Have you tried taking it anywhere that requires a transfer? Last time I saw, all transfers required going to Union Station. Doesn’t matter if that is the opposite direction of where you want to go. Union Station is (or was) the only option if you were not traveling in a straight line.

All of my knowledge on Los Angeles public transit is about 15 years old. I really do hope that they have improved since then.

I am also just talking about just the Metro rail system. I never attempted any other public transit options in LA.

Los Angeles. No car. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

That city has one of the most dysfunctional and impractical public transit systems I have ever known. Admittedly, I have not experienced many, but it is bad enough for me to believe the conspiracy theory that car manufacturers have influenced city leaders to ensure that cars are mandatory.

The ban also forbids marketers from exaggerating their own influence by, for example, paying for bots to inflate their follower count.

I wonder if “followers” includes users and how that will impact Twitter, Reddit, Facebooky, Instagram, TikTok, etc who use stats like active users to drive ad sales.

As individuals will each have multiple records associated with them, one for each of their previous home addresses, the breach does not expose information about 2.7 billion different people. Furthermore, according to BleepingComputer, some impacted individuals have confirmed that the SSN associated with their info in the data dump is not correct.

Remember when Trump said that the noise from wind turbines caused cancer? The internet remembers.

National Public Data scrapes the personally identifying information of billions of individuals from non-public sources

Honest question: If these sources are non-public, how did National Public Data get access?

Facetious questions: If they are using private or restricted sources of data accumulation on an international scale, should they be calling themselves National Public Data? Seems like Global Private Data would be more fitting.

There is a cerebral palsy anime?

My favorite thing about the internet is hearing questions that I would never think to ask and seeing answers like this.

Thank you for helping to make the internet a bit more interesting.

The young man sporting the white mask and a white hoodie in widely shared video clips is Edan On, a local 18-year-old high school senior, his mother confirmed to CNN, though she later said he denies being at UCLA.

His mother must be so proud 🙄

“Edan went to bully the Palestinian students in the tents at UCLA and played the song that they played to the Nukhba terrorists in prison!” his mother boasted in Hebrew on Facebook, referencing Hamas. She circled an image of him that had been broadcast on the local news.

Oh, I guess that she is.

Let me know if I got this correct.

• Perry drives his car, through a red light, into a crowd of protesters.
• After the collision, Garret Foster approaches the vehicle while legally openly carrying an AK-47
• Perry shoots and kills Foster.
• Perry’s admits that the legal weapon was not being aimed at him. In his own words “I believe he was going to aim it at me … I didn’t want to give him a chance to aim at me, you know.”
• Perry has a history of “racist and inflammatory social media posts”
• Perry’s own defense team admits to him having “psychological issues, including complex post-traumatic stress disorder”

This is who Texas Governor Greg Abbott pushed to be pardoned? Is that correct?

Does China not have debt collection agencies that the credit card companies can sell the debt to?

• he’s adamant that I don’t visit him
• He’s saying that we probably won’t see each other again for at least a year
• We had made plans to move closer to each other, but he recently decided to move in with a friend instead

These are all huge red flags. My guess, from these alone, is that he has moved on (or is ready to), but doesn’t have the courage to tell you directly and is hoping you will either do the breaking up for him or you will just drift away.

Folk is pretentious? It literally means common people, the opposite of pretentiousness. I am thinking that you don’t have much familiarity with the word nor the people that use it. It does not carry the meaning that you seem to think it does.

You are likely hearing /seeing it being used by people raised in an area where that is common vernacular to casually identify a group of people that share a culture.

Does anybody know where they getting the numbers for this claim? I see that they cited “Associated Press and other sources” for the US protest arrest numbers, but no source for Hong Kong protest arrests numbers.

I would like to find some corroboration for this claim and all I can find for Hong Kong is a count of deaths, injuries, arrests, and charges once public protests had effectively ceased.

For others with so many questions about the why of this case…

This ruling allows the independent contractors that deliver goods for a large bakery (Flowers Foods) to be exempt from arbitration requirements under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), and instead take their pay dispute to court.

Hey ladies. How you doin’?

Did you know that heat pumps are often considered a superior method for household heating for several reasons:

1. Energy Efficiency: Heat pumps are highly efficient compared to traditional heating systems like furnaces and boilers. They transfer heat rather than generate it, using electricity to move heat from the outside to the inside (even in cold climates).

2. Dual Functionality: Heat pumps can provide both heating and cooling. This versatility means you only need one system for year-round climate control, rather than separate systems for heating and cooling.

3. Lower Operating Costs: Although the upfront cost of a heat pump can be higher than some other heating systems, the energy savings over time often result in lower overall operating costs.

4. Environmentally Friendly: Heat pumps produce fewer emissions compared to systems that burn fossil fuels for heating. As the electricity grid becomes greener, the environmental benefits of heat pumps increase even further.

5. Safety: Heat pumps do not use combustion to generate heat, which means there is no risk of carbon monoxide leaks or other combustion-related dangers.

6. Long Lifespan: Heat pumps generally have a long lifespan and require minimal maintenance compared to other heating systems, making them a cost-effective choice over time.

7. Quiet Operation: Heat pumps tend to operate more quietly than traditional HVAC systems, making them a more pleasant option for household heating.

8. Consistency: Heat pumps can provide consistent and even heating throughout the home, improving comfort and potentially reducing hot and cold spots.

Overall, heat pumps offer an energy-efficient, versatile, and environmentally friendly way to heat and cool your home.

If you’d like to further explore the benefits of heat pumps over the current, conventional, home environmental control option, I have one installed at my place that I would love to show you.

What do you say? Wanna come over to my place and check out my heat pump?

The Cybertruck’s owners manual does caution against ever washing the truck in direct sunlight, and there is a section expressly mentioning that the truck has to be switched into “Car Wash Mode” before washing to avoid damage to parts of the vehicle.

Da fuq!?

I was thinking more that the documentation provided when registering to vote would be verified, not that a person would be looked up in a large centralized list.

But that was just a guess, the board of elections may just ruberstamp all requests for all I know about their processes.

This is a guess, but I am assuming that when people register to vote (since that is not automatic, but rather an opt-in right in the United States), the person’s information is sent to the local board of elections that can perform a search for the citizenship status of that individual.

I would expect the Arizona to already know if an individual is a citizen or not, so this requirement is more about preventing votes rather than securing the integrity of the voting process.
