Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?

I’m sure your comments were as thoughtful as this dumbass meme.

I am not a lawyer but I am a drone operator. Honestly I’m surprised this ruling was as reserved as it is. Once you get above a certain altitude (generally above the usable space above the ground - so not 6 feet but you could argue 50+ feet easily in most single home dwellings) then you are in federally controlled airspace. This is why airplanes and helicopters can travel over your property without trespassing. Same is true for drones, assuming they are high enough to not be in the usable airspace above the ground.

If you think about it this is functionally not that different than using aircraft to spot marijuana fields, etc.

Now I generally am pro-privacy and would be fine if the rules were more restrictive regarding the surveillance end of this but I can imagine it’s hard to find where the right spot is.

In this case though, it’s easy to imagine they were able to photograph the edges of the junkyard without even flying over the property perhaps. I can fly straight up above my home and see into many of my neighbor’s backyards without leaving my property - it’s just how having a high viewpoint works.

making a big deal about it

Maybe I’m wrong but isn’t this sub for posting minor annoyances?

Yeah I think that’s pretty obvious. The problem is that we as citizens can’t really seem to make that happen. A lot are trying and making a lot of noise and yet the politicians and corporations are barreling on down the road. All I’m saying is that if I’m a scientist who has an idea that might help buy time for our species, it might be worth pursuing because I can’t just go snap my fingers and make every city build usable public transportation.

I doubt it will come to this. Instead what they will do is pass laws so that mid level providers can legally practice like physicians. Just make physicians unnecessary. Hospitals love it because PAs are way cheaper to employ. Everyone wins (except for the patient but we don’t need to think about that).

Same for me. I took multiple trips as a young adult where I just took scenery photos. Twenty years later I really regretted not including myself and family in those photos. Think of yourself in the future and skip sharing them online.

I just can’t begin to understand what this is supposed to mean.

Absolutely! That’s one of the many things you are agreeing to when they have you sign the little electronic pad that has no other text on it as “consent to treat you today.” I would have thought that was obvious!

When we piece it all together, we understand the truth: **We are in a totalitarian doomsday cult. **

Why on earth would our elites do this? There are many reasons, but the simplest is because capitalism is unsustainable, and they knew it: Climate change and resource extraction would catch up eventually. So, they never intended to sustain it. They knew all along that they would gobble up all the wealth they could, and then yank the rug out from under us so they could pivot to a hellish fascist dystopia.

Yeah I too think he was likely mentally ill. But damn if this didn’t resonate.

Where do I sign up?

You can also just hold the power and volume up buttons. You don’t actually have to swipe to power off the phone. Just holding those buttons long enough for the “Swipe to power off” to appear on screen will also lock out biometrics and force a PIN.

I’m so glad to have read your criticism as it summed up how I felt about BotW. For context I am NOT a huge Zelda nerd but I played Twilight Princess back in the day and loved it. BotW got such press and rave reviews everywhere I turned that I finally pulled the trigger and bought a Switch just to play it. I played a few hours and was like… I can’t do this it is so boring.

I bought and love the Tomtoc carrying pack which has enough space for earbuds, charger, and cable but isn’t onerous in size. Highly recommend it.

Edit to add that the pack is soft so if not stuffed full it takes up less space than some of the marketing photos suggest. Also it’s nice because it has a stiff, padded baffle inside that is made to fit over the screen and controls to protect them from getting smushed despite the soft pack.

My guess would be that the motive was trying to ensure that the patients who received a transplant there would be successful. In other words, trying to ‘cherry pick’ which patients make it to transplant in order to make their success rate artificially high. Being a transplant surgeon can be very prestigious and if your numbers make you the best of the best…

To be fair I’ve had a similar thought after finishing a couple of games. Both were indie games though and I thought they were underpriced relative to the value that I got out of them. I mostly felt that way because I really really want to encourage good behavior from studios rather than see it all go to microtransactions and subscriptions.

This may be unpopular but I was deeply disappointed in Shawshank Redemption when I read it. The movie is top tier.

Edit: In retrospect this doesn’t really answer your question as you asked about bad movies with a worse book and Shawshank is definitely not a bad film.

Or the law will be conveniently structured in such a way that once again makes it more difficult for people who are minorities or live in urban centers to vote.

This is so exhausting.
