Sports bra season, closely followed by yoga pants season.

I used a convection toaster oven in the kitchen.

That fried the circuits of 1/3 of the house. Some amateur electrician tied in several new circuits into the same kitchen breaker. They used undergauged wire on top of it.

Cost us $6k to fix and that was a hell of a deal from some Covid - unemployed union electricians. They put in 3 breakers where there was one before. The electrician had a hell of a time tracking where all the lines came from. That included a 3ft fireball shooter ng out of the wall because a line was love when it shouldn’t have been.

Yes. When they are cops or being hassled by cops. Next question

Also in spite of what we learn on TV, matching a bullet to a gun is mostly junk science.

And how many people are you willing to kill to do that?

The program provides funding for states to build charging stations. As of the beginning of the year, half of states hadn’t even begun to take bids from contractors. Not like Biden can control that.

100% agree with you then.

Y’all need to hear the fable of the boy who cried wolf.

I don’t disagree that silencing protest is bad. It’s just not fascism. Fascists kill dissenters.

Treating protestors like this is the norm (though it always must be fought). It’s how they were treated during Occupy Wall Street. It’s how they were treated during Vietnam and the civil rights fight. Authoritarianism can come from both the left and the right. Fascism is always from the right.

I usually go by Umberto Eco’s Ur-Fascism essay for a definition.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur-Fascism

Suppression of protest would fall under #4 “Disagreement is Treason”. Under fascism it is not enough to silence opposition. They must be treated as enemies of the state and be eradicated.

I’m certainly not defending the silencing of protest. It’s just that all fascism is authoritarian, but not all authoritarianism is fascist. Fascism has a specific definition and it’s a whole other degree of bad.

This isn’t fascism. These people will get a slap on the wrist and be sent home in a day or two. Under fascism these people would never be heard from again.

You could, but who is worried a bear will use their computer?

One of my favorite examples of the difficulty in idiot-proofing things comes from a national park ranger talking about the difficulty of designing a bear-proof garbage can. He said “There is considerable overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans.”

“Man, don’t you know? The law ain’t made to help earthy cats like us. Here on our planet, back in the old days - back in the real old days - it was just every man for himself, scrooblin’ and scrat-scroblin’ for the good stuff, the greenest valleys. And the strongest, meanest men got the best stuff. They got the green valleys and were like ‘The rest of you, y’all scrats get sand.’ And that’s when they made the laws, you see? Once the strong guys got it how they liked it, they said ‘This is fair now, this is the law.’ Once they were winning, they changed the rules up.” —Jake the Dog, Adventure Time, “Ocarina”
