When asking yourself such questions, ask what law(s) might be broken. There are plenty I’m sure, but your PI should know exactly how to stay out of trouble. Unless when, maybe later, it comes out that he was up to shenanigans…
And no, I’m certain no justification is required to contract a PI. Imagine if there was, no one would do the job.
Toad Suck, Arkansas. Got a cool pic at the lock and dam, missed the park and the town itself.
Transylvania, Louisiana. Got a pic of the bat painted on the water tower, but the general store/Post Office was closed, so no souvenirs.
Here comes the Secret Service to practice their core competency. Someone is getting torn a new breathing hole.
Never filed taxes, huh?
The chart explains the tern to mean “head of household”. It’s a tax term explained on your 1040.
Generally, to qualify for head of household filing status, you must be able to claim a qualifying child or qualifying relative as a dependent.
In a typical marriage, either spouse can claim. Naturally, the one who makes the most is wise to claim “head of household”.
I was honestly concerned my daughter might be a sociopath. Then I realized she was just 3.
My dessert, my conspir-racist, my Loom.
By giving law enforcement a heat map of the area they cover, they could see potential crime hotspots in real time through the predictive crime map (PCM). This allows for better allocation of police officers and for more effective coverage.
Oh Jesus Christ. As if beat cops need a map. I assure you, after a month or two on the streets, they know exactly where the bad spots are, down to the blocks and homes. Hell, I’ve seen cops on a first name basis with offenders and constant callers.
Imagine cops asking for this tech, admitting they’re failing at one of the most basic parts of the job. “Really need this chief, we have no idea what’s going on out there!” Or, “This could be an important tool Mr. Mayor. Our street cops are clueless.” If the cops know anything at all, it’s where they’re going to face hassle.
The recidivism prediction is the evil shit here. Aren’t judges already using such systems when sentencing and calculating parole? Some algo assigns numbers to X,Y and Z factors, pops out a score?
Recently started writing fiction and you gave me an idea, not sure how, but you prompted me.
I was thinking on how disgusted I would be with myself trying to “write” fiction with AI. But then I thought, what if I used it to spur ideas, not for compiling the text?
For example, I have a good start on a story, no idea where it’s going, but had to get the first bit down. Figured the next part would jump on me at some point. Creativity is often like that. A young woman has done our narrator wrong, horribly so. What did she do? I’m sure it has something to do with sex, but I’m stumped. AI might kick my imagination in gear. Hmmm…
This is why they say one must get kids exposed to The Word as young as possible. Read a quote years ago about how a 30-yo man, having never heard of Christ, would be aghast if you tried to push Christian Bible stories on him. He would think you were bugfuck.
“Really Havelock, why do you suffer such a fool on the city payroll?”
“My dear Margolotta, for the pittance I pay the man, he does the work of 10 others. Fool he may be, but he is an accurate fool.”
You made me remember! Yes, this was on a HUGE TV, probably 70", and that in a time when those were insanely expensive, had never seen one in a home. It was like the house walls in Fahrenheit 451.
“Come look! The White Clown is talking!”
An LSD party back in college taught me a thing I’ll never forget. There were 3 TVs in the living room and my best friend and I were tripping balls. He pulls me over to where I can see all 3 screens.
He said, “Notice who the number of people watching is directly proportional to the size of the screen?”
Mind. Blown.
Illegal only as of 2024. But still, it wasn’t a widespread thing.
Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.
So in this case you’re saying concert tickets are a right that the government must enforce?
I keep saying things like this on lemmy and catching hate.
“Video games companies are fucking us!”
“Have you considered not buying their games?”
“FUCK YOOOUUUU!”
If I have a non-essential product, I’m selling it for every penny I can wrench out of the public (idiots). Hell, even with food you got options. I’m on the edge of a little redneck suburb and have 7 grocery stores within 10-miles. I vote with my wallet at the rundown places that are half the price of Publix. I won’t begrudge Publix’s ludicrous pricing, I just won’t go.
Hey guys: If you are paying for this shit, you are the problem, not the system.
I was about 6 when this animal launched. That state of technology was in the stone ages compared to today. Imagine the effort and genius than went into this probe!
The RTG also keeps the electronics warm enough to operate.
Thanks for the article! I have a vague memory of that thing launching and can’t believe it is in any way operational. And I certainly never thought there would be any fuel left!
Nothing I’ve read has ever explained Trump’s appeal like this article.

Nothing in there makes a cute soundbite. “They’re racist!”, is far easier than having to digest what the author lays down.
Seriously, read it. It’s important.
This motivated me to, once again, try to find “Colin”. Lowest budget movie ever I would think. 200£? It’s a zombie movie shown from the zombie’s point of view. Seems like it had a great ending, been years since I’ve watched.

Neither the MP4 nor AVI look great, but seems the MP4 is the winner. Anyone have a better copy?
