Yeah, and im not even *necessarily* arguing for being pro-DUI checkpoint.. my thing is i just dont understand the appeal of drinking & driving … i dont drink much anymore, but back when i used to imbibe on the regular, i cant even count how many times i said ‘ok, ill go out and only have a beer, or two’.. and then wind up throwing down 4 or 5.. and id driven to the bar so of course i drove home .. im a fairly self-confident guy, yet i dont trust myself a whole lot to stop at a beer, or two, or even three.. and i know i cant be the only one who’s a terrible judge of when ‘enough is enough .’


If you want true ‘freedom’- to me that would be calling an Uber to start the evening, that way you arent even tempted to drive later and take chances with DUIs and accidents .

It's not about public safety. It's about maximizing revenue pulling over whoever they can at thousands dollars/stop. This is a fundraising activity.

Imagine thinking this was a good use of taxpayer dollars.

All this is going to do is push the state legalization further, and in turn give full legalization across the board when enough states get legal MJ.

Looks like it passed the Senate. This is going to screw a lot of people.

:lol: anything but accountability.

my experience, RSUs that haven’t vested yet are not owned by you and there is no tax implication until they vest and are recognized as ordinary income. Dividends are irrelevant until they vest.

This is my experience. Hard to owe taxes on something that isn't yours or that you aren't receiving income on.

It's California, the motorcycle guy will probably sue the Camry owner and win after he is set free.

Eta: after Cali charges the driver with some obscene charge.

Good technique, I like the throw. He's obviously prior or current BJJ/judo/wrestler and def could have really messed her up if he wanted to.

Personally I think it's great. The mayor has little to no power outside of the city and is somewhat beholden to the governor for a lot of things.

When Mamdani crashes and burns the city the governor will be forced to cast him aside or risk her already perilous position. In fact I don't see a scenario where this doesn't happen.

I see no downside to him getting elected.

For the Apollo missions, it didn't matter if there was damage to the lower stage. Because they used a different engine to get off the moon. Is this somewhat accurate?

This is where SpaceX and NASA are on different ballparks. SLS is meant to go to outer space once per build at the collosal waste of billions of dollars. On top of that it's using technology that's essentially decades old, taking longer than Apollo, and with far less competency.

SpaceX on the other hand is almost entirely re-usable and moving at orders of magnitude faster. I will let you decide which will last longer.
