The families of 19 of the victims in the Uvalde elementary school shooting in Texas on Wednesday filed a $500 million federal lawsuit against nearly 100 state police officers who were part of the botched law enforcement response to one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history....
This may come as a shock, but police departments don’t suffer at all. The city has to pay, the incompetent child-murder accomplices won’t get so much as a slap on the wrist. What will happen is every elective service the city provides will disappear for lack of budget. The cowardly officers are laughing at your dumb ass.
Two so far. No closet is deep enough to bury that many skeletons. The first few murders are to slow further whistleblowers, it’s just business to Boeing.
I suspect I'm pretty much the only market for this thing. I can play while in bed, which is where most of switch gaming currently happens. The price is probably reasonable for what it cost them, but they need to explain why anyone besides me would want one.

I wonder if they consulted all of the people their priests raped before spending potential settlement money on this?
Celibate all male priest-hood, yea what an amazing idea. Dipshits. US catholic charities do a better job of actually offering the services that hardline protestant churches don't bother with, but the catholic church abdicated it's moral authority on issues like this when it specifically and cynically sacrificed it's own parishioners to preserve the illusion of a caring and wise church.

“So I asked Jesus, should I do my job or should I hold a nation’s military hostage? Jesus said ‘no comprendo’ and went back to mowing my lawn. That was my sign from god that I should be a useless barnacle instead of doing my so-called job.”
Divorce doesn’t protect your personal bank account. That money doesn’t suddenly becomes yours.
Yes, but no. If you are married and only have joint accounts, you can't do much to prevent the other person from withdrawing from those accounts until you get into see the magistrate. At a minimum, you should have a separate account if you are paid by direct deposit.
I have young kids and I feel like I’ve pretty much become isolated from my friends. The ones that have kids live out of state. My best friends don’t have kids so they usually come to me, but they also have their own lives so I don’t want to bother them. And I can’t really do my hobbies. I knew it would be hard with young...
My friend group fractured and faded because of the divorce, and I was in no shape to function beyond keeping my job. I got the kids back full time after 2 years of absolutely bleak desolation. I focused on the kids and job for the next 10 years. Right now I'm crawling out my isolation a bit, but only a bit. My kids are now grumpy teenagers who can mostly take care of themselves, and I'm left wondering "what now?".
I dunno. Some of the kids activities allowed a bit of socialization around the fringe, but I'm gun shy to the point of not being very willing to engage. Dating probably isn't an option, I've seen things that can't be unseen. I like my work friends a lot, but work friends aren't the same as personal friends. I'm not sure what happens from this point, but I've got options if I have the effort and willingness to pursue them. If.
It's a fun movie, and the musical score is kind of impressive in one very specific way. Do you like musical flourishes? They put flourishes in your flourishes so that you can flourish while you flourish. Er... The score is very unusual, which makes it kind of fun.

Meh, hate the game, not the player. I've spent half a life and my whole career adjacent to MS, my anger about their products and practices has long since turned to cynical acceptance. Yes, they have over stepped the bounds of fairness and good taste many times, but I've seen other vendors do so much worse. If you don't like Microsoft products, advocate for something else. The bottom of the bottle is that Microsoft has a duty to pursue profit for it's shareholders, and some of that will be ugly. These days there are workable alternatives for everything they sell, which wasn't always the case.
I am several months into the self-hosting journey and I feel I have outgrown my Pi 4 B 8GB. I'm only running around 3 dozen containerized services and it seems to struggle to keep up. But I'm not sure of the best bang for my buck. I'd like good, long-term performance, but I don't really have a grand lying around for a Lenovo...
Pretty much this. There is a significant learning curve to kubernetes (or similar, I guess?), but it's a handy skill to be familiar with. If things basically run but with degraded performance on one raspberry, there is no real need for a vertical performance increase. Adding the second will provide almost double capacity, with some HA added for fun.
Then I am curious, how does it work? I don’t think many people are going to claim thirty cents leftover from coffee on their taxes, but walmart is certainly happy to get the benefit if it can.
This does not surprise me, and I'm not even very disappointed. TotK is essentially DLC, more of the same would have felt cheap. TotK gameplay has some new and interesting elements, but it still feels like BotW with extra stuff. And that's fine, I loved BotW.
The heart of BotW was traversing Hyrule, the map was the central puzzle (sometimes even the enemy). Once Link powers up with stamina, abilities, gear, and teleport locations, the game starts feeling empty. Because at the same time as you're powering up, you're removing reasons to have to travel (by completing quests and such) over the map and removing the main challenge.
The first thing I noticed about TotK was how little I had to fight with the terrain. I was still interacting with the map in a fun way, particularly because of vehicles, but it was trivially easy to do. Aside from the depths being locked behind chasms, there isn't anywhere you can't go easily if you want to. I started travelling overland when I didn't have to, but I didn't have to.
If they re-tread this Hyrule again, I hope they do Zelda's Time Sage story. Legend of Zelda without Link's skillset would be a totally different way to interact with the map.
Anyhoo, I'm looking forward to the next version of Hyrule.

Instead Hillary hired the asshole who went after Anita Hill to run her presidential campaign. David Brock is useless. One of many idiot moves Clinton made to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
I guess my cutoff would be actual conversation. Unless they specifically ask to be eaten, ala the bit from Hitchiker's Guide, in which case I guess the sky is the limit.
