So far, it seems that the charges stem solely from communicating with a student outside of class. Surely, that communication was sexually charged, but "rape" wouldn't seem to apply.

It's the 24th of the month. He's sleeping off his Leqembi.

He won't be elected. The 25th Amendment allows for him to initiate a coup and finish Trump's term.

Ah. I think I misunderstood your question.

Where did I say anyone was buying up shares after the event resolved?

When the event resolves, the platform pays out $1 for each share on the winning side. Shares on the losing side are worthless.

If you have a "yes" and a "no" share, you can join them together and sell them to the platform for $1, before the event resolves. You don't have to wait for the event; you can sell them back at any time.

The next president will be JD Vance, and he will regain a lot of trust by implementing the 25th amendment.

When you start, there are no shares to buy or sell. For a dollar, the market will sell you a "yes" and a "no" share. When the bet matures, one of those shares will be worth a dollar, and the other will be worth nothing. If you keep both shares, you'll get your dollar back, nothing more, nothing less.

You think the bet will resolve to "yes", so you want to sell off your "no" shares. You try to sell them at $0.50, nobody buys. You lower your price to $0.30, and they sell. Now you have $0.30 and a "yes" share that might be worth a dollar in the future.

You see someone is offering to buy "yes" shares for $0.80. If you sell your "yes" share, you'll end up with $1.10 total.

Suppose after a trading back and forth all day, you find yourself with a "yes" share that you've paid $0.40 for. You have a "no" share that you've paid $0.30 for. At any time, you can join those two shares together and sell them back to the market for $1.

I've got no problem with this measure, but it doesn't really address the real issue. Getting the video isn't the problem. Ensuring the video exists is the problem. If the video is known to exist, it can be subpoenaed pretty easily if it is ever needed. But they constantly shut off their body cameras, or "lose" the files before they pull the worst of their illegal shit.

What is really needed is for the body camera to be used as their punch clock. They shouldn't be getting paid unless their camera is running. They should be turning in 40 hours of video for 40 hours of pay. And when an hour suddenly goes missing while they are supposed to be on duty, the sudden absence of video becomes damning evidence when that hour coincides with an accusation of malfeasance.

Bodycam Punchclocks are what we need.

You don't usually think of those other two having their shit together.

African, or European?

Half a cybertruck, duh.

 

I do steady, part time work as a blacksmith, because I love it.

I also work for a hot air balloon ride company, again, because I love it. But, the balloon business is seasonal and weather dependent. We fly about 8 months out of the year, and about half our scheduled flights are canceled due to weather.

I'm looking for one more hobby/gig to do in the off-season or when it's just not flyable.

Something more interesting than DoorDash... I really don't want to go back to that.

 

The Outrageous: Homeowner Lannie Fentress was beaten and arrested for trying to put out a fire in his own home.

The Interesting: A special grand jury assembled to investigate the charges refused to indict Mr. Fentress.

The Amusing: That same grand jury turned around and indicted Police Sgt. DJ Newton, the arresting officer.

 

Gripe #1: From inbox, replying directly to a comment, I get the error "Could not determine post to comment to". I don't have this problem when I am viewing a comment in a post's, thread, only when viewing it from the inbox.

Gripe #2: Tapping the comment in the inbox takes me to the comment thread for the post, but does not take me to the specific comment within that thread. In a long thread, I can't always find the specific comment I am trying to reply to.

Edit: version 0.2.4

Edit2: Gripe #3: haven't figured out how to edit posts within Thunder; had to switch to Connect to make these edits...

 

I am getting this error pretty regularly. I'll see a message in my inbox, and when I tap through to view it in context, it's missing. Can't find a cause or a workaround.
