I agree. The right to a speedy trial not being observed is an issue.

This is only local jails, which makes sense as people are waiting trial then move on to long term prison.

The increase should be capped at inflation. Currently mine go up 10% every year. I pay more in tax than I ever paid in rent. I’ll have to buy a tent in another decade at this rate.

They’d be starving after waiting for 3 days.

That problem happened because there was no way to travel from town to town quickly so if the clocks were off nobody cared. The trains changed that.

Cows kills more people each year than sharks.

I mean when did you ever here of a cow killing a shark.

Consider a site like arstechnica. Just tech news, less depressing crap.

Maybe we need a minimum amount of published information before a candidate can run.

There are people who are running (and winning) locally that I can’t even find a single source about online. Usually the likes of judges, commissioners, school boards etc.

At what point can you tax deduct your phone as a business expense?

In the short term it really helps productivity, but in the end the reward for working faster is more work. Just doing the hard parts all day is going to burn developers out.

Isn’t it called the condom pocket for a reason?

If it were codified like this as law everywhere, people would accept it better. The rule breaking is what pisses a lot of people off. It would be much more predictable and safer too.

Our road system, retirement benefits, health system (except USA), public school system, national parks are all socialist.

Never said anything about whether I tip. Just that there is no such thing as earning below minimum wage legally. The same argument about minimum wage stands for any employee like a cashier, burger flipper etc.

You should probably go see someone about your anger issues.

More annoying than just asking for a tip on in delivery or takeout, is asking for the tip first. At this point it is just a fee.

This is untrue. If they earn less than minimum after tips the business has to make it up. The first $5 an hour essentially go in the pocket of the owner.

There is no need for a separate sound card now, it is built in.

I really wish there was a government program where you can simply opt out of categories of junk mail. I don’t need a mailbox full of catalogues trying to get me to buy stuff, credit offers, or “charities”.

Solid

Some of that is just getting around dumb auto moderators.
