No one said armor prevents any damage at all,
You’re pulling that out of your ass. In fact other posts in this thread are talking about how even without penetration, the distributed force from armor stopping a bullet could still be fatal for a 70+ year old.

Back on the actual topic, Hacksmith made a bespoke suit that could stop small arms with publicly accessible materials for $100k. And all of their testing was at pretty close range.

It is not infeasible for a former President and current candidate’s suit used during outdoor public events like this to have some sort of material to mitigate embedded in it, even if it isn’t obviously won’t provide the same protection as full armor. Every little bit helps.

System is working as intended. Finally a government is not only calling it out but actually has a law to force the issue.

Bankruptcy filing that include monetary judgements should require them to live off minimum wage with all other funds going to the judgment until it is paid completely.

Rudy’s been saying he can’t live on $40k/mo.

The Dem chance at a clean change from Biden to a younger option was last year, not 4 months prior, at least not with how the antiquated US election system works. Changing it now is fucking stupid, the table has been set. People are calling to flip the table because somehow they’re just now realizing that old people are old. This is what the Dem leadership has created, and regardless of their second guessing now it’s what we need to live with.

Just another in a long running series of stupid decisions by Dem leadership over the last 30 years, always shooting themselves in the foot and assuming people will still vote for them. With middling success every time, yet never learning anything because the same old fucks are still running it all somehow.

I don’t see an issue with this, despite how this and other articles are trying to frame this. I’d be more upset if a national labor union wasn’t trying to talk to all political parties and officials. That’s literally their entire purpose, to act as a voice for their members to employers and politicians. Sticking their head in the sand because a party historically hasn’t been helpful doesn’t do anything. Trying to maintain an open dialog despite that history to try and change things is what they should be doing.

Trump historically has been anti-labor, and likely ain’t going to change, but that doesn’t mean you ignore the politician or the party entirely. Or even try to provoke them like some people seem to be advocating they do. That’s just a stupid idea that creates irrational enemies you can’t even talk to anymore, and that’s the last thing you want when trying to lobby for your members.

The Teamsters asked to speak at both conventions, the DNC still hasn’t responded. If anything, this says more about the DNC than many people seem to realize to be honest. Yet again they seem to be assuming certain groups will fall in line behind them just because they’re the only other option. Ignoring things like voter apathy and that there’s a decent chunk of people that only vote out of spite rather than for what they want, and blatantly ignoring their needs means turning a potential undecided or non-voter voters against them instead.

If we’ve learned anything over these last few years, it’s that people are angry and will also vote against their own interests, even in the face of overwhelming evidence. We can’t rely on logic and/or historical results or precedent to predict the future anymore. The old ways simply don’t apply like they used to, that’s been evident in so many polls being wildly inaccurate to election outcomes the last few elections.

Don’t say that so loud.

You’ll have the self-proclaimed “power users” that just copy things they see posted without knowing what it does or possible issues and side effects, doing this and then complaining about issues stemming from it. And never disclosing they did it, blaming it on the system as a whole, ignoring the bypass they did.

Oh wait, this isn’t the Windows community.

Android eventually locks out apps designed for older APIs. I remember reading about a bunch of abandoned apps being dropped from the Play Store for that reason. Not sure if that’s just the Play Store though or if it is the Android OS itself. I haven’t ever kept a phone beyond the manufacturer providing security updates since I actually use my phone for secure things.

Especially when they go out of their way to provide direct APKs to Android users who do not use Play Store.

They already had to make the APK for the Play Store, providing it directly doesn’t require extra dev work.

I just went through training last week and registered with the State of AZ for collecting signatures. There are a ton of ways to accidentally invalidate signatures even if people wanted to sign without being lied to. Those petitions often need almost twice the minimum signatures simply to get past that threshold since so many are invalidated.

First, only registered voters can sign. Each page of signatures is for a specific county and the signature must be on a page for the county where they are registered to vote, not necessarily where the signature is made. A misspelled address will invalidate a signature. Writing or signing outside the boxes will invalidate a signature. And the paperwork needs to be filled out correctly by the collector, or the entire page of signatures is useless. Every page has the ID of the registered petition collector, and if they are with a group, that is tied to the specific group and petition.

I’m sure Nebraska has similar requirements. Some states have even thrown away entire groups of signatures for similar issues like the article. If a collection group is confirmed to have been lying to voters about the petition, all of their collected signatures can be tossed out.

To be fair, if we’re reverse engineering from alien tech, that’s likely what we would use as well.

Not that it’s likely in the first place.

It’s an officially recognized spec, so Apple will ignore it as long as they can. Until they can find a way to make money from it or spin marketing as if it’s some miraculous new invention of theirs, for something that should just be how it’s done.

It’s the DOJ that would determine whether to prosecute. Almost surely there is a policy of not arresting sitting members of Congress, there are valid reasons for this. But if Congress expels him like they should… free game for the DOJ there.

Or… that’s the result of hormonal changes and the brain creating an excuse for the cognitive dissonance that results. It’s an evolutionary trait to further propagation of the species, nothing more. Your mind tricking you into liking something because you created it. The human mind creates fantasies all the damned time typo cope with situations.

In a different context. Your abuser isn’t that bad, they provide for you, give you a place to stay, and clearly care for you, just in their own way. Clearly they actually love you and you need to return those feelings to show your appreciation. The physical abuse is only a small punishment when you misbehave, you deserved it.

Sounds a bit like Stockholm Syndrome.

Take the money then use it for something they are against. And make sure it’s known that’s where the contribution came from.

So the only products that met the budget actually approved by management.

He’s been using it to further his political career and court donations.

Number 3 in many states is legally not rape. In many states rape is legally defined as someone inserting a penis into a vagina. As fucked as that is, often people suggesting changes to the laws to make them more accurate to reality, end up getting vilified as some sort of apologist or predator themselves.

Prosecute him under 18 U.S.C. § 704

The Stolen Valor Act of 2013 amends the federal criminal code to rewrite provisions relating to fraudulent claims about military service to subject to a fine, imprisonment for not more than one year, or both for an individual who, with intent to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit, fraudulently holds himself or herself out to be a recipient of:

• Medal of Honor
• Distinguished Service Cross
• Navy Cross
• Air Force Cross
• Silver Star
• Bronze Star
• Purple Heart
• Combat Action Ribbon
• Combat Infantryman’s Badge
• Combat Action Badge
• Combat Medical Badge
• Combat Action Medal
• Or any replacement or duplicate medal for such medal as authorized by law.

There are a good number of people that actually take the whole “innocent until proven guilty in a court of law” thing all the way to its extreme. Even with glaringly obvious public evidence before that.

It is the foundation of our justice system, as much as some groups are trying to tear it apart, even from within in some cases.
