As a public servant the op’s post basically describes my past year as well. People with no long term view on an institution completely misread a situation and refused to do any investigation into what was actually going on. The difference i

I drew a poignant yet very off color political cartoon the moment the scandal dropped showing German Sociopath 1940s with a gas chamber, side by side with German Sociopath 2010s with VW TDI’s tailpipe connected to a hose going into the same

It’s going to have severe consequences somewhere down the line as I don’t believe anything nearing the magnitude and density of the coming bankruptcies has ever occurred. That being said I agree it’s meant to be this way, and I will always

Good buy! I have a Sako finnlight 300 WSM and kinda wish I went with the WM just for ease of finding ammo, but the kick on the finnlight is pretty fatiguing as is. Completely pays off in the mountains though, How is 300wm on the tikka lite?

I believe so in some areas, but only because they are using kitchens/ingredients that cost less than restaurants or stores, IE located in bad areas, conditions/treatment worse for cooks, payment less for cooks, etc. Not something

I can say that I see violent posts on facebook every day, and often ones inciting violence. I still see absoloutely no reason to take this stuff down. There is a comment section that people can use to share their thoughts and views, and to

It slightly bothers me that people regularly claim the marijuana of the 1970's was so much weaker than today, for example the statement that the cannabis of the 70s was no stronger than todays hemp. In my neck of the woods there has al

I went to Nevada a few weeks ago from the Bay Area and bought a very clean car at about 60% of what I would have paid for a similar Craigslist listing here in the Bay Area. If you are willing to travel a bit the deals are out there to be ha

I focused on PV in college and the fact is solar is dirty and they haven't planned for end of life recycling. The potential is great and we will get there im sure, but I always thought it was irresponsible to subsidize and widely roll

I have no sympathy for this. I’ve seen Airbnb cause significant housing shortages in my area (tourism town), with the owners taking advantage of the city’s resources without giving anything back. They provide no value (except for undercutti

Uncontrolled detonation or pre-ignition is a problem in ICE not because it creates less force, but rather because it creates more force and at the wrong time. If engines could be made strong enough to remain reliable while operating on deto

I get what you are going for but LA has about 10x more people in general than the Bay Area, and to my knowledge most christians celebrate Easter, not just Catholics.

No one is forcing you to carry a cellphone, and a cellphone really isn’t an inalienable right. There’s a pretty easy solution to this problem if you don’t want to tracked. I’m not in support of what they are doing, but its a bit different t

This is unreasonable. Airbnb operators are often law breaking, unapologetic neighbors, but in this situation they are asking for a bailout? The only way I could get behind this at all is if it is limited to legal, licensed short-term rental

If this isn't expanded to include Sonoma, Napa, and Solano it might as well not even take place, as it will continue to spread and as soon as the order is lifted everyone will be infected again. Really should be the whole state with no
