Ummm … Im sure many many many vibratory films are shot and marketed in Texas … So this law is already unenforceable.

Possession with Intent to Distribute ?

I mean is a weapon of Mass Distraction ?

What is this law ???

Insurance pays out until outcome and not treatment. Meaning of they don’t cure you, insurance will have to cover until you die.

And if they kill you while trying to cure you, every care provider in the chain pays 10-times the cost (total insurance paid by patient over all the years) based on liability to the family else insurance pays 20-times total insurance cost to family.

Woke activists have already said that they are willing to annihilate and scorched-earth and salt-the-fields if DEI ESG woke things arent put front and centre into video games.

So maybe we dont need people who actively hate video games and gamers to be in the video game making industry. The woke can go be part of Hollywood leave the gamers alone.

I’m not even American and I constantly see Lemmy users dunk on me for saying Biden/Harris are corpo dems who don’t have policies most people wanted. That DNC and democrat politicians will be to blame if Drumpf wins.Not voters. Not independents. The Party and the Party Leaders.

Republican voter base is most likely to have the motivation or resources or both to go to the voting booth to vote for Drumpf. All other voters need a convincing reason to lose out their paycheck to go vote at risk of losing their job. Dems and Kamala are to blame. Not the voters.

Obama was and is and always will be a centrist playing the role of a leftist. Romneycare watered down with extreme Republican ramrodding torpedoeing their own policies into Romneycare-lite and Obama still went with it. That’s some of the reasons why people hate hate and really hate corpo dems and their nominees. Either voters get turned off or turned away or turned against.

Kamala and DNC are to blame for this mess.

so-called “gravity batteries” is pretty much exactly a dam with a mini-dam/reservoir at the bottom. When there is an excess, you run the motor to reverse the waterflow to pump uphill into a highe-elevation water retention pond/mini-dam.

This also helps reduce the amount of outflow water “lost” due to high-demand. Since you could take almost a day to fill the bottom reservoir and spend “wind”/solar to pump back the “lost” water downstream back into the higher-level reservoir.

Even if things are inefficient wind/solar are “renewable”, so you can keep “wasting” excess to replenish the dam and still make enough money back ( think in-terms of drought, flooding, windy, sunny, cloudy, etc ) you can basically keep the high-output “system” always topped-up with water. And still supply water + electricity as it is needed. There is no “downside”.

Not everyone agrees. So opinions can differ.

If you use Google Meet or Zoom or some kind of Desktop recording software, you can record yourself talking between blank or paused video while taking the online course and have the transcript + your own voiced notes with the recording as review material + courseware.

If you take the trouble of revisiting , revising, re-note-taking you might end up with better understanding and even self-generated workbook + answers too ( including your mistakes and what is a false trail or false path and the correct approach ) .

Nobody is going to actually care about this except as a gossip item.

Did he use Campaign finances to pay for things ? Did he break the law by misusing and mis-appropriating funds ? Has he done money laundering ?

And most important of all, IS HE GOING TO SPEND TIME IN JAIL FOR ALL HIS CRIMES ?

If its “Rules for thee and not for me” most people are not going to care. They will want to set the world on fire and watch it all burn to the ground.

I hope no one wants to know the private going on of these kinds of deranged people. If they do the crime, they must do the time. Sadly it is rich-get-out-of-jail-free card at play.

Is that Food Reviews- Running on Empty - Report of the Week guy?

Recent warnings about Automatic Cat Litterboxes chewing up cats and munching them to death makes very sad and very bad.

It is important to stay on message and also to do a bit of attack-dog name-calling.

Totally correct for Kamala to do both.

Drumpf is a sad old filthy-rich loser egotist smoocher criminal who never should have been allowed even 10-feet to the Oval Office.

DO NOT F.A.F.O. this election Kamala and the DNC.

It is so vital and crucial to keep campaigning and doing things right.

If you F.A.F.O. kiss goodbye to EVERYTHING. You WILL BEAR THE BLAME.

The social pressure and societal loss of face is very bad in Japan. There has to be a better way.

I think we have to have some context here.

Japan has I believe something called “tenured work position”.

It is literally a guaranteed job for life. The company can’t fire you and usually you will get paid till your retirement whether you work the job decently in your life.

I believe the term is Seisha-In ( https://japan-dev.com/blog/seishain )

In table-tennis / pingpong,

Equipment Junkies.

It is both an insult as well as an addiction/habit.

Amateur and Pro TT players usually have trained from childhood as early as 3 years old tend to have an almost god-like superior ability to learn and relearn in the sport at any age.

But most folks get into TT at an older age around their late-20s.

TT reflexes cannot be gained at the later stages of life. Almost a miracle for an older player to “git gud”.

Hence, you will find the older players have the income to buy equipment used by the Top-10 players in the world. Hence “Equipment Junkie”.

The number of permutations and combinations in TT equipment is crazy for such a “simple” looking sport.

Real problem is when you buy all this expensive stuff and your game gets WORSE not better. You “lend” your equipment to other players and all of them seem to play better than you with your own equipment.

So you spent a lot of money, and don’t want to let anyone touch your equipment ( because it would be embarrassing for them to become “better” players using your stuff while you wallow in misery of not benefitting from your own purchases ).

So EJs tend to have a extremely absurd amount of equipment that they have spent exorbitant prices purchasing and do not want to sell it to others ( again for fear their purchase is fuelling other peoples abilities at their own expense ) but they keep buying the next “Top-10” world TT players latest equipment without even understanding the sport.

It is an endless cycle which continues as more new blood is added to the mix and more EJs end caught up in the craze.

In my opinion,

Magneto being a victim / survivor of Anti-Semitism , has made him have

1. a severe black-and-white justice complex.

2. a severe inferiority complex.

3. a do-or-die / either friend-or-foe complex.

4. a guilt for being powerless to save himself or his parents.

All these things are a complex brew in the psyche of any human being.

It made Prof.X seem somewhat naive or Magneto too brash/risky.

The balance of things either Prof.X or Magneto depending on the scenario plays out. Neither of the results or methods are satisfactory or acceptable but it is a quandary.

No one can predict at the moment of action/in-action where is the correct path.

That is what it means to live your life. Regrets or no-regrets no one can say but you.

Your lived-experience IS NOT a solution for the entire planet or universe. DO NOT apply your solution on others.

Let them live their life.

And that is sometimes very very hard to let-go or adopt.

This is my opinion. You may or may not agree with me. Im good.
