That honestly seems the most likely give me a lack of information about arrests or needed medical attention.
She was 15 when she disappeared, not 5. That’s definitely old enough to actually make an informed decision to leave. If her home life was bad, not wanting anything to do with returning and actively avoiding any sort of situation that could result in that. It is entirely possible that running away from home was in fact the best option for her.
But if you have a constellation of thousands of LEO communications satellites to leverage…
Agreed, licensing for anything like that in game should be required to be permanent. Only exception I can possibly think of is live service games where the content cycles out of availability.
She’s been in that since 1997. That’s nearly 30 years in a safe Dem district (D+29). She thought she was untouchable.
That’s some pretty terrible assumption skills you got there, mate. I’ve seen stormtroopers with better precision than you.
My assumption skills? You seem to have completely missed the point the scenes in Star Wars, despite there being quite a bit of evidence against that belief. Some people just want to believe misinformation when it reinforces what they want to believe, especially if it’s funny or seems to mean there’s a plot hole or error in a film. Star Wars has plenty of those… Stormtrooper aim isn’t one of them.
Grand Moff Tarkin and Darth Vader have a scene discussing letting them escape, because they planted a homing beacon on the Millenium Falcon. The Stormtroopers are avoiding hitting them specifically so the Millenium Falcon can escape and the Empire can follow it back to the Rebel base. Tarkin literally says he’s taking a risk, so he clearly instructed them to let the prisoners escape.

And that doesn’t even take into account several other comments from people through the films about Stormtrooper aim, including from Obi Wan who obviously was a General in the Republic Army and ostensibly knows what he’s talking about, and ignoring several scenes across the movies and shows where the Stormtroopers do fire accurately.
Actually, many towers (maybe even most now with how dense small cells need to be) are not actually owned by the carriers. They are owned by independent companies and leased to the carriers, or the carriers lease space on an existing pole or building to mount their panels. If you’ve ever looked at a cell tower and seem multiple levels of panels… that’s almost surely not owned by a carrier. It’s most likely owned by something like American Tower Corporation, Crown Castle, or SBA Communications, and they lease physical space on that site to various carriers and other users. Line-of-site microwave connections also make use of towers quite heavily to relay direct wireless connections.
A lot of churches also lease space on or even inside their steeples/stowers.
And then there’s also the small cells that can get installed basically anywhere… and often get installed on things like light posts which are owned by local governments.
We don’t have a mechanism to say “wait wait hey who the fuck do you think you are?” To supreme court justices.
Congress can impeach Justices just like the President. Samuel Chase was impeached in 1804. The only SC Justice to ever be impeached.
This should have been an immediate action when the Supreme Court effectively determined that AI works are uncopyrightable back in March. If you can’t have a copyright… you don’t own it and it shouldn’t be monetizeable by definition.

I mean, it’s a legal requirement for DUI drivers to be able to still drive now… doesn’t stop them from making terrible hardware. Granted, that’s a very tiny market so no real incentive for competition to drive quality either.
Good in theory, except the entire breathalyzer industry is terrible hardware. Intentionally. No one gives a shit about DUI drivers. So the companies have no reason to make good products.
Don’t forget that part of the merger was Dish buying Boost Mobile with the supposed intent to build their own network. Which anyone actually paying attention knew would never actually happen. Dish Network says a lot of shit, and follows through with basically none of it.
On July 1, 2020, Dish Network officially purchased Boost Mobile per their agreement with the companies and the United States’ Department of Justice. The purchase was valued at $1.4B and transferred 9.3 million customers.[67] The intent of the US government was for Dish to erect a new nationwide wireless mobile network in order to compensate for reduced competition following the Sprint–T-Mobile merger.[citation needed]
However, in the years following the transaction Dish failed to sufficiently grow Boost Mobile’s subscriber base and in 2025 announced that it will decommission its 5G network infrastructure, sell most of its wireless spectrum assets to AT&T, and shift Boost Mobile’s operating model from a facilities-based network to a mobile virtual network, with its subscribers being hosted on AT&T’s wireless network.[68]
T-Mobile followed the timeframe they agreed to for the merger to be approved, which was very public.
On March 11, 2020, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced he will not appeal the judge’s decision made during the previous month to reject the state AGs’ lawsuit against the T-Mobile-Sprint merger. He, instead, struck a settlement with the defending parties. The terms of the settlement include making its low-cost T-Mobile Connect plans available in California for at least 5 years, that T-Mobile customers can keep their T-Mobile plans held in February 2019 for a total of five years …
Hmm… 2020 plus 5 years is… 2025… would you look at the calendar.
Dark Star… Hmm…
It was even blown up once before with the breakup of Ma Bell.
They did, but even beyond that, the other alternatives mentioned in this thread are MVNOs that still use T-Mobile’s network (usually with a lower priority compared to direct customers, not usually an issue unless there’s congestion). You’re still paying T-Mobile, just indirectly. MVNOs buy in bulk and try to offer options that split that bulk usage up in ways different to the big carriers to target smaller more specific demographics.
Go ahead and take a look at the vegan communities around the fediverse, don’t even need to go to the Reddit cesspool, they come along with everyone else… and let me know if they look like they’re not serious about that type of thing.
This show is feeling relevant every single day now.
He also went straight to a similar company in another executive position after he was out. There’s definitely no way he continued to do the exact same thing at the other company he went to. No way at all.
They were caught doing this before, weren’t given any REAL reprocussions.
Hey wait, but some executives were jailed the first time. They’re out now of course. And the penalties were a small fraction of the profits. And they’re now working at different but similar companies in executive positions again.
But they totally learned their lessons. Totally.
Would be a shame if this ended up in the water supply
It certainly would. It’s not a meat allergy, it’s an alpha-galactose allergy. Alpha-gal is present in all foods and ingredients made from beef, pork, lamb, venison, rabbit, and other mammal sources, including gelatin and milk. Certain seaweeds also contain alpha-gal, along with most Vegan product alternatives. Alpha-gal is found worldwide among the inactive ingredients and materials of medications and healthcare products, and it is generally not required to be labelled.
Based on the snarky tone, I have to assume you’re one of the vocal vegans that people hate because of the superiority complex that exudes from even simple comments like this. You should probably do a basic amount of research before commenting and proving you haven’t done any.
The US Marshals need to be moved under the Judicial branch to enforce decisions since the Executive branch refuses to.
You’re ranting about tipping culture and tipping wages… Which isn’t the issue here.
Did you miss the part saying the customer walked out on the check? They didn’t pay for anything. That is textbook theft of services.
