Do you know where the money went? Sounds like there's a couple hundred grand in cash floating around out there.

She'd have to pay the remaining balance before the bank will release the lien.

Ah, a new spin on the "I'm just asking questions" method of spreading FUD and propaganda.

If that had happened, I'd bet money they would have arrested clinic staff for assaulting an officer or some other bullshit charge. They already do this when police shoot innocent bystanders.

Lol I'd hardly call it a Pavlovian response. It's more that it's a well known date for stores to have sales on their merchandise, which is why people shop around on those days. I don't see what's so offensive about saving some money on a purchase you were going to make anyway, but I think there is some projection happening here.

The point is to increase sales. Browsing a website or walking through a store and not buying anything doesn't generate any revenue for a business. Nothing is being consumed, nor is anyone being forced to buy things against their will as the term "ordered" would suggest.

Do you get this bent out of shape when a store has a sale or promotion at any other point in the year?

I'd hardly call them "orders." I will shop for deals on both days, but that doesn't mean I'm actually going to buy anything, especially with all the price tracking extensions available and the severe lack of actual discounts over the last few years. I will only buy things that are actually on sale and things that I actually want/need prior to me seeing them on discount.

I just buy a cheap jumbo pack from Amazon. They're like 15 bucks and last for years which is good enough for me.

Generally because you're buying cheaper ones that aren't built as well. Heat destroys LEDs and the cheap bulbs generally use fewer individual LEDs running at higher power to produce a given output in lumens. More expensive bulbs use more LEDs at lower power to achieve the same light output so that they're not constantly being overdriven and last much longer.

So, if I understand this correctly, this woman is being sued by the state if California for making a list of bad cops using knowledge that she may have obtained prior to her working for the DA's office? Isn't that fucking special. What are they going to do about the bad cops?

Hey, that's how old my baby boy turned today. What a coincidence!

I read that the ballots need to be printed within the next week so this ensures that the measure will be on the ballot in Missouri.
