From what I have read, they bring their own sand, which is finer than typical beach sand, and they use something like a big bucket with the bottom cut out to hold the sand in place while they saturate it with water, which helps compact everything as it drains. It's really cool, and it's still working in sand, but these gifs never show the prep that goes into making it possible. Notice at the end she makes some trees with the ol' dribble method, but doesn't try to add any more details to those.
It’s all a matter of degree, and whether it is subjectively difficult to live with.I think you’re right that at least some of the symptoms can be mimicked or exacerbated by lifestyle.
I really want to see that brought up in every news story that includes a quote from him.
You could still get a dui that way, unless the tow truck driver holds your keys for you.
Well, actually no. Someone owns that land, and they don't want you trespassing and tearing it up to find food. Most of the stories I've heard about people 'living outside of society' involve a lot of stealing from remote communities.
And, of course, it is extremely offensive to depict the Obamas (or anyone, but particularly Black people) as a different kind or ape, or any other primate.
Just to be pedantic, all humans ARE apes! Great Apes. Apes like nobody's ever seen before. Other apes include gorillas, chimps, bonobos and orangutans.
still too long.
Cool. I was just commenting on the term 'copaganda,' but I'll have to check it out.
I think it's more about volume-there are so many cop/detective shows. There is rarely any real nuance about crime and society, it's just bad people getting caught and punished by the good guys. It's always wrapped up with a full confession or proved beyond doubt, rather than seeing someone pressured into taking a deal because the evidence is ambiguous.
I remember when this happened and it was such an obviously bad deal. A billion dollars was worth a bit more back then-but 75 years?!? Absolutely insane. Now, the street parking did improve with the new meters; I think people forget how terrible it was with the coin operated ones.My favorite, though, was that less than a year later, it was reported that no one really knew what the billion dollars was used for, but it was definitely all gone.
I believe the parking enforcement is actually run by the same company. Meter maids are separate from police. Police only give tickets for improper parking, not for the meters.
If only someone had leaked that footage about 11 years ago.
I thought Chicago as well, until you made me look at it again. Garbage cans look like the ones they use in Chicago, and I've seen the the anti-rat flyer there as well. OTOH the 'free estimates' flyer has a 267 area code on the phone number, so you're most likely correct that it's Philly.
Their choice to follow illegal orders puts us all at greater risk of being blown up by a tyrannical government.
Technically the speaker must be sworn in before the next year’s session starts in January then the other members are sworn in by him.If that ceremony doesn’t take place, he has no authority as speaker.This won’t necessarily stop them from continuing to cheat, but the excuses that they are currently using will need to be updated.
This is how things were done all the time until the police got overly militarized. And it makes no sense to worry about destroyed evidence when you're looking for a person.
Last I read, none of the agencies would actually admit involvement. There will be a record of who is responsible and whether they overstepped, but we're not going to find out unless the family gets good legal representation.
I never said that. It *could* be part of invalidating the warrant, if it could be shown that the officer lied when obtaining the warrant. But that would require more than simply being wrong. What I'm saying, and I believe what most others are saying, is that the officers need to show some decency and respect for the people they are investigating. They need to use judgement about confiscating possessions and money, rather than being on autopilot. These were not the people they were after.
You knock on the front door during daylight hours and present the search warrant. You station some officers out back in case anyone runs. If the occupants do not open the door, or resist-then you force it. If the occupants cooperate, you show them some respect and allow them to dress, if necessary, before ushering them out of the way. You use your whole brain to determine whether the object of your search warrant still makes sense once you see the interior for yourself. It's not that hard.
If you can't see the harm in the government sending a group of armed men to break down your door in the middle of the night, and then order you out into the rain, without allowing you to dress yourself, based entirely on mistaken information, then taking all your computers, cash and phones, just because their paper says they can, then, I don't think you care too much about anything except flexing authority and keeping people 'in their place.' You should be embarrassed of this opinion.
You keep insisting that is what people are saying, because you have failed to grasp that other people see a problem with the government CONTINUING this search after it became abundantly clear that the object of the search was not there, and had not been living there. People are also objecting to the effect of this raid on a family that has nothing to do with the object of the raid.
I haven't seen anyone in these comments taking the position that it would be reasonable for them to simply leave upon being told that the person was not there. What people are saying is that the method of the search, a nighttime SWAT style raid, and the conclusion of the search, taking everything that wasn't nailed down/leaving this family with no recourse, were not reasonable. It's possible to execute a search warrant by knocking on the front door, during daylight hours.
You don't think it would be reasonable of them to realize they've got the wrong people and maybe not steal all their belongings? You don't think they could at least have a point of contact so that the victims of their mistakes have some idea of how to get their property back?
Some bullets were misplaced.
Sounds like.
I think the difference between new and restored is only a big deal if the window is quite large. All bets are off if you have an air leak because the old window frame has rotted away.
If I remember my art history correctly, some of those statues were made ‘without arms’ because the arms were made of wood, and could be changed for different occasions.
