It looked like Rosenbaum chased him for like 10 seconds while Rittenhouse was running away, threw something at him, and they're going to argue that in the last single second before the shooting he possibly raised his rifle in a grainy video where the question of pixels is an issue?
That seems weak but I guess the prosecution needs something.
However I don't even remotely understand what you're going through emotionally/mentally well enough help you on a personal level and I don't understand the physiology and medical implications of transitioning.
However, I truly hope you figure out what makes you happy and wish you the best of luck.
A dollar is presently worth half as much as in 1990. A 100,000 a year job in 1990 is equivalent to a 50,000 a year nowdays.
Every year the noose gets slightly tighter, the slack is slightly reduced, the competition is slightly increased, society become slightly more cutthroat, people are forced to do slightly crazier and crazier things to make ends meet and sacrifice their morals just a little bit more, work just a few more hours to make the same money.
Then new generations are born into a world that's much more competitive than their parents world 20 years previous, and start out thinking this level of competitiveness and craziness is normal.
And the water in the frog pot inter-generationally continues to get hotter.
We're literally on a slow unstoppable pathway to a third world country and no one even realizes it.
Or possibly creating the conditions for war.
If you're referring to anything related to Covid there's no well-established scientific consensus it literally just happened around year and a half ago it's impossible to have scientific consensus.
Even the most respected scientists are saying they don't know about a lot of things related to covid.
also well-established scientific consensus is not an ideal goal post .
Galileo was excommunicated.
Labotomies won the Nobel prize.
Nothing is certain in life when human beings are involved no matter how comforting that thought is. There is only a narrative of certainty.
But other wise...follow the same process.
Almost 99% paper free, no filing cabinets, no losing papers.
Awesome stuff.
Overall for around 100 bucks a month in food/trifexis the value a dog brings to your life is massive.
People will constantly talk to you so youre socializing.
There's a creature that loves you unconditionally which is a really cool feeling.
Theyre a ton of fun so it's hard to be bored.
They're good for getting exercise as they always want to play.
And more.
Theres studies that say owning a dog increases your lifespan as well.
Patient numbers are still NOT ICU capacity. Numbers can go up and still not be at capacity.
If I'm indeed not missing something that is either poor reasoning or a disengenuous citation.
If you get all of your information from the news media there's 'gravity to the situation' but if you look at statistics...
Covid is mostly over in the states and either over or on the downswing around the world, with the exception of a few third world countries.
You should look at statistics and not the news media.
In the U.S., States are at record lows of new infections and almost every state has lifted most of it's restrictions and we're not even at 40% vaccination rate.
Even New Zealand has opened it's borders to Austrailia and their vaccination rate is in the mid teens.
Covid's fatality rate in the states was around 0.00125 and I'm assuming other places as well.
Trying to understand the gravity of the situation that you claim exists.
It's like The 3 billion people who believe in God. Despite all evidence to the contrary the zealots will cling to their narrative.
ICU's run "near capacity" all the time, so the news source you linked is simply stating a normal situation in a sensational context.
See here: https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/patient-flow/2-healthc....
What I mean by Covid zealot is people who believe things that aren't real about Covid based on poor critical thinking and/or poor understanding of the data or some other reason that I don't understand.
You are using an anecdotal Tweet as an actual epidemiological citation.
It's very interesting to me how low the bar is for the Covid zealots scientific sources!
Texas had 40,000 people at a football game, has no covid restrictions, and is at record lows for Covid.
With the exception of Michigan almost every single state has reached record lows of Covid.
It's not an exact science but we have reached herd immunity in almost all of America within a few months of what I predicted.
All with only 25 to 40 percent vaccination number. So it's clearly not vaccination or restrictions providing the full herd immunity.
As for India sure I'll give you that. I should amend my statement to mean 'First world' countries with adequate ICU capacity had no ICU overflow.
You have to quote a third world country with the average personal income of 2000 dollars a month to support your argument because the hundreds and hundreds of other worldwide first and second world countries didn't have any hospital overflows. This is not surprising or unexpected and disingenuous of you to discredit hundreds of other countries in favor of a single country to support your argument.
However, the rest of the first world outside of India has had no hospital overflow.
Asking for a legitimate source this is not the news media.... is not 'moving the goal posts'.
You 'beleiveInScience' Covid zealots think the news media is science. I hate to break it to you but the news media is not a reliable scientific source. You should try to learn what science is before you #believe in it.
I'm not sure what you Covid zealots require to feel safe again.
I legitimately feel sorry for you.
You're in a permanent prison of fear.
Post an actual link to ICU numbers if you truly '#believeTheScience'
Here I did it for you.

Do your own data analysis and see ICU admissions are only up 15% or so.
Also, according to other media outlets, ICUs in Toronto haven't filled up, they're 'NEAR capacity'.....which has been the story for over a year everywhere.
The media drums things up to make money and should not be used as evidence for your argument.
The media also said San Diego ICUs and Houston ICUs were overflowing but it didn't happen.
For example, this sensation article never happened:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/...
Do you have anything supporting your argument of hospital overflow with substance?
Or do you get all of your 'science' from the news media?
The argument was: Did the hospitals overflow from Covid?
And they did not overflow anywhere in the world.
The entire disjointed and bloated gov't safety net apparatus of food stamps, WIC, Rental Subsidies, EITC, disability, unemployment, and more. would go away along with the bloated salaries of the people who run all of those programs.
So massive amounts of tax money would be saved at the start.
UBI is actually a small government conservatives dream.
Then there's also the possibility that the jobs it creates from increased demand due to an economy with a much higher flow of money, could have a deflationary aspect which would allow the money printer to go brr a little bit.
Then also, who know what kinds of new innovation would happen from smart people free to pursue their own goals without worrying about financial insecurity.
Taxes would go up on the rich probably moderately.
But it's doable and affordable and the country would be so much better off in my opinion.
Because if what you're saying is true..with any unnatural gov't interference ...there will be inflation.
(which is inaccurate by the way)
Kidding. Just say you like the tech stack and the problems the company is working on. Hopefully you're only applying to those kinds of companies anyway
When it had its foot on the neck of the peasants for a thousand years during Egyptian times or a thousand years during medieval times?
The only thing that ended massive repression by the government during the middle ages, was the black plague which killed indiscriminately and allowed redistribution of the wealth and subsequently the enlightenment.
What about when gov't started started holocausts, genocides, crusades?
When it invaded Vietnam and many of the other frivolous wars the human race has been in?
This is not hand wavy this is history.
SECOND OF ALL, this is not a temporary hit this is permanently hurting hundreds of millions of peoples lives increasing real poverty around the world destroying small businesses and people's livelihoods.
This is rewriting society and culture.
This is increasing homelessness, suicide, drug addiction and overdoses and more.
If you think this is a temporary hit you and the rest of the people like you are truly in your own bubble.
Lambdas expand infinitely, k8's can easily autoscale stateless docker containers out forever.
All for starting under a 500 dollars a month?
150$ for EKS, lambdas first X million are free, and are cheap as hell from there, cloud LB is 50 bucks a month, etc.
Not to mention all the other benefits that containers provide Infrastructure as Code, no dev environment incompatibility problems, etc..
That is UNHEARD OF historically.
I think you may have some rose colored glasses or I'm just idealistic and naieve, but it's insanely exciting what's possible for a small enterprise nowdays.
The problem nowdays imo is management. The business people have taken over tech instead of tech people running things. And people without knowledge of tech, running a tech shop always makes the job suck.
3 bucks a month and they handle scaling and all that shit for you supposedly.
It's not free but you get a way more functionality than a static site offers.
PostgREST or Serverless framework for the backend.
Avoid middle ware all together!
They made the parking rules unclear and never enforced them then cracked down brutally.
