Rev. Anderson has been incredibly consistent in fighting for everyone's rights in the time I've known her. She earned this position through hard work and genuine advocacy.

Substantially increases my productivity. :)

Will do :)

I'd love to edit this into a wallpaper for my dual monitors (5120x1080 resolution). Is it possible to get a version without the large watermark for this purpose (maybe one in the corner instead)?

What happened?

With how cheap solar panels, webcams, and a data plan are nowadays, there's absolutely no reason we can't combine the three to make surveillance cameras that people can put on their own property to track down cop cars and government employees instead.

A raspberry pi in a weather proofed enclosure, powered by a mounted solar panel, with a Coral AI accelerator to allow on-board machine learning. Within a few seconds you'll be able to process license plates and store it in a database. Save on data costs by only transmitting when each license plate was seen as well as a low resolution image of the plate to verify.

I wonder how quick they'd make license plate readers illegal.

Yep. Verizon FiOS has been having issues in EP since last night. It's fixed now.

Went out last night for me and again this morning. It's back up.

I'm aware, but for this specific outage the troubleshooter claims there's no outage when there definitely has been an outage in certain parts of Rhode Island.

It's back up for me as of 10 minutes ago.

The coldest my house has gotten so far was 64F.

Did you include your phone number on your voter registration OR a mail ballot application?

It's a non-issue being blown into a partisan one for political points. Library usage has been declining for decades. Most kids don't even take out books. If kids are seeing things you think are objectionable, I assure you, it's via their tablets, smartphones, and computers. It's from Reddit, 4chan, Twitter, etc. Not the local library.

Additionally, we should not trample on the First Amendment just because some speech may be objectionable. Going down the road of regulating objectionable speech gives power to the State to use arbitrary measures to censor speech it doesn't like. Sure, you may be okay with this now because the current people in power are those you trust, but you cannot always guarantee this going forward.

We need to have children reach their full potential. Let's expand AP course offerings, and hold our students to a higher standard. Offer more mathematical courses, such as linear algebra and statistics, in high school.

I think we agree here. I'm just opposed to the culture warriors trying to censor books and restrict freedom of speech.

Or a Florida school board meeting where hours are spent debating which book to pull from the shelves next.

Yep. Broadening the tax base by bringing in opportunities like this will spread the cost of city services among more taxpayers, thereby preventing substantial tax increases.

Exactly. I'm very happy that the incumbent mayor is actually doing _something_ about the severe lack of housing. Is it perfect? No. But he'll do way better of a job than his opponent who is being supported by the local NIMBY group.

Have to grease the wheel to get anything done in this state!

The disinformation on LGBTQ folks and education in the last paragraph in the first image, and it continues on in the first paragraph of the second image.

Shareholders have found out you don't have to take the risk of the boom/bust cycle. Just price it higher. Gas in an inelastic good. That's a major reason why companies don't even bother drilling anymore, even if the government made it easier.

Use an adblocker such as UBlock Origin.

The networks are to blame, too. They charge ever increasing fees. The local channels don't necessarily see more revenue as a result and many of the staff are poorly compensated.

I'm glad Verizon is standing up another increase.

1. Don't hold a party in public view where police can easily witness the unlawful activity taking place.
2. If the police come knocking due to a complaint regarding said party, quietly have guests put any alcohol out of view.
3. Come to the door, exit the house, and close the door behind you before talking to the cops.
4. Respectfully decline if the police ask to come in to investigate. If there is no warrant or exigent circumstance, it may be unlawful for them to enter.
5. Don't talk to the police beyond asserting your rights.

I am not a lawyer and people should seek legal advice before throwing a party like this.
