lol...asking the judge to hold her in contempt so she could grab a few hours of sleep for a change. For me that would be a sign that I'm not going to work there any longer. She should get out and when they can't find anyone to argue the government's side justice will then prevail.

This is a left/right thing?!! WTF? This just a food thing and if you are left/righting it you are a world-class dolt!

Reality check - it's absolutely bizarre that a country you live and work in as a functional member of society would decide that you are now banished to a foreign land that you have no knowledge of. As American, imagine being drop-shipped to a small village in Uzbekistan with no money, clothes or google-translate. This is wicked-fucked up torture.

She waited 72 hours. The last living rescue was less than 24 hours after the flood.

We don't pay government to provide services, we pay government to support political functionaries and their appointed staff in their role as thieves of our taxes.

Small government for (R)'s is no spending on services. Small government for (D)'s is no limits on spending for things we all agree we need (with all of the overhead of the R's).

I guess I would rather have the one where I get some basic level of service from my government but I can't claim to like it.

If you're in your 20's experiencing this you should, frankly, check in to an ER. Old guys like me have some similar issues but not as bad as you are describing. Get some help, son.

I suspect that the same majority of all shareholders of everything except "truth soscial" (I know, not publicly traded) feel the same. The value of diversity is proven and anyone who is against is obviously dumb.

As a long time plex pass user, is there anything there that would make me want to switch? Plex has just plain worked for me for years. mobile apps, everything is just great. Why should I look around?

Another poster suggested a Russian disinformation campaign, I would suggest a more home-grown hate faction that was grown from the poll-watcher contingent. They culled and sifted lists of people that were most likely to "spoil the vote" and had nothing else to do do but harass people.

This is the most horrific thing I have seen in a long time and this the second time I have had to read about something like this. I work for a company that caused this to happen to another family in a different place using different fumigants but it brings me back to that time and I am weeping now.

I wept to my wife when I heard of my company's malfeasance in their failure to ensure that nobody was harmed in that other place. I have since witnessed a top to bottom realignment of priorities in my workplace to focus on safety...too little, too late - they did crime then that to meet profit margins and they still hold that most dear despite lip service to "safety first".

I'm so very sad that this happened again to another family and I hope that the perpetrators (most likely managers pushing production goals) pay a heavy price for their crime. (spoiler alert, at my company the bad guys were not properly punished and I am still salty about that).

The HR department at your company is the company's advocate they are not your advocate.

Streaming videos on my phone using speaker for audio while at the restaurant eating lunch. I figured for sure, everyone would want to get in on that awesome stand-up comedy action or zany talk show that I enjoy with my meal. It turns out that (gasp!) some people even think it's rude...LOL.

Devil's advocate here - as soon as you introduce monetization to the use of a service you have locked in it's potential as an income stream which will inevitably lead to the downside you are afraid of.

Fediverse services being distributed means no central host has to bear the entire weight. I could probably take on all of the server load that I use if I repurposed my PleX server:

This is not about money, it is about control.
