Don’t fuck with my shred of optimism please.

Volvo wagons are sexy, with any powertrain!

Gotcha! I’m not great with the intricacies of leasing, but take a quick look at Lucid Air. Their site claims “from” $700-730 monthly for 36 month lease. And they’re supposed to be ridiculously efficient with great range

If that’s not really your jam (I wouldn’t blame you), maybe Hyundai Ioniq 6, Kia EV6, Cadillac Luriq, or Polestar 2, probably with my personal preferences in that order

Or take a walk on the sub-300 mile wild side and pick up a used Taycan wagon!

What’s the upper end of affordable for you?

It gives me hope that enough workers spoke up and were suppressed that it’s newsworthy.

It’s gonna take a hell of a lot more than that, but I hope they organize, if they haven’t already

If a fiber transceiver supports 100 GbE it’s not really sensible to refer to it as 10 GbE.

Also, is it cheaper? I highly doubt it…

My first tech job was somewhere like that.

Never again.

ACAB isn’t just about police brutality though. Isn’t Australia’s surveillance situation pretty bad? I include that sorta stuff.

Also, assuming you aren’t yourself Aboriginal, those folks seem to feel (based on a quick web search) suppressed from speaking out about the violence and harassment they experience from Australian cops.

Just give your answer anyways, you don’t need their permission. I believe that ACAB myself but I’m always eager to read why others agree with me

I believe that all cops are bad.

It doesn’t mean I think every cop is personally bad in their private life. It means that it doesn’t matter how good or bad a cop is as a private individual. As soon as they put on that uniform they become the enforcers of unjust laws, and the enforcers of persecution against minorities, journalists, workers taking collective action, environmental and climate activists, human rights activists…the list goes on.

All cops are bad because the very nature of being a cop overrides any personal merit the cop may otherwise have.

This video by Thought Slime explains quite well what is usually meant by ACAB, and explains what the alternatives are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk5xnEL8mYg

Blatant violence committed by police is not the only reason cops are bad. They are also the enforcers against journalists, worker action, environmental and climate activism, and so on. Even when those folks are behaving entirely lawfully, cops or prosecutors or other government officials just make up bullshit charges to arrest and intimidate folks.

Richard Medhurst is a notable recent example in the UK.

What the fuck camera product is this that attempts to identify stuff like this?

That’s what oncall rotations are for. If you’re not oncall, don’t be available outside your regular working hours

Cucumber! Or red bell pepper

Your cops are bad too

VFR multi. Got through instrument in sim but couldn’t get student loans anymore to go for actual IFR rating or commercial after that

You gotta at least get to the house song!!

Oh yeah, he was pretty thrilled by it!

I forgot about free nights and weekends!
