This about covers it.

What are some other good canonical collections of folktales outside of Grim?

@wilburston @Oliver_Cooksey @Nirgal451 American here. I have, using credit cards. The number on the machine matches the number on the receipt matches the number on the statement, the sum of which matches the amount I pay.
If the business wants to recapture their fee, they have to add it to the total before tap.

@itskyleconner I'm wondering if this is part of the porsche "nein" for one-pedal driving. Turn off regen, and the PWM gas-pedal isn't as noticeable.
English
Riding in a Lyriq and the driver has a charger at home but his company won’t let him use it?
He had to wake up 1hr early to charge his car at a Supercharger 🤔
Also - we need extra mandatory driver training for any professional driver to use an EV. Pedal control competency is a requirement (I write this on the edge of puking)
Nicest guy in the world and great conversation but I need Dramamine 😅

@jish_fish @kyledcheney No. The linked decision explains why

@kyledcheney Is Figliuzzi going to ask for lawyer's fees from Patel? He should. Patel will continue filling frivolous lawsuits until they get expensive for him.
English
JUST IN: A federal judge has tossed a defamation lawsuit Kash Patel brought against former FBI official / pundit Frank Figliuzzi.
Figliuzzi’s claim that Patel spent more time in nightclubs than at FBI HQ was “rhetorical hyperbole,” the judge rules.

@JenMsft If you replace each word of the bromide one by one, is it still the same saying?

Me: Ship of Prometheus? Ship of Pythagoras? Ship of promiscuous?
Husband: You're so bad with names

@PattyMurray For values of "in check" that mean "removed from office"

The President of the United States cannot threaten genocide.
That kind of erratic behavior is catastrophically dangerous and goes against everything we stand for as Americans.
Congress must put him in check before he ever pushes so close to the brink again.
English
These are the rantings of a bloodthirsty lunatic. It is sick beyond measure to threaten to wipe out an entire civilization.
This is not what the American people want.
It is well past time for the Republican Congress to join Democrats and put an end to this war.
Jonathan Lemire@JonLemire
President Donald Trump is threatening that a “whole civilization will die tonight”

@OrionTanka0716 @DivestSPD Was that rebuttal to your assertion?
Yes.
English
@DivestSPD Was that this case?
No.
Whataboutism is never a good argument.

Given that we are currently at (illegal) war with Iran, neither? It would be a legitimate attack on industrial infrastructure.
A school, OTOH....

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️– Imagine this was the Golden Gate Bridge in California bombed by Iran, wouldn't you call it a war crime or terrorism?

BREAKING: Surveillance cameras like this one would still exist and SPD would still have access to them even if the Mayor were to completely dismantle the RTCC instead of pausing its expansion.
Seattle Police Officers Guild@SPOG1952
🚨BREAKING: An attempted murder at Seattle’s Northgate light rail station—caught on camera. • Not by chance. Not by luck. Because investigators had access to public CCTV. • From those cameras, police can track movement, build timelines, and identify suspects in moments that would otherwise go cold. • Now imagine this case without that footage. That’s exactly what’s at risk. • Seattle’s mayor, @MayorofSeattle’s decision to pause the RTCC program—the very system that gives investigators access to these cameras—means fewer leads, slower arrests, and more criminals walking free. • This isn’t politics. It’s public safety. • The footage shared by @JeremeyHarrisTV shows what’s possible when officers have the right tools. Take those tools away—and cases like this don’t get solved. • Seattle residents deserve better. • Give investigators what they need. Keep CCTV in place. x.com/JeremyHarrisTV…

@PattyMurray Like, I'm a fan of raising the cap.
But, LITERALLY NOBODY makes $1b in -> earned <- income in a single year. Not one body.
English
If you make under $184k, you pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate. Everything after that cap is exempt from the tax.
So if you make $1 million per year, you pay about 2.2%. And it's 0.002% for billionaires.
If we lifted the cap, Social Security could be funded for decades.

@itskyleconner Once again asking poll posters on here to include a ‘See Results’ option so that my insatiable curiosity doesn’t force me to Skew Your Results.
English
Have you noticed capacity fade / degradation on your EV?
Not asking for health tests / battery tracking info - do you *FEEL* the capacity drop from new in your electric car?
Only answer if you've owned your EV for 1+ years 🙏
English
@itskyleconner 2021 M3P, ~17% loss. Yeah, it impacts my driving legs/charging points/etc.
Wife's 2020 Kona EV... Nada. No change I can see yet, and certainly no change that we feel.
English
@itskyleconner Would be interesting to see how old those cars are from the people who say that they feel the range drop.

BMW i3: 440mi of EPA range + 400kW charging = hello new road trip monster ⚡️

Seattle cops are the highest paid in the state and some of the highest paid in the country (as in, the top 99th percentile). SPD's budget is pushing half a billion dollars.
How much more do we need to pay them before they start to act like professionals?
Brock Anderson@KantzBePunny
@DivestSPD If you want professionals you need to pay for professionals or you get the shitshow you got now.
English
However, Harris decided to not just never bring this up, but actively lie about their records and attempt to out-Hawk him. She did this because:
A. She was stupid
B. Democrats have been terrified of looking Weak since at least Kucinich
C. She & her donors support war with Iran.
English
Did you try suggesting to the Harris campaign that she not lie about being the Biggest Iran Hawk Ever at the time?
