worse (due to a smaller investment base and using a bad private firm to run it).

If inflation is as high as it currently is compared to the collected interest it does not matter how much compounding is done, the buying power of that savings will flatline. Add to this equation the need to eat and live now, the amount most put away is minimal and when something comes up even those meager savings are wiped out.
The math in most households is not working out. Debt is becoming peoples rainy day fund, people are unable to even pay their property taxes with the now insufficient government minimum pensions (and a lot of people don’t think these pensions will even be there when they are eligible). This leaves people selling things (reverse mortgage, downsizing, moving to lower COL areas, etc) taking on debt to live now and generally giving up.
If you put away $50 a week for 10 years you end up with (based on a generous average 2% rate) $28,554.34. This seems like a good amount but keep in mind that you put $26,000 into this. That $2554.24 does not beat the loss of buying power over 10 years. You need much closer or better returns vs inflation for this to work in your favour. I was once told that you would be better off buying some raw metal like lead, or copper as the return on simple materials at least keeps up with costs.

Sorry but by that logic there is no point in any investment mechanism. Historically GIC rates have been the oposite of what you claim www.ratehub.ca/blog/the-history-of-gic-rates/ . For example in 1995 GICs paid 7.1% vs the inflation rate of 1.7%.
I think the odd position that it is “mathematically” impossible to have any expectation of return is indicative of our messed up system.
