@AlecMacGillis You know, if it helped him keep his job and continue to make money & be employable into the future...you do what you have to do. He likely set his family up for a lot more stability & hopefully she was on the same page- it's a sacrifice you both make for sure.

@BowTiedBroke Get them the car with the most advanced nanny state ass safety features as humanly possible. Leading cause of death of teens is car crashes, no retarded lesson of humility or sigma grind bullshit is worth their lives.

Need some car advice from parents. Third daughter just hit 16 & looking for a car for her. Got my 1st daughter a used Camry when she turned 16 years ago. Was a great car. Second daughter - used Kia Forte. Decent car. Now number 3. For parents of teenagers that have hit the driving years..what are some cars that you’ve been thrilled with that were reasonable in price but also had good safety features? Leaning to a Camry or Corolla but wanted to hear some other experiences with vehicles and teen drivers.

How is him saying to a mom-and-pop bodega owner “well if you can’t cut it maybe you shouldn’t be in business” any different than saying to a New York renter complaining about a rent increase “yeah well if you can’t afford your rent maybe you shouldn’t live in NYC”?
Steve Scalise@SteveScalise
“Maybe they shouldn’t have been in that business in the first place.” That’s how the co-chair of New York’s Socialist Party responded to concerns that a state-run grocery store could force a locally owned business to close. So much for the “warmth of collectivism.”

Imagine being a law abiding citizen and you’re afraid of cameras on public property. Whats next, tearing down the boards that tell you you’re speeding?

@Icarus_Actual @RiskyChrisky @WagonBurnConcpt Idk man I feel like the same over penetration concerns (my main one tbh) exist in public as well. A 556 round rips through someone and goes down a city block is just as bad for you legally as in your home. Ditto for the flash and sound issues as well, lesser extent for sure tho.
English
@tmulpuri @RiskyChrisky @WagonBurnConcpt i’m not so concerned about people with plates, i think about PCCs in a non boog way where i’m thinking about it for self defense. i would say a PCC is a lot better for home defense because the flash and concussion are significantly less
English
I don’t care what anyone says…
PCC’s are cool and I like them. Fight me.

But I’m overreacting because I oppose Flock cameras.
Mrgunsngear@Mrgunsngear
A FOIA request revealed that, in just one town, 3rd parties (credit card companies, cell phone companies, alphabet agencies, retailers, foreign governments, etc...) accessed camera data more than 500,000 times in a 9 week period. "Flock Safety could not guarantee that it's not sharing information with federal agencies." No shit. Several municipalities in CT are "turning off" their Flock cameras in response to what one FOIA request revealed. The problem - the towns don't control/own the cameras nor the data they collect so they can't turn them off. They can instruct their employees to not access them but Flock, a private company funded *almost exclusively* (outside of people like Marc Andreessen & his ilk) by taxpayer dollars, owns the devices and the data. Plan accordingly... #rural #CT #police #crime #PoliceState #4thAmendment #14thAmendment #CivilRights #ALPR #cops #stalking #women #windsor #flock #SurveillanceState

Fox News’ Martha MacCallum: “Your family came here from Peru really in the middle of the heat of the Shining Path. They were Maoist communist guerrillas in Peru. So why did your family come to America?”
New York City DSA co-chair Gustavo Gordillo: “The economic situation in South America and Peru was in a really bad place… much of what we could say was responsible for that actually was the imposition of capitalism and American imperialism. In many cases, it is actually what brings immigrants to the U.S. coming out of Latin America.”
Martha MacCallum: “They come here because they don’t like the imposition of American imperialism in the country that they’re in.”
Gustavo Gordillo: “Yes…”
Martha MacCallum: “That doesn’t make much sense.”

@RiskyChrisky @WagonBurnConcpt @Icarus_Actual Cheap to train with, low recoil, generally portable. Idk why anyone thinks pcc’s aren’t relevant for civilians. Too many people acting like they might get into a gunfight with a criminal in level 4 plates lmao.

BREAKING: South Carolina bans tattoo studios within 1,000 feet of any church, school, or playground — a rule so broad it wipes out most of the state. And the state criminalized tattooing anyone’s head, face, or neck. We're challenging these on First Amendment grounds.

I was priced out of the housing market, but then in Q1 2020 on the edge of COVID lockdowns I took every penny I could get my hands on to buy puts on hotel and airline stocks then flipped that for a house at 2.7% interest.
Now this is me.

By the way, Judge VanDyke's dissental here is reason #5743855 he should be Justice VanDyke.
Kostas Moros@MorosKostas
VanDyke states the obvious truth: the Ninth Circuit is not a court operating in good faith on the Second Amendment. They can whine about him all they want, they can't rebut the facts here. With the sole exception of Nguyen v Bonta, the Ninth Circuit has NEVER sided with Second Amendment plaintiffs. When they have, they have reversed it en banc, EVERY time. Judge VanDyke is absolutely right that the Supreme Court needs to punish the Ninth Circuit with constant policing.

@AqueductCRE @awerhun Yep, by day 6 I can literally feel myself loosing grip strength and even basic things like flexing fingers/hands starts to ache. Its an insane feeling to feel your body dying in real time.

@awerhun When I worked in biglaw, if I had multiple nights staying up 2am in a row, I would literally start to get sick by the end of the week. That's the primary reason I quit.

36 hours pre-Closing and tons of items not final form:
First-time acquirer: “no way this can get done in time; roll out Closing one week.”
Clients who have closed many deals and seen M&A lawyers: “lawyers can wrap this up overnight.”

Today, we’re announcing that we’ve raised $115 million in funding, including a $100M Series A led by @kleinerperkins. America has lost the ability to build, and we’re here to restore it. My co-founder, @NoahMcGuinn, and I left our jobs at @SpaceX , where we worked on programs including Starship, Starshield, and @Starlink, to build a company that will solve construction’s greatest challenges. Infrastructure is the foundation of civilization, and construction is the precursor to innovation. If America wants to build a brighter future for the next generation, we have to make it faster, cheaper, and safer to build. That’s where @TerraFirma_Inc comes in. We’re a new type of company, a robotic construction company that builds the full technology stack needed to deliver an order-of-magnitude improvement in one of the world’s oldest, largest, most important, but least efficient industries. We are building technology that expands what’s possible in construction on Earth, and then we'll use that same technology to build megastructures and colonies on the Moon and Mars. We’ve made tremendous progress over the past year, growing the company more than 10x in the last 12 months. We are performing projects across the world. By the end of October 2026, we are on track to operate 3 of the top 3 largest robotic construction fleets in the world, each on a different continent, bringing unprecedented speed, scale, and efficiency to some of the world’s most complex critical infrastructure projects. This funding will allow us to step on the gas and scale our manufacturing, software, operations, and construction deployments, including work on massive commercial and government contracts. We’re building the future of construction right here in Austin, Texas, and scaling it globally. If you want to be part of the team changing the world, now and on Mars, join us. Our Series A was led by Kleiner Perkins, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures, Glade Brook Capital Partners, BANNER VC, Saga Ventures, Trust Ventures, Definition, PEAK6, Magnetar Capital, and Ravelin Capital. Huge thanks to all of our angel investors, friends, and family who have helped and supported us throughout this journey. Apply here: jobs.ashbyhq.com/TerraFirma-Inc…

This is exactly what I did, it was an SRO for me. I just said, "hey these are regulated firearms components, I'll have to report this to the ATF as possible diversion risks if we can't find it in 24 hours."
Immediately got me transferred to the local distribution center and found within 12 hours.
