They still don't have touchscreen support for MacOS. Windows added. Multi-touch sorry in the early 00's. It's absolute insanity

East Cleveland is an interesting place for sure. I have a client there and it's definitely not in great shape. Their city government is definitely failing them in a big way, and they are also heavily impacted by the issue with suburbs in regards to tax revenue that much of metropolitan Cleveland has had to deal with. For those reading who aren't up to speed on things, the city of Cleveland, by total landmass, is pretty small. Cuyahoga county itself is composed of 38 cities, 19 villages, and two townships which means that a lot of different areas grant themselves their own individual tax laws and guess what, they all feel like they are paying too much in taxes. So, they decide themselves that they get lower taxes, problem is, the tax revenue required has not actually decreased at all, in fact, by creating a new local government you have now increased the operating costs of your area. So really by having people move into these smaller suburbs you have really just created special groups of individuals who are wealthier, are a greater stress on county resources, and choose to pay less in taxes essentially bleeding the community dry. If you were to pull up a map of Cuyahoga county you will actually get a pretty good laugh. East Cleveland itself is the only outlier in this situation and it exists itself in a very complicated and sad situation that involves redlining, systemic racism, corporate greed and lack of regulation. Ironically its borders are surrounded by some of the wealthiest communities in the state.

Honestly the part that makes me the most upset about the situation is just how easy it is to solve.

  1. Fingers won't work with that many phalanges, if it were somehow possible it would require massive forearm muscles that would require a large larger carriage to support.
  2. It's neck would be entirely incapable of supporting it's head.
  3. They lack an opposable digit.
  4. So many of the bones lack any kind of rigid support. If this was a real creature it would likely be jelly flopping around.
  5. Mouth is fat too small to be useful and without teeth it would be impossible for it to consume any kind of nourishment to survive.
  6. Limbs seem like they are all of different sizes to each other and the arms and legs appear to be severed, I'm going to guess that someone was just cutting them off and not actually measuring while they made these things.

Okay but what is the motive for them to do this. You are claiming malice but you aren't providing a motive for said malice

Strip mining is all four of those

If research is determining otherwise then what would it take to convince you to accept this?

The thing about open pit mining vs. Underground is, when you are faced with options on how to solve a problem it's very rare that safe, fast, inexpensive, and practical are all in the same choice.

Maybe I'm missing something, what does this advocacy group stand to benefit from banning pitbulls? The NRA is backed by weapons manufacturers. This seems to be people who actually see a problem and are taking actions to help protect people.

And it's all very well cited. Makes sense why an advocacy group exists for this

 

I'm trying to find an episode from some anthology series (my brain wants to say masters of horror but that hasn't helped). Either way it's about Japanese people who live in an apartment complex and for some reason (ghost related) they couldn't leave the apartment complex and it's parking lot. It was an incredibly good episode, may have been subtitled.
