Different numbers. One is cars stolen/population. The other is cars stolen/registered cars.


What prevents you putting a dish up on a pole/post to get a signal?


I would have to go 100 feet up just to get out of tree cover. My backyard has a stream that created a valley on either side. To get past the trees at the top of the little valley I’d have to go another 100 feet. If the coverage area was a 360 degree circle around my house I’d have less than 90 degrees of clear sky. If the leaves are on the trees it less than that.


Not related, but your place sounds beautiful


If Russia is willing to use nukes over Ukraine, what makes you think it won't end in nukes any how? There is no way Ukraine is the stopping point if they are willing to use nukes to secure Ukraine.


Exactly. This reminds me Munich Agreement. Hitler got Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia because west was afraid of war. And yet he still started the war. It was even easier for him because Czechoslovakia was without system of border fortifications.

This is what Putin wants now. Defenseless Central and Eastern Europe. If he wants this agreement he needs to sacrifice something as well, so we have guarantees. He needs to get rid of nukes.


No, 3rd gen for bendable screens is still preview stage. I would consider 5th gen pre-production. It really won't be mainstream until 8+.


> We can argue the whole day, but this is not a tailored fee as is not build based on my personal behavior.

You can argue all day, but it doesn't change the fact your main argument was you would no longer be charged based on facts but assumptions. The current method is largely based on assumption. Using actual data on your driving is not an assumption.

It may not have been your intention but that is how you wrote it. Two statements about no longer being charged based on facts, but on assumptions. One comment linking using your actual driving data as "assumption".


> welcome to the era of tailored fees based on assumptions rather than facts. > It used to be that you'd get a high insurance fee only if you cause incidents or damage.

> There are factors such as driver experience, age

So making assumptions based on "driver experience" and age is not making assumptions?


Is not a tailored assumption. If you can't see the problem I can keep pointing you to the moon the whole day, but you will still look at the finger.


> And most of the respectable news organisations still abide by the core tenets of journalism e.g. multiple, vetted sources.

And which ones are those?


The ones that don't claim that no reasonable person would take them seriously when someone sues them for defamation (Fox has done this multiple times).


Every opinion host out there uses this defense when the inevitable suit is levied.

> many of them armed

I haven't heard of more than 5 firearms. No mention of where those were. Videos I have seen just show flags, signs, cameras, and mobile phones. What were these "many" armed with?


Pipe bombs, molotov cocktails, mace, plenty of arms other than firearms. This article has some links to more info: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/one-of-the-trump-sup...

It'll be simplest to watch the AG charge people, since they only file those charges if they're confident in a successful prosecution. Charges will probably be trickling in for months as they identify the insurrectionists.


One guy rolled up with a truck off molotov cocktails and firearms. Several IEDs were discovered and detonated by bomb squads.


So one guy is now many?


Nine firearms plus one long gun, one container of molotovs, several pipe bombs, and two IEDs were seized by police. Additionally several released chemical agents at police. One beat a police officer to death with a fire extinguisher. One was photographed with a set of zip tie restraints.

And that's just what was captured obviously. Presumably for everything found there were several more things concealed.


Is the guy in custody? Who is he? What's his background?


[flagged]


I'm not aware of a truckload of molotov cocktails, or IEDs in CHOP.

In either case, that's whataboutism. If the same thing happened in CHOP, yes, it would also be bad. Are you seriously suggesting this is acceptable behavior?


Aren't they claiming Assange participated in some way? Either by providing help or suggesting what to get?


The World HEALTH Organization? Not someone I would look to about whether destroying property is considered violence.


Crimes in general are often considered through an epidemiological lens, and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime is under the purview of the WHO.
