I work with someone about my son’s age. My coworker is constantly asking if I saw some video on TikTok or YouTube. The answer is always so he tells me about the video. IDGAF

This is state law in California. Enforcement differs in each area. I don’t believe Oakland checks.

This story is being reported elsewhere. It had been in the news cycle for several days as more individuals and govt agencies commented.

AP from Wednesday - https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-vance-arlington-cemetery-1.7307539

EDIT - The story continues: Reuters from Thursday - https://lemm.ee/post/41014140

I was at the dentist today. Second time they made me wait more than 30 minutes. Aside from that they asked for a much higher payment than I agreed to just one week earlier.

I got up and told them I’m leaving and they can keep the money. The apologized profusely and convinced me to stay. They did get me in and out very quickly after that.

I doubt I will go back for the second half of the work.

Also happened when I took my 5 year old son to the dentist. The doctor’s policy was that no parents are allowed on the treatment room. I told my son to get out of the chair and left. Turned out that dentist was trying to put fillings in teeth that would fall out before fillings were even needed.

TIL rabies and drunkenness have similar signs.

Maybe some of the people I’ve met really were sick on the head and not just drunk.

Already happening in Northern California. PG&E (Pacific Gas & Electric), which is a FOR-PROFIT utility, reduced the price it pays individuals for selling extra power to the grid. The reason cited was there is too much power being sold at the wrong time of day.

Take a look at California ISO to see real-time graphs of electricity generation and usage.

Solar is currently generating about 50% of total electricity. A percentage of that is going to batteries.

It does not prevent people from voting.

It may, however, amplify distortions of the truth or bold-face lies.

With regards to AIPAC it amplifies the voice of a group that is ONLY concerned with the advancement of Israeli interests.
