European bison were called bison a thousand years before America was discovered by Europeans and is a very close relative (different species). Buffalo is the name of the African animal that is only distantly related (different genus) and has been called bufalus by Europeans since before America was discovered by those same Europeans.

If you are going to die on a hill, might as well call them by the names given to them by people who lived with them for thousands of years before Europeans came here:

in Arapaho: bii (bison cow), henéécee (bison bull)

in Lakota: pté (bison cow), tȟatȟáŋka (bison bull) - we all know how to pronounce that one, thanks to Dances with Wolves.

If you are on a hill with either a Bison or a Buffalo, the odds of you dying are high.

You do realize, don't you, that the majority of Taiwanese do not want reunification? Well, I mean, they want reunification with their party in power and don't want CCP-controlled reunification.

In one poll, 63% said they would personally fight if China tried to force reunification. In another poll, the VAST majority wanted to maintain the status quo. Some of those want to keep the status quo and decide later, some want to keep it forever, some want to keep it but start moving toward independence. In that poll, only around 2% want reunification now, and only 5% want full independence now. In another poll, 49% wanted full independence and 27% wanted status quo, while only 12% wanted reunification.

So public funds paid for it, and he's saying the public should then pay to see it? I'd be interested to hear what Mikey thinks about the Ohio Open Records Law, specifically where the Ohio Supreme Court said, "all citizens "have a right to as full knowledge of all the official acts of their officers as the officers themselves have, so as to enable them to ascertain whether their officers have performed their duty in such manner as is acceptable to them with a view to determine whether they will continue them in office or not." The court added: [T]he records in the auditor's office are the public records of the people of Hamilton county, bought with their money, kept in a public place built with their money, and in the charge of public officials paid by their money and selected by them. The officials in charge of these books, therefore, can be no other than trustees in possession of property belonging to the people of Hamilton county. "

This is completely untrue. While there might be some streets unable to do this, it is definitely not most.

A) This requires 20A charging, which is lower power draw than a normal electric dryer. Are you super concerned about houses having dryers? What about air conditioners? They pull literally 3 times the power. How can we possibly install air conditioners in every house?!?!

B) The vast majority of these will be used late at night, when most electric draw is at a minimum (like air conditioners and dryers).

Right-wing perspective: because she is using state money to pay her lover who then takes her on vacations, it is in her interests to drag out the case to keep paying her lover more money. This means she will keep dragging Trump through the mud just to keep taking funneling state money to her lover. She had the choice of who to hire as her support team, and she chose to hire someone she is not only sleeping with but also taking nice vacations with who pays for parts of those trips.

Reality: she is paying her share of those vacations and tried to move the case faster than the defendant's lawyers wanted. She has no interest in dragging the case out and all the delays have been on Trump's side.

The real issue: she had to be 100% perfect to take down Trump, and she allowed her personal life to interfere with her professional life. If she had hired someone else or put her relationship on hold, then maaaaaaaaybe Trump would have gone to trial (HAHAHAHAHA, yeah right). If this man was so important to her, then she should have recused herself.

You are 100% correct. My only issue is this didn't happen far enough before the election for it to matter. Now it doesn't matter who the prosecutor is. This is guaranteed to go nowhere.

Is it confirmed that the person didn't get the $50k reward that was posted?

I went to Florida for spring break and remained chaste... sad face

I loved that she said she would probably pistol whip someone instead of shooting them. Just the best response.

I think there is some blame to passed onto for-profit hospital conglomerates. They degrade care to drive down costs to maximize profits. They force doctors to do min-maxing and game theory shit to get bonuses that don't actually help the patients.

I agree that insurance companies are the biggest issue, but let's not absolve the big hospital corporations.

10 years before COVID I had to change primary care doctors because he was scheduled 3 months out. It got way worse after COVID, but the argument about long wait times was always overblown.
