Those bolts were missing likely because of a software glitch that nobody caught... if you go by the article that was posted in the last monthly thread, they use 1 official system for problems/work and 1 that is not official but is used for ~metrics~

Whoa someone actually tried “have twin take the blame” to get out of a crime. It uh, had some flaws.quote:A Minnesota woman whose S.U.V. struck a horse and buggy last fall, killing two children and injuring two others, tried to trick the authorities into believing that her twin sister was the driver, according to court documents. quote:Eyewitnesses who had been driving on the road told sheriff’s deputies that they had stopped when they noticed the rubble and injured children. One witness said that he had noticed two women, both with blond hair, who looked similar. One wore a black coat, black leggings and sandals; the other, later revealed to be Samantha Petersen, the driver of the silver S.U.V., wore a red Hy-Vee grocery store uniform, footage from the sheriff’s office later showed. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/06/us/mn-amish-buggy-charge.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Tk0.V6gI.Ycq54NDvwpin&bgrp=g&smid=url-share

Yeah it's that, plus leadership has zero ability to gently caress up rank-and-file members that get out of line. Pelosi could count her votes, credibly threaten anyone out of line, strategically release vulnerable members to vote no, and never go to the floor until she had the votes. Hell, Republicans can't even get most bills out of the Rules Committee, due to the freedom caucus chuds they put in there. They're blocking nearly everything from going to the floor, so Johnson is calling all this poo poo up "under suspension" with 2/3rds needed to pass anything, instead of the barely-simple majority that he has.

This latest batch of full loony republicans I've always thought their shepherd lacked a big stick to keep them in line, and now instead they've got their "base" that will threaten to burn their house down if they don't do what they want (what their TV tells them they should want).

This is why I direct my amish murder inquiries to DuckDuckGo, they don't hand that poo poo straight to the cops like Google. Also if you get into less serious accidents than that with the Amish, I've read they're very loathe to ever go to the cops or sue, preferring to let God sort it out.

On that note, a few months back in north Seattle a video surfaced of a driver intentionally running over people. They made arrests:quote:A 13-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy accused of intentionally hitting pedestrians using stolen cars on Aurora Avenue were charged Tuesday in King County Superior Court. Dunno what even to do with kids that broken at that age. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/teens-charged-in-aurora-avenue-hit-and-runs-targeting-pedestrians/

Used to be a lot more leeway when specific groups/families would ride buggies without lights or reflective gear, but that style of buggy seems to have gone away (at night) due to both law enforcement and just by frequency of death. Buggy light laws in daytime are still hotly debated and sometimes face noncompliance out of protest.

Hyrax Attack! posted:On that note, a few months back in north Seattle a video surfaced of a driver intentionally running over people. They made arrests: This is probably going to be a very unpopular opinion but there’s probably not much that can be done with kids who are committing vehicular assault for fun in stolen cars before they’re old enough to legally drive. In all likelihood, they’re more likely than not going to end up in prison again for life or dead themselves. We’re dealing with the same poo poo in DC, lots of armed carjackings and robberies committed by actual children (9-12 years old in some cases.) A few months ago a 13-year old kid got shot and killed after he and his 12-year old accomplice tried to carjack an armed security guard near the FBI HQ. And this is taking place in a city that funnels a ton of money into programs aimed at keeping kids off the streets. It’s a tragedy with no shortage of blame to go around.

Such a strange street, it's completely different from the places a block or two to the east and west where you have expensive apartments and houses, and bougie bars and restaurants. It's the deadliest street in Seattle, and definitely one of the most economically socially struggling parts of the city.

Nevada does a weird thing. The state created this primary thing on 2021 to be more inclusive (more people vote in primaries than go to caucuses) so naturally the GOP continues to caucus. Both candidates chose to not run in both: trump because the primary on the GOP side doesn’t matter since the caucus is what allocates delegates, and haley because she knew she wouldn’t win in the Nevada caucus because of the electorate so she tried to get press as maybe winning in the primary. It’s funny as hell she got bodied in the beauty contest by “none of these” but that really means she’s just like 30+ points behind thrump
