Maybe not. Data wasn’t broken down by choice of weapon.

Among children and young people aged 0 – 19 years in the US, COVID-19 ranked eighth among all causes of death; fifth among all disease-related causes of death; and first in deaths caused by infectious or respiratory diseases.

That’s a landlord

This is opposite. I think. The double and triple negatives are getting out of hand. The opportunists are threatening to primary (with billionaire backing) any Republican opposed to Trump.

This is the truth. The point of singling out minorities for the harshest policy is to make their white supporters happier and quieter about being ducked a little less roughly.

This paragraph I don’t understand:

Only the movements in solidarity with Palestinian freedom offered a substantive challenge to the Harris coronation, as it remains the only issue impervious to party influence. To be sure, the absence of a primary for the Democratic Party lessened the ability of progressive forces to push back against Harris galloping rightward.

What does it mean to say the opposition to genocide was “impervious to party influence”?

I do agree the one clear problem was lack of a primary-- that’s the major structural difference from 2020. Without a primary you can’t prove who has the votes and who is voting, it was easy for them to pretend “progressives won’t vote” even though from this article it is clear progressives delivered via in Biden’s election.

Oh, my bad, thanks

That’s not all. Apparently a chemical added to extend tire life (sort of good from an environmental standpoint) turns out to leach into water and kill fish, so…

Neat, almost 3d effect

Landlords are always complaining how hard it is to evict bad tenants or screen new ones, but the way they are willing to ditch long term tenants to chase a few bucks makes clear they are not taking their share of the risk. The long term tenant they already know should be more valuable. In fact, though, I think most of them are just bad at business and think the rules should help them succeed anyway.

Is it 220V? Ever since using an induction burner on a boat I’ve been fantasizing about stove-and-oven-less kitchen.

Florida was a super close call. Most states won’t miss a few votes, or even a lot of votes in some cases. I’m not advising anyone anything, but I know some people will be making this calculation, and I think it may be the only way to get some new cards on the table.

The two parties are not going to figure this out. I think we are in the middle of one of those major shifts in the landscape. Probably still end up with only two, and one of them might keep its name, but it seems to me this country’s leadership has simply outlived its ability to sense the world around it. They’ve patched over all sensory organs with some kind of insider-curated feed.

Oh, funny, I was thinking maybe it was written for two audience with different terminology where one names wind by where it’s going and the other by where it came from. Somehow the truth is more aggravating.

It’s an interesting comparison because it seems to me dueling comes from times and places where personal reputation was much more important to life destiny than now due to a lack of protective legal and other institutional infrastructure that dampens the risks in living and working with strangers.

So maybe any rising sensitivity in the present is due to the feeling that this infrastructure is weakened.

I like your idea, but it just brings to mind how fragile all of our digital media is, not to mention the surrounding tech necessary to read and understand it. What we know works is to press your message to the future, grocery bill, whatever, into clay and then accidentally burn the city down around it – good for millennia.

I wonder if it would take more or less time with auto-complete.

Maybe just an awkward sales agent, or they thought you were mad at them for in their mind trying to help. I decline phone number and zip code all the time. Also been using someone else’s phone number at grocery stores for years – started by mistake. I don’t care about accumulated points or whatever but discounts at grocery store are pretty significant for me.

But I understand your frustration in general. Keep up the good fight :)

I like and fear your answer, but having recently watched a ridiculous number of police homicide interrogations, it seems to me that if you are smart enough to get away with murder you are probably smart enough to avoid it in the first place. A lot of murders are solved with cameras and phone records. Even many sociopaths who you might expect to do better.

Used to be considered simply prudent to back up the vhs tapes you bought and people were encouraged to tape their favorite shows off the tv. Now some random CEO of the month has the right to bury decades worth of creative works?

I feel like with so many cameras they will still find you and it will be more suspicious, but I guess it depends if they can tie you to the victim in some other way.
