I love that movie. The way they run with blades is so good

When I wonder what heaven is like I imagine going a day without thinking about this Elon Musk motherfucker, then I imagine doing that every day forever and I feel a little closer to Jeebus.

This is Fisker’s second bankruptcy

I don’t have one, I’ve literally played 2-3 games in the past 20 years

Don’t feel bad, I don’t even care about video games

If the owner improves the home and the appraisal goes up, wouldn’t rent go up?

The renter pays extra and receives part ownership. So the owner receives this extra money and… just has to keep the money on hand in case the renter leaves years down the road?

The whole thing is a legal nightmare. Owners would just sell. And who would buy? Corporate landlords who have lawyers who can cut through all this confusion.

Wonder if OP thinks “right side up” means the left side is down

Or The Peacemaker. He killed a lot of Russians in that movie

It’s not open source but Rain Alarm draws a circle around you on the map and alerts you if weather radar detects any precipitation entering that circle. I don’t know if that’s what you want but it’s what I want in a rain notification and it’s the only app I’m aware of that does it.

Thanks! I downloaded it and it can change icons to images and swipes work fine. I just need to figure out how to do folders. It only says “folders in app drawer” in the description, I need folders to open with a tap or swipe on a home screen icon. I still have a copy of Folder Organizer although it’s been abandoned for years. I could get them to work with that if nothing else.

I may be kinda weird. My phone has looked the same for probably 10 years or more. The home screen is a wallpaper but otherwise blank. My name is at the bottom in the dock area, six letters, like M Y N A M E. When I tap a letter it opens a certain app or folder of apps. When I swipe up it opens others. For example, tap the M and it opens the camera, swipe up and it opens a folder of photo apps. Same for all six letters. I have one other page with active widgets for info I can take in visually like weather radar, news ticker, etc but on my main page, with those 6 taps and swipes I can open anything in a couple seconds max, one handed, probably with my eyes closed for oft-used apps.

The letters of my name are 6 different images, I just typed my name in a nice looking font, took a snapshot of each letter and made the background transparent. So to set it up I drag the camera app to the dock then change it’s icon to the M.gif I have saved on my sdcard, then set a swipe action to open the photo apps folder. Really simple… as long as the launcher has those options.

Since I read this post I’ve been looking at other launchers. I could find no way to get rid of the search bar in the dock with one launcher, another one didn’t even have a dock, it had a vertical A-Z on the side so you could open a list of apps alphabetically. Lawnchair won’t let me choose my own images for the icons in the dock, I can only select system icons or an icon pack.

I’ll keep looking, and maybe I can make my 6 gif into an icon pack to use with Lawnchair or something. But without those options I will have to start using my phone in a completely different way than I have been using it for over 10 years.

Look, Mike Johnson is an innocent hard working man who saw a large group of morally corrupt assholes who won’t do anything unless it makes the life of a woman, child or minority worse in some way and said “Hey, I’d like to be the head asshole of this group.” I think he deserves some respect.

Ok I think I get where you’re coming from. It’s membership in the nation group that makes it genocide. But that would make almost all war genocide. We could think that but it kinda takes away all meaning. If all war is genocide then no war is genocide.

It also ignores the second part of the definition, “with the aim of destroying that nation or group.” That is a basic Google/dictionary definition and it’s not bad but the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide defined it as “…acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such.”

First, there has to be intent. Second, “as such” means destroying the group so much that it is no longer a group.

US law isn’t applicable but it is a little more clear.

USC 1091 defines genocide as “…specific intent to destroy, in whole or in substantial part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group as such.”

USC 1093 defines the term “substantial part” to mean: “a part of a group of such numerical significance that the destruction or loss of that part would cause the destruction of the group as a viable entity within the nation of which such group is a part.”

I believe they’re both saying “destroy the group so hard it is no longer a viable group.”

If nation group is the gauge, the question is: During WWII, did the US intend to destroy Germans so thoroughly that there was no longer a Germany? Did the US intend to destroy Iraqis so thoroughly that there ceased to be an entity called Iraq?

No to both of those.

Ba’athists aren’t a nation or ethnic group either.

No not really. Just because we can put the enemy into a group doesn’t make it genocide. Every war is fought against an enemy we can put into a group. The Germans in WWII were Christians. We weren’t committing genocide against Christians.

The goal in Iraq was to change the people in power. We didn’t target Ba’athists, we targeted those in power who happened to be Ba’athists. And if you recall, we did that in like 3 weeks and thought we were done. We didn’t go around rounding up Ba’athists trying to eradicate them. We got them out of power and said “mission accomplished!”

Then it turns out a lot of people, Ba’athist and non-Ba’athist, didn’t like us being there and it became a huge messy “us vs everybody.”

At least they didn’t try that with toilet paper

I keep plenty of scrap parts and supplies but the only “garbage” I tend to hang on to is large foam padding. I have one that I land the end of my kayak on when I’m getting it off my vehicle roof, one that’s big enough to lay on when I’m working under a car and one that I put under heavy parts when working on the workbench. I have a small stack that I will throw away when I realize I’ll never use them then slowly rebuild when I see one and think “I’ll use that for something.”
