Considering the car bill is 126 a month and gas is about 50 every two weeks? The extra 500 I save going toward my own mortgage rather than going 100% into the pocket of a landlord is going much further than you think.

Try sorting a subreddit with loose moderation by new. The current filters work pretty well, but reddit is a cesspool compared to the early days of newsgroups

Oh boy I saw the headline and thought "wait, ga gas station shooting, is that..?"

Yep, it's the one that happened down the street from where I live, oh boy we're reddit famous now. Seems like Columbus is only ever in the news for crime nowadays unfortunately

Before you ask I don't have any extra information about it

He’s being punished for not being able to pay his court fines.

That would be like you being imprisoned for not being able to pay back your credit card bills.

Even if they don't have specific intel, separation of all 3rd party apps and official government communication should be a no brainer.

App exploits exist. Nothing is perfectly sandboxed. In app browsers overwrite generic JavaScript functions.

We are entirely too trusting with our data, and our metadata, and people will choose cute image filters over security every damn time left to their own devices.

That’s a really solid point, and I have no legitimate counter to it. But also the town that has a SARS lab is where a SARS virus originates and we are skeptical it came from the lab, and convinced it was from a wet market? If I show up with a piece of Swedish furniture that we need to build and the instructions have no words only pictures, you’re going to be pretty fucking convinced it’s from IKEA even if I continue to say it’s not.

Geez, want it cleaned up or not? Haz waste worse than this is traveling by truck every day. Got to be hauled away somehow.

You are not forced to drive, nor are you forced to drive an SUV. You can choose to live closer to work, near public transit, etc. The $500 you’re saving on rent or mortgage living further from work is just funding your death machine anyway.

Egypt failed to verify the information they had and yes the Arab troops were in battle formation. Are you saying Israel should have waited to be attacked by three large armies?

Keep it in Ohio! Red states get what they get.

I mean, what the hell did these people expect when they allowed EPA waste disposal sites in their county? Are they usually notified about every single rail car going there?

They treat drug dealing stuff differently than medical debt or a default car loan or mortgage.

96.2% actually seems massively different to me.

With a genome size of ~30 kb and proofreading ability, that's over 1000 SNPs acquired between a hypothetical leak and the sequencing of the wild-type virus. Omicron has > 30 amino acid mutations, so only ~100 SNPs—a whole order of magnitude lower than the link to a lab strain.

Obviously you can't directly compare a virus to a mammal and the generation times are wildly different, but humans and chimps share about 96% of the genome. 96% similarity means things were phylogenetically related at some point, but I'm skeptical that a direct leak would only be 96% similar.

Absolutely not.

This accident will not bankrupt Norfolk, let’s assume they had to purchase in full every single house (which won’t happen) you would be looking at $250M-1B at most, and then let’s say the total clean up cost was $1-2B. And let’s add another $500M-1B for other misc legal fees, damages, political bribes, etc. the total damage your looking at is $2-3B maybe $4B if they are able to squeeze them for every possible thing and the courts slap on additional fines. Heck even if they needed to give $1M per person to cover life long health costs, and other personal damages that would tack on other $4-5B at most.

That would just mean that they would take a loss of profits for 1-2 years. This won’t bankrupt the company or get close to bankrupting the company. And that outcome is likely to never happen, we would never see a company held responsible to this degree, but even if we did they would still be fine in the long run.

As one would expect from a band of mindless psychotics.

Isn't it being trucked?

And will there be any inquiry into whether it actually accomplished anything versus countries which ended mandates much sooner?

Good guess, considering it's an article from the Vancouver Sun.

I'd think notify first responders in every area they pass through. Seems like a small step that could go a long way if something goes wrong.

Yea. Or, you know, given the same punishment as every other person does when they can’t pay their debts. Wage garnishments. Not imprisonment

Infrastructure is fun as hell and I love doing it. But delivery pressure is extremely high and testing is hard so there are usually zero tests and on top of it you have to install a LifeRuiner app on your phone.

If looking down on application devs keeps you answering that pager at 2am to add yet another bandaid on top of your other bandaids, then by all means keep it up.
