That’s a good idea. The “probably” really is forced. Especially the second one. I think the “punchline” works better if the serious tension isn’t broken early.

I DM’d you an edit I made, removing “probably”.

I thought about posting it here, but I don’t think we should get in the habit of editing people’s coimcs to our liking and sharing them, probably.

Oops, I wasn’t really doing the math as I went

Originally I was adding up to your 10x + a adding in bunch extra for flock, but somepoint my brain switch that 10x to 10%. Oh well, the specific numbers dont really matter.

I think greater responsibility should be placed on the department to encourage firing. If the burden is mostly on the officer, than the department bean counters won’t care as long the officer can write more “valid” tickets to offset the bogus ones.

Its also like if a waiter drops a tray of food on someone causing injury. Who is financially responsible to the injured person, the business or waiter? I think most of would agree that the business is. The business is fully within their rights to fire that waiter, but they can’t withhold pay for the damages. If the business can prove the tray was intentionally thrown, then they can sue the waiter. But, the injured party should never have to talk to the waiter.

Should the be the same for an officer, if they make a mistake it’s on the department to make it right with the affected parties. If the department proves the officer maliciously broke protocol or law, then they can sue them separately. The victim of the officer’s actions should be made “whole” by the department, then the department and officer can figure it out on their own.

Break it down; 2% cop 5% department 25% flock 2x cop 5x department 25x flock

The extra 20 from flock goes back to taxpayers who had to pay the department’s portion.

I tired this recipe, not the same. It’s missing a dash of love.

Poor lad never grew up to be man, died of dysentery.

Just use the pool, all drains go to the same place.

Also if that’s the only toilet, he’s going to finally get there and find an audience member there who finished their businesses long ago, but is sitting there doom scrolling tiktocs until their feet go numb.

“So just because we shop at the same store, we know each other?”

I like lawnchair a lot. Not having news/AI crap constantly loading is defenitaly a plus for battarty.

There’s some knockoff/divided forks, here’s the version I use.

Additionally, NetGaurd is great for locking down what has internet/cell access. It uses VPN, so if you already use that it won’t work, for only 1 VPN can run at a time.

If I wrote a book about Bean Man the super hero, than I should maintain all rights to the concept of Bean Man and the related “characters/world” until I die or put it under public domain. The rights can be inherited by 1 generation, but they have 10 years to do something relevant with it or it falls into public domain. Also if the IP sits unused for 20 years, clear derivatives can be made so long as it’s clear the original creator was not involved.

However, the actual product, the books I write fall into a different category. After 30 years or, 1 year unavailable to legally purchase by an average person*, the books become free to share under a creative common license that does not allow for derivatives, or profit. In other words, the book it self becomes free for everyone but someone can’t take the IP and make a new “Bean Man” story (unless the copyright is no longer in effect).

* if I try some shit like sell it cash only on the 31st of February or charge a absurd price, all of my past and future works will be put into public domain as a “fuck you for being piece of shit”.

Governments are crowd sourcing their problems instead of hiring someone qualified to solve them.

“You were doing that an hour ago.”

Sorry, no. Just a human.

That explains McDonald’s slogan (and their app).

Not sure a user’s brain is secure either. A lot of hacks are through phishing schemes.

A lot of programs have an export button for settings a such. Useful for your launcher and whatever else has a lot of settings.

I don’t like doing a full restore, new phones are a good time to clear old system files and crap.

For syncing stuff, I don’t use most of the default phone folders for docs, music, etc. I make my own for everything, so if some update or app decides to do some shenanigans to those folder none of that is backed up. Only folders I don’t make are downloads and photos, and dcim, which I still backed up.

If you don’t want to deal with a syncthing or something automatic, you could try “Back In Time” on Linux.

It’s early enough in the semester that it may just not be fully processed yet. When I was in school I was able to dump what ever “loan refund” they gave me right into the principle.

I hate they call it a refund, it just means you took out a bigger loan than what the bill actually cost. Calling it a refund makes people think they got free money.

Taking a away the phone during school hours is another band aid.

Practicality, there isn’t a single solution that will stop the shootings, a dozen band aids is better than doing nothing. You can get rid of the phones, could invest that 150k into to the salary of a school therapist, pay teachers more so they aren’t all depressed and overworked. Hire more teachers so classes aren’t 30+, maybe they’d be able to focus on a kid for more than 3 minutes a day. In other words actually fund education.

But sense that none of that is likely to happen this decade,

I don’t like the idea of taking away kids ability to call 911 in an emergency. This isn’t 1980. Classroom phones are an option, but many have switched to voip and rely on some major internet service not being randomly down that day. Supposedly they’d work with 911 no matter what, but I wouldn’t rely on that.

Could switch to dumb phone or set up parental controls to block internet access, and various apps, during school hours, while still allowing phone calls.
