Then you have to hope the library still has a card catalog to fall back on.

And make them a very obvious color like blaze orange, neon green, or optic yellow so it's very obvious they are not normal glasses.

A person can't just walk in and get an abortion because they don't want the kid right up until the birth. Even in Virginia which has no hard deadline for banning abortion, the bar to clear for an abortion is raised for each trimester.

Third trimester abortions require three physicians to agree that not doing so would either likely be deadly to the mother or "substantially and irremediably impair the mental or physical health of the woman."

A single physician can approve an emergency abortion regardless of trimester to save the life of the mother: https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title18.2/chapter4/section18.2-74.1/

Depending on the state, you can still get a DUI for riding a bike while drunk.

Each channel is on a different frequency band on the coax line for analog cable so the cable guy installed a notch filter for each channel he wanted blocked. Cable is digital now so that method no longer works.

Hopefully this at comes with a disqualification for misconduct so he can never get a job in law enforcement, at least within the state, ever again. I don't know if states with LEO qualification databases have to check those of other states but they have to check the one for their own state before hiring someone as a law enforcement officer.

And they say this as Norfolk, Virginia has to combat flooding when there's a nasty storm during high tide, Tangier Island will have to be evacuated within 25 years, and Rodanthe, North Carolina has had to demolish about 10 houses to keep them from being swept out into the ocean in the last year.

At 50 mph, it takes a fully loaded 150 car freight train over a mile to stop.

To further build on this, the train doesn't stop all at once either. The engine brakes and then every car starts braking from the front to the back of the train. That's why the train has to be organized so the heaviest cars are at the front and lightest are at the back. Otherwise the momentum of the still moving cars at the back will send a shockwave through all the couplings of the cars ahead to the stopped engine and shove them all forward.

At least shitty Photoshops mean you actually put some effort in to find source images and put them together. AI requires no effort from anyone aside from the computer.

Good luck. We're all counting on you.

Unless you're JD Vance. Then the best time is January 21 or later when just over 2 years has elapsed in Trump's term so it doesn't count as a term against you by taking over as acting president. Unfortunately, Vance and at least half the Cabinet have to agree to him being incompetent before he can be removed from office.

We'd need a strong La Niña to have a chance for that to happen.
