I am surprised also, the only person I know that uses one is an old cowboy that got hit by a truck 45 years ago and has mobility issues. He has a long wooden one, possibly designed for riding boots.

I have a picture but it's pretty grainy.

My exact thoughts of playing sports in the 90s. I never saw this one then but would have gotten it on a shirt instead of the school for the gifted one.

The first version (or I guess second? It's called V2) has been available on google play for many years as mentioned by @Jrockwar@feddit.uk but isn't updated anymore. I have a Pixel 3a so still use it but this new one is not the first release or anything.

We saw this after 9/11 in the US. Most folks don't care about issues, only about looking as if they do. It isn't anything new, just continued consumerism to represent the politics people want to wear on their sleeve.

Good. There is scarcely any reason to change rules late in the game. To do so serves only one purpose, and it isn't honest.

When I worked for Walmart 25 or so years ago, they supposedly had something like this, but it manifested as us worrying about getting in trouble. Not sure if that was legit but I was pretty young and didn't interact with them.

The waffle house I ate at, they did have higher ups come in, and they had to serve and what not. The folks working there seemed to like it but idk I just was a regular, never officially worked.

I get it not everyone has the ... experience

This is really what it boils down to. I never had this issue as a mechanic, but I didn't generally use pinch welds as a jack point. Most vehicles have numerous options for using a floor jack. You could use a control arm, or cross member, or sometimes a drivetrain component. Additionally, sometimes the pinch weld has a designated spot for jacking that seems to be reinforced.

Maybe what you are saying only applies to newer vehicles and I am out of date. Totally possible! I did not experience this 10+ years ago, tho. Only on exceptionally rusty cars that the driver would be challenged to install thr spare on the side of the road.

I read a different article, but my suspicion is that they expect more clarity to come out of further lower court action. I still think they will block it, but maybe they dont see any impact on the election or critical importance now forcing them to act. I'm not sure. I doubt they care about grandkids but am sure you know that 🙂

Found the Aussie? My dad referred to water bottle holders as thongs.

I'm not sure if it applies to journalism, but when I do things like write reports about medicals I was involved in, I write like that. Usually because that person goes on to definitive care and I don't know how they fared. Patient was found in this location, services were called, patient was transported to hospital. It feels robotic, but idk how best to handle it.

I dont like that voting third party in the US is essentially a non-vote for a party in the "system," but it is. I voted green party in the past, and ended up regretting it. And relavent to Stein, not a good person, or even party, to vote for now. Folks need to be active, and vote down ballot, and in "off cycle" years. Change takes time, the best way to be heard is through the down ballot when helpful.
