I've replied to another one of your comments.

There are many reasons why I think you're analysis is misleading.

This infographic has more relevant info from 2023.

Also note that taking calls isn't the only thing the group is responsible for. They do things like needle pickups, homeless outreach, etc additionally, acs doesn't only respond to 911 calls:

While responding to 911 calls is our primary focus, ACS responders will be dispatched through additional methods, including referrals, self- dispatch, and 311 tickets. ACS will also respond to calls from 988, the national behavioral health crisis hotline, when it launches in 2022.

Taking some good news and immediately trying to portray it in a bad light is not exactly the way to push society forward. Actively looking to portray the start of such programs as "inefficient" and being a waste of taxpayer dollars can discourage other such programs from starting, which is a shame especially if the analysis wasn't fully informed.

You've taken their current employee count, as the biggest department of its kind, and assumed they started with that on day 1, which is an unrealistic assumption to make without evidence.

for anyone confused, the company behind magic recently pledged to have sets from all sorts of IP in all competitive formats.

Your legolas can shoot down an Optimus prime, only to be replaced by a wolverine.

Apparently Tesla's on board with this. Their thinking, which I think is correct, is that the rebate benefits other manufacturers more since Tesla is much more established as an EV brand.

Idk what the exact definition of a full lock in is, but if you have to break a window to get someone out I'd think it still qualifies since the locks were all engaged.

Time to justify it by giving your nephew a punch card to YOUR climbing wall!

Do you have any rock climbing gyms near you? Could get a punch card to one.

Terry Pratchett posited that the shortest measurable amount of time is the New York second - the time between the traffic light turning green and the car behind you honking.

It's taken a while for me to get to the point where I'll write a comment, and think "do I really want to kick this potential hornets nest?" And delete the comment.

I find myself having a much better time hanging out and interacting with the folks in the asklemmy communities versus those in political threads.

Important question: sorbet or ice cream/gelato?
