I tore this apart in a comment in the original feddit post. For you Australians the tl;dr is that the data is outdated, with some of it being from 2014, while other data is from the pandemic. NONE of the data from any country is from 2023 as is being claimed.
The NeoGeo and 3DO were essentially the custom gaming rigs of yesteryear and their price was in line with that. You would have been hard pressed to build a PC in 1990 / 1991 for $1,600 that was capable of what the NeoGeo was doing. In fact I'm not even sure it would have been possible as commodity PC hardware that could do that kind of pixel and audio pushing didn't really exist yet.
Depends on their wealth.
The kid was driving an Audi S4. I suspect they have some spare $$$ available. (assuming they haven't spent it all on repairs)
Hard to say. The kid was driving an Audi S4 so they likely have money.
This has absolutely nothing to do with "Stand Your Ground". SYG only applies when you or someone else are in real and imminent danger of serious bodily harm or death, neither of which were true in this case. That's why the guy was arrested and has been charged with a number of serious offenses. He's going to end up in prison.
Since you aren't from the United States I should also tell you that SYG isn't a National thing, its only legal in the States in that have passed laws allowing it.
I keep wondering if a legal framework like the US where you weren’t legally punished by attacking a thief in your house wouldn’t be fairer but then there’s news like this.
That's called "Castle Doctrine" and like SYG it isn't National. It only exists in the States that have passed a law to allow it.
It CAN work but there's at least a few States that have Castle Doctrine and a Duty to Retreat so you end up having to flee a home invader until or unless you have no other choice.
We have the electoral college, the senate, and gerrymandering.
The outsized effect of the EC and Gerrymandering have a very simple fix. I wonder why Democrats never talk about it?
It’s sad you have no third strong grassroots movement,
One of the few things that both Democrats and Republicans work together on is making sure that there are no viable third parties. They make it extraordinarily difficult to get ballot access at any level whenever possible and on the odd occasion that a 3rd party candidate does make it into office they pull out all the stops to make sure they lose the next election.
One was supposedly delayed from CA to OR because of “weather” which is odd as it has been sun and mostly mild temps over the last week.
Not to defend UPS too much but enormous wildfires probably go in as "weather".
Only 2nd, not 3rd?
The best way to do this would be to use data from 2023 (as the infographic claims) and NOT data from the years 2000 through 2022. It would also be helpful if the source wasn't a right-biased US based organization whose stated goal is de-regulation of the Medical Industry.
They could also do their reports using established methodology instead of creating their own, base it on first sources instead of literature review, and maybe they could avoid biased sources while they were at it.
Seriously, I tore into the data and sourcing and it's simply awful. The base report isn't really even about wait times, it's about increasing efficiency (and thus profitability) through using telehealth, blister packs, and OTC contraceptives.
