Which one of their Gomer Pyle's had a negligent discharge and now they're blaming it on random people?

A tip is absolutely not "more than a hunch". I can't recall all the finer details about what elevates a tip from essentially "random gossip" to RAS or even PC, but it's not as simple as cops receive a tip means they can search you.

Different levels of search. A "weapons pat down" does not constitute a search requiring a warrant or probable cause. Even then a weapons pat down can only be initiated on a detained or arrested person. The former simply requires "reasonable and articulable suspicion" that crime is afoot. That's a lower bar than probable cause but should be more than just a hunch.

Because it was found by people in society. It was given value within an established society. I'm not saying no one will value it. I'm saying that until there is an established society, it won't hold value. Then if you do end up in a society, you need to sway them to adopt gold as a currency while keeping your gold stores secret.

The thing about the value of gold in a society is that it is only valued within the society. If society collapses, there will be no group or entity that could value it. You'd need to wait until people start rebuilding. But then you'd need to be in a position to shape how currency is decided on and minted. Unless you've kept your load of gold secret, it'll be hard to convince people to adopt gold as a currency without starting on more even ground.

Easy. Look around at random strangers. Pick out some characteristic. Anything at all that you can reason makes you better than them (the more illogical the better). Now just hate them for it. Even better if it's something they have no control over.

Curious how soon we would expect to see signs of an exodus if there were one? I'm all for dunking on conservatives but I imagine it takes a little longer than a month to put moves like that in place. Plus he's not even mayor yet so he couldn't have any direct impact on the city.

will likely still be around after I die, unless someone leaves it in the rain or something.

Yup. Totally ruined. Lucky for you I have a special cast iron disposal company. Just bring me your rusty cast iron and I'll dispose of it. The best part? 100% free.

Are they going to do that stupid shit and release it on 2 or more stages? I fucking hate that and it's making me drop streaming services.

It's hilarious all the conservatives are like, "but Bill Clinton is in them too!" As if we give a flying fuck if that whole family gets destroyed from the files.

How did the military find out about your autism? I could see this being similar to the "don't ask don't tell" situation in the past with gay people in the military. It might be disqualifying, but they wouldn't know unless you told them. The police might have less stringent requirements, but unlikely some random officer/employee that answers the phone would know definitively. If you're comfortable not disclosing it, you might be able to try.

 

I'm hoping to find a game similar to Borderlands Science. Preferably something that can be played on a phone. Top tier would be the ability to play offline (sometimes I don't have great cell service though I understand it would need to be connected to some degree).

I can easily zone out on somewhat mindless games and play for hours if I have the free time or spare attention. Progress tends to be my limiting factor. If I've just put 10 hours into a game and the next time I pick it up is the exact same as the first it can feel like a waste. If instead, those mindless hours were going to a good cause that is progressing (even if I don't directly see that progress), it might make it easier. Plus it's going to a good cause.

 

The cliche understanding is that dogs mark their territory with pee. At times I've been on walks with family and friends with half a dozen dogs. There have been occasions where they form a line just to pee in the same spot.

So how does the ownership work? Is it like a co-op? Last one to pee wins?

 

How bad are everyone else's side effects? I currently take a 30mgXR in the morning and 10mgIR part way through the day. I can get some facial tics and other OCD like symptoms. They aren't bad enough to lower my dose or make other changes at this point. Just wondering what others are experiencing and if anyone has any tips or tricks to dealing with stuff like that.
