Let’s see,

• license already suspended
• accelerated to speed through a red light at 78 mph
• attempted to flee the scene
• driving after using some unknown mixture of hard drugs
• killed two people

I don’t know what people deserve, but that would garner prison time in most places. Of course, prison isn’t effective at rehabilitating people, only deterring crime to some extent and punishing people.

I’d say a sentence of at least a couple years, a requirement of drug treatment, 5-10 year license suspension, and probation with a longer suspended sentence if she’s caught driving.

Where did the idiotic “thanks for your attention to this matter” thing come from, anyway? It’s absurdly out of place half the time

No

I had a gf who considered herself Christian. Not someone who talked about it a lot, but I guess she has some belief. I have a fairly negative view of organized religion in general. She really wanted to start going to church and I was um, wow, sounds horrible. She looked around found a church with surprisingly cool people - not at all bible thumpers, or full of pretentious nonsense, hell and brimstone, none of that. They support LGBTQ, operated a homeless shelter, gave sermons about pro-abortion rights and astronomy. I was pleasantly surprised. Still I ended up determining that I didn’t want to wake up at 7:30 each Sunday to go there. I figured out that she viewed church more as a social club and some sort of tradition from her family.

If it was someone drastically different, like talking constantly about reading the bible and telling me I had to convert and basing half their life around it, absolutely not. I not only am not interested myself but I think it would illustrate some negative aspects of their personality that I don’t want to be around. I had a gf who owned a retail store and people would come in and tell her ridiculous stories about Jesus healing people when they were missionaries in Africa. Later she’d tell me and ask “Do you think that was true? Jesus really DID THAT?” and I’d have to be um… no. That lady sounds like a liar or a psycho, sorry. Not great for a relationship. It turned out it was just some feel-good thing for her. She didn’t read the bible or really know anything about scripture. Just thinking “magic jesus loves me” made her feel good. I’m only really vaguely religious but still I can’t respect that.

“Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Cream cheese. Hot sauce. Even just salt

It’s irritating that YT added that. The vast majority of people have no idea, of course.

Compared to how long ago? I haven’t noticed any changes.

In my experience, people are generally unaware of current events and history. They don’t understand basic math. They are very poor at critical reasoning and don’t comprehend things like evidence or facts, so they’re easily convinced by hunches or baseless claims prominent people make.

Waves are created from energy unlocked from various sources, including wind, the Moon, earthquakes, and underwater landslides. So, it seems unlikely.

Wow, the pi constant naming inconsistency is terrible.

Oh, I see. Just an idea. I was wondering if maybe they’d block or redirect you.

The prices vary based on how much usable meat there is in the cut vs. bones, and how much work went into cutting it. Wings are mainly bones for instance. It can also be how fast it sells, so the risk the packages will spoil before they’re sold and what quantities they order or produce it in.

You can go to grocery store sites and set your location to a specific store, and look up items.

Anyway I looked it up at my local Walmart (Arizona, US) and boneless breasts are $2.69 a lb, boneless skinless thighs, 3.49, and wings, $1.19 a lb. Ten lbs of chicken leg quarters, $6.50. So it doesn’t seem to have gone up a lot.

Yeah. I have celiac and would very much regret eating a sleeve of saltines.

I use hyphens a fair bit but don’t even know how to make an emdash in comments. As an HTML element, sure.
