I collect old books. It's not common to buy books at all yet to buy old books. Library sales as big as concerts exist, little book libraries everywhere but the used book stores are constantly closing.

I wish people cared 25 years ago. Unwanted books in boxes are everywhere. Its a false hysteria. You can still get any book you want, digitizing is the best bet for more readership.

Never seen that particular SSL error before!

I appreciate Truth in Advertising, at least one High Street is legitimate in this world!

This is just a weak AI summary, the headline told the story as well

It becomes a "syndrome" when your dislike takes up.your attention, emotions and character and all logical thought about the topic is replaced by emotion filled rhetoric.

This is what passes as publishable journalism these days? It would fail a 101 class. What a sad state of affairs.

Regardless of opinion on Musk, normalizing whining does nothing for anyone.

Until costs of utilities, food, medical, insurance are dropped by technology, there are no societal gains, just loss of human jobs.

Was quite unimpressive. In general ChatGPT has been degrading in default quality for months

In an adjacent research project I asked 5 LLM's today about suspicious deaths relating to whistleblowers. All 5 identified this case. I was surprised as I did not think there was much media coverage to have made it into training data. It's a hard prompt to get around content safeguards as it is.

I know I have created a few dozen "registries" for research and stat analysis with my team. All data is depersonalized and HIPAA compliant. I dont understand how a generic statement made to the public becomes a recipe for the next reich. I get how the FB crowd would just go hyperbolic, would not have expected it here. Ive worked with medical, insurance, legal, banking and finance data for a decade. It would be easy to scare a normie by describing nearly any of those projects, but its the exact opposite, everything is done with a preponderance of caution to ensure privacy compliance.

The head of most healthcare systems are administrators. An Environmental Lawyer with decades of experience suing corporations using science as evidence is one of the best matches we've had. Is he good? I dont know, but it is misperception and I think fairly illogical to expect an admin/leadership role to be done by a MD or research scientist. Not seeing many tech firms run by a lead developer either.

It didnt, It was a list of wishful thinking. I have more exposure to families with previously called "low functioning as it relates to children, and plenty of adults who are very capable and high functioning.

What I do not see people willing to discuss

Parent getting called to school 3-4x a week, causing issues with work

Child running from school or aide and requiring a tracker program

Police/CPS involvement from "runners"

Destruction of marriage from constant state of stress

Violence to siblings

Inability to give attention equally in the family

Incredible high divorce rates, parents and any non a to a pairing.

RFK's speech had some issues, but if you read the transcript it does not match the sound bytes

All of his references to negative autism behaviors/impacts were in regards to the 25% of profound autism.

As I said, I know at least a dozen families where the above is their experience. Single moms breaking down on FB because they have no support and stressed to the max, Dad losing out on projects and sales because it cant be trusted he'll be in the office when needed. Siblings hiding away, sick of outbursts,yelling, non stop activity.

It is a disservice to all of those people to act as if the spectrum does not have a far range of activities.

That sure as hell doesnt mean we need to start trying to end "autistic people" and I think it is manipulation to say RFK's prevailing theme has ever been "autism", it has been a belief that the weaknesses in our food and drug systems are increasing chronic illnesses, mutations etc. Some headlines travel longer, the AIDS/HIV denial and Faucci hate should have got way more attention.

Its not RFK's words, its the media's practice of hyperbolic language that causes any real or perceived damage to the community.

I dont believe there is a connection to find, but maybe this will end the snipe hunt and that funding can just go towards creating spaces and education that allow for a range of interaction and social styles after September. But to ignore both sides of the experience is disingenous and is certainly a slap in the face to the families experiencing real hardship from their child's divergence.

I am not even a fan, I just despise the lazy characterizations that get slung around in all emotional spaces, he is mostly a careful speaker, especially compared to the norms now.

He said he had Asbergers in 2021 on SNL. There is no reason any further detail would be public.

Was a quick and easy read for me. The novelty works for me as I generally do read every word and dont fall into scanning if It's worth reading. Have used similar models in regards to pricing and revision policies. Thought the logos were excellent and far exceeded the requested price.

There was one logo with little bowl and chopsticks, something Thai related and when I first saw it I was reminded of a cockroach before recognizing the chopsticks and bowl.

I think we can expect parents to watch their 11yo when it comes to broadcasting themselves on video

This is an absentee parent problem using the internet as a nanny.

Just because it is ubiquitous does not mean it is the correct way.

Are you familiar with the vocabulary of rhetoric and logic?

That all could be a complete cover up and the cowards sat outside, but we certainly don't know that.

It does seem like the absolute Rambo who busted in and ended it did it while off-duty and perhaps outside of the local PD's control.

It also seems like local PD got at least one child killed through inaction, which should be enough to tar and feather all of them.

But it will be quite awhile before trustworthy details come out.

No one saved any children from the barricaded/defended classroom, no children not in the barricaded/defended classroom were shot after the gunman entered.

If they entered the school and found their own children, it was not from within that room.

"Have it both ways"

Merely pointing out an existing unknown, they may have cctv and know what was happening in the room. It's the part that concerns me the most, did they allow a crazed gunmen to slowly mow down children over 90 minutes?

My expectations is that did not occur but is a much larger concern than your whimpers about whether human beings acted parental within the course of their jobs. None had the opportunity to enter that room, the only one that mattered.

Parkland had a coward cop, I'd be very quick to call out more should they exist, we don't know yet, but from what we do know your suppositions do not hold water.

Still all unverifiable, but what seems likely if you put aside your breakdown as monstrous and look for a rational explanation and relate to police procedure

The shooter makes it into the school under pursuit and enters a classroom with two adjoining classes.

Officers are reported as shot in the process.

At that point, there is an armed gunmen in a classroom barricaded in.

It's now a hostage situation.

The rest of the school is occupied by police and evacuation/threat plans are being followed.

Storming a classroom filled with hostages is not procedure.

Parents and others running into the school when they already know where the shooter is and what the situation does not help anyone.

Although the timeline is 90 minutes or so from entry until he was neutralized that doesn't mean he didn't just shoot everyone in the first minutes.

The idea that they just gave up or were all cowards is a bit irrational.

Because the outcome would be the repeal of the law

Wouldn't you just block all of Texas then? Remove liability and stop servicing them.

Users will then pressure for a repeal

There are different attitudes,congestion and interactions for cyclists in different cities. NYC drivers seems particularly antagonistic towards cyclists, I have seen many examples of what seemed like intentional strikes to me by taxis and commercial drivers who are likely to be more time crunched and build up a frustration towards cyclists. But cyclists also seem to be of a more daring rugged stock there too.

Granted, my only personal comparison would be to Buffalo, Albany, Poughkeepsie and San Diego, all which have much less congested city centers.

The only east coast city that matched the "needles and feces" attitudes I have seen was Philadelphia. As soon as you start driving into the city it is impossible to notice how much trash and car debris is in the road. The moment I parked, we saw needles on the ground and as a result I was more likely to notice I imagine. But, it was truly a filthy city.

Buffalo city centers do have a high rate of panhandling and street scams, you just learn coping skills.

Regarding #3

Asking users how they were referred is by no means reliable. Many times we have kept that question in place even though we had strong tracking in place.

People tend to just select the first option in a dropdown or radio series or select an option that we can see is not their actual path. The solution offered in the example seems as if he thinks it's a legitimate replacement.

It is not.

Either legislation is changed or enforcement is gone. It is standard to see cash price posting with notices about convenience and processing fees at NY restaurants for example and of course has always existed for gas pricing.

I charge processing fees myself and after confirming myself also had local legal vet it. It was years ago but at the time there was just a cap on what that fee can be (4%)

I sold merchant processing in my twenties for a bit, that was definitely a real or assumed regulation at that time.

This suggests that there are state level regulations that may not align nationally to me

Summary:

I ran online advertising myself with no knowledge or experience and it did not go well.

How surprising!

For context, for over a decade across thousands, maybe tens of thousands of campaigns, a 30% increase in sales and leads has been a low benchmark that is easily achieved within 60 days of acquiring a client with few exceptions. As the space has become more congested, it has not become more congested with capable people, actively identifying lower competition mid to end funnel terms has remained a very stable and reliable method. You'll also find that so few digital advertisers are actively modifying and testing landing pages and expanding that inventory of landing pages based on what their conversions teach about their audience.

The language of the article makes it clear he never should have added a credit card to an ad account.

That timing is interesting, I wouldn't be surprised if SCM is a hacker news reader or at least has a Google alert set up and actually saw this thread and reacted.

Using the filename and basic dorking you can still find copies as I found a half dozen last night when sharing the above link, but seems like sharing any link just helps it disappear. If the two channels are really the same producer, which seems true to me, than some of the actions recorded for Vagrant Holiday are not something you can put your face next to, if SCM was filming in his own neighborhood he may have become concerned about opsec and what clues are inadvertently remaining in that old content that could lead back to him. I don't see what external privacy/legal concern would cause all videos to be removed since they are all different subjects so I think it his choice.

Ah, thats terrible, I was still watching Vagrant Holiday videos

Here is a reupload - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBQi88JJ38Q

After seeing this comment and watching a few of the AMAZING vagrant holiday videos, I learned from the comments that he likes to upload to specific locations and has deleted his videos and re-uploaded them many times over the years.

I checked other mentioned locations and you can still watch the full collection here: https://www.bitchute.com/video/OkQQggPH6a9B/

My family home was sold off for a 2,300 tax bill this past December in Poughkeepsie,NY. My elderly aunt had not received any letters in her name and was completely unaware. Through a system of tax lien sales the city removed all culpability for collections and private property rights. The house is valued at 220,000 and is completely paid off. Private investors in regions that still have tax lien sales buy up all tax liens and than hope for mistakes or financial difficulties so they can claim properties. This mostly impacts disadvantaged commmunities and makes up a beginning of the distressed property industry.

It is a market filled with bottom feeders and shadow corporations, I had to break through the contact details of 13 different corporations in order to discover the lien buyer, they never once contacted the official deed holders and attempted resale/bargain etc .. they just disappear the property through paperwork.

It is possible that we will recover the property due to due process errors, but that requires access and knowledge of the law that many who find themselves in this situation do not have. The traditional foreclosure process offers far more protection for homes with equity but can be a burden for those who are behind on tax/municipal payments and do not have the fine/fee funds so there is no perfect answer, but no answer should include government seizure of property without fair recompense. That is by definition unamerican.

The law that allowED this in Poughkeepsie was on the books from the late 1800's but was upheld as constitutional in the past.

There are a lot of very dark, very sad stories around this mechanism of govt.

Ling has definitely updated the site but the source code still has it's great art.
