Imagine, instead, that we rewarded police officers for minimizing crime, minimizing arrests, and minimizing violence. If you can't do community policing, if you can't help people who are struggling, then don't be a cop, and maybe don't be a politician either.

Saved the tailgating truck behind me this morning from getting a speeding ticket by seeing the cop two miles ahead and driving the speed limit.

Cornwall, NY is over the CT border and there's been numerous reports of foul smelling rain from there, too..

The amount of hit and runs I've heard about lately is absolutely insane. It's why I got a dash cam but I still need to get a rear one too.

> Since trans women are women (whether they transition or not), we shouldn’t shame them by recommending regular prostate exams, or anything related to their former gender.

WTF? You have to be trolling. Some anti-androgens used as part of HRT may actually mask the symptoms of prostate cancer, that's actually more reason to get screened.

Exactly. She's not only shown up but has volunteered countless hours every year in pushing for legislation and actually organizing folks.

People who actually know her, can testify to that fact. Her gender identity had nothing to do with why she was elected to this position.

Rev. Anderson has been incredibly consistent in fighting for everyone's rights in the time I've known her. She earned this position through hard work and genuine advocacy.

Substantially increases my productivity. :)

Will do :)

I'd love to edit this into a wallpaper for my dual monitors (5120x1080 resolution). Is it possible to get a version without the large watermark for this purpose (maybe one in the corner instead)?

What happened?

With how cheap solar panels, webcams, and a data plan are nowadays, there's absolutely no reason we can't combine the three to make surveillance cameras that people can put on their own property to track down cop cars and government employees instead.

A raspberry pi in a weather proofed enclosure, powered by a mounted solar panel, with a Coral AI accelerator to allow on-board machine learning. Within a few seconds you'll be able to process license plates and store it in a database. Save on data costs by only transmitting when each license plate was seen as well as a low resolution image of the plate to verify.

I wonder how quick they'd make license plate readers illegal.

Yep. Verizon FiOS has been having issues in EP since last night. It's fixed now.

Went out last night for me and again this morning. It's back up.

I'm aware, but for this specific outage the troubleshooter claims there's no outage when there definitely has been an outage in certain parts of Rhode Island.

It's back up for me as of 10 minutes ago.

The coldest my house has gotten so far was 64F.

Did you include your phone number on your voter registration OR a mail ballot application?

It's a non-issue being blown into a partisan one for political points. Library usage has been declining for decades. Most kids don't even take out books. If kids are seeing things you think are objectionable, I assure you, it's via their tablets, smartphones, and computers. It's from Reddit, 4chan, Twitter, etc. Not the local library.

Additionally, we should not trample on the First Amendment just because some speech may be objectionable. Going down the road of regulating objectionable speech gives power to the State to use arbitrary measures to censor speech it doesn't like. Sure, you may be okay with this now because the current people in power are those you trust, but you cannot always guarantee this going forward.

We need to have children reach their full potential. Let's expand AP course offerings, and hold our students to a higher standard. Offer more mathematical courses, such as linear algebra and statistics, in high school.

I think we agree here. I'm just opposed to the culture warriors trying to censor books and restrict freedom of speech.
