Seattle, too. Not very active.

He’s not old enough to qualify any time soon.

This sort of practice did lead to the recent assassination of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO. That seems fairly collapsed-related.

My husband regularly continues accelerating toward the vehicle in front of us while said vehicle is braking. He also tailgates. It’s terrifying and I rarely let him be the one to drive.

I was wearing Eargasms when I saw the Smashing Pumpkins and I didn’t notice any problem like that.

I was commenting more on the fact that seniority grants higher level positions on committees.

No worries. :-)

Sorry you had a sad day.

Bella for a female and Charlie for a male are the most popular pet names in the US as well.

I must admit, some decade ago, I did name my rabbit Charlie.

Yeah, but I’m not just sharing a face. I’m sharing a legit news article. Anyway, thanks for your work making sure it stays up.

No, and that’s not how assessing flight risk works. I’m not saying that he necessarily isn’t a flight risk. He did have his passport on him. It just sounds like there is the possibility that law enforcement added extra “evidence” so that they could be sure he wouldn’t be let out on bail.

It starts with a video. I just checked and it’s still there.

It’s really helpful to do that before being arrested.

I also use Eargasm earplugs. They work great. You can still hear the music and whoever you’re talking to next to you, but things are just quieter. I’ve even recommended them to my autistic friend who struggles with sound and they were an immediate convert.

Can’t go wrong.

This wouldn’t be nearly as much of a problem if appointments weren’t based on how long someone has been in their position. There’s a strategic disadvantage to voting in newer candidates versus incumbents.

It’s not that weird if you think about it. They could be trying to portray him as a flight risk since he also had his passport.

Well. At least it’s a community that can afford the repairs.

You don’t know that. His grandfather was wealthy. He’s one of, IIRC, 37 grandchildren. That doesn’t mean he is wealthy. Yes, much more privileged than most of us, but that doesn’t mean he was rolling in cash. Even if he was, so what? He was still fighting against an unjust system.

And he disputed in court that that cash was his–notably, while not disputing that the gun was his. I’ll trust an average person over a cop trying to get a big win any day. They plant plenty of false evidence.
