The Fred Meyer (Kroger) in my neighborhood has 4-5 armed and body armored security guards stationed at the entrance and exits. They ask to check your receipts at the exit and search all your bags.

Its actually illegal to force someone to stop since its not a private club like Costco, so you can just tell them no and keep walking. Thats not well known though so you have stormtroopers checking old ladies papers and searching all their belongings.

Oregon allows off duty officers to moonlight as armed guards so a lot of them are cops from various departments. During the 2020 protests there were a few Federal Protective Service agents patrolling the store.

There were literal swatika wearing Nazis among other far right groups leading the 2014 Euromaiden protests that kicked out the Russian backed president in Ukraine. The leftist groups were anti-protest and also anti-government.

A shocking number of our laws are written by lobbyist. Like you can’t import foreign cars unless they’re the exact model sold in the US or over 25 years old, because of anti competive laws created by automotive lobby’s.

Pepsi has a history in Russia. They once traded the USSR soda in exchange for a fleet of naval ships. IIRC at the time Pepsi had the 4th largest navy in the world. They sold the ships to Norway.

Yeah thats why we make drivers get licenced.

The episode where Bender will explode if he says “Ass” is based of a Phillip K Dick short story.

There’s less stuff to hit in the air.

But why even limit it?

Yeah I’ve ran into this problem a few times now. I use my Occulus Quest on my PC and it needs USB 3.2 cables. The meta branded ones are crazy expensive but I found a third party one for fairly cheap.

I just got a Pixel 7 Pro and it needs a special powerblock to rapid charge. My Samsung block from my S10+ didn’t meet the requirements, I had to go back to the Essential Phones included charger. The USB-C port on my PC’s case is at normal speeds, but the port on the mono charges rapidly.

FYI it was newer by 2 years. I don’t think anyone is complaining about the performance of lightning over USB C, its that people want things to be standardized like everything non-apple is. Apple could have contributed to the USB C research and made a better cable that’s available to everyone, like IBM with the original USB or Phillips with HDMI.

Boo this man. How would limiting the speed of the port affect cost at all?

It was an awesome opening in a public park restroom too

Maybe it was Homelander.

A slow clock is never right.

Jet fuel is one of the few remaining applications of leaded fuel.

Yes that notably cheap Japanese and German labor is going to undercut Boeing.

Steve and crew do amazing work. They seem so genuine compared to 99% of the content on YouTube. Its like the Red Letter Media guys compared to all the other movie review channels.

Maybe its considering the size of the landmass, Maui is about 1.5 times bigger than Lolland.
