Vans and minivans do everything trucks and SUVs do,
And move big things. I have a minivan. But I destroyed my suspension using it to rent yard equipment. I couldn’t rent many because they wouldn’t fit. There’s also the whole moving a muddy bush hog into my carpeted minivan that is a huge hassle.
Some manufactured DVDs can go bad too.
As Alton Brown said, “Cake is only the delivery system for frosting.”
You have a comically large magnet.
If you are close enough to a hard drive for a magnet to affect it, you are close enough to hit it with a crowbar.
I can’t tell if you don’t know the meme.
Where’s the rest of the owl?
I’ve had to block so many German Lemmy’s. It’s frustrating because I can tell it’s a good article and I believe European news more than US news now.
Bluesky didn’t start with millions. Europeans chose it when there were none. Like Facebook getting its start because Savarin used his college frat connections across the country to get the ball rolling, I’m sure there were paid influencers who got things moving for Bluesky.
OP doesn’t realize that an optometrist isn’t an ophthalmologist. Optometrists check your vision. Opthalmologists will also check medical conditions like glaucoma.
That’s weird. I’ve been getting tests for decades and never saw the picture. It’s always been a yellow light. Several years ago the doctor switched to a pressure test because the air puff isn’t as accurate.
You know what happens if you fail to report some income? You get a notice 6 months later for the amount owed. That’s it. It’s no hassle at all.
It’s ridiculous that the US doesn’t send a tax bill to citizens like is done in other countries. You get the bill, amend it if there’s anything they missed, and send it back. If they know enough to audit you, they know enough to send the tax bill.
Google maps in Android Auto can be infuriatingly wrong because of paid spots.
I once looked for nearest gas station while driving and Google tried to route me to an Exxon 10 miles away even though I knew a Shell station was a mile away. To double check, I eventually found the Shell gas station myself and while stopped in front I again asked Google for the nearest station and it still tried to send me to Exxon. I then searched for Shell gas Stations specifically and it showed it.
So Google has the Shell gas station in its maps but didn’t want to route me to it.
You always say you are done after being proven wrong. Which part of the percentage of Blacks in prison have declined did you not understand? I linked to Black leaders who asked for the bill. I linked Black equality websites that said it has gone down. You linked to Wikipedia that said it went down. Your final dodge was prison numbers as a whole have increased but again your own Wikipedia article shows that even in absolute numbers, it has gone down from 2008. Obama helped. Biden helped. There isn’t a ratchet. You it proved yourself.
I already said prison population has increased. But on a percentage basis, Blacks are less incarcerated than in the past. Is it racist that there are now far more Whites in prison because prison population has increased on an absolute basis?
Yes there are more in prison. And not even using percentages, prison population has decreased from its peak in 2008.

Percentage. There are more people alive today than in 1970. The total number jailed has also gone up.
But the percentage of Blacks incarcerated has gone down. I already said Blacks are still over represented. But it has improved since the crime bill. Your claim the crime bill was racist is false.
I took the total numbers from Wikipedia
The wikipedia link you gave doesn’t have historical numbers? But it did say Black incarceration declined. Which is the opposite of your claim.
Your numbers aren’t in the Wikipedia page you linked. Your link did say this: “However, in the 21st century, the incarceration rates for African American and Hispanic American women have declined”
I already linked this article and here are more links: “Imprisonment Rate of Black Men Has Fallen By Nearly 50% Since 2000”

The example you gave was Democrats enacting legislation requested by the Black caucus. It is the job of politicians to listen to the citizens. Black citizens asking for laws to help the Black community are not racist by definition. Are you going to use affirmative action as an example of Democrats being evil too? Maybe you should understand the examples you are using instead of repeating Russian talking points.
Percentage of blacks in prison:
1970 41%
1980 46%
1990 53%
2000 36%
2020 32%
Yes Blacks are still over represented in prison populations. But the crime bill did not increase the number of Blacks incarcerated.
Isn’t that the same as Jails in the US which is separate from prison statistics?
Jail is where you go for the night when arrested for disorderly conduct and are released the next day.
