That could be from the buzzing.

To be fair to the journalist(s), it could be a budgetary issue. It's a small town, and their 98-year-old mother was living with them.

Was.

The stress of the search killed her.

Meyer also blames the home raid for stressing his 98-year-old mother enough to cause her death on Saturday. Joan Meyer was the newspaper’s co-owner.

Oh... Fun Fact. I'm from KCMO where the Chief served for 24 years. Look up our gun violence rate (maybe you can't, I tried, and it looks like news agencies just stopped counting due to the frequency - the last one was just on Saturday) and our homicide rate.

And Missouri just voted to mandate that KCMO gives KCPD 25% of our municipal budget... While not even having full control of the force. Nothing like Civil War relics fucking us over in the 21st century.

KCPD has only solved 32 murders this year (as of June 28). As we're on pace for to make a new record for annual homicides

And, of course, Missouri has some of the loosest gun laws in the nation. And the State bans the city from passing firearm regulation.

So.. yeah, 24 years of service to a PD that is known to be corrupt. And misogynistic. And Racist. Very Racist.

If anyone is interested, I try to profile political events and figures. My Wikileaks profile can be found here. I plan to do a Julian Assange one in my next chapter, and I am currently finishing up one on The U.S. Green Party.

Basically, I'm trying to illustrate in plain language how Putin became the greatest threat to human existence.

I don't want to, but I'm thinking about switching to FF since Edge and Chrome have been having freezing issues for the past six months or so.

Native ad blocking via extension would definitely help nudge me over. Especially since I'm considering getting a OnePlus Open and a web browser would be a vital part of the Foldable experience.

Interesting bootlicker take amidst a content creator strike in Hollywood. Granted YouTube isn't under those Unions, but the power dynamics are quite similar (#YouTubeUnion)

Sponsors don't give a shit about creators, they are just an annoying necessity for the content creator.

Why give a shit about a sponsor who doesn't give a shit about the YouTuber you enjoy?

A Samsung display could put this device in Samsung/Apple tier territory real quick if they price it right and at least match Samsung on software updates.

The Open is quickly becoming what the Pixel Fold should have been.

Compared to Google, I think the SOC that will make it stand apart from the Pixel Fold. The Tensor 2 chip was still based on Exynos, so having the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will put it up against Samsung almost immediately.

Compared to Samsung, it will likely come down to a boring iteration with relatively dependable QC vs a device pushing the boundaries of the genre with potentially less dependable QC.

I do think the Open could become the Foldable for ROM junkies. I think that market will prefer the SD over the Tensor.

I'm really leaning into buying a OnePlus Open when they come out, depending on price.

I currently have an iPhone 12 Pro Max, which is starting to act like a three-year-old phone.

With the price hikes, the iPhone 15 Pro Max could be within $100-$200 of the Open, if OnePlus decides to price the Open closer to the Oppo Find N2 rather than the Samsung Galaxy Fold.

So... $1,199 for an iPhone 15 Pro Max with an outdated screen, still no touchID, and no mute switch, or...

Possibly ~ $1,099 - $1,399 for a OnePlus Open for what will be the largest foldable on the market with the latest hinge tech, fingerprint scanner, and a mute switch.

I'll likely pick up a cheap Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Classic LTE to use until the Watch6 Classic comes down in price next year.

1 in 30 American children were homeless as of 2013.

The report was released in November 2014 by the National Center on Family Homelessness at American Institutes for Research. Between 2012 and 2013, the rate of homelessness among children rose by 8% nationally. “That means that 1 in 30 American children—2.5 million—were homeless in 2013,” Dr. Bassuk, founder and former president of The National Center on Family Homelessness, said. “These are historically high rates.

Child Homelessness: A Growing Crisis - The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration April 6, 2022

Those were 2013 numbers. Pandemic numbers eclipsed those.

The United States:

"First world" nation or "shit hole" country?

We have everything we need to be the former.

Our (GOP) politicians religiously ensure that we remain the latter.

I can relate.

A number of issues, not the least of which was my birther believing unironically that Obama was the Antichrist, led me to go no contact with my family for what will be an entire decade come this December.
