Do you know where the money went? Sounds like there's a couple hundred grand in cash floating around out there.

She'd have to pay the remaining balance before the bank will release the lien.

Ah, a new spin on the "I'm just asking questions" method of spreading FUD and propaganda.

If that had happened, I'd bet money they would have arrested clinic staff for assaulting an officer or some other bullshit charge. They already do this when police shoot innocent bystanders.

the fact that this is the worst-merchandised franchise in the world is incredibly annoying

I can't agree with this more. It's insane the disparity between ST merch and Star Wars merch. It's like Trek stuff is always the "Wish version" of what the people behind Star Wars are putting out. Lego is a good example, they've put out hundreds of Star Wars sets over decades while Star Trek is relegated to the shitty knockoff Lego-clone companies who think they can charge as much as Lego for what they offer.

I just buy a cheap jumbo pack from Amazon. They're like 15 bucks and last for years which is good enough for me.

Generally because you're buying cheaper ones that aren't built as well. Heat destroys LEDs and the cheap bulbs generally use fewer individual LEDs running at higher power to produce a given output in lumens. More expensive bulbs use more LEDs at lower power to achieve the same light output so that they're not constantly being overdriven and last much longer.

So, if I understand this correctly, this woman is being sued by the state if California for making a list of bad cops using knowledge that she may have obtained prior to her working for the DA's office? Isn't that fucking special. What are they going to do about the bad cops?

Hey, that's how old my baby boy turned today. What a coincidence!

I read that the ballots need to be printed within the next week so this ensures that the measure will be on the ballot in Missouri.

Id like to remind everyone the feds bailed out fucking cruise ships

Are you sure about that?

Also would you support our tax dollars going to cruise ships and/or people like Elon Musk just so that you can buy a brand new car? Why does everyone suddenly think new cars should be affordable for everyone in the country? I make decent money and always buy used because buying new is a losing proposition most of the time.

China isn't trying to save the environment or stop climate change. This is 100% about undercutting the market and putting everyone else out of business so that everyone is reliant on them. They do this all the time in numerous industries. This is the same tactic that US companies like Walmart and Disney do to destroy their competitors too. People like you either refuse to see through the ploy or haven't experienced it enough times to see it coming.

I dunno I haven't really been excited for any of the games released over the last couple years. It seems like nothing but legacy games like COD/Battlefield/Destiny and a few gems like Elden Ring. Most of these big studios seem to be laying off employees or shutting down instead of releasing new games. Part of this is just me being burnt out on gaming, but with so many studios struggling, it seems like it's more than just me feeling like this.
