That was just decriminalization and the state legislature never followed through with anything on their end, let things get worse, and then acted like saviors by overturning the law, funneling all that funding toward police. It's pure bullshit.

I don't have a ton of experience with other cases but I have been blown away by the quality and customizability of the Define 6. It's super solid with good hardware and the ability to convert it around to different formats. You will need to purchase extra drive caddies as mine only came with 4 I think but I've bought extras over the years to the point that I have an extra set that I didn't realize I had. The whole front is drive space from floor to ceiling and It has two mounts in the back for 2.5" drives along with two in the front that can be used to mount a GPU vertically or for two additional 2.5" drives. You will need to buy two extra 2.5 mounts to use all four spots though. Apart from that it's silent like I mentioned with foam in the top panel to deaden noise. It also has removable screens in the base and front for the air intake to make it easy to clean the dust out. Both side panels are removable with lots of cable management built in and a built-in fan hub.

I'm not super familiar with the 7th gen Define and it's XL counterpart so you may do some research to ensure it has the same capacity if these are all you can find now. The Define 6 is only slightly larger than my old Antec midtower case.

"KEEP YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM AND PUT THIS GROUNDING STRAP AROUND YOUR WRIST!"

I agree they have no legitimate plan and are just fumbling with a bunch of idiotic moves and call it governing, but I also agree with the other commentor that these credits aren't as great as people think because manufactures have time and time again raised prices by amounts equivalent to these credit amounts (like when Biden revamped the expiring credit system) so all we're really doing is subsidizing these major corporations with our tax dollars.

Depending on your future storage needs, you might check out Fractal's Define series of cases. I have the Define 6 and have room for around 12 3.5" drives + 4 2.5" drives in a midtower format. It's super silent too with four fans and the nine 3.5" drives I had in it previously (consolidated down to six larger capacity drives now).

Don't worry, with unanimous support from Democrats, the Republicans passed the "Take It Down Act" which makes it illegal to host any such image online.

The Somolian Air Force is probably feeling it so hard right now.

Oh wait I'm now being told that Somolia hasn't had much of a functioning government for the past 30 years so what the fuck are we even attacking them for?

If your visibility is bad when you park front in, then either you're hauling something that's blocking your line of sight (in which case it would make sense), or your vehicle has terrible visibility

Or, you know, you have two vehicles parked on either side of you. Bonus points if they're two fullsize trucks/SUVs while you're in a sedan.

I've been pulled over quite a bit and have never had a cop ask me to put my keys on the dash.

I think those rules are more about loud exhaust pointing straight at people's windows and those fuckers who leave their trailer hitch attached and have it sticking out across the sidewalk at shin height. CO isn't going to reach any sort of concentration where it will he harmful just from backing in near an AC unit.

I used to be a lube tech in a different life 15 years ago and would occasionally see vehicles without dipsticks. Like you said the German brands like BMW and Mercedes but also Chrysler vehicles like the 300 and Magnum had a tube for the transmission dipstick but no dipstick inside of it just a cap on the tube.

File transfers between devices is one reason. With NVME R/W speeds you can easily saturate 1Gb networking equipment. I think 10Gb is more than most people need most of the time but it would still be nice to have if it weren't so expensive. I just bought a small 2.5Gb switch to connect my server and PC together since both have 2.5Gb NICs and that seems to be a happy medium.

Good, we should have done this 20 years ago.

Person A: The Police and prisons should be abolished.

This isn't a "point" it's just an empty statement devoid of any reason or logic.

Person B: "If you’re making wild suggestions, you should probably care about the effects it will have"

This is a person making an implication. They never define what 'the effects' are, they simply hanging an implication.

It's pretty damned obvious what will happen if you abolish all enforcement of the law, people will engage in more crime because there will be little to no consequences for said crime. This is basic reasoning that doesn't require fantastical leaps of the imagination to figure out like Person A's statement does. We can use history as our guide for this as this has happened numerous times in places where the government has collapsed. Places like Somolia where roving gangs controlled local territories with lots of blood and violence. What historical reference can you give where all laws were abolished and something good happened?

This is a shitty conversational tactic where the person never has to take a position that can be argued against but can appear, to the ignorant, as if they are actually saying something cynical and intelligent.

This sound like a description of Person A's statement to me.

I love how you can write a book length comment on all the reasons why it's wrong to argue against you and the OP but have yet to give a single actual argument for why your position makes any sense or will improve anything for anyone but criminals. You can't even describe basic concepts like how any of this would work. Even OP stated "I don't care what happens next" meaning they've given their "point" zero thought or consideration. You two are absolutely ridiculous.

Not a big shocker as our Democratic leaders did everything in their power to make M110 a failure and never distributed any of the funds to implement it while working with police to ensure that addiction became as visible and problematic as possible by refusing to enforce the laws against public drug use. Now they overturned the will of the people and are funneling all those hundreds of millions to police.

This is no different than all those red states who legalized marijuana and abortion and had their Republican leaders refuse to implement those laws. They're two sides of the same coin. Both parties are working against the public's interest.

If you work in Oregon, you're paying Oregon income tax. The hack is to live and work in Vancouver while doing all your shopping in Oregon.

Why should this person need to use their imagination to legitimize someone else's argument, especially one so absurd? OP should make their own argument.

Yes especially when Project 2025 also wants to reclassify what counts as overtime hours to make it unachievable for most.

Furthermore, I don't see the point in Fakespot since Amazon bends over backwards to accept returns for any reason.

Why go through that hassle if you can avoid it in the first place?

This my favorite comment on the Citadel.
