Nope, not some ~~promised land~~ magic income and never was. And decreasing as weed tourism decreases (as other states legalize).
They've also gone through many consolidation phases where many mom n pop shops have been gathered up by the chains, and quality has dropped as well. Some report a while back was put out that the vendors aren't matching what is on the label and product is weaker than claimed.
It's run its course.
That only ever returned a few million a year in tax revenue, and as more states legalize, weed tourism decreases, tax income drops. State budget is in the billions.
It was never some income saver.
Americans can barely afford to live with constantly increasing prices, and foreigners get illegally arrested and deported. Who's left to visit Vegas, except maybe Leisure Suit Larry?
He furiously masturbates to the suffering of others. His only skill, if called that.
Needs to be taken to Noemees gravel pit.
For all the raving about podman, it's dumb too. I've seen multiple container networks stupidly route traffic across each other when they shouldn't. Yay services kept running, but it defeats the purpose. Networking should be so hard that it doesn't work unless it is configured correctly.
100% this. From the marketing move they were never going to do, to the reversal and shift in "values". They were just doing the New Coke gambit to drum up business.
Other things to do, stop paying for streaming services and check out books and DVDs from your local library. Cancel expensive cell plans (since they are, unfortunately partially needed today), and switch to the cheapest MVNO that works. Downgrade home Internet to the minimum tolerable. Don't upgrade phone, car, tablet, whatever as long as one can hold out. Cancel services like Amazon prime and impulse buy less.
Find local businesses to shop at rather than corporate chains (which can be difficult, so just a little at a time.)
Pay off debts, save, live free. Let the corpos wither.
We also must remember that, while the 21st century Nazis stole the script, it will likely not play out in a linear fashion. So always be sure to read ahead and behind to ensure the proper context.
Also current history as well. ICE was formed in 2003, after 9/11 as a "response" to it, and the whole time, both Dem and Repub run government have used it to deport people in cruel ways. Now ICE is very overt and emboldened more than previous, but the cruelty has always been present. There are many ways this could continue that may not end up seeming so overt, people must remain vigilant.
Find a physical therapist or a certified exercise instructor of some sort depending on your country. Exercise shouldn't hurt. Routines that cause growth or increase endurance will cause some soreness, but properly executed exercise shouldn't hurt.
Biggest lesson I learned that I wish any educator would teach kids early and often instead of, "durr, pain is gain!"
For what it's worth, that app can't access battery management stats at the system level. It just estimates based on factory specs and basic battery telemetry accessible to userspace apps like charge percent. The app power usage stats the OS provides is heavily flawed at the OS level, not all power consumption like modem behavior is captured accurately or at all.
So, tl;dr, just guesses and is of very limited usefulness. It does increase battery consumption slightly though, which... doesn't really help.
We're doing the same thing with all the AI LLMs being built as well. We want to ensure we are the dumbest nation on the planet.
The whole thread is mostly on semantics of firearms and their presence. Does it really matter if the National Guard was issued pink polka-dot pogo sticks instead?
It is still a military force present on civilian soil, which is in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act in the way they did it. The Federal government continues to violate its own laws, as well as the Constitution. The core issue of everything going on right now.
Don't start that old tired TABOR argument.
In Colorado, citizens get to vote when the state tries to increase taxes.
Colorado's congress always drafts bills with language like, "we want to fix school roofs, and also give superintendents Bentleys, and we can increase this percentage whenever we want."
The bills that don't have the nonsense scams, voters pass, as it turns out Colorado voters are intelligent.
One of the State congress' recent gambits, was to fund a firearms safety training program with money from Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Why this route? Because they'd have to ask voters to approve the money needed, and rather than do that, they decided to poach vehicle registration revenue from the state parks department, just to pass a rushed bill in a year when America is on the brink of no longer existing.
Time and again, they haven't shown voters they can be trusted, why would voters let them do whatever they want?
The CO budget deficit right now is more nuanced at any rate. State planned to do certain things, Federal toilet decided to change the rules of the game halfway through the year. Federal congress of traitors and Mango Mussolini are the real cause of the financial issues right now, across the entire United States.
