It is almost always better to give money to your local food bank than to someone on the side of the road.

They buy in bulk, making the money go farther. Also, while casualties from panhandling are low, motor vehicle accidents are still common enough.

And yes, some people can’t make it to the food bank, but that’s a rarity. It’s done because they can get more that way than at a food bank. Unfortunately food banks can’t do the same (legal reasons).

It doesn’t. That line makes it feel that way, though. See https://lemmy.world/comment/22058240

And…

Epstein and associates held a lot of sway over officials of many countries. Redacting those foreign officials gives the US control over that leverage.

I’m not sure why this never comes up in articles.

If you eat an apple from the top down, you can eat the middle without much texture change. Apples don’t actually have a “core”, just seeds.

Haha if you go back, Meal Deals are addictive. They look like cheap gas station sandwiches, but they’re quality ingredients with good fresh bread. Combos we don’t get here like cheese and onion are just a very different thing than you would expect.

But did you get a Meal Deal?

The one thing they left out was school buses. Schools did let out early, but too late, so the traffic from the buses and parents melted the first layer of snow, with no plowing or salting. So it refroze into sheets of ice before people left work.

Note: I now live in a place so cold that this week I hiked in -6F and had ice cream outside at 13F. 😃

Video is gone

I read his biography long ago. While it didn’t pull punches, even then he seemed really promising and I left it with a good feeling, just flawed character traitsany people have. It was easy to believe those things true until negative sentiment was revealed and it clicked on what he must have been like during those times.

Loops Engage earplugs have been wonderful for this.

When a deputy said he suspected the shooting may have caused the victim’s death, Adams “became visibly upset and began to cry,” the affidavit stated. The deputy also told him that “while he was shooting towards the ground in his backyard that there was nothing behind his property to stop any bullets from traveling beyond his property and hurting someone,” the affidavit stated.

The state failed. This man should have not been allowed to own a handgun without proper training. I’d bet in this moment he had no idea bullets would bounce up. Just sad that some basic laws would solve this.

Wouldnt standard PPE ear protection render this useless?

Bad take. Say you are a developer.

You can get paid to build a video hosting platform to entertain the masses, and a company makes a huge amount of money, but you get paid and it’s your job and people like your work.

Or you could get paid to build surveillance software for an authoritarian government.

Both are jobs you could do, but you have a choice to not do one of them.

This is this man’s choice, and it’s a good one. Applaud him.

Who’s going to turn this into the meme of the guy looking back and the angry girl?

Master Ken has tried everything for real.

Not to mention she lived. So… he’s a… good shot I guess?

I gave it one more shot after being away for a year. Posting my latest 3D Printer mod (after on Lemmy and the manufacturers forum). Immediately got a snarky garbage commenter. That’s what I get.
