Like I said, I was mostly just curious. I’m in San Diego county. Typically here, you have sheriff everywhere except cities with large enough populations or high enough crime rates to justify an actual police department. IMO all the cities that are sheriff are FAR better than any that have PD to be in/live in.
Genuinely curious. Why does a tiny town even have a police department? Why doesn’t the sheriff handle it with the neighboring towns?
It’s not. Somewhere along the way (at least in US) there was a “movement” for “body positivity”, which is great, when applied reasonably. It should be “we all have things we don’t like about ourselves, but so does everyone, so love you”. That’s totally reasonable. That’s healthy. That’s fantastic for younger people who see all the “influencers” and “models” or fashion images, and feel bad about themselves.
What it turned into was “no matter how unhealthy/obese you are, love your body, and be outspoken about it”. So, regardless of being 400lb, incredibly unhealthy, and doing major damage to yourself, love and be proud of your body.
Hell, some of my most formative years were the heroin chic era. It’s equally damaging, in the opposite direction. At least women’s clothing models are looking more and more like “normal” women, in a lot of cases.
Yup. Apple Watch for me. It works mostly seamlessly with the rest of my Apple stuff. I don’t think any others do.
Well, we know that the Jan 6th “protesters” are getting 6 months, or maybe a year. The longest I’ve seen was 18 years to stupid ass Stuart Rhodes. How is what this woman did 9 years worth of time worse?
Not trying to be argumentative, but I can think of quite a few automotive situations where it would be useful. Not for precision parts, like engine, or crash parts. Rather, when you’re modifying an old car, and need a complex spacer, or bracket, that will take forever to hand make, or would be very complicated to weld/fab due to shape constraints.
I read the title of this thread as “YSK that you can edit TILES on Lemmy, unlike Reddit.” I spent far longer than I should trying to figure out wtf tiles were. Yes, I’m dumb.
Rental cars?
I also drive multiple cars, and only one is on the wrong side. So that one’s always fun.
Exactly this. A housed, or unhoused person, can’t use the library 24/7, so why should there be an exception for Wi-Fi at night?
It’s location dependent, but LAPD isn’t any better. At least here in SD, the sheriffs that I’ve dealt with have all seemed to want to be good people, and tried to help.
