Most of the planet probably has more respect for historical artifacts than the British Museum.

That’s what they want. An excuse to legally use the military.

I bet a large portion of those workers voted for him as well.

Probably not. The amounts were talking, and the time frames are pretty big.

A quick search shows statewide retail sales in Q4 2023 was $60.9B. So extrapolating that out, that’s $243.6B for the state in a year. If we assume Charlotte is about 1/5 of the State’s retail footprint, which seems reasonable for the largest city, with over double the population of the 2nd largest… we get $48.7B. Then 1% of those sales comes to $487M. Multiply that by 40 years and you get… $19.4 Billion. And that’s just using numbers I found with a quick Google search and basic math.

Are there more of them… or are they just dumber and get caught more?

It will definitely burst, and might take out some fairly large companies with it. Potentially even one or two tech companies that have been around for decades depending on how large it gets before that burst. One or two companies will end up with the IP all of them are “building” and it will fizzle into the background of daily use just like the previous assistants like Alexa, Cortana, etc. have.

Oh I’m not implying that’s a good thing at all… Thats what the MAGAts seem to believe, they just never get to that last word there, never get to the realization point.

Why did ICE arrest a US citizen? That’s not their jurisdiction. If he did commit an arrestable offense, which is unlikely, local PD should be handling that. Period.

This doesn’t surprise me at all.

At Circle K, the video system in the back uses “police” to access the footage so they can review and make a copy. Not sure if that’s the only access level, wouldn’t be surprised given how old many of those systems still are.

He’s getting rid of the Mexicans taking their job…

The jobs that none of them want to do in the first place…

For wages none of them would accept…

Wait…

Depends on what the jury decides. Did they manage to find 12 people that will consider a sandwich a weapon and completely discount the protest aspect and all current events?

Considering the prosecution doesn’t get to pick the jury, and both sides decided on the jury via voir dire, I doubt it.

That dude is still gonna have to live with all the jokes about him being a little bitch overreacting to a sandwich. His buddies will never let him love that down regardless of the verdict. And that gives me a tiny spark of happiness in these dark times.

To be fair, that’s because of a 1972 law that classifies bread as a staple food with extremely specific requirements. Namely that sugar content is no more than 2% of the flour content, above that is technically a cake legally.

Ignoring the fact that cakes usually have a sugar content of about 35%. The bread is nowhere near actually being cake, no one would actually mistake it for cake, and the courts only classify it that way because of those legal definitions.

That was marketing. The alternative would have been a generic mass simulator, basically just a large block of metal.

The car gets headlines and people remember it. You obviously did.

Every building receives 240V and splits it into a pair of 120V phases. Three phase power is basically only installed at large industrial sites or very specialized shops.

The trial already started… That’s the point of the article. The first paragraph mentions the jury…

A jury trial for a single misdemeanor?

That’s your right. The defendant can choose whether to have a jury or bench trial.

Clearly in this case you want the jury. You want them to look at the ridiculousness of the case and throw it the fuck out regardless of the legality.

They tried for felony charges. Multiple times. The grand juries (plural) refused to indict.

It probably doesn’t have a prewash at all. That’s the only reason the door is needed, to prevent the detergent from being used before the actual wash stage.

Our dishwasher has a bright ass white LED when it’s done and clean. As long as you don’t open the door it’s lit up like the Lighthouse of Alexandria. If you’re opening the door, you need to just empty it. Even with that we have a magnet that says “Hella Clean” on one side and “Dirty AF” on the other, makes people actually want to swap it around since it’s not just a basic boring ass dirty/clean sign.

if they thought it was midterms they should have looked into candidates by now

They did, the media told them who the candidates were, the ads told them who to vote for, and the big name politicians at the federal level told them who they endorsed. Duh. The media wouldn’t tell them about things that don’t affect them at all. /s
