It also says the man is prone and restrained where the image clearly shows he is lying in a supine and restrained position.

Gotta cash out before all the “value” disintegrates…

This is a survey monument vs the original post being a control point. Survey monuments are established on a larger scale.

When you need to reference a known elevation or XY coordinate, there is a network of survey monuments with known coordinates, usually installed and documented by governments. You reference a known location’s elevation and north x west coordinates and then use instrumentation to determine angle changes to transfer the known elevation to a series of other locations.

When you section off property or build things, like roads or buildings, you use this network of points and triangulate paths off of them to the job site by calculating angles and distances. Since you have to maintain line of sight while traversing the distance, you add points you can use to pivot on and travel great distances. These points are called ‘control points’ or ‘benchmarks’.

The main post pic is a control point. Your picture is a survey monument.

You know how much insurance costs on a Ferrari?

…/s. Any Replacements fans out there?

Pre-legislating from the bench. Why don’t we just get rid of the legislative branch and let the judicial branch do whatever it wants? ( …/s)

Didn’t the Kroger CEO just testify that they raised prices above inflation rates because they could, based on supply and demand?

By pointing out high food costs over the last few years, isn’t he saying that unchecked, free-market capitalism is causing the drastic rise in food prices and (he isn’t saying this part) that regulation is what will bring them back down? After all, if you can charge more for a product because of supply/demand, capitalism dictates that is the correct pricing strategy.

Is this an anti-democrat rant or an anti-capitalism rant?

All dance-offs were of the ‘pants off’ varietal.

30,000 / (365*4) = 20.548

More than 20 per day, everyday… for 4 years. That’s more than 1 per hour if you exclude the hours he was sleeping. And factoring in all his time playing golf instead of working, he pretty much didn’t say anything that wasn’t a lie.

That only really works if there are funds to pay for it. These firefighters are making $15 (per the article) for doing hot, labor-intensive work in dangerous environment and conditions. It’s hard to get recruitment numbers up for work like that without good pay. Bonuses can help, but it doesn’t sound like they are paying enough to attract the labor they need.

The article also says retention is hard and one of their biggest problems is the lack of ‘experienced’ firefighters. It’s definitely going to be tough to keep people coming back at pay rates that are less than what minimum wage would be if it had kept up with inflation.

Progressive taxes are not the same as ‘progressive’ in terms of social politics.

Progressive taxes are how our tax brackets work. The more you make, the more you pay. This is them saying private companies will use progressive taxation as their model for pricing goods.

Two for the cooter , one for the pooter…

You absolutely should not be waiting until the next election cycle. You should be voicing your opinion, voting in off-cycle and local elections, and voting for the least harmful option in every election, including the presidential election. It’s a huge machine and voting once every 4 years for the pre-packaged candidate isn’t an effective strategy if you actually want things to change.

Vote for people that make things better in your community, city, county, state, and then think about federal elections. Displacing the trove of do-nothings or detrimental actors in the smaller elections will change sentiment in the parties and will change the candidates they put through in the primaries… but it will take years for that to happen.

Either that or revolution… but that’s going to be a whole lot worse for everyone for a few decades, best case scenario.

… well, yeah… but symptoms can kill you, too.

Article is paywalled. Is this an OTA update or a true recall where you have to take the vehicle in?

There really needs to be a differentiation. I’ve had a Tesla for years and seen about a dozen articles about recalls, but have never had a hardware issue. All of the software issues are updated automatically when I’m on a Wi-Fi network and are usually done way before I hear about the “recall”.

If I need to take my car in for a hardware issue, I want to know as soon as possible.
