I'm sitting at around half that.

Lots and lots of disabled people, even with disability income. The affordable housing wait list in some major cities is several years.

It's complicated, but no, I don't.

It's Twitter. I refuse to associate it with a letter of the alphabet so I can be reminded of it every time I have to type a word with that letter in it. That was the goal, wasn't it? So pretentious.

The nearest bus stop is an hour away, and it's for interstate transit. 🤷

The place I'm planning to buy a home is so remote that I'm considering a backup car.

I learned how to repair my own vehicles after I was quoted $2,600 to install a $40 part. I could've also had an entire rebuilt engine shipped and swapped it in myself for about half that, but I ultimately decided to go with the $40 + basic tools.

Instead of posting a screenshot and a link, they posted a broken Instagram embed instead. Come on.

Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the maple syrup.

I'm sat down with a republican family member and she curses the television every time Trump starts one of his ridiculous rants instead of answering a question. It's like watching a sports fan lament their favorite team losing.

The DOJ COPS portal also has plenty of other law enforcement guidance material to peruse.

 

The van was listed for sale on GovDeals. I thought the hard hat on the dash was a nice touch.

I recently discovered a company called Flock which apparently is building a massive surveillance network. I came across a reddit post on r/sysadmin where an admin received a request to install a black box device so that law enforcement could access cameras.

This adds some context to the last article posted. I was intrigued by the point made at the end of the article that when the 4th amendment and wiretap laws threatened to get in the way of illegal domestic surveillance, the FBI outsourced those surveillance activities to other countries not bound by those civil rights laws to "launder" the evidence.

 

No usable results on 12ft.io or archive, and pasting the text here would leave out many screenshots which are important for context.
